I should imagine Kim would then have to try and guess what the military command response would be and if it is because of an attack against US territory or that of her allies I would presume either scenario would bring about almost identical consequences.

Let em build it, launch it, then 'disappear' the moment it enters international waters.

As said we can not act first, so its down to NK to keep the words of war going or the real thing that no one wants.

That has always been there to a fair degree; just not presented openly. What it does indicate is that if their was a 1st strike against the U.S., it might take some time to decide. Time is not what the U.S. will have, though.
Really, the issue is the mini-nuke use against a facility or other hardened target. But, that would be fully vetted by advisors and that includes the CG for STATCOM. It would mostly likely be a very large tele-conference. If that one General has an issue, he would be removed hastily. I fully believe that there is conscious and rational thought when their needs to be that. Listening to the press can be bad, very bad. They are out for profit, drama, and muck-racking. |

Yes the President can be told no. Contrary to popular believe a president cannot in any way shape or form on a whim launch a nuclear strike. As Delgard pointed out there is doctrine already in place which is to be followed after certain criteria has been met for such an event to happen.

It needs to be understood that the President is never in a position of making decisions without support. In the context of nuclear weapons, the primary decision support organization is the National Command Authority, of which the President is a member.
Any decision to launch nuclear weapons will originate from the NCA. The President, not only being a member of the NCA but also being the President is the person to issue the order "make it so". It is literally inconceivable that the President has access to any information that the NCA does not have. The NCA's job it to always know more than the President knows so they can amply advise the President on any issue as critical as the use of nuclear weapons. The President does not have any information that is not given to him by subordinate staff. The NCA, consisting of several individuals each with an extensive support staff, can naturally process more information than a single President. In short, the NCA tells the President "we need to launch nuclear weapons." If the President were to suddenly decide to nuke Bolivia, the first thing the NCA would do is ask the President "why?" If anything nuke worthy was happening in Bolivia, the rest of the NCA as well as the JCS would already know. IN fact, it would be these groups and other groups that would be informing the President, not the other way around. Any unexpected order to nuke a country without sound military rational would be suspect. This is why the SecDef has to approve the launch decision. Only the President can initiate the decision to launch, but in the case of an irrational decision, there are subordinate levels of protection. The President is incapable of launching any nuclear weapons. The President has the capability to order the military to launch the nuclear weapons. Contrary to popular belief, the President's decision to launch nuclear weapons is not the start of a nuclear decision process, but is actually near the end of nuclear decision process.
