Given that North Korea makes rapid advances (thanks to China), missile defense systems will be overwhelmed (<50% interception probability of all incoming missiles).. so, yeah.. either we'll see an attack on the US soon (secretly backed by China and executed by North Korea), or we'll see an assassination or war on the Korean peninsula
