N. Korea is awfully close and will undoubtedly get there, but they can't reach the U.S. mainland with a nuclear missile yet.
They have a missile that, when unarmed, has the range to reach the west coast. They have a miniaturized nuke to put on that missile. They haven't yet demonstrated that they have a missile that, when armed, has that range.
Which explains why they are currently threatening Guam.
That said, it's telling that when our President takes his oratory cues from the N. Korean's, his supporter's here rally around the petulant child's rhetoric.
Because, you know, they started it.
