This ends only one way. War.

I fear so. Our chances of getting through it without serious radiological release seem grim indeed.

Rubbish.

The world is far more connected today than it was 15 years ago.

The iPhone means that people in Milwaukee are far more likely to be interlinked with people in Ulan Bator or Nairobi.

These interconnected trade flows mean that war is rapidly becoming unacceptable between state actors. It would be bad for business. Pyongyang is kept on a tight leash by Beijing.

Of course we are seeing increasing sophistication from non-State actors such as ISIS and white supremacists, but they dont have access to WMDs as yet (and wont if the worlds intelligence agencies have anything to do with it).
