We certainly cannot defend ourselves, given our pathetic spend on defence and the politicalisation/feminisation/gender-bending of our military. We need to listen very carefully to the U.S and act like their best allies. We need them more than they need us, and we need to start appreciating their interest in us.

Thanks everyone for comments.

I did not take the submarines into account big mistake just shows that the more heads involved in situations bring out things that may not have been taken into account.
The damage they would cause by comparison to a nuke is negligible.

The subs are old and I believe the missiles they are capable of using would not be GPS capable just like the scud missiles Saddam used fire them in the direction of a target and hope you hit something.
Even if they were GPS capable the US would shut down the satellites like they did in the Gulf war.

The only negotiated outcome is NK give up the nukes, this absolutely will not happen because America has a proven record that if that happened they would be attacked.
Also America and SK are making the situation worse by holding military drill every year right on the border, if the were to stop the situation would be calmer.

Where is the money coming from, also can they shoot down the new hypersonic ones Russia and China have?

Australia’s new warships to have missile defence

PRIME Minister Malcolm Turnbull has made a pointed statement towards North Korea as he unveiled Australia’s new fleet of warships.

AUSTRALIA’S new warships will have the capability to shoot down long-range missiles including those from rogue states such as North Korea.

The Royal Australian Navy will add nine new anti-submarine frigates with anti-missile capabilities to its fleet, complete with the multi-billion dollar technology, with construction planned to begin in 2020.

“Recent events in our region have proven that Australia’s future frigates must be equipped to defend Australia from the threat of medium and long-range missile attacks,” Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told the Pacific 17 maritime and naval showcase, referencing North Korea.

“We must have the capability to meet and defeat them.”

Also Quote "The government says it hopes America’s Aegis combat management system will protect Australia “in the decades ahead”, according to a statement from the Prime Minister’s office."

The guy is a fool - He HOPES it will protect Australia.
