What will happen if north Korea fires nuclear missiles at the US?

What will happen to the nuclear missles? Will the hit or be destroyed in the air? What will happen after?

Considering that most of America's long range ICBM interceptors are stationed in Alaska (leftover from the cold war) and our mid range interceptors are ship-based, then I say that the 2-3 (absolutely high-balling it here people) North Korea would be able to launch, all with one low yield war head each, we would surely be able to destroy three rockets. The question is how expensive will it be?

They wont as they know they have not yet developed a nuclear device that is light enough to enable it to reach that distance. Japan is about their limit.

However,if they did fire their present missiles they would fall into the sea a long way short of their target,thats if they had not blown up on launch.? Who knows if America has the means to shoot it down ?

Those slopes missles don't have the range to hit America. They can barely get one to fire over Japan.

The US will fire missiles back then ww3 breaks out. And we will try to destroy the missile while its in the air.

well its a disaster for you guys because if they do fire they are going to fire all they got and try to affect the widest range of area so the US might get screwed but israel will probably launch some back at NK... and the US's other allies

this reminds me i just finished watching that one movie red dawn, it sucked!
