The question is will China come to the rescue again for NK if they detonate a Hydrogen bomb above the Pacific ocean. My guess if NK does that Trump will use this to respond with military attack on NK. I think people give way too much credit to NK military ability against US bases in the south. Their artillery is old and once they start to fire from the mountains our aircraft will take them out.
That artillery is not pointed at US bases, it's pointed at Seoul.
I've spent time counting those HARTS. There are too many to take out quickly enough to save Seoul, except by tactical nuclear weapons. That's something we've know for decades, and it hasn't changed.

Read this "The North Korean military's most powerful tool is artillery. It cannot level Seoul as some reports have claimed, but it could do significant damage."

Did you read the entire article?

If projectile flight distances reach proven ranges (or commonly accepted ones) and involve these new systems, then the northern portion of Seoul could be saturated with fire. Even areas south of the Han River could be within range of 170-mm self-propelled guns, 240-mm multiple rocket launchers or 300-mm multiple rocket launchers, depending on their position on the North Korean side of the DMZ.
If every one of Pyongyang's 300-mm multiple rocket launcher systems were directed against Seoul, their range would be sufficient to rain fire across the city and beyond. A single volley could deliver more than 350 metric tons of explosives across the South Korean capital, roughly the same amount of ordnance dropped by 11 B-52 bombers.

Surely someone, somewhere, must have developed a plan to deal with those artillery guns in such a way as to save Seoul from complete destruction, even if some amount of damage is inevitable. It's intolerable to me to suggest that there's nothing that can be done to save that city in the event of an attack.
Oh, and surely you must realize that it is not a contradiction to say that Kim's artillery is pointing at Seoul AND at US bases. After all, Yongsan Garrison (the headquarters of the U.S. military in Korea) is located in Seoul. And there are several other bases in the metropolitan area as well.

I didn't say there was "nothing," and in fact I identified what can be done. But that's not a pleasant option.
