    I really dislike that there is absolutely nothing that you can do to shoot a nuke out of the before it hits. No missile defense system, no patrolling aircraft, nothing. If they have a nuke and target your city, you're toast.

    This comment opened the rabbit-hole for me (I saw 'patrolling aircraft' and was like 'wtf no, is that a thing?'). Turns out there are quite a few systems for dealing with nukes, but they all have low-ish success rates, or (other than the interceptor and thaad) have very limited ranges.

    http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2013-03/us-says-it-could-stop-north-korean-missile-how - the most concise overview article I found about some of the systems. Read deeper into each one - I like the THAAD myself.
