If North Korea launched even a conventional missile that actually hit the US and caused deaths...the response would be completely overwhelming.
1. Stealth airstrikes and conventional missile strikes on all military bases and targets from in range US bases.
2. At least two carriers heading there.
3. Surgical strikes against any known seats of government.
4. Air superiority would be established by morning after the night attack, including no-fly zones.
Of course, even someone as crazy as Kim knows this...he's just doing more saber rattling, hoping we'll give him some shut up money like we usually do.
China does not need the U.S. to survive economically. They will just push all those people in the commercial sector into complementing their military assets.
Also, just because "China will go broke" won't stop them from a war. The assets they have are already paid for. Money means nothing when you got a big stick.
For a short war, that is likely true, but a US vs China war would have the potential to bankrupt both nations, which is why neither side will let that happen

But if Russia, N Korea, Iran and Venezuela launch simultaneous Nuclear attack on the US we are not prepared to fend off four Nuclear attacks from four different nations at once. Lets say each one launched 3 missiles each for a total of 12, one country attacks Guam , Hawaii and the Oregon. One on the southern port states of Texas, Louisiana, and Florida, One on California, Montana, and Illinois, and the fourth on DC, Virginia, N Mexico and Nevada.
