A target IS something you aim AT and therefore it MUST be THEIR targets.Simple grammar
Also, there is no way that N. Korean missiles can reach the UK, and as someone said above they likely have no idea where the UK is anyway.
My own view is that they would be lucky to hit Guam even if they have the range to do so. But the media are loving all this sabre ratling, sells newspapers doesn't it

I wish posters would stop relying on the Daily Express for anything other than the football scores, but like you said it sells newspapers

Re: Trump v Korea
My prediction:Fatboy is trying to goad Trump.
The Chinese premier has advised Trump not to overreact.
Trump will warn Fatboy and probably do all he can to restrict any trade with NK.
Fatboy will continue to goad Trump.
Fatboy will either see sense and calm down, or will be bumped off.
The worst scenario:
Fatboy will make the mistake of targeting South Korea, Japan or Guam, the only places he can reach, with a nuclear IRBM.
Assuming he hits the target and assuming the nuclear warhead triggers, Trump will react.
A single US nuclear warhead will obliterate Pyongyang or some other city in NK, depending on the size of the target hit by Fatboy.
Fatboy will either be dead or have realised the futility of proceeding further.
In either case, the UK will support Trump politically, but will not fire any nuclear missiles at NK. There would be no need for this. Even if Fatboy wanted to, there is no way that he could reach us from the other side of the world as he has only medium range missiles and no submarine launched missiles.
So we are all perfectly safe. Keep calm and carry on!

Others disagree with your assessment of the range of his missiles.

So, strictly speaking, yes, but only if North Korea manages to land a missile on mainland USA.
The UK is within reach of two of North Korea's Ballistic Missiles.
You are a worry guts Mups, no need to be.
In the event of a Nuclear Strike, you will be safe.
We know exactly where our targets are and you are safe from the immediate effects.
Ruthio and Summer are the ones to worry.
First strike is HMS Warrior, North London, Cornwall, Trident Base, a place in Hampshire, near Harrogate and North Birmingham.
It is all mapped out.

With no official dialogue between the U.S. and N.Korea, even another test fire by Kim could bring about an exchange. The problem with Kims missiles is they haven't perfected a safe reentry, from space, they would burn up, so the U.S. is safe for Now. But we don't need to wait till the Little Despot is able to do so.
