I wanna do something like that mission, but (1) my group would pose as NoKor soldiers and (2) we would take a Chinese and Indian ballistic missile submarines so we can fire them at Aleppo, Syria, Kiev, Ukraine, Pyongyang, and St. Petersburg, Russia.

What else do I need?

What else do I need?

Detailed and intimate working knowledge of the submarines inner workings, control systems, and a dozen other things that take years to learn.

You would also need launch codes, which aren’t even stored on the vessel and are kept at the highest possible level of security, usually only privy to the 3-4 individuals in the entire host country.

You would need an effective way to not only track, but predict where one of these vessels would be. Keeping in mind that these things are specifically designed not to be detected, ever.

And a willingness to deal with the consequences of the nuclear war you will inevitably start by flinging ballistic missiles around.

Other than all that, it seems pretty straightforward.

Other than that, the easiest way to take control of SLBMs is to become the leader of a country that already has them. Way cheaper and more reliable.

A reality check, and a chill pill.

The only valid path really is to kill Kim Jong Un and somehow convince everyone there this give you the right to run the DPRK now.

Every other modernized industrial nation with access to nukes also has control systems both mechanical and social that will make it extremely difficult to become the leader for the purposes of using those nukes. ‘Lets Nuke ‘em!’ is a scary political platform that will drive people away from your campaign, and is also a blunt instrument your opponent can and will use to hammer you into submission during the election. Even if you get around all that somehow (assassinations?...), you can be guaranteed that the Military are not going to just blindly hand you the football, and will instead do everything in their power to stop you, including a Coup ( More assassinations???...) It’s a bloody path that will either deligitimize you as the leader, or leave you dead.

The only way you can use the nukes willy nilly is if you’re surrounded by crazy-ass insane batshit people like you from top to bottom, including the electorate. North Korea might be the only governing body on earth who might resemble this, so perhaps they’ll elect you the glorious leader somehow after you kill KJU somehow. A heck of a hail-mary and you’ll be dead for sure if they don’t go for it. If they do though...well, who’s going to stop the new glorious leader from nuking a few places if he wants?

A legitimate reason for one. An actual plan for how you think this kind of thing would go down would also be nice. The reason we don’t just kill the shit out of Un is that while many people in NK would love to leave, there is a large percentage of actually brainwashed people. the only way to put an army in that country would be to exterminate the population, which obviously we don’t really have justification for. It would also be evil as shit.

Better hope that the launch keys are stored in a locker that’s locked by key and not by a code as well.
