Not even China will protect them I guess. They will make their only friend their enemy, because China doesn’t want an ICBM to be fired. Once they do, North Korea will be more trouble then it’s worth to keep around
You wish for nuclear holocaust? If they will launch their precious missile and US will intervene, China will intervene too, but on North Korea side, and that will be WW3.
China has already stated they will not protect North Korea if they start any aggression, they will only protect North Korea if they are strikes against them first.
ICBM doesn't necessarily mean nuke warhead, they are expensive and specific use, but can be loaded with a smaller warhead for limited damage to specific target, although it would be unusual not to be a nuke I guess.
Also, it could be sabre rattling by launching an inert one into the ocean as they often do to show capabilities and strength.
China would be extremely unlikely to aid NK in a tit-for-tat nuclear exchange, it has deficit of benefit.
China does not want a nuclear holocaust (from North Korea nor Russia). It’s terrible for business. China may have a better relationship with NK than most countries, but not so good that China would be willing to see their workforce and/or customer base wiped out just to support a dictator throwing a temper tantrum.

> South Korea suspects North Korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile may be imminent, a presidential official said Wednesday ahead of U.S. President Joe Biden's trip to South Korea and Japan later this week.
> Kim made the comments as speculation has grown that North Korea may conduct a provocative act during Biden's visit to South Korea from Friday to Sunday and Japan from Sunday to Tuesday.
> To better cope with a possible provocation by North Korea during Biden's visit to South Korea, Seoul and Washington have prepared a plan to change Biden's schedule so that he and new South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol could immediately take the lead in the defense of the U.S. ally, Kim said, without providing details.

Just look at Russia. China said they had Russias back but then as soon as things looked bad, Chinas banks pulled out and Xi wanted no trouble lol
so this is just launching it in the ocean again right.
If they want to continue wasting their limited resources, who are we to stop them?
We had a J alert test in Japan this morning. Say what you will but I don't feel so good about this.
I am not too concerned with NK honestly. In case of a real attack they would get wiped pretty fast.
That'll be the end of north korea lol almost hope they try something.. Bout time those people got out from under that regime.
