SpaceGoku posted:north korea's strategy hinges on their ability to launch multiple warheads and intimidate the other two actors (SK and US) into not doing anything north korea has everything to lose and nothing to gain by taking any military action against the US, nuclear or otherwise they are happiest when raging from their hermit kingdom and doing nothing. they periodically lash out to get attention or food if they are feeling insecure about their rule

JosefStalinator posted:Total war requires enormous economic and manpower costs, and to conduct total war most powerful and wealthy countries had to resort to years of rationing goods in order to fight it. Also, you need a draft to have enough manpower because volunteers won't be enough. Most democratic countries are nowhere near willing to shoulder the burden of total war unless there's a literal hitler marching across the globe (and we still didn't do poo poo until Japan forced our hand in WW2). Even then we still had an army composed mostly of draftees. (Korea was also mostly draftees, though lots of WW2 holdovers as well) also, a total war would obviously be a nuclear war

Duscat posted:also, a total war would obviously be a nuclear war that too, but I think the original question was framed to ask why we don't go balls to the wall to say, defeat north korea (pre nukes) or invade iraq or whatever too. I guess adding to that then - if it would be worth total war, it'd probably be a nuclear exchange too. So any non-nuclear states are viewed as "low stakes" and not worth the enormous costs of total war. Addamere posted:thanks for this, do you have any recommended readings on the topic from a popular science level of reading Not really, but maybe some other posts have better recommendations. Good books on Vietnam would probably be the most enlightening since that was the war that really demonstrated the US' lack of ability/desire to go all in on police actions.

quote:“Nothing is in concrete yet. Give the man a chance,” she said. “Until you hear it from Donald J. Trump himself — and not the news media — then don’t even worry about it. Wait until you hear the man say it, because he will tweet it, he will Facebook it or he will go onto national television and tell everybody at the same time.”
