we might not be best buddies with china, but if we make some basic concessions (you can run the puppet state and keep your buffer) they'll let us take them out.

You forgot the *

* Seoul being wiped off the map in the first 5 minutes by the thousands of artillery pieces that everyone knows about does not in fact count as a severe loss.

I was stationed at Camp Casey in Korea and we all knew if poo poo hit the fan we would be turbofucked if we were not out in the field.

Basically the whole North Korea conflict will end like this - US does a preemptive strike, NK sends some shells/chemical bombs at Seoul and kill a few hundred to a few thousand south koreans, and then the US sets up a puppet regime and dismantles every military installation they have and adds some US owned ones by the northern borders.

You do realise that conservative estimates by actual professionals say that 100k will die in the first engagement? You can not knock out that much artillery that quick. There is a metric poo poo ton of arty on the border. Arty tubes are easy as poo poo to maintain.

And that's best case scenario if you discount their nuclear weapons. Reports are saying NK is believed to now have the capacity to fit nuke warheads to their missiles. And the missiles are thought to be capable of reaching mainland US. And they may have as many as 60 nukes.

Wonder if the guys who invented Twitter ever thought it could one day be used to kick off a nuclear war.

honestly my concern is that they nuke tokyo.

kim, while a dick, wants to make all of korea best korea.

i'd guess they'd shell a bit but save the fire for japan - either tokyo or the american base in okinawa for a 2:1 combo

Arguably my use of 'few thousand' is subjective so it could easily mean 100k. :smug:

At any rate I'm not Brown Moses so I'll admit my made up numbers were bullshit and that I should listen to people who know what they're talking about. Seoul has like 10 million people in like 230 square miles, so if they basically sneeze anywhere near Seoul they'll kill a shitload of people?

Though I can only hope nuclear war takes down Twitter, I won't be able to see Trump poo poo himself live during a press conference about his electoral map if the internet goes down.

Speaking of rank incompetence, I wonder how likely it is that Trump's "executive order tweet" on transgender people in the military simply continues to be ignored by the armed forces because there is no follow-through from the white house with specific instructions and everyone just pretends like it never happened?

Because I"m kinda thinking that's how it's gonna go down lol

Remember when NK put out a propaganda video a few years ago showing off their military power and skills where all the soldiers were using old WWII guns? And a bunch of them were so visibly broken that they wouldn't even fire anymore?

I assume pointing out that Trump is insane, incompetent, going to get hundreds of thousands of people killed, and is likely to use nuclear weapons when the threat has been effectively gone for nearly thirty years is considered a "petty political disagreement" rather than the absolute most important issue in world right now.

Also since the Soviet Union/China cut off economic and military aid their military is in even a more dilapidated state.

Not to mention being hopelessly outdated in term of technology.

North Korea is going to be terrible at projecting force beyond their nuclear threat. That doesn't mean I'd want to get into a war with them on their turf, especially since other countries are likely to jump in on their side if the situation isn't handled carefully.

For example, you have to get China on board before you take any action. Fortunately, this administration isn't know for taking poorly-considered actions unilaterally.
