Jim, do you have any knowledge of
SKIVVY NINE ?
Most of that
'Intel' you wrote of ... we already have.
This MUST BE A PLANNED, PREEMPTIVE STRIKE, timed out to the very second that each piece of the "tools we use, will strike the ground.
And don't forget about
our tactical nukes that can be carried under the wings of many different aircraft like the F-16s and F-15s at Osan and Kunsan.
Then there's the fighter aircraft we have on aircraft carriers in the Sea of Japan, and at out military bases all over Japan.
What about our nuclear powered submarines that carry MIRVs ?
The time from launch of those weapons until the time they strike North Korea could be
extremely short.
There's a lot we can do, and there's a lot the South Korean Military can do.
But you just don't hear about their capabilities ?
I've got 5 short tours in the ROK,
and I'm telling you from a Control Tower Watch Supervisor's perspective,
It'll be over quicker than you think,
and North Korea won't have the chance to do what many LIBERALS and DOVES think they can !
What about our
ASM-135 ASAT missile or
other weapon systems we have ?
What about our
X-37B ?
We HAVE the capability.
What we've lacked ...
is the "WILL" to USE it ! But Trump does NOT have that problem.
Do you think the artillery south of the DMZ that the ROK has, as well as the United States Army has, is just going to sit there and allow Seoul to be destroyed ?
What do you think their FIRST targets will be ?
Our's as well as the ROK's artillery are already
'dialed in' on those North Korean artillery sites, as well as the barracks that house the North Korean soldiers that man those sites.
How many of those north Korean Artillery sites are controlled by electronics (computers) ?
Do you know about CHAMP and its capabilities ?
Do you know about MOP ("
Massive Ordnance Penetrator").
What do you think those THREE Carrier Groups are there for ?
AGAIN I EMPHASIZE ... Timing, and the planning of the timing of the attack (right down to the very second that each 'tool' is launched) ... is critical.
HERE'S HOW TO DO IT ! FIRST, We take out their satellites.
Second, we zap them with EMP Cruise Missiles, radar jamming and chaff.
Then the 'ALL OUT' strike begins.
Kim Jong-un gets a MOAB suppository.
Then we launch every aircraft in the region that's supersonic, including South Korea's fighters and bombers, to cross into North Korea from all directions,to overfly low level at Mach One PLUS, to bust every piece of glass in North Korea.
Then we firebombs the place to ashes.
The only real transportation system North Korea has is ... the railroads ... so they get blown to smithereens.
And that's just the start of day one.
