... 8,000 artillery pieces,..

Thousands of those artillery pieces are in easy Range of Seoul, just north of the border. Preemptively firing south would be devastating. The city wouldn’t know what hit them.
But, is the little fat kid really wanting to give up his dictatorship and the accompanying billionaire lifestyle?
I doubt it.

what if China or Russia drove their best nuke missile parts over the border and NK was able to assemble a bomb that is able to make it to the dead center of the US and detonate a that magical altitude to permanently put us in the dark?

Blizzards.

That’s our secret weapon.

Dairy Queen Blizzards.

We drop bombs filled with Blizzards on North Korea.

Then, we tell them we’ll give them the plastic spoons if they surrender.

Can’t eat a Blizzard with chopsticks.

Victory is sweet.

I posted a 3 min CNN video with 1.8 million hits that outlined in 2013 how a 2nd Korean War might play out.

That’s up in post 6 or so, up there, I guess.

There was an article posted a couple of years ago about their aircraft capabilities. There was a link to Google maps showing the aircraft parked in various locations around bunkers. I looked at it, and it all looked scary, but looking at it closer, it looked like the aircraft hadn’t been moved in years. There was grass growing in the runways, and some of the aircraft kind of looked like models. If the North Koreans go to war, we’ll find out exactly which of the weapons are real and which are bluffs, and I am not sure the north wants people to find out.

DJT wouldn’t engage unless we could knock or lase down crosswise from either side the barrage NK would send. It’s a narrow peninsula, and all NK can do is shoot south, and we have the firepower to stop it all.

NK expert claims on CNN in 2013 that in order to win and then secure NK’s nukes it would required 200,000 troops.

Kims army is very weak....he can’t even feed them so there wouldn’t be a ground war much to speak of .......and Kim knows it....I figure those most loyal to Kim would just take their own life because some deal will be made to slip Kim out of the country. ..he’s a coward period.

Not much.

No one wants it except MAYBE fat boy and he'd be taken out almost immediately.

The resulting party would loosen all restrictions on the North Koreans and the South would flood back in with food, equipment and technology.

Two to five years and a unified Korea once again.

BUT ONLY UNDER A TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

Trump's the only guy that really wants to make a beautiful world out of all these super folks he has doing a terrific job in unbelievable circumstances I can tell you.

Do you think it’s ‘on’ - I do - and maybe Merkel will vouch for/take Kim. Dirty sow.

China will do the deed....and there will be no war....China and Russia troops on both borders just show China still wants to control what happens in Korea....China will take over governance either with their people or choose who they want. But the old guard will be “taken care of”...one way or another...and Kim shuttled off to some unknown country for the rest of his days.

One of the first things he’ll probably go after is Incheon Airport. Since it’s on an island, it will be relatively hard to take back, and if he times it right, should give him a number of hostages for his troops to hide behind. Blow the causeways and sow a minefield around it, and he has a bargaining chip.

“But, is the little fat kid really wanting to give up his dictatorship and the accompanying billionaire lifestyle?”

That’s the bottom line, in my opinion. It’s hard to imagine how the nork problem ever gets solved. Everyone in power would rightly be tried and executed if regime change somehow happened, so they won’t ever go down without a fight either. They saw how the creep of social change eventually wrecked the leadership order of other communistic hell holes, so I don’t think we will be able to McDonalds them to death either.
