However I do believe whatever is going to come down is already in motion. I somehow think it'll be similar to how Putin went into Crimea....Our military officials were absolutely amazed at how Putin pulled that off....but in doing so it also revealed Putins capabilities which was to our advantage. Our guys learned Putins technological capabilities were much more advanced than they had thought. He shut down all their communications...every bit of it .. Shutting down Kims communications would not be so difficult......and I do think there are N.Koreans in N.Korea who are already prepared to assist. This last defector was a high Official in Kims brood....who said their would likely be those in Kims circle more than willing to to see Kim go.

North Korea and Cuba are the only countries in the entire world without Coca-Cola.
I picture the North Koreans on day one or two surrendering in droves to the south and her allies much like saddams army
I’ve seen those pictures and would agree with you; however, given the Nork expertise in tunnels, mountain and underground, I wonder how much or how many armaments, aviation assets and other supplies have been squirreled away? I suspect we have vast intel on all this and hope that we do.
I am concerned about the tunnels under the 38th parallel and into Seoul. I hope the ROKs have the ability to shut these down as soon as the first shot is fired.
It would be a series of flashes followed by thunderous sound, and it would last for maybe 2 hours. And then silence from that area for hundreds of years.
Prior to any war on the Korean peninsula going hot, South Korea needs to broadcast across the border that all Norks that lay down their weapons and refuse to participate in Un’s madness will be spared. Let them know that it’s Un that everybody sees as the problem, not the Nork citizenry.
This is a bloody disaster in the making if it occurs. Unless North Korea work to try to make some paralyzing attacks in the US or elsewhere, most of the bloodshed will be in Korea. At home here though, the impact would be incredible as our Korean imports would stop overnight. If china work to side in anyway with North Korea, we lose our Chinese imports overnight as well. Or at least we should, we can’t be buying products from an open enemy. North Korea can play everyone, unfortunately. My step father served in Korea, came home with machine gun scars. What few stories I heard him tell, are not nice. If war were to erupt in Korea again, I suspect it could go either a. Very quickly, or b. Very bloody all the way around. I wonder if we and South Korea could Cut the head off the monster to prevent an escalation if war were it to start? Would China maybe intervene before things get started or escalate to cause regime change? That might change the dynamics entirely.
We have tactical nukes for a reason and big nukes also.
Yes, I think China is more concerned with that survival, then interested in supporting North Korea. Same with Russia. The they will both play mischief if they can, but I think that is a very thin opportunity, that could quickly hurt them both very directly.
Thank you.
Hmmm, I guess Tim Lincecum, who got two wins in their 2010 World Series is long forgotten. For what it’s worth, Edgar Rentaria and Pablo Sandoval were the MVP for 2010 and 2012, respectively. Bumgarner had one win in 2010 and one in 2012.
One more interesting footnote:
If an effective EMP weapon is deployed, its going to take out our largest transformers. Ones you haul by rail.
We source those in South Korea.
Let’s say the Canadians or Mexicans have those in stock. Locomotives are essentially big diesel generators.
Repairs will be difficult.
Oops. Wrong thread.
`I just feel Iran has to be tied to and engaged in this to kill two birds. Axis is real. May as well dispatch whichever current Axis.
What a dumb title for an article!
The Second Korean War already happened, between 1950 and 1953. For details, just check a history book that covers the twentieth century.
For info on the first war we fought in Korea, in 1871, I recommend http://www.shinmiyangyo.org .
I thought that war never ended, it's still technically going on?
Why do you call it a 2nd Korean War when we have already fought there twice, in 1871 and the early 1950s?
