IMO credible due to the moderate scale of the plan, just tactical to take out artillery sights and make a statement
The Norks won’t go all out... they’re not as crazy as a lot of people think, that’s all bluster
You know, it seems to me that a handful of Tomahawks could sort this right out.
I hope you’re right, but I’m not so sure.
They probably won’t react at all to any ‘provocation’ by the South. It’s not their modus operandi. In all the past Nork aggression, they always wait until they can strike without any significant retaliation.
The Chonan sinking was a classic example. Was it a torpedo, or a leftover sea-mine from the Korean war? At the time, no one really knew, so the South waited until they knew... months later.
Far too late to react.
Which doesn’t mean that the Norks won’t remember this and then stage more aggression a few months from now.
