Therein lies the issue. How to deal with a NK nut job without the mass casualties that would result in SK.
I don’t have all the answers, I’ve thought of several theories, but too many moving parts to work well.
Indeed, Several options, but all (save for status quo) would involve at least many casualties on the SK side.
Not forgetting it - assuming that if the NORKs are allowed to do as they will because they can kill a lot of folks with a salvo of missiles, then we may as well concede that they win.
They can cause a lot of initial, convulsive damage, but that would be it for them.
Totally agree - Seoul would be rubble. My comments were based on the assumption that if we allow the artillery to be a deterrent against any action, we have conceded that the NORKs are untouchable and have won - the flip side is that, while they cause a lot of initial damage, they can be finished off for good.
We can’t concede that they win, I was simply reminding people that millions could potentially die, and there’s not a lot we can do about that.
