If we take action it may start with the destruction of the artillery near the DMZ that is pointed at Seoul. This might be initiated with a string of low-yield neutron weapons.
Next we would take out everything launched by the north shortly after takeoff...when it is totally vulnerable.
Then there might be a pause to see if Kim want’s to make a deal that exiles him but allows him to live.
It’s possible that a war on NK might result in only a few thousand dead...mainly the artillery crews.

I don’t think the US arsenal contains any neutron warheads. Maybe I’m wrong. That was a huge deal when I was in HS in the mid-70’s and we basically gave them up back then.

People here forget that South Korea has an Army with counter-battery fire to fight back against the KPA’s cannons. You can’t destroy a large city of 25 million with one salvo.

That is the key— knock out the dmz threat in 5 minutes. Make sure you have a southwest wind and then take out the fat faced bastard and his nukes. Time is of the essence. GO TRUMP!!

This is how I see it too. Much has been made about this NK artillery capability and it's always prudent to never underestimate your enemy. However this assertion of NK apocalyptic artillery shouldn't be taken as an immutable fact. Yes they may be able to fire a strong couple of salvos but in Desert Storm Saddam's supposed fearsome artillery was never able to get off more then a round or two before counter battery tracking and targeting artillery systems and air assets found Iraqi batteries and took them out. The Iraqis quickly found out that to use their artillery was suicide. The North Korean military from what I've been researching is more like a badly out of tune orchestra playing a Beethoven sonata and a rickety old piano.
