If the Urchin feels he's backed into a life or death situation he'll take as many with him as possible. Hitler had a similar mentality. In his mindset Germany would be destroyed completely before he would surrender.

Urchin appears to have the same mindset.

This will be a very expensive conflict in terms of human life.

Assuming Russia and China don't supply NK this conflict will take time and a lot of casualties. NK territory is not favorable to the type of warfare the US likes to fight. We like clear targets where we can bring massive firepower to bear.

We don't like grueling infantry type combat which is what this will become. We didn't like it in WWII or the Korean War.

The NK people have been conditioned over 60+ yrs to hate SK and the US. That's gonna be difficult to overcome. Think Japan in WWII.

I have no doubt our military can win the combat phase of this...my question is can our politics handle this?

I think we all know the dims and rinos will jump all over Trump and call for impeachment at the first problem if we fight.

Dims threatened to impeach Bush 41 if Desert Storm didn't go well. NK, if they're smart, will play the liberal media against our efforts.

This won't be a slam bam thank you ma'am event. It's gonna take time and resolve.

However, the converse is opposite. South Koreans Christians have heaped up decades of prayer for their NK kins people. They speak the same language, share the same heritage from the prior generations. When the time comes, the South Koreans will be the missionaries of peace and plenty for those in the North.

I was once in an intense prayer session for those around the world. When I got to the point of praying for North Korea, it was like my spirit moved to another place, and suddenly I realized my feeble prayers were nothing compared to the millions of prayers daily being uttered in Korean by Koreans for Koreans in North Korea. Those prayers are being stored up in heaven. I expect with the leadership we are seeing this very week, the sudden moment we have been waiting for since Truman and MacArthur first had their standoff will have its break through.

Our recent prayer history, as a nation has its roots in Bill Clinton and Barack Obama times in office.

Our prayers brought us the ultimate wild-card - DJT.

We are still just in the first 100 days. American History, like never before, is being written right before our eyes.

The prayers for the North Koreans will be answered in a biblical fashion. However it happens, we will not see it coming. The NORKs will not see it coming.

We no longer have slow news days,

Our history is being recorded at the Speed of Trump.

You left out a most important calculation; one that is paramount in my opinion.

The ROK military. They’re the ones who will do most of the ground-pounding; not the US Army and Marines.

They can and WILL fight, and fight hard.

They also have the advantage of our technology improvements—and their own, 4 million reserve troops, and the will and courage to defend their own homeland, especially with their backs against the wall and their capital in the crosshairs.

During Vietnam the ROK army were some of the best troops on Earth.

Now they are also high-tech.

They are being left out of all this talk, and that makes me curious as to what is going on with them. If they publically mobilize their huge reserves, expect all Hell to break out.
