It will take two weeks for the government to evacuate Seoul.
and then again it may not
Very unlikely.
We can takeout their launch complexes.can do, GI
Good Lord! Three Carrier Battle Groups is an awesome force. But unless they are going to use nuclear weapons they can only conduct air strikes and blockade operations. Those don't win wars. They only make winning possible.
Look for the Amphibious Ready Groups and the heavy punch of the Army's amphibious forces. That will indicate the extent of our intentions.
If the NKoreans believe this, might they attack us first?
Are we going to hold them to their word, when, in two weeks, the USA doesn’t attack NK? Ask them why they are lying to create a panic to sell papers? Irresponsible, as all journalism.
Just what is John Mauldin’s military expertise so that we can have some notion of how much confidence to give his prediction of a full scale (including nuclear) military war within two weeks?
There are no U.S. Generals or Admirals who believe NK can be stopped before inflicting significant casualties on SK.
The border is 160 miles of highly militarized artillery and rockets, stacked dozens deep and well protected.
We can’t drop bombs fast enough to stop the North from killing hundreds of thousands of allies, including our own troops.
Did I mention they’re too close for the nuclear option?
Or not.
Ergo, with this massive naval presence, it is highly likely Mattis and Trump will take action soon.
I am surprised that there hasn't been a major stock market sell-off in anticipation of this event.
Russian adventurism. An ailing EU. Devastation in the Middle East. These are just three symptoms of a systemic instability engulfing a region that’s home to 5 billion of the planet’s 7 billion people.................

Fine, as long as it’s to put a swift and permanent end to Kim’s foolishness. Otherwise, it’s nothing but a waste of US lives and money just like we’ve had going on in the ME for decades.
Only if you care about the vanquished after the shooting stops.
Then ask the next up "Leader," if he'd prefer peace to being next?
A 3rd carrier group with bombers & fighters at hand does not mean war. Further, if so, it will not be a quick war. It will be a very bloody war that could spill over into Japan if the NK air (including rocket) and naval forces get lucky.
I think it’s a combination of Trump being a chess player and something going on behind the scenes not made apparent by the media. We are so used to a government and media that shares any and all secrets.
This article is nothing more than a prediction that will go by the wayside as 99.9% of all predictions do.
Don’t believe it.
Not unless we are attacked first.
We have 6 of 10 aircraft carriers at sea. They've got to be deployed somewhere, so yes, we're pushing a lot of firepower into the neighborhood. Why? Letting NK know there is rhetoric and then there is real capability. Maybe President Trump wants options. Maybe he's thinking about calling NK's bluff. If we were really planning something, I think there'd be other, additional indications.
Nope, no attack. The new South Korean president is an appeaser. He would ask the US to leave before risking war.
