Hate to argue with a colonel, but if you are going to do a move of that nature, I don't think you want to alert them first by doing an evacuation.
- I would target air defense and missle sites simultaneously. You don't want them to get a missle off period.
- Once you have the missle sites disabled, then you take out the rest of their air force, followed by their navy.
- Then you pound any site that glows in the dark back to creation day.
- Then you effect regime change.
- Then you restrict the movement and access to computers of any personnel remotely involved with nuclear for the rest of their lives, so that they can neither do it again, or help others like Iran.
- Then just in case Iran missed it, you point out what happens if you get to close to becoming a real nuclear threat.

First I’d heard any speculation of Wake Island being used as a “staging area” for US Aircraft. Saipan, yes. But Wake?

A dozen B-1Bs carrying 50+ CBU-87 per sortie, 3 sorties per day will solve the artillery problem.
They will take out the vast majority in 24hrs.
Besides, the CORE OBJECTIVE here is to protect US existential interests.
Not Seoul. Seoul and Tokyo are high priority, but secondary concerns.
By yielding to SKorean fear of the north for 60 years we have allowed a direct threat to the US mainland to emerge.

Better their millions than our millions.
Have you forgotten the principal lesson of WWII? If you do not kill them, they will kill you and yours.

Understood. But they don’t have anything other than a one shot chance at a best scenario result. All the shell and rocket artillery will be raining down until it is stopped or preempted to begin with. If it is not preempted, the losses will be massive but like you said, they lulled themselves into the idea a peaceful reunification could be attained propagated by the communist left. It will get to a never again scenario once the dust settles no matter which artillery termination scenario results.

Forget about a war and the death of millions. Put a decent reward on his head and someone within North Korea will eliminate the little dictator. We can only hope that the next leader is more willing to accept peace and work towards improving the living conditions of North Koreans as a whole.

Seriously, just pack up and leave right before starting a war that is going to get millions of South Koreans killed? And this guy was a general? He was not talking about the military leaving - only the families of the military and non-military personnel. Seems reasonable to me as a first step. I still think we need to show them we can shoot down their missiles. Every time they launch a missile - we shoot it down.
To: TroutGuy
So you’re ok with Seoul being obliterated by artillery, and the hundreds of thousands of dead South Koreans that will be the inevitable result?
Any decent strike plan will include the destruction of NK artillery on the DMZ. The problem with that is we don’t know where every single gun position is. There are no easy answers here. Many of the good guys will die to include civilians no matter what we do.

The major military impediments to the South Korean Army marching to the Yalu are that the roads in North Korea would be clogged by civilian refugees trying to get the hell out of North Korea, and ROKA logistics capabilities in the many mountains where all the bridges would be down. Isn't the DMZ kind of an impediment to the South Korean Army marching anywhere? It's wide. It's riddled with land mines. Razor wire topped fences and guard shacks completely block the north from the south. North Koreans who want to go to South Korea have to escape through China.

This Peters clown hates President Trump and endorsed the Hildebeast. Eff him.
Exactly! Ever since he let the cat outta the bag, it appear Fox doesn’t have him on as much. In fact, I haven’t seen him lately on air!

Seems reasonable to you because your family is not living in Seoul.
I still think we need to show them we can shoot down their missiles. Every time they launch a missile - we shoot it down.
What happens when lil Kimmy puts some nuclear waste - the really bad kind, like plutonium contaminated crap - in one of the missiles you're going to shoot down and aims towards the Sea of Japan, say 30 miles of the coast of our #1 Asian ally and you blow it out of the air? Great idea.
Crazy nutjobs come and go. Nuclear radiation lasts for generations...

North Korea is a small country and we have enough nukes to turn the entire place into a wasteland.
To: vooch
Nobody is advocating murder. Are we willing to do whatever it takes to free the world from the threat of North Koran nukes, or is Trump just bluffing and blustering like his predecessor?
