The first Korean War hasn’t ended. Who writes this crap?
So I looked at photos and videos of NK recently. One thing that struck me is how many times I saw military who looked gaunt. Few years back I saw pics of Kim visiting some site with what looked like computers or screens of some type that looked as if they were made in the 1950s. I have no doubt he can kill a lot of our troops & South Koreans & Japanese, but wonder if he can do anything even in 4-8 years to the US mainland.
I read the estimate cost of a US invasion of the Norks would be 250,000 US military casualties plus at least $1 trillion
“war plan for conflict on the Korean Peninsula purportedly calls for immediate but proportionate retaliation”
Porportionate? It should be overwhelming!
One sentence:
Much worse than the first korean war.
North Korea likely lacks the fuel to make a mechanized thrust down the 2 approaches to Seoul mentioned in the article. Back when Clinton was busy supplying a nuke reactor and diesel fuel to the Pyongyang regime in an effort to buy them off I had read a similar article that stated as much. That article posited a ‘leg’ infantry attack to seize territory in the rugged eastern end of the peninsula. They also assumed a large role for NK’s Special Operations units behind the lines.
So it all depends... Did the NK’s manage to preserve a war stockpile of Clinton’s fuel?
In my opinion, Commie diplomat trying to pretend to do military analysis to scare people and protect Lil Kim; utter BS. Yes, damage to Seoul is pretty much unavoidable due to prepositioned artillery, but acting like we don’t know their potential CoAs and won’t take down their C2, log and infrastructure immediately, start hitting HVTs hard, control the airspace /infiltration routes/ Western Corridor, and be able to mass fires anywhere in the battlespace they try to organize forces is living in commie fantasy land. We were ready for this tenfold when I was there decades ago, and since then ROKA has gotten much stronger while they have grown much weaker.
How did I come under the impression the US is technically still at was with Korea?
Good ting Truman canned MacArthur otherwise we wouldn’t be having all this fun

This couldn’t be the second Korean War because the first one hasn’t yet ended. There was never any surrender or peace treaty, only a cease fire. There’s just been a 64-year lull in the hostilities.
N Korea will finally get to glow at night.
Would not be necessary to speculate if Truman had not fired Macarthur!
