... 8,000 artillery pieces,..
Thousands of those artillery pieces are in easy Range of Seoul, just north of the border. Preemptively firing south would be devastating. The city wouldn’t know what hit them.
But, is the little fat kid really wanting to give up his dictatorship and the accompanying billionaire lifestyle?
I doubt it.
DJT wouldn’t engage unless we could knock or lase down crosswise from either side the barrage NK would send. It’s a narrow peninsula, and all NK can do is shoot south, and we have the firepower to stop it all.
Kims army is very weak....he can’t even feed them so there wouldn’t be a ground war much to speak of .......and Kim knows it....I figure those most loyal to Kim would just take their own life because some deal will be made to slip Kim out of the country. ..he’s a coward period.
“But, is the little fat kid really wanting to give up his dictatorship and the accompanying billionaire lifestyle?”
That’s the bottom line, in my opinion. It’s hard to imagine how the nork problem ever gets solved. Everyone in power would rightly be tried and executed if regime change somehow happened, so they won’t ever go down without a fight either. They saw how the creep of social change eventually wrecked the leadership order of other communistic hell holes, so I don’t think we will be able to McDonalds them to death either.

We have tactical nukes for a reason and big nukes also.
