When was the last war that was won by air power alone? Answer NONE. Germany was defeated when over run by two armies. Korea was not, in fact the war is not over, just a stalemate. Vietnam, how many thousands of tons of bombs did we drop? Did we win. Iraq, airpower softened them up but the war was “won” on the ground.
We do not have a large enough army now, nor the means to get one to Korea quick enough to “win” a war with the NORKS and presumably with the Reds without use of nukes. Once that balloon goes up, its over IMO.
My advice, starve the bastard out with a blockade and financial means and shoot down anything he launches.

Most bombs dropped in Vietnam were "unguided and dumb bombs" meaning without guidance all the way to the target. These days, a B1 bomber could drop 50 pre-programmed bombs at one time and each one of those bombs would have a distinct GPS coordinate as a target. The accuracy of these bombs are within a few feet. These are Joint Direct Attack Munition or JDAMs. I used for example GBU-30s, which are 500 pound general purpose bombs with a strap on GPS units that moves fins to fly to the target with dead on accuracy. They are cheap and we got plenty in the US munitions inventory.
