seems to me that one nuclear sub with 36 warheads could finish off North Korean in an hour...why waste American soldier’s lives against this totally corrupt regime and it’s crackpot leader...where’s Team America when you need ‘em.
There is a problem here -
North Korea is not just a nasty dictator and his friends, it is also @20 million mostly innocent people. Call it @ 500,000 genuine enemies and 21 million hostages (1 million being the South Koreans and Japanese the NK’s could realistically threaten to kill).
If it came to such a war, and there was no MAD-style nuclear risk a la the old Soviets, ALL means must be tried before nuclear attacks, even if it risks high casualties to US and South Korean forces.
