China invades NK and annexes the territory. What would the US and SK do?

[Grampa Dave]

The Chinese have increased their troops on the NK border by another 25,000.

[Duchess47]

Thank you Donald Trump.

[Parley Baer]

Must have been one hell of a conversation between President Trump and Xi. As has been said before it looks like in the least it is a psy-ops against the little man in North Korea.

[Responsibility2nd]

I told you so.

Not you personally Lady, but last week when Premier Xi was at Mara Lago and Trump bombed the hell out of that Syrian airport, I said then it was more for show than anything else.

It was designed to show Xi that Trump was ready, willing and able to move forcefully on the global stage against enemies of the world.

Apparently Xi was impressed and so here we are: A joint Chinese/US arrangement to take out that fat kid with a bad haircut.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are all those Nork guns, buried in underground bunkers, with a limited field of fire, and registered on targets in the RoK, are now pointed the wrong way?

At last count, that was 175,000 PLA troops on standby across the Yalu. Could be a little clumsy...

[Socon-Econ]

I’ll believe that China is going to get tough with its longstanding client when I see it. Hard to believe that China going to do us a favor by attacking a nuclear power that has not attacked it — what’s in it for them? Tariffs imposed by Trump on their exports to the USA?

[V K Lee]

When it was read this week China turned away NK boatload of coal, it was felt there were changes afoot.

The old Bob Wills song applies here “Big Balls in Cowtown”

America, DJT is MAGA

That must have been a helluva dinner.

[JoeProBono]

Chinese troops in the rear are not issued gloves but are instructed to don the gloves of the dead troop in front of them

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Looks like a Trump success.

[DNME]

Reunification would be a huge burden on SK but I’m sure they already have plans drawn up for just such a happy event. After all, it has been their national goal for longer than most of us have been around.

I would expect SK businesses to jump in first. There is a lot of cheap labor in the North just dying (literally) for rewarding work. Send in the farmers right behind them.

[LS]

BTW, Putin & Tillerson have met for 2 hours now.

Looks like 2020 is all sealed up. (It’s a joke, people).

[thorvaldr]

This is an interesting scenario:

So if we coordinated with China, and hit North Korea hard, like buff strikes and a push across the DMZ hard. Then the PLA can invade and play the “glorious comrades protecting their brothers against the imperialists” card and instantly fill the power vacuum we created.

The PLA would get huge propaganda boost.
China would get land and a population that can be made productive if run by someone who is not a maniac.
The rest of the region gets Kim Jong Un not bothering them anymore.
Trump get’s another don’t screw with the US lesson to stupid little dictators.
The only one left out is the ROK. Their long game seems to be waiting till the Norks implode, and they would rather have that territory for themselves and China across the Yalu instead of across the DMZ.

[drypowder]

Maybe it's time the NK Military Generals take out Kim Jong Ugly before he takes out more of his own generals

Steve Herman‏Verified account @W7VOA 24 minutes ago Some foreign reporters visiting #DPRK have been told their Thursday schedule is canceled and to meet early ahead of a big event.

[sargon]

Great to see China taking the lead here. The meeting with President Trump seems to have been productive...
