Hope we have waaaay more on the scene than 1 carrier group and a cruise missile sub.
That isn’t even close to what would be needed to make quick work of the NORKS.
My biggest fears are an EMP over the US and nukes raining down on S. Korea and Japan.
Oh, and a NORK sub sinking a carrier or other warship.
This isn’t playing with some blowhard Arabs. This is serious.

I’ve been saying most of this for some time now. Just because the little dork looks like a fat Muppet doesn’t mean he should be underestimated. I doubt NK has the capability to EMP the US or do any serious nuking of anybody, unless they get major help from China and/or Russia. One carrier and one cruiser and sub aren’t going to stop a power-mad lunatic, but three MIGHT get his attention. The US and the world cannot afford a wimpy show of force, more sanctions nor a threat of military force backed up by limpid “rules of engagement”. We’re dealing with a maniac drunk on his own perceived power and invincibility, and frankly Kim really DOESN’T CARE what military might we try to shake in his face.

You’re reading too many comic books! There’s just no way we’re walking into anything we can’t handle as regards NK. The biggest problem we would have in any military engagement would be the requirement to massively destroy every piece of weaponry that the Norks have pointed at Seoul. If Seoul were out of range, this thing with NK would have been over already. We simply can’t do anything that would allow Kimmie to attack Seoul, at all!
