You do know that Russia shares a border with North Korea, too; right? I mean, it’s only a few miles wide, but it’s a border nonetheless.
The first strike should be an EMP to take out the electronics to run the military's "eyes." That way a response into South Korea would have to be done blind. Not easy. North Korea's arsenal to retaliate by hitting South Korea is their new ICBM missiles, 240mm rocket launchers and long range artillery. Forget about a missile response. Their guidance systems would be fried by EMP.
If their artillery is guided by electronic fire control, all their artillary would be toast too. Their artillery is on mobile platforms which can be rendered useless by EMP if their motors use electronic engine control units (ECU). They would be toast. And their artillary with sufficient range to hit Seoul are ONLY the M-1978s (modified to the M-1980). These have a slow firing rate at one round every five minutes. I am sure it takes electronic recalibration to recover the M-1980 from the previous shot. They would be rendered totally useless. Just in case North Korea had some quick fix to restore the electronics, just move the population beyond range while S. Korean and American forces are busy taking out everything above ground and under.
While Kim Jung-un goes down into his spider hole in some deep bunker, S. Korea would launch their F-15K Slam Eagle fighters carrying GBU-28 bunker-busting bombs with a payload of 5,000 lbs with pinpoint accuracy. He would be toast. I am sure House Chief of Staff, General John F. Kelly, has inspired President Trump's fire and fury!
[Liberal heads exploding all across the fruited plains.]
They’re keeping their Fake News and Lies while the world faces REAL threats.
Yes and that makes it easier to collaborate. The Russian territory near that common border is lightly populated/ industrialized unlike the Chinese who have some major industry. The refugees would be more likely a burden to China than Russia by the past history of Chinese relations with NK.
Liberals are completely oblivious to reality.
That’s why they loves them some Lyin’ Obama.
Kim must think that Obozo is still prez.
Just keep talking bowl head, keep talking.
The fat fool needs Excedrin headache number three five seven before he gets a bunch of people killed.
Vladivostok is not that far from the border with North Korea, and it is both populated and industrialized, as well as having port access. Vladivostok is a strategic city. During the Cold War, it was a first-class target.
Guarantee we’re not ruling out China and their involvement in this. They have not reined in Lil Kim one bit.
This is a much more serious situation than most average Americans think.
Regardless of what might happen to our country, my heart breaks for our allies, South Korea, who would face an unimaginable loss of life.
By the way, I recently learned that the leader of North Korea, whoever it might be, is considered by the people to be deity, that is, God.
My theory is that the Chinese have a lot of plants in the North Korean government who would act if it looked like things were about to get out of hand.
China sure as Hell doesn’t want to die on this hill.
[This is a much more serious situation than most average Americans think.]
I think so, too.
A dictator, from a long line of dictators, surrounded by yes men. Yes men that have to be yes men lest they get shot to death.
There’s some real danger of Fat Boy thinking he’s got the upper hand in a scenario or two. And taking actions on that misbelief.
[We DID cross the 38th parallel and we DID drive the Norks north (those that survived) to the Yalu River,]
But we didn’t nuke them into the freakin’ Stone Age. Say it! Say it!
Still less critical than the Chinese areas and it will only able to take a relatively small group of refugees. Compare this temporary expansion of the population with the benefit of an America collapsed in on itself in a civil war. Now fat boy wants to nuke Guam. He is fixated on us.
Agree 100% with this approach, keeping in mind it’s just the approach, not the finale.
[Feel free to aim for san Francisco /s]
Hey! That could put Nancy Pelosi at risk!
Oh, wait....
Air superiority and armor mobility would have rolled the USSR out of Eastern Europe.
Except that the Russian tanks were far better than the Shermans and the Russians had plenty of aircraft as well.
Most bleeding heart liberals are so sick in their souls, they'd rather it be us, than the North Koreans.
