The last thing Fat Boi sees before his eyeballs melt
"Wait! What that bright flash?"
What would be left of South Korea being as how their bases are right near the border?
Glass parking lot...??
Which means he is sandbagging. North Korea will be done with, in 4 minutes.
Of course.
Can anyone answer a question for me about the Ohio class subs we converted into SSGNs?
I know they’re basically Tomahawk factories now but under the IRBM treaty that eliminated nuclear warheads on them are sub launched IRBMs included?
I would think that the flight time of Tomahawks from international waters to most of the NORKS cities would be about... 15 minutes.
I figured about 30 minutes to annihilation but 15 works for me.
North Korea is approximately the size of Ohio.
My wife will be very upset if she is not able to watch her favorite K-Dramas.
This man needs to be fired now.
That has to be one of the most absurd statements I have every heard and any military officer making such needs to go look for job in the fast food industry.
The difference power between the US and North Korea is stark, yes, but the ability to project it limited.
Add to that stupid ideas like ‘nation building,’ idiotic ideas about rules of engagement, the fact that we still have a lot of Obama leftovers in the military, and that our enemy shares a border with PRC from wish all sorts of nasty surprises may come, and you will see just how stupid that statement is.
I really don’t want to commit this country and our service members to another fruitless, trillion dollar war.
can the us wipe out PRC in 15 minutes?
Everyone is getting whipped up by the media and Trump’s tweets, calm down. This hysteria is nonsense and downright dangerous.
Too many headline readers are completely ignorant of the NK capabilities. NK must be having a big laugh at all our headlines.
The most powerful NK missile, only in theory, could reach about Kansas City, with no payload bigger than a jar of kimchee.
They would have to have another missile stage added on to provide more fuel in boost.
Their best missiles so far are all “truck” launched. They don’t have a truck big enough for a bigger missile. If they did, a bigger heavier missile would get damaged joyriding around NK.
They would have to go to a silo launch with onsite liquid fueling. That’s what every other nuclear power does that wants nukes delivered.
NK has no silos, if they did we would know. Also, all of their orbital apogee missiles have burned up on re-entry, they don’t have adequate heat shields, yet.
Let’s all calm down.
Nuke North Korea and the nuclear fallout would devastate South Korea and Japan, or China and Russia depending on the winds. I don’t think those countries would be too happy about it.
The problem is the body count. What American President wants several million corpses of women and children on his record? Its a puzzlement.
I sure hope we’re sure NK doesn’t have a kill switch on our critical software systems via their relentless hacking. And how many NK’s INSIDE the U.S. waiting to go into action against us? PROBABLY ALL ALLOWED IN BY OBAMA DURING THE PAST 8 YEARS, like the Russian attorney and the AWANS, ISIS cells and MS-13 and God knows who else..
The way I see it, if the ROK and US engaged the Norks, the Norks would lose, of course. But PRC would intervene near the end of it and again, drive the US back to the 39th parallel, thereby giving the PRC a buffer, once again, from the US/ROK. The PRC hates the Norks like everyone else, but would never let a US ally right on the PRC border.
It could be done in less than a minute with stealth and smart mirvs.
There isn't much else up to the Yalu River:
