Note that the 2018 Winter Olympics are scheduled in a few months just MILES from the DMZ in South Korea.
Uh, your post is so retarded, it would be a disservice not to suggest you seek a better education...
Souel is downwind of the DMZ
A wall of nuclear detonations that would wipe out Seoul?
Please tell me more about clean nukes.
Nor is he an Obama-Mess masquerading as president.
He has shown that he will quickly use force.
Ask the survivors of that recent ISIS convoy from Lebanon.
Ask the Syrians at the Syrian Airbase bombed by Trump after a Chemical Weapons attack.
The article claims that the NSA team has marching orders in place.
You mean like with a cloth
The basis is using material that is not fissionable.
No, Hillary. LOL
We were muted in 2001 because it took us a while to figure out what had happened and where to strike. Even now, we are not 100% certain we responded to the right target.
As to the flights over Japan, you are right. But since then the nuclear portion of his arsenal has improved and become weaponized. Also, as I remember, these flights were over Japanese “territory” that is uninhabited. Nonetheless, your point is well taken. I just think things have progressed to the point that our nuclear response is ready and waiting on a light trigger pull.
Far enough North might be 20 miles North of the DMZ.
The boomer sub would launch all 16 missiles 30 seconds after the bomb hit LA (or Pearl Harbor or San Diego). The second strike would be worse than the first. BUT I think—Kim will set us up, hit his own people and say it was the USA before launching—That way he could get Russia and China on his side. He’s no fool. Go to the UN as be blows South Korea off the map.
I have no idea where the autocorrect or spellcheck came up with the word “muted” in my response above. Skip it and put in any appropriate word that you can think of. LOL
But there is such a thing as a clean bomb.
If we respond to North Korea, North Korea might fire 20,000 artillery pieces at Seoul, South Korea.
Estimates are 1 million dead from that.
There has to be a plan in place to take out 20,000 artillery pieces before 1 million people (in South Korea) are killed.
But again, I may posting rubbish -- it is an area I have no expertize. And going to GlobalSecurity.Org would take too much time.
Apologies if this sounds like a bunch of HOGWASH.
We would have to react sighing a few minutes to shoot down an oncoming missile but our boomer subs were designed to be a dead hand strike.
Are the folks in HK scared?

Sorry, but your post was just asking for it. No cruelty intended. Peace.
I doubt We respond with anything nuclear unless he succeeds in hitting launching and detonating a nuke over us or one of our partners. Otherwise, Our response will be something on the order what happened to Baghdad after 911, but without any wait for UN resolutions. It will be massive but conventional. And South Korea will definitely have casualties because we have no silver bullet for the artillary problem. It will take days to weeks to neutralize 10000 dug in artillary positions, unless they just up and surrender after we take out Kim.
Here is the deal. If Trump chooses to retaliate, vs. a test launch by attacking NK you can expect China to intervene expansively. And you can expect Russia to intervene covertly. Between the two of them there will be a lot of fire power and a lot of soldiers. Then there is NK which will fire everything they have at Seoul. We can easily defeat NK, but we cannot easily defeat China, Russia and NK. And that is what we are up against.
I like Trumps idea of arming Japan and SK to the hilt. Let China deal with that.
Yes, they know where I live.
People in HK are like Canadians. They don’t think anything will ever happen to them.
