In my opinion, yes.
Real life isn’t like the movies.
The selective take down of only certain officials would a suicide mission.
And such a strike would NOT be like taking out Bin Laden. The Pakis new when we went in, what we were doing, but didn’t try to stop us. The NORKS will, with everything they have.
A nuclear strike is the only one we can do right now that would take them out. Everything else would be a long war.
I think the best option is to just grab him physically along with what ever leadership is around him at the time. then instruct who ever takes over that there options are limited they can get rid of the weapons or they will be eliminated from the equation. then wait and see what the new leadership does. repeat this tell we get the desired effect.
I’m thinking the same thing: That the threat to RoK is overrated in the face of a determined American attack.
Actually, I think NorK and China’s worst nightmare is the unleashing of a FULLY remilitarized Japan.
Someday, perhaps soon, both Japan and Germany will awaken from collective amnesia and remember who they are ...
China and Japan hate each other.
These new sanctions are going to bite HARD.......there’s more than just FatBoy running the show there. His underlings are not going to be happy for long without their perks.
Unfortunately they don’t give a hoot about any of the people except those in the capitol...and they’re going to be hurting real soon......those are the ones who have to revolt against Fat Boy....the rural people they will just let die as they did in the 90’s.
The massive loss of life an artillery attack across the DMZ has been the North’s hole card pretty much since the suspension of hostilities. Fat Boy wants an equivalent threat to Japan and America—America particularly. He won’t stop until he has a believable nuclear threat. He’s perceived that not having the nukes aimed at the Continental US will detract from his prestige and power at home. There is no solution other than yours. However it’s really, really dangerous.
we have spent decades kicking the can down the road on NK and soon we will be the can.
Let’s publish the schedule and plans while we’re at it.
Japan SK and the US hot the artillery along the border, the test and launch sites and someone try to stop a drone rocket in his lap. All at the same time.
maybe days.
The flyboys had a great time that day. It’s not everyday you get to really bomb the s**t out of stuff for 10 hours. They live for a chance like that.
Only a very few can make the jump to the correct conclusion you have stated.
It is possible. it might even be probable.
South Korean special operations are much liked and are the protagonists in a very popular TV program
Agree, that’s what we should have done when we found Saddam in a hole. grab him and leave instructions for the new fool.
I can’t imagine China getting involved if we start something first. They’ve got too much to lose. They will probably agree to clean up the mess. Sorks don’t want the north.
We no longer have A6 aircraft or cluster bombs.
Shoot food over the border.
Exactly. We will see a full blockade before this is over. Either the norks will capitulate or lash out. First sign of lashing out will start a kinetic conflict. Norks will lose within a couple of weeks.
Remember the first Iraq War? The mother of all battles as Saddam called it and he kept talking tough like Kim Jong. We attacked and all the soldiers quit.
Yep...we haven’t exhausted all our non-military means as yet that will put a nasty hurt on old Fat Boy and his gang....not to mention China.
It’s already a 90% commerce sanction.....which is just beginning to sink it’s teeth in....and they’re not happy campers!
Fat Boy would love someone to take out his missles ‘In flight”....Few recognize that S. Korea fired their’s off “WHILE” Kims was STILL IN FLIGHT......which was showing Fat Boy don’t think we can’t do this!
