I think the perfect way to explain that difference is to drop a MOAB or two on every installation that even looks like it is being used to launch missiles or produce warheads of any kind-that might just get their attention, and would limit the damage they could do to South Korea anytime soon-and it would be a hell of a treat for the pilots who delivered those educational aids-an added bonus...
I just checked and, according to Wikipedia we only built 15 MOABs. I don’t know if we still have the “Daisy Cutters” of the Vietnam years. But I honestly believe that we can get the job done without going nuclear.
We don’t have many MOAB’s and C-130’s are the delivery system for them. C-130’s wouldn’t get very far.
This gets complicated in a way, in that, if military action is taken, and we resume the Korean War, then what?
We know that militarily, we can win such a war easily. But, for example, is South Korea ready to accept millions of refugees from North Korea, if war breaks out?
Is South Korea ready to unify and absorb North Korea, similar to how the two Germanys merged together?
There could be lots of fallout(pardon the pun as we speak of nukes in North Korea), lots of fallout if we and South Korea end up invading and occupying North Korea.
Sounds good but..... the missiles are mobile and are not necessarily gathered into one pile.
