The number I gave is from a friend in our military in the know. I didn’t make it up.

I wonder what my old Pops, who fought in Korea, would say about this current situation.

Gonna be tough on the strike groups. Going in to secure 100 - 200 nuclear warheads with only gas masks for protective gear.

yes but....... does he have a functioning up to the task.

I believe the military has degenerated to 1950 levels and lacks the capacity to endure in real war.

Start stockpiling MOABs all along the DMZ and build up an entire fleet A10s.

Good to know, but I would wait until the weather clears before attacking the Norks.

I used to drink two pots a day.

I used to fill up two hospital 64-ounce water mugs with coffee every day.

Then one day I felt all anxious, like I wanted to claw my way out of my body and explode into the heavens.

I finally understood (after a few of these anxiety-episodes) that it was the coffee.

I slowed way down. 3 cups or so.

“Does NJ have the kind of radar that will no well ahead of time that we are coming?”

If the norks attack us with nukes, hopefully NJ is the first to go. Just leave 440/287 intact so we can get to Nathans.

How many more colorful euphemisms will they come up with? Fire and fury was pretty good.

i dont remember drinking :)

I meant NK and not “no”, “know”

How embarrassing.

And I can’t share your enthusiasm with the nuking of NJ as my three sisters live in Southern NJ. Maybe they can strike the northern part..

But believe me, if it wasn’t for them...

“I suspect the Warthogs and the bunker buster bombs
will be used not unsparingly.”

And I suspect that you worded that sentence improperly. The way it is worded, the negation “not unsparingly” necessarily results in “sparingly” (a double negation is a positive). So, the way it is written is such that “...the Warthogs and the bunker buster bombs will be used sparingly.”

Just saying.

If Trump launches the attack, without totally withdrawing US military dependents, non-essentials, civilian DOD, and all US civilian nationals (tourists/residents, numbering in the tens of thousands) in the ROK—in addition to letting tens of thousands of Japanese out of there, he will be a •••one term president••• and he knows it. As of yet, no evacuations, not a soul. Therefore, IMHO we are not anywhere near actual hostilities, if planned—that’s not to say accidental or miscalculation. That changes overnight once they give the order, for it will be then truly “on”. I see a lot of talk but not much action.
