Here’s what I posted on Sandrat’s thread:
So let’s say this is all a ruse, on the part of Chia Head, and we’re falling for it. I predicted to some friends the other day that the Norks would send out a suspicious boat (ala Gulf of Tonkin) that will serve as a causus belli, and sure enough they did. A worst case scenario-—NK lets fly a missile, purportedly headed in the direction of Hawaii, but it explodes 100 miles up over the Sea of Japan. Ha ha, right? But this time it’s a nuke that explodes, and sends an EMP that knocks out all of the electrical grids and electronics of Japan and South Korea, not to mention our US military . Meanwhile the Norks themselves are hiding out in their tunnels, and what little gadgetry they do have exposed is vacuum tube crap from the sixties that’s largely impervious to EMP insult.
They simultaneously loft a missile in the direction of Diego Garcia, with the same result. Then they come storming out of their tunnels and march on Seoul.
Thats one way and appreciate your post. But since NK has one of the largest standing armies in the world it seems they could just take Seoul with a conventional attack if they really wanted to. Its not like they worry about things like casualties.
Just throw a few steaks on the ground and they'll be too busy fighting over them to offer any resistance.
