Unfortunately with idiots in charge we're headed for WWIII...
more MASH reruns...
I think a very likely move by the north will be a nuclear attack vs Japan. Their goal would be to draw Japan into the war for propaganda purposes, also taking out military bases on Okinawa will be used as pretext..
I think destruction of Seoul is a bit overstated, South Korean Air force will sweep north korean out of the skies in a matter of hours, artillery and rockets bombarding the city will not last much longer. Biggest problems will be once South has to counter attack and take over North. Fanatical soldiers, huge numbers and very good terrain for defense is a bad combination.
Back to the Future:
Here are Tomorrow’s Headlines Today:
1. Obama orders transport ships from Hawaii to transport combat forces out of Korea.
2. Obama orders Hospital Ships to treat the wounded in Korea
3. Obama offers refugee status to all South Koreans
4. Obama orders construction of Korean Refugee Camps on the Alaskan Attu Island
5. Obama declares a Safety Air Corridor between Alaska and Korea
6. Obama declares a Air and Sea Safety Zone within 2500 Miles of Korea
7. Nobel Peace Prize Committee Awards Obama his second Nobel Peace Price for His Restraint in dealing with North Korea
8. Estimated Dead and Wounded in South Korea is estimated over 8M

10. Tokyo Announces the Expansion of their Military and Plans for the Development of Nuclear Weapons
11. Tokyo Cancels US Base Leases and Requests US Troops Leave within 3 Months.

I suspect that since we have had 50 years or so to solve the problems, that they have mostly been solved.
One scenario is that 10 seconds after the Ronery One says attack, he gets a bullet through the heart. His generals know the real score and it is not one that is hopeful for the North.
Hitchens’ comment on the poor people of North Korea is beneath contempt. It’s just another outlet for his arrogance, little different than his evil polemic about religious people. As decent human beings it is incumbent upon us to give aid and succor to the unfortunate victims of the insane viciousness of Kim Jong-il and Christopher Hitchens if we can. They need help, not malthusian condemnation.
North send barage into South, killing 1500 American troops.
Obama gets on TV and tells Kim he’s really disappointed and asks what we can send to the North so they don’t do it again.....
1)A few shots fired by each side.
2)An armistace signed in a week.
3)The "CHUMP-IN-CHIEF GIVES THE NORTH BILLIONS IN FOREIGN AID.
