NK is the drunk with a double barreled shotgun demanding respect. You placate him as you can so he won’t shoot anyone, and he doesn’t shoot because he knows you’ll take him down with extreme prejudice if he does. Makes for a very awkward prolonged weird social interaction.

“In orbit” is stretching the limits of the term in this case.

There would be no meaningful invasion. Expect a half hour of heavy shelling obliterating most of Seoul, followed by carpet bombing just north of the border and conversion of Pyongyang into a sandbox.

I’ve heard of an Eastern-bloc escapee suffering a mental breakdown in a grocery store cereal aisle from being overcome by the vast quantity of types and brands available.

They are moving the Seoul garrison further south past Camp Humphries. They may have done so already. I was last over there in 2008.

We'll see your intercontinental ballistic sampans (ICBS) and raise you 1,000 real, and MIRVed, ICBMs.

Orbit enough to float an object over the US.

Good ole Camp Humphries. Spent a year there as an Air Force assigned to an Army base.

We have tactical nukes stored in SK which would be deployed by the F-16s.

OK, so they can put small objects into orbit.

Can they put big objects into orbit?

I believe the object they put up was the size of a small nuke.

Size or weight?

How much do their alleged nukes weigh?

hold on, I’ll have to check my notes from the last time they let me weigh the darn things.

Also, make sure you check on whether it’s “pounds” or “kilograms”.

Probably the latter.

Keep talking fatty. All those Aegis ships will shoot your crap down so fast you’ll be sweeping up fallout for weeks.

Unless our own commie leader wants to please the young ‘un’. Help the US become that very special third world country he's been hankerin’

No Obama and the media will say that the Aegis ships have to remain in drydock due to sequester. They’ll be replaced by a mothballed Gearing DD with quad 40 mm AA.
