The Seoul government has developed a plan to obliterate the North Korean capital, according to a media report. South Korea said it would destroy all parts of the city should there be an impending nuclear threat.
The South Korean Yonhap news agency Sunday said that in the event of a likely attack from the North, Seoul was prepared to use intensive bombing to wipe the North Korean capital, Pyongyang, from the map.
"Every Pyongyang district, particularly where the North Korean leadership is possibly hidden, will be completely destroyed by ballistic missiles and high-explosive shells as soon as the North shows any signs of using a nuclear weapon. In other words, the North's capital city will be reduced to ashes and removed from the map," said the Yonhap source.
Information on the detailed bombing operation emerged after the South's Defense Ministry published the "Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation" (KMPR) plan to the country's national assembly. The operation would particularly target leader Kim Jong Un and members of the upper echelons of government.
'Guardian angel'
While the South has no nuclear weapons of its own, it threatened to optimize the use of its conventional weapon arsenal. "The KMPR is the utmost operation concept the military can have in the absence of its own nuclear weapons," the source noted.
The South has developed a scenario in which it would mobilize its Hyanmoo ("guardian angel of the northern skies") surface-to-surface ballistic missile arsenal. The missiles, which are to be further developed and tested next year, have ranges of up to 1,000 kilometers (621 miles).
North scoffs at sanctions threat
A separate source told Yonhap that the military had launched a special operational unit dedicated to destroying the North Korean military leadership.
North Korea said on Sunday that an effort in the UN to ratchet up sanctions after its fifth and biggest nuclear test was "laughable."
The North on Friday detonated its most powerful nuclear explosion to date, saying it had developed the expertise to equip a ballistic missile with a warhead.
North Korea on Sunday restated an earlier demand that it should be recognized as a nuclear state, singling out US President Barack Obama in particular for criticism. The North says both missile and nuclear tests are necessary for it to address a US nuclear threat to its independence.
"Obama is trying hard to deny the DPRK's strategic position as a legitimate nuclear weapons state but it is as foolish an act as trying to eclipse the sun with a palm," said a Foreign Ministry statement quoted by the official KCNA news agency.
Probably so, but now the South Koreans are actually talking about it. It’s a real in-your-face to the little blustering monster.
ROK will need to eliminate the fatty on top in North Korea. And have a replacement in position to take over immediately to order a prompt stand-down of their military.
Will they be using a fat boy against the fat boy?
There was a little gook kid who had really, really, been pestering some ROKS. I don’t know what ever happened, but I guarantee the kid never spoke to anyone again.
With the way the Fat Boy has been so monstrously mean, the Norkies may almost all welcome a replacement regime. All he has to do is promise not to shoot anybody who doesn’t try to shoot it down. The wave of gratitude would be irrepressible.
“The wave of gratitude would be irrepressible.”
Most Americans underestimate the lunacy of NORK beliefs. I would be very surprised if they were initially glad to be liberated.
And just a reminder. One of Obama’s first actions as CIC was to eliminate the missile shield promised to our allies. .
As many underestimate the followers of islam. Both have been immersed in a culture of lies for generations.
Yeah, they were mean. These guys were in an artillery outfit.
Did you forget about China???
You think they are going to tolerate South Korea doing that or the U.S. aiding them right on their border?
“Successful escapees did a great job of faking it all these years.”
A self-selected sample. Not representative.
China and South Korea are a lot closer in the modern era than most people know. It’s not 1950.
“True, but we don’t have a group of randomly liberated NORKs to use as a control, that why I said “how can we tell?” and used the escapees as a counterexample.”
Most of my information comes from talking with ROK military. I think they have a pretty good bead on things.
China is already pissed at us in case you have not noticed.
Do you really think China would like us starting a war next door to them?
The Chinese know the difference between the South Koreans and us.
Yes but we are allies with South Korea. The last time we had a hot war in Korea the Chinese came into Korea.
China will defend North Korea. I guess they view them as some sort of buffer between the U.S. and them?
They have a hell of a lot more to lose in 2016 than they did in 1950.
