That’s a lot less than they’ll be able to kill in 2 years...
A preemptive strike on North Korea would make their small nuclear arsenal null combined with strikes on their control and command structure make them a dysfunctional in relationship to a counter strike. They have massive artillery that would need to be taken out. This can be done quickly and efficiently. To do this would require tactical and strategic weapons. Yes, I mean nuclear.
Russia nor China will go to war over North Korea. China can hurt us grievously but we can totally destroy China as a functioning nation. China can not destroy us. Russia can destroy us as we can destroy them.
That is just the way it is.
If China and Russia realize we are ready to cry havoc and let loose the dogs of war they both realize it is in their interest to restrain North Korea.
When Trump said, “this is the lull before the storm” he was not talking to North Korea. He was talking to China and Russia. In effect he was saying, “get little Kim under control before bad things happen for all of us.”
China and Russia have the ability to tell Kim what to do. Kim is their punk.
Kim went from small fission weapons to a 250 kiloton thermonuclear weapon in a very short period of time. This is not possible without help from China or Russia or perhaps Pakistan. China stole our most advanced designs of nuclear weapons during the Clinton administration. China assisted Pakistan in their nuclear weapons program.
China is the key to peace or war. If it is war it is better today than ten years down the road. I hope the road leads to peace.
ps
That crazy bastard Kim may sell thermonuclear weapons to Iran and they are bat crap crazy. He must be stopped now.
NK, do your worst, the SK, Japs, and the left coasters can take anything u can dish out.
