I thought McTurd loves wars. Drop him on Pyongyang.
I’m certainly not a military planner but they would have to have a fully loaded plane to take out every single one of the artillery areas - one plane for each one - and wipe them all out immediately to protect Seoul, and have some ready to take out any areas where artillery fire is coming from that was previously not detected prior to any conflict beginning. That would be quite an undertaking but one that would be necessary. Seoul being so close to the border is a major obstacle.
It should be easy enough, just bring in a 50 million chocolate bars, twinkies, and little donuts, and drop them in the countryside. All those nukes would be unguarded.
Now how the hell did that happen?
Did they just find out, two weeks ago, that North Korea was located there, and a murderous threat as well?
Simple fact: China is the key. If China wants the norks to fold, they will; if not, they wont. To avoid war, pressure must be applied to China.
The general didn't hesitate a second. He answered: "we plan to handle the enemy's underground facilities by dropping five hundred pound bombs on the entrances to those facilities until they are buried under hundreds of feet of rubble."
The reporterette did not have a follow-up question.
The Idea is to evaluate their move and strike first! Thus destroying their ability to strike a decisive toll!
Rods from God ? Nuke them from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure? Catch phrases for armchair generals, but the reality is the cost will be grim for any military action to be taken against North Korea. The correct question though is what will the cost be due to American and allies inaction?
Nobody is going to “invade” North Korea. It is an idiot’s play tool concept, nothing less, nothing more.
NK guns are located clear across the DMZ and you can’t see them at Panmeujon (I looked). They would have to be taken out by MOABS and even small nukes to get them all.
However, I question whether plain artillery could reach Seoul at 35 miles. Maybe the more advance guided munitions. Definitely rockets. Doubt the communists 122mm shells could do it nor the 130mm arty (need to get up to date on these).
As for a NK ground invasion drive on to Seoul. Obviously some of these idiots haven’t driven the main roads from Seoul to the DMZ and back. Lots of places for ambushes, mines, blown up stuff (roads, bridges, culverts, etc).
Just ask the No. Vietnamese what price they paid when the got bottled up at Xuan Loc and stopped cold at An Loc.
Also, SK has good counter-artillery weapons, rockets, and planes too. Plus what the US forces have.
No, No. Korea won’t invade SK unless it is for a limited distance to make a point at great cost to them (like Sadat did in the Yom Kippur War).
More likely NK will start something small at sea, taking out a SK destroyer escort like they did the last time.
A lot of armchair politicians and journalists are going to look like fools if there is no invasion, either way. But then, again, they are politicians and journalists so being a fool is a normal state of affairs for both. (I’m a recovering journalist = SVN, Cambodia, Congress, protests, etc). Really has a way of biting you in the ass when you make an ass (and sound like an ass) out of yourself.
Looks like the AP wants to “infect’ this nation with the stuff they spew .....
...and waiting several more years until NK gets hundreds of nukes and perfects it’s rockets, plus gets more time to dig in more deeply, would make the situation so much better.
I've heard this reported years ago. And that they are bio and chemical weapons.
If only we could get China to peacefully overthrow Kim Dum Son and install their own puppet government.
