I don't think their indoctrination, mentality, habits of thinking would remotely tolerate beginning to comprehend "futile."

They have lived futile for decades and not comprehended it.

Do YOU believe we have the CAPACITY to devastate NK's military and control machinery in one unannounced full scale strike on all their critical elements?

Otherwise, it seems to me, SK is toast.

Negative on that. The ROK Army is comprised of some really high speed troops. They would not run like their predecessors in the first go round. What to look for if the NKs are serious: unexplained explosions in and around electical plants and telecommunication centers.
