War? With North Korea? It would be like slapping a mosquito with a flyswatter the size of Texas Stadium...
and then starve to death trying to reload......you could get that whole country to revolt by offering free food for guns and ammo at the border
I keep changing my mind on this question. Logic says there is no way NK pushes us into a war, for so many reasons on so many levels. Plus it would be delusional for NK to believe they can win a war. And then I wake up and remember who is running their country, and think it probably is more a matter of when, not if, delusional fat boy pushes us too far.
I'm pretty sure that since the 1950s they've scouted and prepared quite a few gameplans for taking N Korea out quickly..
The 59 missiles we launched at Syria cost $100 million. I would offer NK $100 million a year for 10 years to give up their nuke program. It would end up being far cheaper then bombing the shit out of them.
Let our new ally Saudi Arabia bomb them and then sell them another 100 billion worth of replacement bombs....WINNING!!!
The problem is, we have made deals in the past with NK for them to give up their nuke program. They take what we offer, play nice for a while. Then go back to making nukes, and talking war again. In 1994, we gave NK aid in return for shutting down their nuke program. In 2003 NK started up their nuke factories again, and ignored the treaty. There have been other deals made with NK. Some of them involved our removal of nuclear weapons from SK. NK had broken every deal made.
Interesting read about how war with N. Korea could play out: https://qz.com/950488/nasty-brutish-and-short-what-the-next-korean-war-will-look-like/ It's hard to see any scenario where anyone "wins".
Nothing, fat boy has spent his country into starvation so the missile he shoves up your ass will fit. You’re going to love his missile, and so will the starving people of NK. Fat boy is playing a very dangerous game of chicken. He got away with it because we had a president that gave great speeches, but he was weak and did not know how to get things done. Now we have a president that can’t give speeches without pissing people off (or tweet), and all of the advisers that he sometimes listens to are military, and they like to fix things with their big toys.
Agree that Kim Jung Dipshit is terrible for his people but launching missiles into the ocean isn't an actionable offense. Building nukes isn't an actionable offense.
Guess it comes down to if you believe fat boys very public propaganda campaign. He has made his intentions very clear in many different messages, some of them videos of blowing up USA cities with his nukes. His intentions are to use the missiles when they are ready, with nukes on them, on USA cities.
When does the evacuation of Seoul begin? I should think that would make the guys manning the Guns targeting Seoul very nervous. We ought to leave them sweat with for awhile with a three Carrier task force tooling about off shore and shoot down every missile launched for foreseeable future. Allow nothing in or out country by sea unless it comes from China. Reduce the imports from China by the same amount that goes to NK from China. It will hurt the Americans that sell the Chinese shit, but I doubt it lasts long.
Did not know Russia stopped making threats. Putin is still trash talking. You may think it is OK for this world to have another unstable dictator with nukes on missiles that can reach the USA, but I do not.
