Quoted:
The majority of the wait time would be in confirmation, decision, and then execution. Ohio Class SSBN off their coast could deliver Trident II SLBM in ten to fifteen minutes once it was launched to target max. Obviously though there is no way we'd do that, because the risk of fallout over China and Russia would be too high an invite retaliation from both nations. Conventional Air Strikes would be carried out together with total invasion of North Korea. That is what we would do. Within no time flat, Tomahawks would be raining down on the NK capital and the their side of the DMZ. Within short order, Tanks, Troops and air units would be taking territory. NK would fall inside of a few days. China would be the only issue. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: This giant pussy of a President we have, would never use nukes. You're probably right  but I was just asking from a purely logistic perspective.I believe we and the world could respond/destroy N Korea with conventional weaponry. I may take days instead of minutes but the result would be the same. We'd lose a lot more planes and people. Their technology may be 1960's vintage, but they have a LOT of it. |

Quoted:
China would occupy DPRK and install their own regime.I believe this is what would happen before or shortly after a conventional war.China uses the Norks as their own hidden labor,drug makers,counterfeiters etc as well as taking food from the prison farms that th eNorks really can't spare.Trade between the countries is $3.5 billion per year and provides China with a buffer from and nuisance to the US,ROK and Japan. China props up the north because they don't want the refugee crisis that a collapsed nork state will entail. Drug makers, labor, LOL. China has plenty of those things... And it doesn't need counterfeiting. They have all of our money that they need... The "prison farm food" in the north doesn't even feed the prison farms. Right but wrong,wrong and right but wrong. China sells goods made in the DPRK but marked as Chinese.Some of their exports are bizzare stuff youd never have thought of such as animating cartoons. North Korea makes a considerable amount of drugs but as knockoffs and direct counterfeits but also huge amounts of meth.The cost of business is always cheaper somewhere and both China and Russia use Nork farmed out slave laborers as well. If the DPRK goes,millions will flee north rather than try crossing the DMZ and China knows this,but they also have practical reasons for keeping the status quo.It ties up a huge part of US,ROK and Japanese defense needs having to worry about them and they don't want a free market democracy next door. |
