So what does the ROE look like for US plane in international airspace?
Are they green-light with a radar lock-on? Or do they have to wait to be fired on? I'm guessing the latter. |

My big concern is that Un is mentally unsound and is just unbalanced enough to order a strike on the US or its' allies and the consequences would be incalculable for both sides in terms of death toll and destruction. I really think he wants a war as he has done so much to provoke us. I think his endgame is to have a reunited korea with himself being the leader. Thus he is delusional. View Quote I'm not sure either way. Could be just saber rattling, could be he's a nutbar and will actually do it. I'm leaning towards saber rattling. |

This isn't 1941, where the Japanese had a very slight chance of actually pulling off Pearl Harbor and winning a quick victory that would lead to an eventual treaty. This is 2017, and war between the DRPK and the US means if Kim or members of his faction order even a single ROK or US death then they are all dead men. The war wont be waves of mindless starving commie peasants getting mowed down with machine guns, it will be a war where kinetic warheads will be detonating within feet of the bodies of the leaders of the DRPK. They all will be killed and they don't want to die, they want to enjoy the fruits of being the leaders of a despotic totalitarian govt where they eat till they get fat while the people starve. They are corrupt, they are power mad, they are evil, but they are not suicidal and contrary to their language, they don't actually want war. That's why Trump can press Kim Jung Un against the wall, because Trump knows the truth because he has the best advisers. Kelly, Mattis, McMaster, and Dunford all know not only the military capabilities of the DRPK, but also how constrained they are politically. They know we don't even need to attack to win, we win by destroying NK through sanctions. Their only recourse is to threaten, they can't throw down without guaranteeing their own death, they have zero chance of success. |

I doubt they'd have to score a hit to get a serious retaliation. Just launching a SAM at an aircraft in international airspace would be an actual declaration of war, not a tweet about Kimmy being an idiot.

Trump needs to call his bluff and send another jet past their air space. Dust off an SR71 and do a fly over.

Wonder if we still have any fighter/drone conversions in inventory. Perhaps they should be tasked for "surveillance".
