Kim orders rockets on standby to attack

[Slowhand]

I wonder how many casualties Japan will sustain? Millions maybe?

N. Korea doesn't have to come close to 'winning' anyways, as soon as the first wave of casualties roll in, our economy (and the global economy) will go to hell in a hand basket. And that is what will make or break the US.

Which is why I suggest that the Chinese may not be as ready to jump in and defend North Korea here. They're not morons; they know that it will have a massive impact on the global economy (I think the extent of that impact is really difficult to estimate from where we sit). A North/South Korean conflict will do much less damage to the global economy than a North Korean, Chinese, South Korean, US, Japanese, NATO conflict.

One of the first things I stated in this thread is how many people would be lost if someone pushes a button.

No lives will be lost if we make North Korea a [redneck]glassssssss island[/redneck]!

Be sure to tell the millions of casualties that will die in the first few hours of the war about the US air and sea superiority.

The Norks have a shit ton of towed artillery, SPGs, and MLRSs pointed at military and civilian targets at all times. It is all old soviet era bullshit, but old soviet era bullshit can still fuck shit up. If war breaks, Seoul gets leveled and the 30,000 soldiers the US has on the DMZ get shelled into oblivion.

If that happens, then it is Inchon II.

Since when does this board give a shit about the lives of anyone that isn't a US serviceman?

[stevo]

I don't know man, but I also don't know when the last time was that we sent in ground forces before we had complete and total air and sea superiority, or the last time we fought without the support of our allies. You can count on SK and the JDF to be there for us on this one without question.

LMAO!!! That picture is greatness!

[Moose242]

How many of the total US forces are scattered across the globe, compared to the forces stacked in N. Korea? How long will it take to get all of those US forces to S. Korea to fight? And when the US starts to pull those forces from across the globe, what happens to the areas in which they were stationed?

The puny United States Military will get crushed by the glorious forces of North Korea. I mean the odds are only slightly in America's favor:

Because North Korea is all we have to worry about.

Remember that one time China fought the West and won?

Anyone else worried about which side Russia will actually choose if the shit hits?

Quietly behind China's slanted ass crack.
