PERHAPS a middle course would be to shoot down every single test launch from today forward, but is there anyone who does not believe THAT would also result in war? The only benefit would be Kim striking first (a benefit?)
But I’m not sure
- We have ability
- We have the ability to PERMANENTLY station two task forces off each coast of North Korea if we HAVE the ability
I firmly believe a strike of any kind against North Korea would result in immediate warfare on the peninsula
I believe they would attack, AT THE LEAST all our bases in Japan, and Guam, and might strike Japanese cities.
I believe the casualties would be in the tens of thousands in the first few days, and might be incalculable if the North reacts with nuclear weapons.
If we do nothing, this math only gets worse.
Since Bill Clinton, at a time the cold war was won, and China was in the 3rd world column of nations this stupidity has grown.
No diplomatic action has influenced the true course of this process.
No sanction has influenced the true course of this process.
Nothing has influenced the true course of this process.
Perhaps we are waiting to catch Kim in the open, although American law expressly forbids us from knocking him off. HOWEVER, a decapitating strike is another matter.
Trump is about to meet with Xi and Putin.
Here’s your sign, @realDonaldTrump … ‘cooperate with the USA on a blockade and 100% embargo and land blockade on all good and services, or there will be cataclysmic war on your borders, perhaps NUCLEAR WAR on your borders. Today, tomorrow, next week, it doesn’t matter, because IT IS COMING. I advise you to evacuate your people from the area immediately.’
My sense is that China, believing we WILL do nothing, continues to use NK as a cat’s paw.
Clinton, Bush, Obama all did NOTHING except pass this test down the line, and now the test is here.
Hey, Japan, South Korea …
DUCK AND COVER.
Better now than when Kim has 300 ICBM’s and 1000 IRBMS, and 2000 MRBM’s.

Does that fat little midget have a death wish?
I am sure you know more about it than I, but it is very hard for me to believe NORK has thr military capacity to inflict tens of thousands of casualties short of using nukes.
Pasto.
Maybe he's speaking of multiple, simultaneous attacks without the use of nukes.
Epa,
Is NK capable of doing many successful simultaneous attacks?
NK has THOUSANDS if not tens of thousands of artillery tubes IN RANGE of Seoul. Population of the greater Seoul area:
TWENTY FOUR MILLION
FLight time of artillery? Less than a minute
10 minutes for one nork missile to reach japan, and I would PLAN on multiple attacks, and if things get bad for thtem, and they will, think of ANOTHER nuclear attack on Japan
Didn't "Daddy" threaten to turn South Korea into a sea of glass?
I served at Naval Hospital Guam, which is part of the Mariana Island chain. The northern end supports the Air Force and the southern tip of the island supports Big Navy. There is a Navy diving team there. I took an ICU patient there to be placed into the dive chamber for an air embolus in the spinal column (pearl diver who stayed down too long and came up too fast).
The complete region is vulnerable.
The POTUS has inherited quite a few challenges, decades in the making.
Great post, Epa.
Per somebody I saw on tv. Have the U.S. and Japan announce since China has done nothing Japan will develop its own nukes.
That's a good longer-term solution.
In the short run, WWTD?
Japan developing nukes can happen in a few months if they want that, and that sounds good TODAY. How about in 20 years? Will our needs be as close?
It would scare the SHIT out of China, but enough to chance a unified Korea with American troops there as a better choice?
The mere threat of a nuclear Japan may be enough to et China to move. And if it does Japan can change its mind.
There is no good solution. This festering sore upon the Earth has been allowed to grow into an unmanageable monster.
Actually NK has the capability to rain 100,000 artillery shells and rockets on Seoul in the first 5 minutes. Plus chemical weapons.
I had no idea. That's amazing. As you said, they have grown into an unmanageable monster.
Kid,
Actually NK has the capability to rain 100,000 artillery shells and rockets on Seoul in the first 5 minutes. Plus chemical weapons.
That is the hideous reality.
