Or maybe a black ops head hunter mission. Just take out all the leaders.
Follow that with an information mission. NK has been pretty isolated from the rest of the world.

I still think it's really China, behind all this. They could end the NK problem in 2 seconds if they wanted.

Who is foolish enough to judge a book by it's cover?

No matter who is president or what they said, NK was still going to do what they have been doing. They just didn't start making nukes since Trump came to office.
Even NK knows, no matter what Trump says, that we could handily kick their ass.





As for SK. They think they could stop everything with their 6 THAAD emplacements. The gamble, ofc is Seoul, SK which is home to 25 million people and 40 miles from NK's border.
NK doesn't even have to launch a nuke at SK they could carry one into Seoul in a hay cart or similar.






The problem seems to be China, and to a somewhat lesser extent Russia, as I have said before.
There are 5 countries with veto power in the UN. Those being China, France, Russia, United Kingdom, and United States.

The entire UN wanted to shut off the oil supplies to NK, which would have ground NK to a halt. But China and Russia, said they would veto that.
There are many diplomatic ways to stop NK but for China standing in the way.

apparently you never heard of conventional weapons, huh? seoul (and american military bases in the region) are very much in artillery range - and the north korean army, despite being technologically at a huge disadvantage, is MASSIVE. also you conveniently ignored the part of japan being very much a "viable" target to nuke for north korea...

So you agree SK could likely handle any artillery offensive with assistance of USA etc.


And I didn't mention Japan for 2 reasons
1) they haven't been the target of much hostility (or at least as much as SK)
2) I don't know what their defences amount to.

Did you just say north korea could carry a nuke into south korea in a fucking cart? Do you even know wtf you are talking about?

LOL fucking right....

Well I was kidding about the "hay cart". But Seoul is only 40 miles from NK border.
I would think it would be possible to move a nuke, that far, before detection AND disposal or disarming could be achieved.


/e Just a nuke is not that big..it could be in a large suit case in a diplomatic vehicle for example.

Ok fine, I guess I have to spell it out.

Take it by boat, and then scuba guys...w/e. The point is that NK wouldn't need to launch a nuke at SK...there are other ways.

Nk has a bunch of little subs for example.
