Heard of china?

Oh look yet another shit post clogging up the sub

Well you're clearly playing dumb or are you seriously claiming that you don't know what china is

Then why do you ignore their existence?

Neither is nuking North Korea...

russia and china are allies with NK

And the states would get massacred if they went to war with Russia and China. The US hasn't been an actual war with someone that can actually fight back in decades. They'd lose. I mean realistically speaking, it would probably go to nukes pretty fast and everyone would lose.

People fight wars not money. Americans are retarded and soft as fuck.

But not you, right? You're a fit, smart troll!

I'm not advocating for war with anyone dipshit. Look at any Reddit meet up pic and tell me how I'm wrong?

Seriously? You get your view of Americans through Reddit meet-up pics? Wow... just... wow.

No, I get my views from living in America. This country is soft as fuck.

I'd love to know what they've been doing in space with all that cash, for sure.

But in modern times, if two massive super powers ( or more ) were to go to actual war, it would start with a digital attack that cripples the infrastructure. Doesn't even need to be anything as fancy as an EMP, it can be done with a virus or trojan. There was a similar attack from Russia against Ukraine a while ago that's a pretty good example. From there you can toss over a couple of nukes on ICBM's to polish it off. Realistically, the entire thing could start and finish within an hour.

You're just a troll

Just flatten the place and get it over with, a conventional invasion is not practical. Nobody will retaliate if we just nuke them.

I thought you faded away.

No, wasn't really referring to you. I was referencing MacArthur.

I think NK threat is overblown to justify continuing SK and Japan occupations. Both can and should defend themselves. But that would start with kicking the US out, and nobody in charge of anything wants that.

Pretty sure SK wants US troops there.

Of course they do. Frees up billions of dollars they'd have to spend to defend themselves.

Do you seriously think South Korea doesn't pay for this in a fashion?

Yeah, they do a ton of trade with the US and probably force Samsung to create backdoors for US spies. Small price to pay to have the US armed forces on call 24/7.

I would guess this is more about the USA (indirectly) forcing South Korea to hold US debt and pay tribute to finance another big operation. That's how this game is played at that level.

Of course they do. Frees up billions of dollars they'd have to spend to defend themselves.

I think hanging them out to try and then prove king North Korea to invade after we pull all out people out is a perfect solution.

well idk realy, they might do something xd

let's kill millions of people because some dude on reddit is frustrated by the memes of war

What if they were mass evacuating NK right now so they can use some new superweapon on it, then use that as an excuse to disarm the world and turn it into a neomodern paradise?

serioulsy

Would that change your life in any way?

NK is a good scapegoat and a distraction!

Nuking NK would be devastating, not only to that regime but to the entire Asian peninsula which would only create more tension between the US and its current alies in the area.

USA are not interested in a war with people who can fight back, to that devastating level, and secondly, NK have nothing the US wants. E.g. Oil, building contracts etc. The usual war reasons really

If I'm not mistaken they do have mineral resources.

Not worth a nuclear war

Yes, these are empty threats. The regime largely derives its power over its people by painting the US as a powerful and evil adversary. The rhetoric coming out of NK is more about rallying and controlling its own people than actually threatening the US.
Kims goal is to maintain his power and status at all costs. An unprovoked attack against the US would be an a-strategic move, as it would surely result in regime change through military intervention by the US and South Korea. Do not confuse Kim for someone who is irrational. Kim is rational but desperate. Imagine him as an escaped criminal who is holding a hostage in hopes of exchanging them for his freedom. Though his actions have been outrageous they have also been largely predictable.
North Koreas nuclear and chemical weapons cannot win them an offensive war, nor can their conventional weapons, and they are not going to start one. They are insurance against military intervention by the US and SK, and bargaining chips to be traded for aid or reduced sanctions.
The US will likely not intervene militarily (yet, anyway) for two reasons: 1.) US politicians and diplomats know these threats are empty and serious offensive action by NK is a-strategic. 2.) China would be deeply upset at the US gaining more strategic influence in the area by invading NK, and awakening the disastrous humanitarian obligation that reunification entails. This is why you see Trump and other politicians telling China to act on the matter.

IMHO the real question is why all the noise about NK now. As if the USA cares at all about them outside potential resources which China will surely not give up. To me they are China's Syria/Crimea and that gives this another quality.

The USA wants to force China into a bad position quickly because the time is running out.

Unless all this isn't a theatre for something completely different, even bigger.

War Dog. You deserve a seat in /r/Wardogs .

What the US should do is get China on board to take out North Korea and let them do the dirty work and have the land.

We need the NK threat to have bases in Japan and SK to counter China and Russia

So I don't think anything will happen

NK is conveniently propped up as a bad actor against which narratives of action leading to larger conflict can be applied. The people who are spreading the rhetoric of these narratives are who exactly? Not the Chinese. Not the Russians. Oh who could it be that's doing this?

What proof is there NK has nukes or plans or using them?

NK doesn't exist in a fucking vacuum. (smh)

Nuking them will result in China and Russia launching a shit ton of nuclear ICBMs at the homeland with North Korean flags

All this cock-rattling rhetoric..it's good for the MIC and Wall Street. Trump alluding to an attack worse than Hiroshima or Nagasaki...how dare that cunt.

It's like he's promo'ing a fucking UFC bout. I'm thinking something else is about to happen/is happening on another stage and this is merely a smokescreen.

People fight wars not money. Americans are retarded and soft as fuck.
