If we expand this out a little more, what if North Korea—in a future scenario where President Trump begins a massive buildup like the First or Second Gulf Wars—decides to strike first and launch not only attacks on Seoul, but deploy the full weight of his conventional military forces in an all-out assault against the South?

The most important thing they have is rockets and artillery. Any conventional conflict would begin with a two sided artillary exchange similar to what was done in WWI. And unfortunately alot of US troops are in range. To me the biggest issue would be to cripple communications...so nobody could issue a ‘launch’ order.
See my post #24
We are signatories of an Armistice with the Norks. It would be a cessation of that 'agreement'. The State of War has long existed.
Heavy sheet plastic and duck tape? Last I heard that and go shopping. If we keep doing that, we win! /sarc, if needed.
Knowing the way Trump operates, if he's talking "Fire and Fury" it'll likely be sniper teams, and sabotage subterfuge. Lil' Kim will think it's his own people and start firing on his own army.
This guy is a fruitcake. He sounds like an emotional 11 year old. He states NK has “thousands of missiles.”
Ain’t gonna be a clean and easy way to have it done with - still likely to be necessary though.
Very Short fight! When we first went into Iraq we controlled the air in the first 30 minutes. We hit the defensive radar and power grid first leaving Saddam with just a few Skuds on portable launchers. We have the ability to drop anything the the fat boy puts into the air from that point on. The only real defensive move he can make will be on the southern border with artillery and troops. And just like in Iraq they will give up the fight in the thousands. His people are starving, his troops are starving, there’s not much left to put up a fight.
We know exactly where every one of those missiles are located and can pinpoint them within 50 yards. We are watching every maintenance operation being done on these in real time.
Simple. You don't. Any North Korean attempting to cross the DMZ will be shot. Drive them north into China, and let China deal with them.
Don't count on a short war.
NK has chemical weapons. NK has nukes. Imagine the footage of a mushroom cloud somewhere in South Korea, or possibly, Japan....or the West coast.
CNN and the others will be in Seoul showing the dead and blaming Trump for starting the war.
If you thought coverage of Vietnam was bad, or the "Highway of Death" in Desert Storm......you ain't seen nothing yet.
At this stage NK is a pimple that needs to be popped.
