1999: Trump accurately blames Democrats for giving North Korea nukes in the first place. pic.twitter.com/Tmm5pzbOt0— Paul Joseph Watson (@PrisonPlanet) August 9, 2017
Just shoot down whatever they send up.
U.S. has 38,000 personnel in South Korea. This force is not critical to the defense of South Korea. As to why we have any forces at all in South Korea, it is to assure South Korea that we have their back. We provide strategic deterrence. Plus, our radars and air dominance platforms change the battle space.
South Korea has 625,000 active personnel. It is South Korea that defends South Korea. North Korea has 1.1 million active personnel, 70 percent of whom are within 50 miles of the border. Not much more than a 1:1 ratio to the South Korean forces on the other side of the DMZ.
If I were a soldier in the South Korean army, I would be insulted to think I and my fellow soldiers would simply melt away like those pantywaist Iraqis did when ISIS showed up.
Little fat boy is making noise because the economic sanctions that Trump placed on NK are squeezing him and isolating him from China’s help.
He would launch missles for sure in that case.
Shorter range stuff? Yeah, maybe Japan and South Korea should be worried.
Apparently, there's a THAAD battery on Guam. No telling how many ABM equipped Aegis ships in the vicinity. They're probably safe.
NK can throw their little temper tantrum, but if they actually launch anything with a radiation signature...they place their entire Country and population at risk to the US counter strike. We cannot, we will not simple sit there and take it.

When a leader simultaneously personifies Little Boy and Fat Man, of course things are going to go nuclear. But if we put enough pressure on China, we can put a chink in his armour.
They would start offensive action the minute the missile reaches the ballistic stage. They’ve stopped the missiles before they got to that stage in all previous tests. Our folks will know within a few minutes what is going on.
Then we start seeing stuff fall from the heavens over Korea. Big titanium rods; impossible to see or stop. Stuff just starts exploding. No aircraft, no launches, no fingerprints.
Blow up palaces and dams.
What do you think those little shuttle things have been doin on those long missions. They were not seeing how rats screw in space!
N.Korea cannot match the US militarily or economically, it can only fight us with words. In that, they actually have an advantage because we consider them unpredictable and possibly capable of doing something suicidal, like nuking Guam. They, OTOH, know from decades of US foreign policy that we are only likely to fight with words. My conclusion is that they are wholly rational because they are chose to engage us with their best weapon on a battleground tilted in their direction.
The box was maybe 8” tall @ $4.
...not like the mini box packs with Frosted Flakes, etc..
EMP them and keep the boost phase area covered by launcher and laser ABM systems.
Yea, but you no longer have a son!!!
It would be a task to get half of us with the Russian arsenal. If the Norks fire a nuke at us S. Korea will have a few thousand square miles of bitchin skate park after it cools off...
Do you mean tungsten rods? As in THOR?
“Then we start seeing stuff fall from the heavens over Korea. Big titanium rods; impossible to see or stop. Stuff just starts exploding. No aircraft, no launches, no fingerprints.”
I’ve long wondered if we have that sorta stuff parked overhead. More big ugly gifts that they can’t see.
Gonna get real interesting in Norkland. At least for those watching from outside the border.
Only thing missing is Bockscar and Enola Gay
