90 days? We wouldn't have 90 minutes to defend Seoul.

There’s not that much that can be done about Seoul. It’d be flattened to the ground in a day. The commies have so much arty in range there wouldn’t be two rocks standing on top of each other within a day or two. But they couldn’t move in south. That border is one of the most well defended ones.

Yeah. That comment didn't inspire a lot of confidence in Casey, at least with me.

I think another altercation with the PRNK would be lightening fast and super bloody. They don't have the resources to get into a protracted engagement, even if they wanted too. It would have to be all-in from the get-go. I suppose it's tough to a active-duty Army officer to put it that starkly.

A massive provision of WMD ordinance would be about the only prevention of that, that I can think of.

You’d have to take out a lot of artillery and possible missile silos (or the equivalent).

It would have to be done almost across the whole southern end of NK, in one moment to prevent it.

I think that’s the problem. They would overrun the South before we could respond.

Seoul is untenable, as it is bracketed by thousands of Nork artillery pieces with only one target: Seoul. Seoul would be blasted relentlessly.
