Mattis hints at secret 'kinetic' military options for North Korea

Business Insider ^

Take a look at a map of the region. Seoul and Beijing are right next to North Korea. We are not going to use nuclear weapons when the fall out will affect South Korea or China. We have had 60 years to prepare conventional forces for this.

Mattis has so many assets between the US and ROK alone, the North won't know what hit them.

As I understand it, Kim has been taught from birth that he is a god, can do no wrong and cannot make a mistake. So nothing actually scares or worries him. He thinks he is invincible. So when he finally has his ducks in a row, nothing will stop him from launching.

Soap?

The artillery is in tunnels. Rockslide the doors and drop a crap load of MK82s with mine fuzes in front of all the tunnels. NK to NK: “I ain’t going out there!”

Both are correct in a way.

“The population of Seoul in 2016 is estimated at 10.29 million, although this is just the population of the Special City, which has a density of about 17,000 people per square kilometer (45,000/square mile). The sprawling metropolitan area is much larger at 25.6 million.”

How about a big swarm of radioactive bees? I’ve always liked that option.

Kinetic means action involving lethal force. That’s all.

Not really. Kinetic energy is defined as energy from motion.

Lethal or otherwise has nothing to do with it.

Project Thor also known as Rods from God are kinetic weapons. Their destructive force is derived only from their weight and the speed of their impact.

Neutron bomb.

Exactly what I was thinking.

[Fungi]

Do you know what a neutron bomb is—before you look it up?

[sparklite2]

It’s the perfect capitalist weapon. Clear out the scum without damaging the real estate.

Thanks for the link. ;^)

Can you see it coming? Leaks for any pre-emtive military action. Wait.

Don’t need a nuke, just the RODS OF GOD.
A 36 inch diameter tungsten steel rod with a simple guidance system dropped from orbit.
No fallout, just a hell of a big hole.

They need to destroy those two goddamned (nuclear armed?) satellites NK has up in space, that 0dunga allowed to go up and park right above us.

The Chicoms will not be calling the shots. If we have to go in we will be calling the shots and reunification will be the rule of the day. The Chicoms blew it this time. They went too far and they will no longer be allowed their proxy attack dog.

We need the neutron bomb we no longer have in our arsenal. It has little Fallout and would kill those north of the dmz that man the most formidable concentration of conventional artillery forces that would devestate Seoule.

If we must go to war. Kill them before they can kill us

[Tench_Coxe]

That’s what I was thinking....

[DIRTYSECRET]

There is no neutron bomb. Thank Carter.

No light on the interior, yet they have the border lit af.
