“How do you prevent South Korea from being flattened. What about Japan? How are we going to protect them from dozens of missiles launched from mobile launchers?”
If I knew the answer to that question I’d be part of the military planning folks. But what I do know is that in the order of things, my life, and that of my family and fellow Americans has to be paramount in how my country goes about formulating and carrying out whatever military actions are necessary for preservation of same.
Kim probably “would do that,” so the way MUST be found, to insure he can’ “Do That!” The idea that using military action to protect our country being “madness” indicates to me that you would prefer to take a nuclear hit in this country before taking any preemptive measures, so in my mind, you are the “mad” person in this conversation.
——How do you prevent South Korea from being flattened——
The tactic is simple. The first actions are to destroy completely command and control. Like Germany in 1944, North Korean officers do not have initiative. They will not act without orders from above.
If the chain of command is severed, there will be no orders from above.
The problem becomes, how good is the intelligence locating the command and control nodes.
My way keeps a lot of people alive, longer.
Your family will be in no more danger tomorrow than they are today.
