If we “break” North Korea . . . we own it. Be careful what we wish for.

LOL, Ok.

City proper is pretty meaningless and irrelevant in an increasingly metropolitan world, but in any case Seoul isn’t that big. City proper of Seoul has about 10.3 million. New York is approaching 9,000,000.

According to Wikipedia Seoul’s metro has grown to over 25,000,000 with New York at 24,000,000. Seoul’s slightly bigger but not anywhere near 3 times bigger.

They’re both REALLY BIG.

Compare crime rates if you really want a shock.

I agree with you on South Korea. I want our troops out of there. Then drop them bombs.

As far as I’m concerned the South Korean’s are ungrateful little jerks. Let them protect themselves.

We do not have 250,000 bombs that we can simultaneously drop on every single Nork emplacement. This would require precision munitions to ensure the target is destroyed if you are allocating one per tube/rail/etc.; Boeing has made less than 325,000 JDAM kits to date and more than 150K have been expended or sold to other countries. We don’t have the ability to deliver any more than a small fraction of those at any time, either.

Where do you get the number 250,000? I am reading their entire army has 8,600 artillery pieces and 4,800 multiple rocket launcher systems. I can’t see how that adds up.

A “message” would be one drone—even if unsuccessful at taking Kim out.

You are absolutely right about not going to war over this. I don’t think it will be. Take everything else into account, especially the last missile that hit next to Japan. The longer the psychopath is in control, the more time he has to practice.

Now, how to go in and get just fat boy?

Sign him up for lifetime supplies of Krispy Kreme donuts, Wagyu beef burgers, pork belly tacos with sour cream, Crisco fried chicken, Doritos, cheese balls, and the all brand candy bar / deep fried food / bath salts / tequila of the month clubs... then let nature take its course.

"WHY couldn’t we drop some bombs on their missile sites?? How would they be able to retaliate then?

With 13,000 artillery sites.

===============================================

Indeed, and that doesn't account for the many missile sites as well.

How North Korea Would Retaliate
Could North Korea Annihilate Seoul with Its Artillery?
North Korea’s Simple But Deadly Artillery Holds Seoul And U.S. Hostage

That, China, Russia (who both share a border with N.K.) and the fear of a more deadly Korean War II is why we haven't hit them yet, militarily.

Flying bombers over a neighboring country doesn’t send a message. A couple well placed bombs would send a message.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

A nice array into the prison administration building on a Tuesday morning would do it.

WHABOOM!
