It's not particularly clear how we avoid a war here.

The trouble here is if we hit North Korea, then they unleash their 2 million man army on the border to invade Soul which is 35 miles for the border.
The only way we stop the invasion is with nukes or a neutron bombs (High radiation small explosion bomb). China does not want us dropping nukes or neutron bombs that close to them. Thus, it could lead to a bigger war with China.
To: Rockitz
I don't think we do. I think we just get in there and do our best.
Waiting will not make anything better unless it is intelligence gathering.

Agreed.
And I have no doubt we’d win such a war provided the Chinese don’t wade in with troops. But the cost in American and South Korean lives would be huge. Just my opinion.

Knowing the ‘gold standard’ among the world's monsters is the “EMP Attack” it would seem the best plan is to modernize our electrical grid. What would it take to 'start' a power plant that had been brought down? Buy the backup transformers NOW... Dry runs with nuke plants to make sure a loss of power doesn't mean a loss of water to keep rods from melting... This stuff isn't rocket science.

So what, once the missile is on the screen, a couple of US subs burp, and NK is the new Gulf of Korea, Kim and his gang drown in their underground tunnels.

This reeks of more neocon scare tactics.

My impression is that taking out the entire US power grid with EMP attacks is not as easy as some doom-and-gloomers make it out to be.

My impression, too; but I don’t think that we’ve paid enough attention to a possible repeat ‘Carrington Event’. I’ve read repeatedly that it wouldn’t be terribly expensive to prepare for, but that it just hasn’t seemed to be much of a priority to the TPTB.

They’d have to send more than one. The Texas grid is totally separate.

Un has made it so we have to take a preemptive kill shot at him and the rest of NorKo leadership.

And don't forget.
The U.S. isn't going to just sit by and let this simply happen.
No, rest assured that within minutes, our counter attack would knock out NOKO's coal oil grid.

And Seoul glows like Chernobyl from the fallout.

Not necessarily a factor. The Texas transformers can be burned out by an EMP simultaneously with the non-Texas transformers.

Agreed...A CME from the sun would take out some transformers, a EMP would take out circuits, but not transformers.....fear porn.

One would think some of the so-called 'stimulus' money that 0bama and his 'Rats pushed for in 2009 would have been used to harden the electrical grid against such an event.
Ah, but the union slush funds took priority, those 'shovel-ready jobs weren't so shovel-ready after all', and there was nothing left in the till to do so. Isn't it great how deep and stinky the so-called Swamp is?
