Show me a howitzer or any other heavy gun with a 35+mile range and I’ll concede there’s a problem.
All this hokey about Seoul being within artillery range of the DMZ is a dangerous LIE.
A LIE that could cause the loss of an American city...or a dozen.
And even IF Norklandia has artillery with such range (they don’t) would any one of you trade Seattle to save Seoul?
I also assume that the Koksan self-propelled artillery, which NK has, does not exist since there is no gun with the range to hit Seoul.
Anyway, since it is an obvious lie I am assuming that we will see a massive attack on Pyongyang any moment now. After all, the biggest ace North Korea has - its artillery - is a lie, right? That's why all the nations around it bend over backwards to placate the three fat oafs that have ruled North Korea ...a lie.
As for your last point - trading Seattle for Seoul. That's a real question, and the answer is simple. It's not even about trading one for the other. It's the simple fact that the best time to have stopped NK was decades ago, but because that wasn't done, the best time to stop NK is NOW. More time only makes their capabilities (even the ones some consider to be 'lies') to become more effective. It will cost lives, and may even cost Seoul to be honest (and yes, I am one of those who believe the 'lie' that NK can annihilate a good part of Seoul), but the fact is that if nothing is done NOW that in the FUTURE it will be the cities of Tokyo and Seattle that get used as basically city-wide hostages.
The choice is simple - lose big now, or lose bigger later.
Hmmmmm...Seattle, full of "enemies domestic"...queers, moonbats, bums, parasites, and other communists.....
Seoul....Christians, an economic and manufacturing powerhouse, a major trading partner,, the sixth most competitive city in the world.
How about we keep Seoul, and have him take out Seattle, Portland and San Fransicko? Then blow him up.
Ir I heard correctly Seoul has +27 Million people
