Being nice to South Korea is not worth five million dead Americans. South Korea AND CHINA NEEDS TO KNOW THAT. Japan too. They better start mobilizing right now.
With an American First Strike against the Norks, the South might be hit by nukes...maybe. They wouldn’t be overrun because those troops and tanks would be vaporized or worse by American nuclear weapons or other “things”.
And to be truthful China will be catching American Nukes too. The Chinese people are about to be free of Communism...watch for the Reds to start tearing themselves apart pretty soon now.....rats and ships and all that.
Trump would be impeached immediately and convicted in the Senate fairly quickly if SK suffered millions dead. It isn't going to happen. We can intercept a NK missile heading our way. We are watching and will have plenty of time to intercept. It is the conventional missiles and the million plus Army unleashed on SK that I am talking about. You really misread this whole thing. I realize this is what you wish, but it is not practical. The ramifications are too extreme. This has been studied for years by the Pentagon and they get it and that is all that really matters anyway.
