Where exactly are 10 million people going to evacuate to in a country that side?
The problem with North Korea is that it’s not a country; it’s a death cult. Everything I’ve read regarding this is that North Korea would wipe out Seoul and our 30,000 troops within the first 24 hours, and march as far as they wanted to until the US was able to mount a counter-strike which would then wipe out the North Korean army in around 10 days.
Maybe there is a military strategy where victory can be quickly obtained without the loss of Seoul, but that would be a hell of a gamble.
I have to think that 5 digits in US casualties is about the US public’s limit for anything involving NK.
The US Installed strategically placed CIWS in the Green Zone/Baghdad. Works great at shooting down artillary, and mortars.
But things could be a lot worse. Chew on that.
They can stay put, move southbound or take up arms. And if NK is such a threat to SK and "death cult" as you say, why do you think they never attacked after all these decades?
I’ve seen videos and pictures.
Those people aren’t doing those things because they are in fear for their life(some are, but most aren’t). They actually believe all the nonsense they are fed. They have been brought up on it by their parents, and their parents before them. They have a massive hatred of the west, and I am of the opinion that they honestly believe they are living great lives.
If they all believed that crap the regime wouldn’t have hundreds of thousands of people in concentration camps. They send entire families into those camps.
Because the ruling class has pretty good lives there - if they aren’t being shot by Kim Jung-un.
But I think that if the plug was about to be pulled, that same leadership could and would take a few million people with them.
That don't sound like much of a death cult country as you described it, who are able to take out Seoul in 24 hours.
You don't think the U.S. has anything to do with it?
The whole point of this 'exercise' is to make a SHOW of force. The NK's know it's coming. We all know it's coming. We WANT them to give it a little thought before we get there and hook up with the Japanese Navy, the Russian Navy, and maybe even the Chinese Navy.
I don’t know what we are arguing about.
My only point is that if the North Korean regime is about to fall, it seems likely they will try to take several million people with them.
I don’t see any way that leadership in that country changes without a catastrophe. They have enough shells to level Seoul in a few hours, and a huge brainwashed army to send south.
Do you think Kim can be taken out without much fuss?
Everything said is said for effect and is calculated.
The government and most of the people in SK are not happy with the idea that they might have to absorb NK. It would put a long and severe drain on the economy. If it comes to it I hope they have the economic understanding sufficient to proclaim free markets in the Northern Zone and no taxation on businesses for 10 years that locate there from the prosperous foreign countries and on SK industry branches that are located in the North..
They place those flowers because it is better than being dead or put in one of Kim’s labor camps.
SSGN?
Interesting page on how the system is changing to one of camps used for extorting a black market that has grown up in recent years; people no longer buy the propaganda need to be coerced in other ways to obey:

Am familiar with MIRV, not SSGN.
Save Korea’s Seoul?
It will probably be one guy on his own volition. If two guys get together to plot anything at all, one of them is telling Kim’s guys.
