If we launched a conventional strike on NK it would not do enough damage IMO. Plus it will be easy to see all the forces getting ready to attack beforehand.

Trump will have to use nukes. Those horrendous weapons will kill millions on the Korean peninsula, friend and foe alike. The world will forget about the strutting fat bastard former dictator of NK quickly and focus on the horrible act which we committed, the effects of which will go on for decades long after Trump takes his seat in hell.

Huge clouds of radioactive dust and dirt will circle the globe and millions of people will be exposed to it and take it into their bodies.

If enough nuclear weapons are used it could cause crop failures on a grand scale followed by famines.

We will be pariahs, feared, hated and loathed by all. 24/7/365 a parade of ghastly burned, maimed and irradiated Koreans will be on YouTube and news programs.

Japan is at risk as well.
