In reply to the discussion: Do you support a pre-emptive strike on North Korea ? [View all]workinclasszero
(28,270 posts)I don't know what people are thinking with this insanity.
If we sneak attack/first strike it would have to be minimum a tactical nuke attack on the North Korean capital with simultaneous strikes on their military bases. Those could be conventional or nuke, who knows?
Hundreds of thousands of North Koreans and South Koreans will die in hours. A million man army will pour across the DMZ immediately.
We have 20 or 30 thousand military people there who will be targeted plus Seoul a city of 10 million just miles from the NK border.
I assume NK's evil dictator will use everything in his stockpile because he knows if captured he will be executed for crimes against humanity so no chance of surrender either.
NK has nerve agents like sarin and VX as well.

Pyongyang controls a powerful standing army despite the nation's limited financial resources. North Koreas armed forces counts 1.19 million service members and another 7.7 million reservists. The isolated nation of 25 million people is also home to 3,500 battle tanks, 72 submarines, 302 helicopters, 563 combat aircraft and 21,100 artillery pieces, making up one of the most powerful militaries in the world.

Are we ready for the consequences of an all out major war in Asia using nuclear and chemical weapons? Shit our government is trying to strip away every social program we have yet we are going all in on a trillion dollar plus nuclear war that we will start???
This will make the 10 year war in Vietnam look like a walk in the park. Get ready to invest your sons and daughters into the bloody maw of the MIC suckers. You can rest assured that Trump's and all rich republicans kids and grand-kids will escape any harm from this horrendous war!
If they attack us that's a different story we must defend ourselves. Of course that could be manufactured by an administration bent on war too. Wouldn't be the first time.
