Yup, so they'll get an hour or so of firing 2-3 roughly-placed shells per minute, and then their invasion attempt will be over and the remainder of their army will be ripped to shreds. That sounds pretty pathetic from a country threatening the U.S.A with a nuclear strike.
I know everybody will make a fuss over how many civillians could potentially be killed, but that's the nature of war. If NK start bombarding Seoul, a lot of people will die, but if NK's artillery was more advanced a lot more people would be killed. If they're going to do it there's not much anyone can do to prevent it, but it certainly won't last for very long.
Hey, as long as the people who die aren't your citizens, it's okay.
Considering 20 feet of hardened concrete can be cracked open by the latest U.S bombs (and, again, that's just the ones we know about), I doubt it. Size counts for nothing when you are so poorly trained and equipped - just more fodder for the cannons. With modern technology it's pretty easy to locate such old-fashioned artillery, the firing signature is a dead giveaway. Moving them around would be handing them to jet pilots on a plate. If the South and the U.S.A have air superiority (which they will almost instantly) those artillery pieces will be done within a few hours.
And a few hours is all the North would need to devastate the South.
Why are you assuming that the North's soldiers are poorly trained and equipped? Becaue they're still using weapons that were designed sixty years ago? It might be a problem if they were using weapons that were
built sixty years ago, but they're not.
Probably because a small yapping dog is irritating but not deserving of any special attention. The longer NK leave their invasion, the further they fall behind the rest of the world, and so their chances of achieving anything of any significance turn to dust.
I am
so glad you are not the one making policy decisions. North Korea might be a "small, yapping dog", but even the smallest of dogs can draw blood if they get a good enough grip. And assuming it won't happen will simply leave you vulnerable to it.
He can't even mount a nuclear device to a BM, let alone develop a ICBM and mount one to that. Dreamers will dream, I guess.
Why do you assume a nuclear device would be the only part of Kim's plan?
Once again, we're at the point where someone completely fails to comprehend the idea that Kim does not think the way you do. Kim wouldn't be making these noises if he wasn't confident that he could drive America out. He doesn't want to obliterate them, only hurt them enough that he forces them to take him seriously for fear of inciting another, equally-devastating wave of attacks.
They have been trying to target American interests for 50 years, so? They get weaker every year, and the developed world is getting sick of them.
So sick of them, in fact, that the developed world is treating this as one of the most serious situations on the peninsula in years, if not decades.
This is a big media stir that boils down to jack squat.
Oh, yes. It's clearly such a slow news day that the media have nothing better to do than to try and get everyone riled up by a potential war.
But hey, the North can't target the American mainland with nuclear devices. So even though they have artillery shells pointed at one of the largest cities in the world, and the ability to shell it with chemical weapons, there's nothing worth getting worked up over.
), then we will see who the bully on the block is. Again, it's just a muscle twitch from Jong.
A borderline-retarded leader would realize that South Korean military would absolutely destroy North on its own. Without the backing from the Chinese & the U.S. backing South Korea without a doubt, North has zero chance. Not maybe 1%, zero.
