And it won't be the US that gets bombed or has missiles dropping on it. South Korea will be devastated, Seoul is maybe 25 miles from the border with North Korea.
Any start up of war will be a conflagration for the Korean Peninsula. South Korea does have a very large capable military and the US will deploy vast amounts of assets so they won't lose, but the loss of life will be colossal. Certainly North Korea will cease to exist both figuratively and physically. They will be obliterated. But again South Korea will suffer terribly. I would also bet Japan is seriously considering becoming a nuclear power now. They've had 'a nuke in the basement' for a long time, which means they have all the capability, material, and know-how to build nukes but they've resisted it because of their history with atomic weapons and war. Kim Jong Fuckstick is forcing their hand now.
And China will not tolerate a democracy on it's border that is aligned with the US so any scenario is going to be very complex and a shit sandwich.
Yep - Remember too that NoKo shares borders with both China and Russia which means tens of thousands if not millions of refugees would pile in which would piss them off to no end. I worry that one or both of them gets involved and then the use of nukes could expand.
Apparently Kim Jong Fuckstick has around 15,000 artillery pieces pointed at Seoul. Most estimates I've seen indicate that minimally a million people would die if they were all employed at once - including many of our troops.
Bannon was right about one thing - there is no military option.
