Not the millions of innocent citizens surely? We need a Plan B if the leader is deposed.

I suppose just bombing where Kim is and making sure he dies will be sufficient enough.
they were going to kill him anyway.

I think it'd be so cool if Trump were to totally destroy you but we can't always have what we want :angel:

Re: North Korea
 

Huh. Well they are following in the footsteps of Iraq on that score, not using the US Dollar for oil pricing, so quite possibly.

They could price it in Woolongs (₩) for all the difference it will make to that socialist ruined economy.

Very likely they will in spite of the facts.

Like this Momentum idiot who seems to admire NK and despise everything about the US.

North Korea Latest: U.S President Donald Trump has just signed an Executive Order which targets companies and individuals who trade with North Korea.

China's Central Bank has ordered it's banks to stop doing business with North Korea. Which could be the most significant step China has made against it's rogue Neighbour, the question remains, how defiant will Kim be with these steps because remember a cornered rat, is said to still pounce?

Re: North Korea
 

I would like to face a NK soldier, they might be tought surrender and your family die.

Secondly launch an attack on NK he will nuke Seoul, without a second thought.

Re: North Korea
 

The Japanese were no different. Clearly any attack on HK would have to be designed to take out that capability amongst many other things. There's no good outcome to be had only a least worst.

Re: North Korea
 

While much of the weapons NK has are old and obselete by our standards they still function and do the job and they have thousands of them making the idea of hitting them before they can fire almost impossible. It should be remembered that only a small amount of the artillery can fire and hit seoul from their current dispositions and that is reliant on them having assisted shells which extend their range and hitting those is within current U.S and SK capabilities but Seoul will get hit. I think if NK go the route of launching a military campaign against the south artillery isn't the main problem NK's nuclear weapons will be the choice for them to use.

I doubt NK has any intention of initiating any form of military action as propaganda aside they are fully aware it's not something they will win and their only hope is getting China involved which isn't a possibility if NK starts military action. The biggest problem is the missile program and their reckless targetting of their tests which is putting Japan in an impossible position of not being able to just accept these missiles violating their territory and Japan not wanting a military solution to it. China is key to any peaceful end to this as NK only continues to function as a nation because of chinese trade and supplies which range from oil to munitions and if they just cut those two NK would have serious problems in holding things together.

Re: North Korea
 

Any pre-emptive strike could only hope to take out their WMD capability and a proportion of the rest. There'd clearly be no way to stop mass casualties in SK as a result of retaliation (even if it were only short term) by NK.

China is key to this but they too are dealing with a maniac and they know it. If they were to force his hand they have no certainty of how he'd react and what damage he could/would do to Chinese interests.
