It is time for a strong preemptive nuclear strike. 30 - 40 Trident II's, each loaded with 8 W88 devices. The best case scenario is a massive first strike. Take out as much of their known military, political, and infrastructure as possible in the first few minutes. Submarine launch the first strike and follow it up with strategic bombers. China is too pragmatic to jump into a fight that starts with a nuclear strike. View Quote Shit is going to kick off sooner or later, we might as well throw the first punch. Double or (apocalypse) the rest of the world will do nothing but pee in their panties a little bit. And no, we would most definitely NOT get our hair mussed. We could flatten them and all we would lose would be Seoul. (ETA: and/or our soul). |

I can't for the life of me see what Kim hopes to accomplish with all this premature provocation and posturing. The very best he can hope for is to preserve the status quo, which he would have had anyway if he'd simply STFU. And at worst he'll end up with a lapful of U.S. conventional, or possibly nuclear weapons. Surely he's smart enough to realize that there's no happy ending to the course he seems intent on setting for NK's international relations.

Fall out is a controllable effect based on the altitude (relative to ground level) of the device at the time of detonation. To put it simply, blow the bombs up high enough and you don't get significant fallout. That has to be balanced, of course, with minimizing the potential of the compton effect doing significant infrastructure damage to Seoul. Bottom line is we'd need to use more devices, blow them higher off the ground, and further from the border, to keep from causing an environmental disaster in Japan or an infrastructure and humanitarian disaster in Seoul. |

We could flatten them and all we would lose would be Seoul. The thing is we won't get the job done with just a few nuclear blasts. The most efficient way to do it is to selectively pick which devices and altitudes for each target area, with a goal of maximum localized damaged and minimum collateral damage outside of North Korea. |

Great, just like Iran the U.S. Has paid proection money, played the "sanction" bullshit game with the "international community"
Enough kicking the can down the road. It's war with North Korea and IMO Nuke Iran as well time. screw it FO fo bigly. I say this as an adult with a near draftable son, money in the market, and who has an aversion to nuclear fallout. WWIII. What do we do today? Lets take over the world.

Surely he's smart enough to realize that there's no happy ending to the course he seems intent on setting for NK's international relations. View Quote It's ultimately to the benefit of Red China to have NK as a buffer state, as well as having them on-call as a source of harassment to the US and other nations that are in the area. The ChiComs are NK's biggest trading partners, by far, at least in non-military, overt sales. That being the case, if Red China sneezes, NK gets a cold. Given the very great reaction to the tsunami/Jap reactor disaster not long ago, the idea of hitting NK in a pre-emptive strike with multiple nukes would raise an incredible reaction in SK, Japan, and anywhere downwind where any fallout could settle. The NORKs have had decades in which to tunnel and in which to hide their weapons in relatively secure areas It's a tough problem. I don't have the answer. |

So liquid fueled missiles take a while to prepare for launch? They can't just erect the launcher and fire it off? I understand the liquid fueled type can't be stored fueled? I doubt they even have a warhead miniaturized enough yet but I could be wrong. This will sure move the war time table up

A Titan II airburst over Pyongyang would be more than enough to flatten that entire city and fuck up surrounding cities. Millions dead. I don't think we can reasonably expect that a monolithic attack on their capital will result in a deescalation of tensions. We need to eliminate their capability to respond, which means going after both their nuclear facilities (and any mobile platforms we track) as well as their conventional units. Keeping our side of the DMZ from being decimated means using dozens or hundreds of smaller warheads on their side. Draw a line just north of the 39th parallel and another at the DMZ. Overlap air burst blast radii and pound it into the ground. Add on more specific targets of military and political positions north of the 39th. We don't need to drop a 9 megaton warhead on a city, we need to reach out with a few hundred smaller warheads and brush the opposition off the map as though they were pimp slapped by the hand of an angry god. |

Written in early June by Jeffery Lewis
Attached File What sort of ICBM is North Korea likely to launch? As I have noted elsewhere, most attention has focused on the missile that North Korea has been showing off since 2012, which the United States calls the KN-08. North Korea conducted a test of the KN-08’s engine last year. If the missile works — a fairly big if, to be honest — it would have the range to reach New York. But there is also the possibility of a surprise. North Korea showed off two different heavy vehicles carrying canisters large enough for an ICBM, sending the clear message that there are multiple ICBMs under development. Other options include an ICBM based on the new engine that powered the Hwasong-12 or a larger solid-fueled ballistic missile. Each of these would be a surprise, in the sense that it represents a capability North Korea has yet to demonstrate. But then again, there is a first time for everything. North Korea has said that the missile will “soar into the sky with dynamism” — although a first ICBM test is, more likely than not, likely to fail spectacularly. Rocket science is, after all, hard. But that first test will be a warning, a wake-up call that America’s long-running policy of attempting to scold the North Koreans into disarmament is at an end. The Rodong Sinmun commentary argued that Washington’s “hostile policy will end … when the DPRK conducts the test-fire of ICBM capable of precisely striking any place of the U.S. mainland.” While I don’t expect Trump’s level of hostility will decline, the phrase “hostile policy” is a North Korean term of art. And the Rodong Sinmun commentary is correct in a specific sense: North Korea’s test of an ICBM will complete the development of a nuclear arsenal with a defined strategic role. It is the final step in building an arsenal that can deter and, to use another term of art, repel an American invasion. If deterrence were to fail, and an invasion were underway, North Korea already plans the widespread use of nuclear weapons against U.S. forces in South Korea and Japan. U.S. officials have repeatedly said that such a threat is not credible: “Perhaps he’s got an enhanced capacity to conduct a nuclear attack” one U.S. official noted, “and then immediately die.” Or, as Trump told Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, “We have a lot of firepower, more than [Kim] has, times 20 — but we don’t want to use it.” Tough talk like that is easy from behind the safety of a smartphone and an ocean. And that is why Kim wants an ICBM — to reach beyond the ocean and hit the hand tweeting out blustery threats. |
