Honolulu and Anchorage are within reach and a Pearl Harbor 2 scenario on Camp Smith involving missiles isn't a pleasant thought, especially since I love the MWR program they have

Sure, I'm leery of professors generally but the Naval War College and Tom have a reputable track record, even if I disagree with him from time to time. Plus, I like to review all sides in a matter before finalizing my own conclusions.

Russia & Japan have made their statements but there's still a few others I'm waiting to hear from after the holiday

Take the next one down. Do SK or Japan not have defensive missile tech? Or are they all just sitting ducks now?

View Quote

China and by extension North Korea and Iran are going with a stratagem over overwhelming defense with a mass of missiles. Different war gaming has produced different outcomes in the last few years. China feels confident it can produce an favorable outcome regarding Taiwan & the S. China sea but Iran & N. Korea aren't quite there yet in my estimation

2030 is my guess as to when it could become dicey based on conversations I've had at the Naval Postgraduate School

Quote History

Quoted:
The real problem is political, not military.
South Korea doesn't have the resolve to end to the Nork nuclear program. They could have stopped it 10+ years ago, when NK detonated their first nuclear bomb.

The South Koreans seem content to rollover and allow NK to have nuclear bombs and missiles. They don't care, because Americans will protect them.

View Quote

Large segments of the South Korean population believe one day North Korea will be absorbed and South Korea will control their military assets. Personally, I think it's wishful thinking but Korean nationalists are not the easiest people to converse with

It's way too late for war with Best Korea.

The only option now is to starve them out by choking off China economically.

Ruin China and North Korea is done. We can ruin China economically in months, if we choose.

This is from a missile expert.

John Schilling estimated the Hwasong-14 could travel 10,000 km with a light warhead. We'll see if performance lives up to expectations.
Jeffrey Lewis (@ArmsControlWonk) July 4, 2017

That basically includes California.

10,000 km = 6,214 miles

NK to LA = 5,806 miles

Shit, even includes Denver. Pretty much the entire western portion of the United States.

Not to mention if the Norks stick one on a ship and get it closer to the US shore.

Quoted:

Seoul isn't in KY either but that won't stop me from questioning a 70 year old strategy that leaves their main existential threat within artillery range of their Capitol city.

Who the Hell thought it was a good idea to just keep growing Seoul all this time and therefore leaving SK's throat exposed?

I guess it doesn't matter much when you rely on us for your well being and national security.

Now I'm just a poor dumb Hillbilly but the strategy as it has been played is suicidal for the good guys.

And inevitably, here we are with no good options......AGAIN.

FUCK.

Oh, by then way, we are still at war with North Korea and have been for over 50 years. An armistice was declared which ended hostilities. But, did not end the war. We are and have been at war with North Korea. We just temporarily stopped the fighting. Good luck with that ignorant idea of ruining China in just a few months.

I think he was talking about economic war against China, not a shooting war.

It's already cheaper to do business in Mexico because of Chinese Yuan inflation and their attempts to raise standard of living and domestic consumption of Chinese goods.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/us-vows-tougher-action-on-north-korea-after-missile-test/ar-BBDMOlY?li=BBnb7Kz&ocid=wispr

"UNITED NATIONS — The United States toughened its military pressure and invective against nuclear-armed North Korea on Wednesday “any country that does business with this outlaw regime.”

The American actions came a day after North Korea conducted a successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that appeared capable of hitting Alaska and Hawaii and was described by the United States as a “dangerous escalation” in what has become a crisis for the Trump administration. Claiming the test had been timed to America’s July 4 holiday, North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong-un, described the missile as a “gift package” to the United States.

The proposal for broader sanctions appeared aimed especially at China, North Korea’s most important trading partner. It was part of a vocal public effort by the Trump administration to push President Xi Jinping of China by linking improved American-Chinese trade relations to solving the North Korea problem — and threatening worse trade relations if China does not help more."

Trade between China and North Korea grew almost 40% in the first quarter. So much for China working with us - but we had to give it a try!
