They say they vow to cancel the 1953 cease fire that ended the Korean War. Shit is about to go down.

Well, if they're going to war there's not much we can do. May as well just sit here and watch.

I don't think so man. Half the US fighter inventory is there training daily to fuck NK in the ass if they do something stupid like that. Ever seen pictures of the elephant walks at Osan? That's just a piece of it.

Just because they have a shit ton of bodies and semi-obsolete military equipment doesn't mean they could move more than three feet before South Korea and maybe some regional allies or the US buttfucked the everloving shit out of them.

Interesting article however I am a bit sceptical about the source. That being said I can easily see how North Korea would take such precautions if it were to attack South Korea.

Also North Korea does have the largest amount of special forces out of any country, this gives them a huge advantage in taking out key targets early on in an invasion. Regardless I still don't think North Korea will do anything, this still smells like Kim Jong-Un trying to flex his muscles.

exactly. North Korea has nukes and they have missiles. The problem is getting those missiles anywhere near where they want. I mean...they have MISSED space with several launches. Literally the most expansive, infinite target in existence...and they missed it.

If they target anything with missiles it won't be the actual US, they just don't have the capabilities. If anything they would launch missiles at one of the US oversea basses, probably in South Korea or Japan. They probably won't launch anything though since their closest ally, China, is agreeing with the rest of the world in introducing sanctions on North Korea.

North Korean's love their government. It is easy for us to say they are living terrible lives but they think the exact same thing about the rest of the world.

There are 30,000 us troops stationed there many of which are stationed in between the NK and SK soliders so US soldiers would likely be the first to be hit. That being said, NK is likely to launch nukes as their first strike or at least thats what they are saying so it is unlike the boarder would actually be the fighting front. Everything is going to be on a way bigger scale than the boarder.

If NK uses a nuke they will no longer be part of the map

This makes sense. The only way to stop them would be some sort of area denial thing. But I don't think the UN would be cool with a minefield or chemical weapons.

Have they proven they could deliver a warhead yet?

North Korea and South Korea technically have been at war for a while. They only signed a cease-fire, not a official treaty saying the aren't at war and stuff.

Can you imagine them playing that over a megaphone during a firefight? That would be fucking awesome. I would totally kill some North Koreans to Gangnam Style, sign me up for that.

Oh and as far as the rest of this thread, North Korea blows so much air out their ass all the time its not even funny. They are just pissed off because their military power hasn't improved  for shit in the last 50 years. No one would ever back them up in the war, and it would be over in the blink of an eye.

Personally, I hope they do it. The people of North Korea have suffered long enough, time for an excuse to intervene

I am aware that they are 35 miles from the border. I am also aware that Seoul is well-equipped for such an event, with shelters for citizens. There would certainly be high initial casualties, but when panic had winded down and the SK military had started to respond, I think that artillery would become a small factor, as the very firing of the artillery pieces would reveal their position. Mobile artillery is also a non-factor as for it to be utilized to lay siege to Seoul it would have to leave the NK border open to countterattack. As for the ground troops, NK does not have the logistical capability of "piling 4 million troops over the border" even without SK and American (29,000 troops stationed there with Navy support relatively close at hand, so not insignificant) resistance. It would undoubtedly be a costly fight for both sides, but in the end NK simply cannot move enough troops fast enough to take Seoul.

Here are the armored vehicles of NK:

800 BMP-1 and variants, capable of holding 8 infantry soldiers each: 6,400 infantrymen.

32 BTR-80's: capable of arring 7 equipped infantrymen: 224 men

1,000 BTR-60's, capable of holding 8 soldiers: 8,000 men

1,000 BTR-50's, capable of holding 18 passengers: 18,000 men

350 BTR-40's: Total capacity, 2800.

Unknown number of BTR-152's, 18 passengers each. Assuming a high estimate of 1,000 vehicles, capacity: 18,000

Total troop carrying capacity of all armored personnel carriers in all of NK : 53,424 men


So in a worst case scenario, NK says fuck it and moves every single last one of it's troop carrying vehicles out of positions of defense, the mechanized units could still only carry around 53,000 men. Given the size of the US/SK presence on the DMZ, I think it unlikely that such a force could demolish the border forces and gallop into Seoul, even with support of men on foot.


More to the point, such a move would be suicidal in the way it would leave NK exposed. I suspect that the NK military knows this and would not attempt it.

I think you and I really only disagree on the severity of an initial attack from NK. Personally, I think that the way they could achieve the element of surprise necessary is not through the banging-of-the-chest rhetoric they are currently spewing. Such behavior is bound to put SK forces on alert, as would mobilization of the military (more so than normal, that is.)

hmm rotary-wing, jet or multi-engine? Either way, Air Force should be in the clear. Actually, I doubt this will even last long enough to be dangerous to anyone, guess we'll see.

Yeah if this shit actually happens, and North Korea nukes us, there will be a winter- not the kind we can ski in tho. A nuclear winter.
I really hope it doesn't happen but it just shows how stupid nuclear war is. If North Korea starts something, we will obviously launch some counterstrikes, but so will Russia, China, and basically everyone with nuclear weapons. Within the month, the whole plannet will be wiped out.
A nuclear war could mean the extinction of human life as we know it.

please tell me your being sarcastic.

They wouldn't even have enough rocket fuel to get it past a quarter of the pacific ocean. Let alone deliver a payload even REMOTELY close to cause a nuclear winter. The bomb they detonated underground a month ago was 7-8 kilotons max, that's 1/3 of "little boy" that we dropped on Nagasaki ending WWII. In terms of nuclear warheads, it's basically regarded as a joke by any country with a nuclear warhead program. Little boy didn't cause a nuclear winter and wipe out the entire planet? I'm pretty sure I'm still here typing this today.

They couldn't reach us with a missile if we were completely defenseless with a giant sign that said "nuke us" on the West Coast. They simply do not have the technology. As it stands, with the largest and most advanced navy in the world, an extensive homeland missile defense system and intelligence in SK close at hand to give us plenty of notice, I'm not too worried.

Their program is shit, their first nuclear test wasn't until 2006, and the theoretically the strongest bomb the have tested was around 10 kt, not to mention all their missiles have fallen into the Sea of Japan. Even if they could reach us I'm pretty sure our missle defense system would end it somewhere over the pacific.

Btw I feel people should be more worried about the chemical warfare abilities NK has, compared to its dismal nuclear program
