"The U.S. has roughly 24,000 troops stationed in South Korea and approximately 40,000 in Japan, a significant and formidable military presence. Meanwhile, North Korea has roughly 1.2 million troops, approximately 11,000 artillery units and is believed to have around 60 nuclear weapons. The U.S. might be the more advanced and equipped
force, but it's widely agreed millions of innocent lives would be lost
if it went to war with KIm Jong Un's regime.
There's no guarantee North Korea's nukes would be wiped out before the country could retaliate, meaning millions of people—including 100,000 Americans living in the region—would be in imminent danger. Japanese
and South Korean civilians would be under direct threat, as would U.S.
troops and civilians stationed in those countries and in the nearby
U.S. territory of Guam"
Of course, if Kim already has the ability to hit soft city targets in
the US like Seattle, millions of US lives would be at risk of
molecular disintegration. It simply isn't known because there are
absolutely no spies in DPRK, it's as tight as a shark's arsehole.
### - look, he's selling japan the thaad system (+ other systems) to shoot
down anything going over their heads, right? he's angling to get 'them' to
do it...
so if ding-dong launches something and they shoot it down and NK nukes
japan in revenge (and yes am aware this IS an extreme example heh) you're telling me trumpy *wouldn't* DO something about it??
they're only 'looking' for an excuse currently thang! they can't preempt because of china's assertion to defend NK *unless* NK starts it first!
so ok, he doesn't 'nuke' japan (doesn't go 'that' far) but does
'something' in retaliation? (i dunno what but something, conventional weapons/firepower only maybe, some token reply only but something! (shoots
at japan's open land/sea/air space like he did once to SK when he shot up
some empty island of theirs killing half a dozen) - are you saying trumpy *wouldn't* stick to his promise to defend/protect his allies??
problem is... even only a conventional weapons exchange would quickly
escalate into something far more deadly! and if that's the case the US
couldn't then actually 'afford' to give old ding-dong even a fighting
chance! thus, basically, IF and/or WHEN nk shoots at 'anyone' they're
gonna have to massively take him out one-time *before* he can do anything worse!
personally, am of the opinion that being 'aware' in-advance that japan is
gonna shoot something down, the US (and all other forces gathered there)
will likely have to act immediately to 'forestall' ANY reply BEFORE
ding-dong even has the CHANCE to?
that considering the horrible threats & remarks old ding-dong has made to
the US (and others) i think they wanna punish him now? (ya can't say shit
like that to america and nothing happens ffs??) fuck him up in the worst
way if only as an example to others of just what to expect if/when they're
all riled up! (which is precisely, cough-cough, if ya think about it, what
they did to japan & nagasaki that time as an example to russia and anyone
else not to FUCK with 'em!)
there's prolly 100's of reason why NK *can't* be taken out thang,
shouldn't BE taken out! good logical reasons not to, the danger of war and
all the rest of it! it's unthinkable! but i just don't see the US is ever
gonna 'allow' themselves to even LOOK weak or indecisive in the face of
such danger & threats! he's openly threatened to NUKE the USA!?!? (lol
even the russians weren't stupid enough to do that! the threat was only
ever 'implicit' never overt!)
meanwhile, ding-dong has stopped launching! so the thaad system in japan +
the open threat (from japan) to shoot anything flying over their heads +
what that could all lead to, puts even more pressure on NK not to fire
anything off over in THAT direction!
but if he can't launch OVER japan then he can't reach the US!
so is ding-dong gonna let them DO that do ya think? let them lock him
down??
how can he threaten the US if he CAN'T fire anything over japan??
trouble is; put a rat in a corner and it's likely to jump atcha?
and there they all are currently, surrounding him, waiting for him to even twitch!
all on full nuclear alert just in case!
you can cut the tension with a knife?
else... ding-dong suddenly sees sense and rolls over??
(even then i think they wanna punish him? he's GOT to go!)
can ya just see the breaking news?: NK *accepts* regime change rather than
die!
riiiight.....
