Strike on North Korea

[Skybird]

^ Who cares. Ill-build missiles have a risk of falling apart in flight all by themselves, and it seesm that quite some Iraqi Scuds suffered that fate and then got wronly scored as Patriot-kills.

The debris then crashes on the ground, if it is not travelling at speeds in excess of escape velocity. And that debris could stray onto Japanese soil.

Kim plays foul all the time. Why should we limit our options by sticking to bureaucratic "rules"?

Better it would be to have naval assets near the coast and shoot any NKorean missile as soon as possible after launch, preferrably over NKorean soil. I am confident that this language, while not sticking to "rules", nevertheless is understood very wel in Pyongyang.

If and it's only If Trump decide to punish Kim I'm sure it will be little needle stick operation where he give order to some Subs to send some TLAM against 2-3 different military and/or industrial complex

What will happen thereafter I can only guess

It can goes from Kim does nothing and he send everything he has of missiles and ICBM toward USA and its Allieds.

What would be good is to intercept one of NK's warships, take it over some how then release it just to prove a point!! Kim would go nuts but wouldn't be enough for him to retaliate with missiles. It would be like slapping him in the face with gloves!!

An interesting article by the BBC

Sounds about right, plus B-1 bombers, B-52 bombers and a hundred tomahawks, plus jet fighters in the air to protect the bombers, plus artillery to counter the NK atillery, plus it will make NK so mad they will launch anything they have at South Korea and we don't really know what that is, perhaps a nuc warhead with a contact explosive (hope it's a dud) on a mobile launcher. Then the ground troops will have to wear gas mask, because NK is not going to take any attack lightly and will use all of their weapons at their disposal. In other words they don't have anything left to lose.

Not good Markus plus our higher up's agree it's going to be a messy war. One that we don't want to start, but one that President Trump is not going to keep backing down from.

I like this one Reece but don't give it back, but put it on display and charge admission with the NK crew onboard behind bars to be laughed at.

Better yet capture a NK submarine in South Korean waters and make it surface and keep it afloat and tow it to port.

I also have, as mentioned before some discussion with other friends and friends friend on social media.

Saying to them-You seems to forget that an action create a counter-action and each of these counter-action create new counter action and so on.
And
It's easy to sit behind the computer and write things like "Drop a nuke on NK and it will all be over" You seem to forget all about the fallout and other secondary damage such a nuke would give, if USA dropped on NK.

Have also read stuff like-USA has Patriot and now THAAD they can easily take on NK's middle age rockets- Me: Do not put all your money on these systems-They are good but not 110 % effective.

Precisely! And we have not forgotten.

RT has this breaking story

North Korea has developed a new, more advanced hydrogen nuke that is small enough to be fitted on a new intercontinental ballistic missile, state media KCNA has claimed.

Don't know how trustworthy this story is.

Recent earthquake in NK gets attributed to this explosion. Now waiting for the Donald's thunderous reply. In words.

I wonder how reliable intel is on NK's storage of all nuke warheads.

SK I expect to become a big problem in the unlikely case of the US going after Kim'S nukes for real. I do not take it for granted that the US could count on the south's support for preparing a surprise take-out-strike.

NK should have been dealt with already a very long time ago. Now it probably is too late. Welcome to an even more unstable, unsecure and unpredictable world and an even more brutalised SE Asia. Congrats to Bejing, they got what they wanted: a second front against the US in any future upcoming war. NK will bind a lot of ressources of US allies in the region, and is in principle untouchable now or in the very near future. Only that it is driven by a far less rational regime than China.

Hitler wanted to destroy Germany and all Germans when he relaised that he could no longer win the war, he said the Germans do not deserve to survive if they cannot win this war. The same could happen in SE Asia as well. And Hitler had no nukes.

SEOUL, Sept. 3 (Yonhap) -- Top South Korean and U.S. military officers agreed Sunday to take
military measures against North Korea for its latest nuclear test.
In a phone call with Gen. Joseph Dunford, chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS),
his South Korean counterpart Gen. Jeong Kyeong-doo stressed the need for "effective military
responses" to the provocation aimed at demonstrating the allies' force and resolve, according to
Jeong's office.

Dunford voiced support for the offer and vowed cooperation, as they agreed to discuss all military
measures against the North under the spirit of the alliance, it added.

Jeong also had phone talks with Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, commander of the U.S. Forces Korea and
the allies' Combined Forces Command, shortly after news broke of the North's sixth nuclear test earlier in the day.

They agreed to take combined military measures against North Korea as early as possible, said South Korea's JCS.

The US has joined North Korea's regional neighbours in condemning the secretive communist state's latest nuclear weapons test.
