Default Strike on North Korea

From the subsim frontpage:
http://www.businessinsider.com/us-na...h-korea-2017-3

Quote:
The annual Foal Eagle military drills between the US and South Korea will include some heavy hitters this year — the Navy SEAL team that took out Osama bin Laden, Army Special Forces, and F-35s — South Korea's Joon Gang Daily reports.
My initial reaction is that of course we should have plans in place for most foreseeable scenarios. This one is looking more and more relevant as time passes.

But then the f-35's got me. I was under the impression these were not in active service yet, but perhaps I'm wrong. I can see a few being used in a training exercise, but not on actual missions yet. Seems more of an F-22 thing anyways. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

From what I understand, they performed extremely well during testing.

The article mentions that they'll supplement the F-22's alongside other assets. Personally, I'm not a fan of the F-35 but it'll be interesting to see how it performs in the real world whenever and wherever that may be.

I think that if North Korea can come right out and say they are practicing nuking the US or Japan or wherever....we can practice to stop them.

According to some American(can't remember his/her name and title)said to some news agency, that USA kept every possibility open.

When he said that(through a Swedish news program) I knew that we very soon will see some kind of military action against NK- On the other hand, I'm very bad to predict coming events

Edit: Have an additional question- How far is NK in they developing their Nukes-I know they have nukes, but can they add these to their short and medium range missiles ?

All these weapon systems are futures and what is had, is in limited numbers and they have a lot f commitments as it is...it seems. We just got a squadron of F35 aircraft in Tucson (or will), and I think it is number four in the States.

It was Rex Tillerson our Secretary of State that said: "All of the options are on the table". Which I believe included preemtive strikes and bringing back U.S. nuclear weapons to the peninsula.

Oh, what the hell...

Let Trump flex his muscles (putting a severe strain on his tiny, tiny hands as he tries to clench his fists) and let him go ahead and initiate military action, create a highly unpredictable crisis, and destabilize yet another region of the world; I mean, it worked so extremely well the last time a POTUS got an inexplicable bug up his lower extremity of his torso and tried to prove his manhood: Trump can even strut out of the White House with a big "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED" banner behind him...

What could possibly go wrong?...

As I pointed out in another topic we abided by the North/South nuke free zone agreement many years ago and removed our nuclear weapons in the early nineties. Since that time the only one flexing muscle, making threats, developing and testing nuclear weapons and delivery systems is the DPRK. I think what Tillerson said was more for China's ear to hear to help set the tone for his visit with them, than an immediate threat of war with North Korea.


we have allowed them to kill off thoughtful and intelligent discussion. All hail the party, toe the line and long live the divide!

Actually the Bilge has been contacted by the Oval office as our plan has been deemed the only viable method to get close to 'Revered Fatboy'
Ya never know who's monitoring this forum in the Pentagon or CIA Langley BBY! http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showpost.php?p=2270386&postcount=844 It seems we were not out of line...merely premature.... by two years! (slight update to original (2014) post...Include his recently murdered half- brother to the uncle-victim list! As with 'the Donald..."family comes first"??!!)

Thank you, that was his name.

At the same time the author created this thread I made a discussion about the same on my FB-wall. There I wrote USA will not do anything without having discussed this with China and furthermore,
for the first time a Seal Team is a part of this upcoming exercise, what this mean I can't tell, someone mentioned that their job was to "cut of the snakes head"(my words) in NK
I wonder if China would approve this, ´cause its unthinkable that USA would take should steps against NK without having discussed this with China

A good point, but, remember, the US currently has a POTUS who seems to believe the "unthinkable" is an acceptable norm...

The Leader of China just finished having dinner with President Trump in Florida USA. After this meeting the Chinese turned back a shipment of NK coal that they intended to sell to China. With China being the main trading partner with NK it seems that China can persuade the leader of NK to cool his jets a bit. The NK Leader can talk his BS all he wants but he knows better to launch into a major war with the USA.

Now this is scarier to me. I lived thought the Cuban Missile Crisis back in the 1960's and the teachers at my grammar school taught us to hide under our desks. Even back then when I was in the 4th grade I knew it would be all over if we got into a nuclear war with Russia. We had a saying back then if war broke out. Bend over and kiss your A** goodbye. Even little kids know what it means to have a nuclear war. And that was back in the 1960's. The nuclear weapons we have today are 100's times more powerful and would destroy the entire earth in a matter of minutes. You need to remember the dangers or radiation and the dangers of the fall out in the air and water if nuclear bombs were ever exploded in the air in numbers.

Default retaliation against North Korea ?

(to the moderators. Merge this with the Other North Korea thread, which I can't find)

About 30 minutes ago I saw on the primetime news, the Danish Journalist who's an political expert on USA, saying

"In the United States, between the politicians on both sides, there is a broad consensus that North Korea should be punished for the killing of Otto Warmbier

He also said.

They are a little dubious about this because they are afraid North Korea Will retaliate by attacking South Korea or Japan.
