Chinese soldiers at the North Korean and Chinese border !?

Three scenarios popped up in my head

1. China and USA have during their meeting made some kind of deal regarding NK-Maybe China are to invade NK down to and the capital and the rest is below that line is for...

2. China know USA is going to strike NK and that would mean that it could turn into a regional war and thereby sending millions of citizens from NK towards China and to preventing them to run into China they have positioned soldiers there.

3. China are well aware that USA is going to hit NK's military installation and thereby sending the area into a war, and as NK's big brother they will send troops into NK to stand side by side with their brothers in the fight against USA, SK and perhaps JP.

Or the could be a fourth scenario which I haven't been thinking of.

I suppose anything is possible. But to suddenly out of the blue start a major conflict with China makes absolutely no sense. I think the focus of both parties are on getting rid of fat boy. That's my guesss.

Yes, that is why I wondered if the forces would stay massed in one area at the border (attack position) or they would spread out to augment the border guard units (defense position).

I am not quit sure what the U.S. would do a s far as an attack.

Am hearing about the Chinese and Russian AGI ships rushing to the area. There was news about them 3-4 weeks ago when the C. Vinson showed up. Wooptie-do.

Speaking of the AGI (Navy), how many subs do the Chinese have a sea?

Even Russia alerted some of Ground Forces units in the Far East and moved the Slava class cruiser out of the ROK just in case.

Not many F35s are around. Japan is just starting to get them. So they have little experience. Korea wants them but the budget keeps getting in the way.

The F35 really excels at inter-connectivity to support battlefield management. Neither country is up on that.

But the Americans will save us!

Sorry for having derailed your thread a little.

If there will, as the title of the thread said. a Strike on North Korea it will at first hand be with TLAM(Tomahawk) and B2 Bombers. Any use of the new F-35 will if this strike would make NK furious and hit back and thereby escalating everything. Or they will be used in a second strike, if there are to be more than one strike on NK.

On that we can both agree.

Agreed. We knew where he was during that stupid parade, we should have sent in a Tomahawk and knocked him out right then.

Yes, why not? Do we always have to follow the rules? Tell South Korea to get ready and then take him out and lets see what happens next. Ooooh, it might start a war! Yeah, well its coming anyway.
