No doubt that we could wipe North Korea off the face of the earth in short order.......but an awful lot of people in the region would be casualties as well. And we have no way of knowing how China, or even Russia, would react to a nuke attack on one of their allies, and so close to their own territory. This could light the match to WWIII. Best to come up with a different approach. Trump does us no favors by strutting around like a fighting cock and shooting off his mouth.

Their won't be nuclear warfare that's too much of a problem not to mention certain world destruction. The best we could do is bomb military facilities and targets.

Previously China has stated that if the DPRK starts something, they will not assist them. However, if the DPRK is attacked preemptively, China will come to the DPRK's aid.

So as long as North Korea launches first, it's Game On!

During the Korean War Mao warned us that it was a Civil War and as long as we stayed in the south. When US troops went north the Chinese came in. Of course Those were "Peoples Volunteers". Those MIGs overhead weren't there either.

the big problem is that I don't think that they're acting alone. Sure we successfully intercepted an ICBM what difference is that going to make if Russia takes out our stss satellites with their new f235 anti-satellite ballistic missile. My belief is that they're working in tandem and I think before North Korea strikes that Russia intends to Blind us so that we can't see it coming. SPC Kevin Ford,COL Mikel J.

Thats the point, we're actually talking about the same program they DSP program is the SPSS satellites the twin satellites that track missile launchers so no Russia has been working on anti satellite missiles. Our Intel says that they successfully tested there at 2:35 and 2 satellite system at least as early as May last year. If Russia were to use their satellite system against stss we would be blind to any other incoming icbm's

And while I agree it would be the stupidest thing possible and every sane person knows that the first person to launch is killing the world who's to say that all the world's leaders are sane. I'm not sure we can even make that claim with regards to our own leader he is our president and so I would never see the opposite just out of respect but I definitely would never make the claim of him being sane as a matter of fact there's a very large consensus stating that he is narcissistic and it in being so makes him a danger to us into the world and he's in charge of our nukes so I'm pretty sure that Russia's leader is a little bit crazier than ours and while the hope would be that that would never come to pass at the same time especially when you're talking about the level of Devastation that would be enacted upon us and the planet where that to happen that the very possibility definitely needs to be taken into consideration

Somebody to fly up there and put some couple panels of liquid nitrogen around the darn thing it's already it's already communicating from a box of the unite regeon would not stop it or Orion Peter Communications whatsoever but it would make it maintain the temperature of space and appearance to any other systems which of course you know they can use our own tracking system they can hack that and tried our satellites but then reaching that point it still has to use its final systems and if it can't read it then it can be kind of like playing horseshoes

Talk to text definitely went off the radar there LOL let's try that again. If somebody were to enclose our satellite basically behind a panel of liquid nitrogen about 3 inches thick very thin carbon fiber or Plexi something like this that will not interfere with the communication cuz nitrogen itself will not interfere with communication and it would cause it to maintain in a parent's the same temperature as space rendering it invisible to heat finding heat sensing systems. Well certainly they could hack our system to see and track our satellites it's a publicly-accessible system anyway but being able to hack it would not be out of the question still even that being done that only gives them the general idea of where it will be based on where it is at any given time it would still have to utilize some type of finalize system to actually achieve its Target if there's no heat signature and it's not visible then I would be kind of like playing horseshoes

With Guam being a US territory, any attack would be seen as an act of war under international law. North Korea presents difficult choices; at one extreme conventionally face a lot of chemical weapons and fight through an entire nation that essentially is one huge militarized frontier, and at the other extreme, glass them. Both present huge lingering problems long after the war is over, but to me, none as devastating as allowing an attack on US soil to go unanswered.

SMSgt Warren Hill My problem (such as it is) isn't so much with NK's statement, that's par for the course. It is with Trump's statement. Trump didn't say NK would be "... met with fire and fury like the world has never seen" based on an attack on the US. He said that they would be met with that based on if NK made "...any more threats to the US."

NK has now made that threat and Trump's red line was crossed within hours. I don't think Trump will follow through any more than NK will. I guess our new foreign policy has moved to the making empty threats phase. Probably not great for our credibility. It wasn't great when Obama did it and it isn't great now that Trump is doing it too.
