If only the world didn't require selling out the American people for the benefit of people that hate our values and conspire against us. Am I right?

Joxua Luxor - You seem to hate our values enough without worrying what other think. One of the things we value is rational thought. many of the things you suggest are pure fantasy. For example if you kill the current Kim the next in line steps up, that is if you can manage to kill him at all.

Joxua Luxor - I meant to communicate that your plan was overly simplistic, completely unrealistic and showed a stunning lack of understanding of military operations. I have no idea what your follow on comment is supposed to mean.
1) "Without any warning" - the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has sophisticated early warning systems. Achieving complete surprise is not possible across the entire nation. DPRK (Human Intelligence) HumInt sources will put the DPRK on notice of unusual activity amongst conventional forces throughout the Pacific. DPRK assets will increase their military alert posture. The DPRK will also receive advance notice of force dispositions from Electronic Intelligence (ElInt), and Satellite Intelligence sources of their own,The People's Republic of China (PRC) and probably Russia. Complete jamming of all systems is not possible, and is in and of itself a warning of impending action.
2) "...we drop a series of very LOUD bombs that explode, in the air, above the populace and create a lot of noise (but kill nobody)." We do not have the munitions and delivery means to blanket cover the entire militarily significant population of a Nation the size of the DPRK with simultaneous munitions strikes, let alone munitions strikes and propaganda strikes. Nor do we have 100% targeting data for every "war craft."
3) A regime that is irrational, and facing imminent destruction will lash out. Given the enormity of the footprint of our action, most likely the entire DPRK nuclear arsenal and conventional forces would be put into action. Our allies and possibly some portions of the US would suffer enormous damage. Furthermore, the US would become a pariah state. There is also a strong possibility that our rash action could trigger a pre-emptive strike by a third belligerent, seeking advantage while our assets are disposed for an improbable strike against the DPRK
4) Given that complete surprise is impossible, and the limitation of real munitions vs. Hollywood munitions. the likelihood that Kim Jong Un is killed in a surgical strike is highly unlikely.
I do not wish to be cruel, but the plan you outlined is not a plan. It is nonsense.

Sometimes simple plans succeed in complex situations, however in this case I sincerely doubt any of this would work. NC has to many capabilities, many of which are not precisely known. The regime is so well established that should even half it's leaders fall, the other half would likely be able to sustain retaliation and war that would kill 10s of thousands of people or more. I just don't believe that the plans stated are realistic.

Since the Koreans are not children they will ignore the special effects and realize that we will actual do nothing significant. They will interpret it as an a military attack and hundreds of thousands or millions people, who are out friends will die.
