The Americans are provoking the North by parking their Battleship right up Kims Bum. the North have said. "Don't park that thing here, or near my border as its a sign of provocation. If you do those drills on Sunday we will go to war. you have been warned"..

my question is this.. WHY is America provoking the Idiot?
unless of course America is looking for an excuse ?
why not just do the drills elsewhere?

anyway folks, if war was to happen, the initial damage would be quick and Seoul will burn within minutes.. this is real folks... the damage would be 100 times worse than that of hirosima

1000 nuketip missiles hitting seoul will burn it to the ground and leave 20 million people in panic, 30% dead and the country ruined in 10 minutes.

goodluck to those living near military bases.

I believe this will not happen.. BUT if it did.. it would be catastrophic...

I don't need to paint a picture for you.. you can imagine . just think every disaster movie, every war movie you have seen and now think 50x worse.
this country would take 30years to recover, but finally it would be reunited as one.

but hey, we all know Kim is just blowing smoke as usual. but anyway.
worse case.. goodluck folks...

1000 nuketip missiles? Are you crazy? The Norks don't have a single nuke capable of being attached to a missile. They might manage a bomb in a truck but it'd be a pretty weak one anyway. The 11,000 pieces of artillery pointed at Seoul are much scarier than any nukes.

Also, the North don't want a war. They're not ready to suicide out just yet. So they will shut up for the few days the Americans are here for the wargames, then when the Americans head back to Japan the Norks might get snarky again.

Pyeongyang is so close to Seoul geographically that North Korea would never nuke it... Pyeongyang would get all of the nuclear fallout, and would be destroyed anyway.

The north don't have a choice. Winter is coming and there is no food left so they are either a) going to go down all guns blazing or if it is b) The military are in charge instead of the Kim family - this is probably a tactic to save themselves from another famine. A regime change without anyone being branded a 'traitor' if and when it all goes *beep* up.

China are not going to risk what they have now for North Korea thats for sure but they will have a huge say in the new North Korean govenment so expect the PLA to invade and take over Pyongyang when the scud missles start raining down.

Yes - there is going to be war - sooner than later too.

I don't think North Korea even has any functional nukes OR ICBMs. They could hit Seoul with conventional artillery perhaps but their troops wouldn't even make it across the border before being completely torched. The idea of North Korea conquering Seoul is laughable. The US/ROK combined forces would notice any troop mobilization at the border in plenty of time to squash it.

First, take 10 deep breaths and relax.

Backing off would be a sign of geo-political weakness. That is not what you want to project towards these f****. If and when the North unleashes their artillery towards Seoul they would be crushed relatively quickly following. They know this, and they're certainly more of a rational actor than that. I guarantee we have nuclear submarines parked off of the coast as we speak just waiting for a reason. Not that we would drop a nuc on them, but they surely know that we are here.

What I have been thinking about is how long it would take to evacuate Seoul in preparation for a preemtive strike on NK. I think using buses and taking everyone to Busan or Gwangju it could be done inside 3 days. Then this situation could be solved for good and NK would have little chance of inflicting casualties. Just nuke and napalm the lot.

Also the charge that the US and SK exercises are provocations is not true. The exercises will be 100km south of that Island in undisputed SK waters. They need realistic practice in the same conditions. Of course it is a show of force but it is as much to reassure SK their ally is in it with them 100%. The US runs joint exercises annually with Australia and other allies. It is vital.

If the Americans start evacuating the families of US military/diplomatic staff, then I'll take notice...

Till then, it's the same old B.S. that can be easily dismissed...
