B-2 Bombers to Korea

[COL Jagdog]

If we are going to rattle sabers, why do it with a stealth aircraft that you can hardly see? The B-1 is a much more impressive sight. Send a couple of those, and watch those N. Koreans get religion.

The reason is that the B-2 (which they cannot track nor pinpoint) "pings" 8 or 10 primary targets in North Korea while in a stand-off position (yet still in close proximity, considering weapon's range; i.e. steerable bombs/cruise missiles); the pings 10 secondary targets -- which adds a considerable amount of angst to the thought process of the NKPA High Command and sends the message to them that "we own you".

NKPA simply needs to justify it's existance and first-priority call on assets (food, fuel, weapon development, etc) by
these interminable displays of faux aggression (which they have been doing for about 60 years) -- yes, they could go a
"bridge too far" one day, but it would come at a terrible price to their country and society.

What would be the affect of a concrete filled bomb delivered by a missle fired from a nuclear submarine into the NK presidential residence?

Eye opening?

A waste of good concrete

 

[COL Jagdog]

Yeah! Isn't this situation, and similar, why we developed the neutron bomb?

Air-burst use of B61/B83 weapons or the late W series (W78-W87) on missiles -- equals a lot less radioactive debris and an improved shock wave to destroy more infrastructure -- leaves a destroyed but "cleaner" landscape.

Just send Tony Stark... he'll take care of things. :-D

Neither nk or South Korea are of any significance to the U.S.

I take it you haven't looked closely at a kitchen appliance or a piece of home electronics gear in about forty years...

 

[cmort666]

....and a tailor.

So, who in North Korea is going to tell him he looks like "Eraser Head" who buys off the rack at Target?

If nobody will tell him that kind of thing, who's going to tell him he can't defeat the United States, South Korea, and Japan?

 

[cmort666]

NK is just looking for attention, like any other spoiled brat. They probably want to be bribed by food, since they are starving. (Except for Kim!)

The Japanese were looking for attention in 1941.

They got plenty of it too.

The Japanese empire was a lot saner country in 1941 than North Korea is today.

It would be dangerous to assume that Kim Jong Un actually knows that he CAN'T destroy the United States. If you were a North Korean marshal and he said to you, "We can wipe the United States off the face of the earth before they can do anything, RIGHT?", what would YOU tell him? A lot of people would think that getting nuked later is better than getting fed feet first into a woodchipper now...

 

[cmort666]

Do you folks really think that President Obama would ever use a nuclear weapon?

I don't. Can we imagine the liberal response to a nuclear weapon? And the CHILDREN.... oh, the children...

If say for instance, North Korea nuked Seoul or Tokyo, much less Guam or some other U.S. territory, and Obama DIDN'T nuke him back, one of two things would happen:

1. He would be impeached in days.
2. There would be a Turkish style military coup in the United States.

Obama's a lot of things, very few of them any good, but a pacifist isn't one of them.

 

[cmort666]

anyone hear the news today? Kim supposed signed a order putting rockets on standby to fire at US targets. There was also a map behind him showing targets on US soil.

I believe that one of the targets was San Antonio.

I believe that he could probably nuke Seoul or Tokyo, even if he had to put the bomb on a pallet and fly it there on an AN-12.

Any missile he currently has has as much chance of hitting Texas from North Korea as it does of hitting Gallifrey.

That of course doesn't mean that he couldn't put a crude nuclear device on a false flagged freighter and sail it some place, like Galveston.

 

[cmort666]

I don't see why people are panicking about NK.. NK knows that they will be turned in ashes if 1 rocket leaves the ground.
They don't have the technology nor money to be a real threat. So why do we let them play with us?

A lot of people were saying the same thing in 1941.

How'd that work out?

It's not your assessment of reality which determines whether war will happen. It's your wouldbe attacker's.

Attacking the United States in 1941 was sheer insanity for the Japanese. It was obvious that the United States would destroy them if anything but an outright upfront American surrender happened. So since they'd already decided to attack us, they just assumed that we'd roll over. When we didn't, not only did they ignore the fact that we were going to destroy them, they as much as said they didn't CARE.

North Korea is a nation of Adam Lanzas run by a Cho Seung Hui. Would you have bet your life that Cho was just "fooling around" at Virginia Tech?

It's absolutely unavoidable that sometimes madmen will get hold of firearms. Sometimes they get hold of COUNTRIES.
