North Korea threatens 'all-out war' over warship sinking report

[poiuytrewq0987]

My view is of sending a large Multi Allied Task force into the area, if the North Koreans want to escalate the situation then let them bring it on.
The Allies have more than enough war ships and submarines to handle a threat or attack, besides North Korea has been sabre rattling for more than 3o years now.

There isn't much point in trying to start another conflict with NK. It's better to wait for the government there to collapse or wait for the people to start their own revolution against the government like plenty of ex-communist countries did.

LOL, NK would get destroyed militarily by South Korean army in a conventional conflict.

SK will zergling rush NK and it'll all be over in less than five minutes.

But the North Koreans basically hold the South Korean capital hostage. And I don't think that they have located the artillery pieces by now..

That's still 30 miles from Seoul, out of effective range for most of their artillery, they could do some damage but they couldn't cause "million casualties".

Saddam has hided his mass destruction weapons there.

China is the key. China already has a massive NK immigrant problem and it doesn't want it's eastern region destabilized anymore than it already is. If NK is attacked they will obviously be taken out via strategical strikes but this would mean China's Eastern regions would be hit with tens of millions of starving North Koreans who would want to get out while the remaining NK generals fought over the country internally. I don't think China will just sit there while and watch as it's country is negatively impacted by a Korean conflict of epic proportions, it will pick a side, and the last side it picked historically speaking was the North Koreans, in which a million Chinese soldiers died.

Also the idea that NK can't take out Seoul is wrong they can easily, they have thousands of hidden missiles that they have publicly stated will level Seoul within a few moments of them being hit on any massive level. The allies would not be able to take out every missile site in time so it is inevitable that millions would die as well as likely all the U.S. soldiers on the border, another reason the U.S. doesn't want anything to happen.

Those of you who think this will be a turkey shoot against NK are dreaming. This isn't the USA vs Granada. It's also quite reasonable to assume that NK will nuke SK and have a pop at Japan for good measure. The whole thing will deteriorate into a huge clusterf***.

Sensible warmongers attack countries and people who have very little chance of defending themselves and retaliating. That's why it's usually USA vs Granada, USA vs Panama, USA vs Iraq, USA vs Serbia and so on. Beginning to see the pattern here?

Not sure what kind of artillery NK has but 30 miles is an easily achievable range for a decent relatively modern howitzer. NK has a massive army who aren't going to sit still and wait to be bombed either.

Their AA defenses are likely to be way more advanced than anything the ragheads can or could field making aerial attacks tricky.

I think NK should be annihilated and the troops should rape their women. Spoils of war, end of story.
