Hi Gizmo,
the Yanks have 28,000 soldiers in South Korea -
they would be under a ferocious attack too.

True, but there's the South Korean army, and the other UN nations would jump in too..

Might be tough on the US soldiers for a few days right at the start, but without Chinese backing (which NK doesn't seem to have this time) it'd be a fairly short conflict (if NK doesn't start lobbing low-yield nukes around, of course)

High Yanky casualties would cause a terrible US response.

Probably true. Although, it's not likely to be a surprise attack, after all N Korea has announced their intentions. So don't be surprised if the US troop numbers in S Korea climb sharply in the near future.
These days, it's not like you can marshal your troops behind a hill or grove of trees and gain the element of surprise.

The yanks are just humouring them now. Nobody here seriously thinks that North Korea would launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike do they? Claims of leader insanity or mention of "commies" will be ignored.

Nope, I don't think it will happen. I think it's just about looking tough in the eyes of the world, showing they aren't afraid (even if they are wetting their undies)

I hope it's all bluster.

I wouldn't worry about it. Between PAC-3, THAAD, SM-3, and thr GMD system the DPRK is perfectly aware that they don't have anything like enough missiles to saturate our ABM systems. Pyongyang is also fully aware that if they were ever dumb enough to do so we'd glass their entire civilization in less time than it takes most people to commute to work.

Right - he loves his people. But he has no mercy towards those who oppose him. If I were you, I'd pledge my allegaince to him now, so that he may spare your miserable life when he ascends to the global throne.

Chard - you didn't read my strategic advice -
missiles are not necessary to carry out the threat:

Quote:

The only way I can see that North Korea can hit the USA is
by using a nuclear mine dropped on a time delay fuse near the USA coast
from a North Korean submarine.

It goes without saying that the silent submarine service of the USA
must be following every North Korean sub wherever they go.

They have 20 Romeo class submarines (1,800 tons).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_People's_Navy

This strategic advice is provided by Bobby.

If you can't even get that much right then why using a diesel sub to lay a nuclear mine is an even dumber idea than using ICBMs is definitely going to sail over your head.
