Small proxy wars. Not a problem.
From the top of My head Seoul is close to the North Korean parallel line, it's not far enough away from a good artillery barrage.
And from what I read, most south koreans are literally going about their daily lives without much of a thought of whats coming out of the North.Quote:

Small wars. Big problem.
WW1: Static Warfare, mostly Western Europe. Earliest beginnings at Congress of Vienna. Territorial War between nations and empires. Mostly affected armies. Massive casualties. Ended by conquest.
WW2: Global conflagration. Earliest beginnings at Treaty of Versailles. Ideological and territorial war between nations, empires and belief systems. Affected all people in all countries involved. Massive casualties. Ended by conquest.
WW3: Global Warfare, mostly Middle and Far East and Central Asia. Global incidence of small wars and individual actions linked by religious ideology. Beginning 1990 after Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Ideological and religious. started as nation state versus nation state but rapidly devolved into nation states versus multiple non-state actors. One side conventional armies, the other side hundreds of disparate guerrilla and partisan forces, many of which were created by overthrow and destruction of former nation states, and thousands of individuals aligned to ideologies but not to groups. A worldwide conflict with no end in sight. Minimal casualties per action but large numbers of deaths in total. Civilians are the main targets as only one protagonist has armies. No currently feasible end.

you've provided ample evidence on other threads that you're really not all that bright, but do yourself a favor and take a look at a map of the korean peninsula and take note of how close seoul is to the border. seoul's vulnerable location is one of the primary reasons why the US hasn't attacked north korea over the last two decades. clinton, bush and obama would have liked to have taken care of this mess during their administrations, but it's just too risky for the people living in seoul.Quote:

for that reason, i wouldn't want to be in seoul right now.
capiche?
if not, too bad.

If the US backed off, would they change?Quote:

Now, I will admit to my ignorance now.
I didn't realise that there is a pact between Nth Korea and China, implying that if you attack Nth Korea, China is duty bound to defend Nth Korea.
It puts, for me, a whole new perspective on the Korean Peninsula and the region in general.
Apart from Trump's ego and his falling popularity in the US, why, on Earth, is Trump pushing regime change?
Japan doesn't wish it, Sth Korea is scared of it, nor does China desire it.
The USA is half a world away.
Are there hidden oil reserves tucked away in Nth Korea? ... :rolleyes:
apparently the chief concern is that north korea will have the capacity to reach seattle with a missile in a couple of years time.Quote:

a couple....a few....several.....whatever it is, it's sooner than the US is comfortable with.
Did Trump forget he said this?

Trump would talk to North Korea's Kim
Wed May 18, 2016
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said on Tuesday he is willing to talk to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to try to stop Pyongyang's nuclear program, proposing a major shift in U.S. policy toward the isolated nation.
The presumptive Republican nominee declined to share details of his plans to deal with North Korea, but said he was open to talking to its leader.
"I would speak to him, I would have no problem speaking to him," he said.

Rick ? ... Nah !
But there is a bit of substance to the thought.
Mr Wilder, a former CIA deputy assistant director for East Asia and the Pacific, told (Australian) Lateline that North Korea could have a long-range intercontinental ballistic missile capable of reaching the US west coast within four years.The story is here.

Nope, only the consensus of several experts Neverna. Why are you bird dogging me again? Do you have to question everything I say? I guess these sources are incorrect?

Rickshopper, you questioned raycarey about being "privy to NK's actual missile delivery capabilities". To you, that was OK. But when I ask you the very same question, woah, I'm "bird dogging" you, whatever the fuck that means.
Of course, you are too thick to see the connection between my question and yours, even though they were only 4 minutes apart.
what kind of range do they have ?Quote:
good artillery barrage
4 years to reach America sounds like they're using my postmanQuote:

The Chinese proposal was that the Americans and South Koreans stop practicing the invasion of North Korea and the murder of the North Korean leadership and in return, North Korea would stop its nuclear and missile tests. The Americans rejected this.Quote:
