    Why would you not want to be in Seoul right now? Im aware of whats going on.

    Im asking why you are scared of Seoul at this time.

    Real outright conflict is not healthy for the highly profitable empire expansion -

    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.

    I would not have any fear of traveling there right now.

    Not to worry.

    Nature will select a purposeful and particular population extermination.

    The world will rest easier.

    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.

    even if this doesn't become a nuclear conflict (and i don't think it will), there are 20 million people in seoul who are well within range of north korean conventional weapons.

    this situation is extremely volatile, and it if does set off, the people of seoul will not escape unscathed.

    for that reason, i wouldn't want to be in seoul right now.

    capiche?

    if not, too bad.

    I appreciate the geography lesson, but basically what you are saying is that you are an extremely dramatic little bitch who's afraid of his own shadow.

    Meanwhile South Koreans have been living like this for decades barely giving a fuck.

    And no, I would not have even the slightest little pang of fear hopping on a plane to Seoul.

    Not even an internet badass, you're just a sissy.

    And extremely unlikely that the US is willing to make it less volatile by not playing chicken with Armageddon.

    If the US backed off, would they change?

    The NORKs are no threat. I really don't understand why people are getting so upset. Are memories really so short? I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than 10 to 20 million killed, tops. Depending on the breaks.
