April 7, 20179 yr The US could win the war in a week, now would we rebuild the country is the question.
April 7, 20179 yr The US could win the war in a week, now would we rebuild the country is the question. Only in return for $1.00/barrel oil?
April 7, 20179 yr If he knows this he is more dangerous than ever. He knows it. That is why he keeps eliminating his own generals, his own brother, etc. He is paranoid and rightfully so.
April 7, 20179 yr You have said this twice, now, in this thread. Under what information are you forming that opinion? Speculation and a gut feeling. As stated in the post above, Kim has been killing his own generals, an uncle, his brother ... this all to get rid of possible threats. I think by doing this though he will create fear and paranoid feelings among other generals who will beat him to the punch and get rid of him before Kim kills them.
April 7, 20179 yr I find the tough talk vis-a-vis North Korea action interesting in that most of it comes without a care in the world of the idea of the US getting in a ground war with a country with 5X the population of the US. Are we really thinking this through? We did this once from 1950-53 and little was solved. Do we really think the Chinese wouldn't love to see what they're all about against us in the Korean peninsula again?
April 7, 20179 yr Well this adds a new wrinkle to the game. Kim Jong-un SCRAMBLES as Seoul able to strike ANYWHERE in North Korea | World | News | Express.co.uk KIM JONG-UN is facing check-mate after South Korea successfully test-fired a ballistic missile which can strike anywhere in his North Korea hermit kingdom. An unnamed South Korean source said the ballistic missile has a range of 800 kilometres - bringing everywhere from North Korea’s capital of Pyongyang to the state’s northern border with China into range. This aerial bombardment is even possible when the missile is fired from South Korea’s southern tip. A South Korean defence source confirmed: “There was a test-firing recently of a Hyunmoo-type ballistic missile with a range of 800km at the Anheung test site of the Agency for Defense Development (ADD) under the wing of the Defense Ministry. “It’s assessed that it was successful.”
April 7, 20179 yr Send in a sniper Does that solve the problem? Did taking out Sadaam fix things in Iraq?

Yeah, if China gets involved, they won't be coming across the border with 32 caliper burp guns, as they did in 1950.
April 7, 20179 yr Yeah, if China gets involved, they won't be coming across the border with 32 caliper burp guns, as they did in 1950. Right. Global politics have changed a lot since 1953, or 1973, or even 10 years ago. All I'm saying is how far do we play the brinksmanship game? Does the rest of the world back down now? Or do they double down?
April 7, 20179 yr Does that solve the problem? Did taking out Sadaam fix things in Iraq? I don't are about the problem. I just like snipers :lol2:
