US 'to launch PREEMPTIVE STRIKE if North Korea conducts NUCLEAR weapons test'

The article is about a retaliatory attack if we strike first.
[h=3]KIM JONG-UN has warned he will retaliate with a nuclear attack if America launches a strike on North Korea.[/h]

This is exactly the sort of strategic paralysis that has gotten us to this point with NK. Sooner or later Bowl Cut will lob a nuke at someone.

I prefer it not be Seattle.
 
I have no doubt they can run a C 130 over NK with protection. But at what risk?

The same risk taken by Allied bombers during WW 2. It comes with the job. And none of these dimwits would make a pimple on the ass of the least of these brave souls who place themselves in danger to protect these idiot's right to protest their efforts.
 
I'm sure we could figure out an alternative delivery system.

"Currently operational launch vehicles with demonstrated heavy-lift capability to LEO include:

Ariane 5 ECA & ES 1996 to present - European Space Agency (ESA) Payload to LEO: 21,000 kg (46,000 lb)[3]

Delta IV Heavy 2004 to present - United Launch Alliance (ULA) World's highest capacity rocket currently in operation. Payload to LEO: 28,790 kg (63,470 lb)[4]"

If the US has the air defenses of N.Korea targeted already with reliable intel.....the navy could take out the majority of N. Korean Air defenses in hours....while the US has the bomber group in the air....protected by the best fighter pilots in the world. The air bases in Japan are not that far from the Korean Peninsula.

That is all true. Taking out N Korea would not be difficult. It is the other potential nations that would jump in that is the problem. That being said, did anyone notice what the President of China said yesterday? Right after Trump dropped that bomb? He promised to start coming down hard on N. Korea and their nuclear ambitions. First time any Chinese leader has done that.

Some people noticed.

That's a big story but you wouldn't know it based on the coverage.

Technology has advanced a bit since WWII.

Why take the risk when you don't need to?

If they managed to take out a C-130 it would be a huge propaganda victory for Kimmy.

I'm not macho so I don't care about making a man bet re: avatars. :D

What is your definition of "without provocation"?

My parameters are, if Kim fires a missile at our ship, that's provocation.

LOL, man bet. That is funny.

Then you proceed to bet me. :)

I accept your parameters, but would also add, if Kim fires a missile at any target outside of NK.

And we don't have to do the name/avi thing, just a friendly bet. Fair?

True ... the problem is that the citizens of Seoul are basically his hostages. Tons of NK artillery bunkered in the mountains facing the city.

I don't know anything about the NK Air Force.

There are huge numbers of artillery aimed at Seoul, it has been estimated that at least 500,000 rounds could be fired in an hour causing many casualties. Apparently Bill Clinton considered a preemptive strike on North Korea in 1994 but backed off because he deemed it to be too risky.

If you are going to take out the ability of this nation to do damage to their neighbors.....there must be quick and total destruction of their ability to use any type of nuclear weapons. The only way to accomplish this is as always.... man power used to its maximum capacity to ensure the desired results, nothing beats human intelligence when directing warfare. The US has the best trained and equipped air force and navy in the world. If N. Korea's potential is not neutralized quickly and decisively....SOUL will be ashes along with 20 million S. Korean's

That's exactly why the very least method should include bunker buster technology.....but if there are enough of the Moab's it would take but a few. The action must be fast, planned, and decisive or Soul is toast.
