Bill: OT NK will get us to attack them, in spite of our best efforts to placate them. They will soon declare the armistice over, so in theory we are technicaly at war (again). Technically they would be at war with the UN. Then they would come under total blockade. Their leadership has a strange mentality going, which I can only describe as pathological jealousy of the South and Japan. That's driven by mass deprivation, and near starvation. It's classic and ugly. -Own PS: I don't think it would take 24/7, probably only a few hours, the locations of the launchers for their bigger stuff are well known. That assumes the plane is working, which it might not be. Missile silos can be taken out with bunker busters. Seoul would take a pounding from conventionals for a few weeks. I agree the NK military should know when to stop, but I think a number of them are infused with the pathology too.
