NK needs to be dealt with now before they can deliver a payload here. NK should have been dealt a knock-out blow a decade ago. A spoiled child needs correction not pandering.

"I suggest people pray for the troops on the border in SK and for the people of Seoul. " Good idea. "BUT we have to consider what happens next? " There is no sign that this is part of the administration's planning process, on anything. "What will China do if we attack and get into a war w/ NK? " What did they do last time we invaded NK during wartime? The Korean War: The Chinese Intervention The Chinese Intervention 3 November 1950-24 January 1951 They came out of the hills near Unsan, North Korea, blowing bugles in the dying light of day on 1 November 1950, throwing grenades and firing their "burp" guns at the surprised American soldiers of the 8th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Cavalry Division. Those who survived the initial assaults reported how shaken the spectacle of massed Chinese infantry had left them. Thousands of Chinese had attacked from the north, northwest, and west against scattered U.S. and South Korean (Republic of Korea or ROK) units moving deep into North Korea. The Chinese seemed to come out of nowhere as they swarmed around the flanks and over the defensive positions of the surprised United Nations (UN) troops. Within hours the ROK 15th Regiment on the 8th Cavalry?s right flank collapsed, while the 1st and 2d Battalions of the 8th Cavalry fell back in disarray into the city of Unsan. By morning, with their positions being overrun and their guns falling silent, the men of the 8th Cavalry tried to withdraw, but a Chinese roadblock to their rear forced them to abandon their artillery, and the men took to the hills in small groups. Only a few scattered survivors made it back to tell their story. The remaining battalion of the 8th Cavalry, the 3d, was hit early in the morning of 2 November with the same "human wave" assaults of bugle-blowing Chinese. In the confusion, one company-size Chinese element was mistaken for South Koreans and allowed to pass a critical bridge near the battalion command post (CP). Once over the bridge, the enemy commander blew his bugle, and the Chinese, throwing satchel charges and grenades, overran the CP.

Brumar, The coming Korean war I don't think Trump would preemptively strike North Korea. That seems rather reckless, even for him. The real question is whether Kim Jong-Un is crazy enough to launch a nuke. Unlike his two predecessors, there is reason to believe that self-preservation is not a value that Kim Jong-Un prioritizes. So he may be looking to go down swinging. And unfortunately there is almost no way to prevent massive amounts of casualties given how close Seoul is to the DMZ and how urban and densely packed the area is. As for China, they have been steadily losing their patience with North Korea. If they did move thousands of troops to the North Korean border, it'll likely be for trying to keep out refugees rather than engaging against American forces. China already has a refugee problem, which the UN cannot acknowledge because of China's veto power. Finally, there are reports that the people of North Korea are waking up from their brainwashing. Thanks to videos smuggled in via USB drives, most of them know what life is like in South Korea, and they are no longer buying the North Korean narrative. (Which currently is that South Korea is patiently waiting to reunite with their North Korean brothers and sisters, but the evil Americans are preventing that.) How will this end? Who the F knows? Your guess is as good as mine. Tenchusatsu

Cut the BS trumper stuff. sure it's a tricky situation. NK has a million man army. Their missiles are mobile launched. Seoul ain't that far. If it was me I'd starve em out. China would help. Have to fortify the borders because they'll be coming one way or another.
