Whats stopping us from just glassing North Korea?

whats stopping us from just glassing North Korea?

Would anyone really be upset by this?

Trump should tweet that he will force reunification of North and South Korea.

China. China doesn't want a western vassal state on their border but they don't want to deal with the mess that will be bringing North Korea to order.

CHYNA

The Chinese situation is changing. Now China does a lot more business with South Korea than North Korea. Many implications with this.

desu I think China is just waiting for True Korea to actually do something so they can surprise everyone by overthrowing the country and finally annexing it, while making it seem like they're the good guys.

Chinks don't want to lose their stronghold +Populace that's been brainwashed from birth to revere their leaders as gods. Can you imagine the outcome?

The north koreans will probably not like this option.

okay but I don't get why everyone is so afraid of NK

they have no food

they are 30 years behind technology wise

yet we are always condemning them and condemning them and they never listen

like a little twerp that keeps flicking you in the ear

why has no force been used?

china wouldn't risk war over NK? Sure they like the idea of NK being a vassal state, but would they really go to war over NK? I seriously doubt it.

>they are 30 years behind technology wise
How much has artillery changed in 30 years?
Sure new stuff can track multiple targets, but right now North Korea has most of their artillery aimed at Seoul, South Korea. It is impossible for the US and allies to destroy all of them at once and Seoul will be destroyed in the timeline that they are fired. There are 10 million people there. I imagine in an hour 2 million will be dead. By the end of the day 5 million will be gone. To say nothing of the other cities.

Will the US win the war, yes certainly. But North Korea will kill millions of people fighting a war they can't win.

China and the fact that NK essentially has a loaded gun at the head of SK and Japan with their numerous missile emplacements and artillery fortifications. Once they get some serious nuclear capable ICBM, things are going to turn really sour.

thats a really cute korean. we should get all of the cute korean girls out of north korea first

We mostly just care about our economic security with SK and Japan. If we attack NK, they will use all their power to fuck with their enemies in the region by trying to kill millions (especially the population of Seoul; which NK has countless missiles pointed towards)

We don't want a world war with China

You don't wanna invade a country who has a working nuclear arms and capable of firing missiles. That's the reason of the existance of the nuclear arms I guess, huh? Since DPRK is now able to fire slbm's, usa can reasses her sanction strategy, or start negotiations with china to fuck the NK from inside.

I don't think we should just start using nukes. It'll give the okay for other countries. And a lot of citizens are against the leader, we shouldn't just kill them.

We should fuck their shit up though.
1. They have labour camps and torture anyone who speaks out. Way worse than nazi Germany. If we stepped in for them, we should step in for NK.
2. They are constantly threatening us. It's only a matter of time before they get a nuke capable of hitting the states. We should enlist SK and Japan's help to invade them and take them down while we still can.

from what i understand is that north korea is the only thing keeping china out of south korea.

Because they are a threat. They aren't a threat right now, but they will be. People are afraid because sooner or later they will succeed in nuking a Western nation.

The fallout would be a bitch. I mean literal radioactive fallout.

We shouldve nuked pyongyang decades ago. Wouldve saved alot of suffering

Now theres w chance they nuke seoul which is one of the highest population density areas there is and an ally

>We shouldve nuked pyongyang decades ago.
That would have been a mistake, seeing as they were backed by the Soviet Union. The best strategy against NK is internal collapse, which will speed up the more we restrict or take away NK's allies. Under Trump, Russia is moving away from its Chinese and NK allies so that it can join the economic big boys. If we manage to somehow convince China that NK is too much of a burden, then NK's internal collapse will be swift.

>whats stopping us from just glassing North Korea?
50,000 sorks that will be immolated by the 10,000-some artillery trained on Seoul

>cannot be stopped
>James Bonds don't exist in real life

james bonds probably do exist in real life, but they keep that covert shit under wraps.

Actually I think firebombing would work better. Especially if the US firebombed their crops.

Because NK will be the new Vietnam

/thread

>Especially if the US firebombed their crops
What crops? There's no fucking food to eat in NK. All they get is from humanitarian help. When they make threats, it's practically a code for "more food pls".

no it won't. outback posters should just stick to shitposting instead of thinking.

99% of the population are peasents that dont even know that internet or mobile phones exist.

Did you know there's only 1024 IP addresses for north Korea?

It would ruin the illusion of a powerful foreign enemy.

Best Korea did nothing wrong.

there are MILLIONS OF NORKS on the north-south korean border ('demilitarized zone' a.k.a. 'most militarized place on Earth').

>they can't nuke the DMZ because south korean troops are stationed there
>they obviously can't evacuate their troops or citizens near the border

so... should be pretty obvious. there are lots of malnourished norks to be used as fuel for the gook war

Nobody, and ESPECIALLY SK and Japan, wants to deal with NK refugees.

the qt news chick. also, for all we know KJU dindu nuffin. MSM lies about everything.

The thing to remember with NK is that part of the way they deal with the world is deliberately creating a situation where no matter how annoying they are, a regime collapse is probably worse. To South Korea, they're like a lunatic in the room with his hand on the pin of a grenade extorting a fairly small amount of money out of them from time to time.

What you have is 20 million crazy, desperately poor people who have been brainwashed to hate the outside world and have nothing at all to lose.

So if the regime falls on its own (as it inevitably would, some day), the situation is bad enough: nuclear facilities which at the very least can produce some nasty portable material if not a functioning portable bomb and no trusted channel to secure it. The nukes are the ultimate bargaining chip for the Communist elite to be allowed to go quietly in to the night should they feel the need.

And the millions of refugees. If the regime is gone, there's nobody to shoot them for trying to flee to the South... which is where they will flee, minefields notwithstanding. And a huge crime wave will follow.

The war scenario is even worse. Billions of Dollars of damage will be done to Seoul by Nork artilliery before they get bombed in to oblivion. Then you still have the issue with nuclear material and refugees, except this time the refugees will be even less well disposed to behave responsibly as they swarm the south. And then the propaganda side: more wretched refugees on TV blaming the US for all of their problems.

Even the best case scenario; a regime capitulation where they hand over knowledge of the nuclear facilities to the UN or at least China is pretty grim for the South Koreans. There are plenty of West Germans who are bitter about how much wealth they spent building up the East's shitty infrastructure, but the difference between West and East Germany in 1989 is nothing compared to the Koreas in 2017. Many South Koreans don't even want re-unification.

good goy

north korea is probly the most unjewed place on earth tbqh wif u famalam, thats why all the hate for NK

FUCK

CHINA

South Korea would be fuckin' mad. They have a claim right to all of Korea's land.

That's the thing about not recognizing North Korea as a legitimate country / government, that you are irrevocably proclaiming South Korea to have the right to govern both Koreas. As such, you can't just wipe out North Korea off the globe because it'd be a grievous offense towards South Korea, USA's ally.

So yeah, if the USA ever gets up to the task of cleaning up that mess, it'll be necessary to do it in a way it leaves as much of North Korea intact for SK to take over.

If the Korea situation was so simple as pushing the big red button and send the nukes flyin' it'd have been solved long ago.

Matata

No one is afraid of Norks, it's just they're the state equivalent of hot potato. China nor South Korea wants to deal with the people and infrastructure if the North Korean government got taken out.

Honestly, I don't even think the North Korean refugees would be able to live in any other country. They've been brainwashed to love their country, and despise everyone else since birth.

The parallels are obvious

>brainwashed chinks who have no problem dying for their country
>propaganda being the victim of American invasion
>bombing the shit out of a country and technological superiority hasn't won the Vietnam war
>American troops won't be as motivated as the chinks
>they won't give up till every single one is dead
>the outcry of the rest of the world will be huge as soon as it gets dirty

You want me to continue or do you actually have valid arguments?

let's throw daniel craig and see what shit he does with a silenced pistol on north korea.

huge army despite small country size

and would you really "liberate" the population when most of them are brainwashed to hate America?

Offer China 30+ miles of Nork Land in order to keep them at bay. Use conventional bombs to disable nuclear capabilities. Then invade while giving locals food.

>north korea is the only thing keeping china out of south korea.
why?

>One of the biggest military's in the world
>Nuclear power
We may not be afraid of them, but im sure SK and Japan want nothing to do with that.

>implying this is a bad thing
SK needs to go. They are run by a feminist cult

thats why we need to strike first

we will liberate thier souls from thier mortal coils

>Look goy, they're gonna bomb your precious k-pop waifus if we don't intervene! Why don't we start another global conflict that will create another massive influx of impoverished, unskilled refugees to the West who were also raised to despise your...I mean our culture and values?

South Korea relies on US spending in the DMZ for their economy

We should arm the best Koreans to oppose an oppressive regime.
