Why is the supposedly most powerful country in the world (The United States) so fucking afraid of North Korea?

Why have they let the regime continuously break sanctions without any repercussion?

They have a shit ton of artillery and most of it is mobile and within striking distance of 12 million of South Korea's population and has shells loaded with VX and other nerve agents.

While we have acoustic and radar telemetry for counter-battery fire, the North would still get off enough shots to decimate Metropolitan Seoul before counter-batter fire could quash Nork Arty.

Scuds on a low arc filled with VX warheads or even a few primitive nukes would be very difficult to hit even with THAAD.

Even if Ohio and Michigan launched all their non-nuclear Tomahawks (about 250 in total) in a First Strike, it would not decapitate the C2 and C4 systems in DPRK.

An EMP would send them back to the Stone Age and we don't want to advance their civilization

I say take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

They wouldn't even know what was happening until it was over.

So, what you're saying is...were basically screwed forever and NK can just do anything they want because Seoul is at their mercy?

For an EMP to be effective, it needs to be detonated in the upper atmo. A minimum required yield to trigger an EMP is 400 kT and that would also hit Japan, South Korea, China, Russia and the Philippines along with irrelevant nations.

EMPs are not like video games.

you think usa is afraid of north korea or china? LOL
china can deal with nk in 2 days

merifags got fucked up back in nam, against the scrawniest and shortest asians in the world.
how the fuck would they be able to go against the Nkorean's now.

Yes and no. OPLAN 5027-2016 and OPLAN 5029-2015 count on DPRK striking first and then USROK full force retaliation. OPLAN 5032-2016 and OPLAN 5034-2016 call for invasion if there's a regime collapse with expected minimal or confused counterforce from PRKA forces.

Basically, the option is: as long as DPRK doesn't do something stupid, they stay contained. The China Question is always the unpredictable variable.

>merifags got fucked up back in nam
Americans got fucked up back in America because of all the anti-war bleeding heart liberals protesting in the streets.
>FTFY

All nuclear weapons release an emp because no nuclear weapon is impact detonated.

This is true, yes, but the EMP is extremely limited in range in a ground burst or strategically effective air burst. It is effectively limited in range to the to 2 PSI overpressure ring of the blast.

oh yeah that was the problem.. not the ever increasing pile of dead bodies and with no exit on sight..

kinda reminds me of AFGANISTAN

Chrarlie was so low on supplies, they were weeks from surrendering when America pulled out.

Find the 60 Minutes interview with the VC general from about 2003-2004. He stated that as fact.

great excuses for invading a country, even better excuses when you lose the battle.

Show me on the doll where the big, bad Americans touched you, you little whining faggot

Probably effective enough to stop a few watches that aren't incinerated in the blast lol

Just another anonymous faggot from some third-world shithole crying about Americans. Have fun sleeping in your mud hut tonight

because they are known liars, their military power is unknown

More like 2 seconds.

I admit we were out of our element and got fucked. we lost hard. however, we'd have the entire South Korean army with us in that fight, on essentially their home land. the south isn't to be underestimated. we'd be fine.

aww didnt knew that stating the truth is butthurt
imagine if we start talking about how much of a bitch you are now that china controls most of your debt

>and got fucked
>we lost hard
Either you're not american, or you just graduated 3rd grade.

...

we lost the ground war. we couldn't handle their stick and move tunnel bullshit.

how long have you had access to information outside of school books? educate yourself.

...

The US owes China roughly $1 trillion of its more than $16 trillion in debt. That's less than 10%, faggot

and you think the average american cares about history?
for all he knows america is a country instead of a continent

Probably the one with the rwb bikini with stars on the bottoms. The fatty is probably some buttmad Britbong who still gets free treatment at the NHS even though she refuses to change her lifestyle

>for all he knows america is a country instead of a continent
what?

The U.S. debt to China is $1.092 trillion, as of April 2017. That's 27.9 percent of the $3.9 trillion in Treasury bills, notes, and bonds held

There is a Vox video on yourtube that explains the geopolitical situation so clearly that even Sup Forums retards could understand it.

if you dont know what i just said then you better start reading

It must be the most horrible existence to go through life worrying and wondering about what another country is doing at all hours of the day. I can't even begin to think of another country that is obsessed over like the U.S. All these bitter feeling toward Americans would be of better use to make your own country better and not some decrepit shithole.

well helps that your track record shows only fuck ups around the world

stay jealous anonymous foreigner from some country you're afraid to admit that you're from

so saying from where i am somehow helps the truth?

it's this way of thinking that makes merifags lose the fight, the big white man superiority over every other race and country , yeah your big house and huge firepower yet cant even deal with hobbit gooks in paddyfields and sandniggers in their camel dung bunkers.

most brit females are overweight. But the men like them thick and juicy for some reason.

>have they let the regime continuously break sanctions without any repercussion?
No oil. Therefore: No one cares for this statewide concentration camp.

They're not afraid of NK they're afraid of China.

No, it's just easy to spew a false air of superiority when it won't bite you in the ass. We all know you live in a mud shack with your cow

because china you fucking retard.

They're afraid of killing thousands of citizens and receiving the obvious whiplash from the UN and any person with half a damn heart.

I strongly believe, however, that we should assassinate fat boy and replace him with an agent that will, over the course of years, remove the brainwash.

>We all know you live in a mud shack with your cow
dont you ever assume im a texan

How the next few months will pan out
America manages to get foreign captives released, America gives north Korea one last warning, gook shoot the nuke, north Korea is a wasteland by morning

Well is pretty clear that soon as americans start attacking NK China and Russia would start moving their shit as they did before. Besides that American politicians need a excuse to keep on wasting Trillions of $$$ on defense industry and fool the american tax payer so NK will come handy when they don't have anywhere else to ''liberate''

Clearly somebody needs educated on nuclear warfare.

because you have a madman with nukes on power
because you have china with a decent army and airforce
because you have russia that is a magnitude up from china in any case
because america failed to contain russia and china 20 years ago and now they are on damage control

>dont you ever assume im a texan
nope. because that's the oldest pile of bullshit i've ever heard
>btw I'm American
topkek

Trump is a pussy wants to build a Trump Pyonyang resort.

Aint nothing happening for the next 10 years

No need to build one, just take this one over.

The Ryungong Hotel is so ostentatious that Trump could have built it

if US owns china money... isn't it kinda china's problem? If both these countries "fight" (not militarily)... US can stop paying. If china raises interests... US can stop paying.

US kinda has the last word before going out to war.

>china imposes tariffs

Game over nigga dont even play

>other countries realize dead beat america wont pay

as if America can survive on its own

they both fight and the time usa bring their whole force in china

china starts liquifying the debt

1 fucking trillion of it no country can pay that shit

>The United States
>afraid of North Korea
>afraid of any country
Piss poor bait, OP. You should be ashamed an embarrassed.

Why
