Best Korea would obviously destroy the US. Their soldiers don't even need to aim to hit their target.

Yes 110% anyone who tells you different is either stupid or lying

US has the strongest military in the world, the most natural resources and fucking drones capable of carrying nukes. If n.korea ever actually attacked america, they would be destroyed in hours. however they would have to strike first the US has a rep to uphold. don't want to be seen as bullies

Depends whose backing North Korea. If the mighty USSR is Id think US would fall or stand at a standstill. Mexican standoff style. Mutual destruction

How do you have such little grasp on what's happening in the world when you have so much information at your fingertips 24 hours a day?

North Korea would become glass korea

The whole world would die, but NK would die a little faster.

It comes down to strategic objectives. All the North can do is push forward, and that gives the advantage to defencive forces, which would be bolstered by off shore bombardment like in the gulf war. Basically North Kore would have to slog through the South, and they would have to cover their own asses in case China tries to take advantage of the situation.

>how to become tinfoil hat wearer 101

so you're basically saying they would probably never aim at the US but just talk the talk to keep their ppl brainwashed?

Check em, it would be funny. They shoot a sputtering piece of shit that more than likely crashes before Hawaii. The USA shoots it down before it gets anywhere near us. And then we unleash satans hell fury on them. Like damn it would be so fuckin ugly lol, but I mean. I think the USA should just squash them. Would be so easy, they're such a fuckin thorn in the side. Fatboy is so desperate for attention all the time

In Short
North Korea uses Soviet-era technology, to say the least.

America would crush the DPRK to a pulp.

>The whole world would die, but NK would die a little faster.

Nobody is running in to defend NK. Not even china.

The only war that would end the world right now is if some retard was stupid enough to drop a bomb on Damascus.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_murder_incident#Operation_Paul_Bunyan

I think North korea has better missle carrying tractors now

>Would the US demolish?
The US would handily defeat NK with the use of air power alone. The issue is that once attached, NK would immediately launch every missile they have as well as their massive artillery stockpile at south korea, possibly killing millions of people.
It is also likely they will nuke SK and or Japan in retaliation.
The rest of the world will blame the US for interrupting the status quo which resulted in the death of millions of people.
Likely a global depression or recession would follow.

The issue is the North Koreans would be able to wreak significant damage against South Korea including hundreds of thousands (possibly millions) of innocent civilians. Seoul itself would get severely fucked up. And the North Koreans have had decades to build deep bunkers and tunnels to store armaments and supplies. If they hunkered down it would be a bitch to roll them up quickly. But yes, the US would obviously win. The question is the cost in lives and materiel and the sheer devastation on the peninsula.

they will attack the US/ALLIES if we just let them build more and better missiles and nukes
either we let them keep on raising the possible inevitable casualty count, or we go ahead and attack their airfields and non bunkered artillery and hope they wont be able to level Seoul while south korea goes in reunifies the peninsula, with possibly attacks nk as well
or we can nuke them to dust with 10s to 100s of megaton nukes and airburst the nukes so there is low fallout, and then south korea unifies the peninsula

AYYY MATT! Remember Beau?

china possibly attacks nk*

Bro he is aiming he's just squinting.

Don't forget the recent missile interception tests. With current military developments it may be the case that most the large missiles can be intercepted by U.S. Warships. South Korea is probably screwed in a first strike, but Japan is far enough away to provide reasonable time for countermeasures to react.

NK has outdated technology regardless what they say. i'm surprised they haven't blown themselves up at this point. The US has the capability to shoot down any Nukes the NKs have aiming at us. The sad part is that Trump will look like a king once we are successful at demolishing NK. Bush was a dimwit up until 9/11.

Problem is galaxy S9 being postponed cuz Samsung got nuked. I hate Huawei, Xiaomi, Lenovo, etc.

Have you seen their shit?

Merifag here. We would win but it wouldn't be a Clean win. They would fire icbms at us and possibly our allies that don't have interceptor systems in place. There would be huge collateral damage and sadly it probably won't be on American soil, it will be someone uninvolved. That's the true danger.

>Don't forget the recent missile interception tests
Sure, that works when you fire a couple of missiles. NK has a lot of rocket projectors and missile launchers. It would be impossible for a MD system to stop more than 10% or so.
Not to mention, the artillary alone would flatten Soul.

Our military budget is more than 60x greater than their entire gdp. North Korea's gdp is $12 Billion.
It wouldn't be a war, it would be demolition. The only thing the US would need to figure out is how to spare civilian lives.

This. The North Koreans have had decades to prepare for this. The amount of shelling and missiles launched at the South would be impossible to intercept. American air power would eventually be able to degrade this ability but for that first day or so... it would be pure hell on earth to be someplace like Seoul. Massive casualties.

>The only thing the US would need to figure out is how to spare civilian lives.

that's really the least important thing

damn why tf does the US spend so much on their military

while we are at it how have the US not defeated ISIS yet?

It would be incredibly costly. NK is insanely mountainous. Heavy armor and most forms of mobile platforms would be really limited. They have extensive bunkers throughout the entirety of the country and the population is utterly indoctrinated. Imagine a ground war against 25 million odd ISIS fighters, with limited tank support and limited air cover and you have an idea of how difficult such a thing could be.

Oh. Still.

Wait, so you're telling me that if we bomb North Korea, they'll destroy South Korea for us? Sounds like a win-win to me.

Priorities

North koreans ain't done nothing wrong other than being born in the wrong spot. Few to none respect their leader, its all just fear.
Because ISIS holes itself up in the civilian populace so you cant just bomb the shit out of them, and no one wants to waste american lives after black hawk down.
Also because it would piss of russia, since the US won't back assad to retake the land

>limited air cover
LOL

Yes. The USA has a much superior military. DPRK has a lot of soldiers but they arent well equipped or trained. Also all their armored vehicles, tanks, submarines, boats, are old soviet-era stuff that the usa would just roll over. South Korea would become a island. Also if they launched a nuke USA has missile defenses (not as good as israels but good enough for the DPRK's missiles)

You people keep focusing on the wrong subject. We only care when impacts something we care about. Who doesn't care about Samsung, Hyundai, LG, and Kia? Yeah, some people may die, but who cares, they are on the other side of the world. Now talk about taking my favorite car or cell, then I start caring.

They have no food, they have no money, and the entire country fits in the blast radius of three mid-sized bombs. North Korea isn't a threat because they might beat us in a fight, they're a threat because they might do some permanent damage to the planet in the time it takes us to vaporize them.

Yes, we would utterly annihilate them.
This should have been done long before now.

The us got ass fucked by a few thousand farmers in vietnam remember...

They just need to send James Franco over there to take him out.

mfw this thread is actually giving me a lot of insightful information

Hypothetically, if the US were to flatten North Korea, what would happen to South Korea? Wouldn't that he destroyed as well?

It would be remembered as the 32 hour war. North Korea's military is a joke.

It's 2017 my man.

...

das racist mang, he's slitty eyes is because he slant eyes

>haven't blown themselves up at this point
There's still time for that to happen.
If they did, what are the odds they'd try to blame it on the US, and say we somehow nuked them without ever launching any missiles?

Depends on who supports NK.
Nobody: Glorious Leader turned into a super mutant within an hour.
Russia/China: Everyone turned into a super mutant within an hour.

>be squinty eyed shitlord
>miss America and rape Middle East
>do karate in garage with trump
>start a beautiful friendship

We should have MOABed this shit.

>spare civilian lives
As if that would matter. They're all taught from the day they're born to hate us and everything we stand for, so why bother worrying about saving any of them if they're just going to be ungrateful bastards?

I'm okay with being a super mutant, It's seemed to work out pretty well for the X-men.

...

Nah, its not like the US is going to be nuking north korea. North korea would probably launch a bunch of missiles at south korea, but thats why the US just set up an anti-missile system that china is really upset about
The populace doesnt believe any of that crap, theyre just a bunch of broke, broken, scared people.
There's a huge black market for western tv shows and shit smuggled in on flash drives

Best Korea right now is a suicidal bomber in a crowd.
In a straight out war there is no way he can't win. As soon as he blows his load he's out of the game. Problem is he can kill thousands of people before being taken out, and that's why they can't just go and wrestle him.

...

North Korea outnumbers us in terms of actual people serving in the military but we outnumber them with literally everything else and our technology is more advanced then theirs so we'd kick their asses

The US should move the good parts of South Korea to the US, and THEN attack the North.

should replace cali with SK

We should swap mexico with South Korea.

Not trying to be defeatist, but most here are too young to remember Korean War, let alone the Vietnam war. Korean war, the US was kicking ass, NK first tried to get Soviets to help, they told them fuck off. NK then went to the Chinese and reluctantly they wanted to get back at the US for their intervention in the Nationalists escaping to Taiwan (the US 7th fleet was an insurmontable obstacle) so the Chinese flooded Korea with thousands of troops that overwhelmed the US military. Vietnam, again pins and needles as they were wary of Chinese intervention. Short of using nukes, the US military would have trouble facing the 100's of million chinese troops. In short, they have more people than we have guns/tanks. And the Chinese army has massed at the NK border, supposedly to prevent NK defectors in case of war, but actually, they are there to flood the country in case of attack by the US in which case the US would be reluctant to attack. Remember it was Taiwan last time, this time its the Chinese building the bases in the South Chinese Sea, I can even see a double battle, if the US attacks the NK nuke facilities, the Chinese step in, the US provokes a battle and in a double move, I can see the Chinese invade Taiwan to take it back at the same time.....

Nah it true user, Can't remember the exact source but some time ago I read a really detailed and thorough estimate of a war with NK. There is something about the terrain and logistics that make it extremely favorable for a defending force to maintain air superiority. It was basically assumed to be impossible and every other potential strategy was based on that assumption.

NK has no air power to even dream of challenging US/Sk air superiority and their SAMs are easily defeated

... why dosnt anyone realise this is the baitiest bait of all bait? is there any person in the world who legitimatly thinks north korea has any chance what so ever?

i dont understand why there are certain topics that just make people take leave of their sences.

Because of weapons? US would obliterate. Because of policy, the legal system, and leadership, absolutely not.

As long as China doesn't step in, like they did during the Korean war. The Chinese might just be willing to step in.

faggots don't know what the fuck they're talking about.
DPRK has a million strong standing army that's get the best of anything the dictatorship has to offer. They have multiple heavy artillery and armoured divisions in underground bunkered barracks on 24/7 alert just miles from the DMZ. All of which can hit Seoul.

Any military arpgression would be met with a massive military barrage on the DMZ ponts and, moe importantly, on Seoul densly urban areas. We're talking WW2 Tokyo firestorm stuff. Projected civilian casualties in the 250k+ range even before their armoured and infantry charge arias the border.

SKor and America don't have excellent technological superiority, but they don't have numerical force strength. Doubt DORK would take over Skor, or win, but there be little left. China wouldn't get involved, but would blame US that now extended and lost strategic military power wouldn't be able to counteract Beijing regional strategic surperiority in the aftermath.

TL;DR a clusterfuck that castrates America throughout Asia, and SE Asia, including Japan and allies. Learn Mandarin faggots.

Sure they do and they have a fuckton of underground, heavily protected facilities to launch from.

lol k. stay in school.

Oh yeah, they do. The Chinese army has already massed many divisions on the NK border, supposedly to prevent NK civillian defectors if war breaks out. China steps in, then we have the Korean War all over again. This time, its a double move, US strikes NK, China floods their military in (like a big brother) and now, if the US hits a chinese unit, then China makes a double move. It then declares war on the US. At the same time, China attacks and takes back Taiwan.

I dont think even China would defend north korea at this point. China and the US will never go to war with each other at this point anyways because our economies are so intertwined that the death of one would mean the death of the other. We owe them over a trillion dollars.

U.S would rape any country any day like they have always done. We can take all of you jelly fags on all at once

Tragedy is usually followed by economic growth and prosperity.

at most china would just invade NK to create a 10-20mile buffer zone to control the refugees.

This.

We don't need to deploy soldiers and take over the landmass to win a war with north korea, we just need to take out their nuclear launch sites (which have to be open enough to fire a nuke out of, and therefore bomb-able, from sea or air whichever is easier) and eviscerate their army. If they hide in the mountains we wait till they come out and wreck them. They'll run out of resources quickly enough

Oh, you don't understand. Its about Taiwan. They are itching to get it back. What better way than to have the US attack NK, the Chinese army floods in. The US accidentally strikes a chinese unit, China declares war, China at the same time strikes Taiwan, the US has a problem at this point, its one of logistics. Don't forget China at the same time would gain Taiwan, then sue for peace. Why not, it wouldn't be a prolonged war. Doesn't need to be.

And the protection against defectors is a cover.

dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4399076/China-deploys-150-000-troops-North-Korea-border.html

'Murica, deploying all its military resources, can't win against a bunch of slit-eyed Vietnamese, Iraqi sandniggers and Afghan autistics. None of which had professional military training.

And, yeah, you're gonna beat one of the world's largest standing army, in one of the world most geographically intense regions, from a dictatoriship that has not other purpose than to fight any aggression.

Wrong. NK has been planning their attack one SK for fucking decades, they will roll over those pussies.

And OP to answer your question NK would be a parking lot in less than a week but SK would get ass fucked way before that.

The US was cruising during the Korean war, til the Chinese interveined and flooded the battlefield with tens of millions of troops, it overwhelmed the US, inspite of the superiority of the US in the air and sea. Look it up. At the same time look at the US reluctance to deal with North Vietnam because they feared the Chinese Army and their millions of troops. They have more people than we have bullets.

>China declares war on the US
See There isnt a military in the world that could defeat the US, to the point that its ridiculous. China may have the numbers as far as footsoldiers go, but america has the planes, the ships, the drones, you name it
Oh I see what youre saying. Yeah I could definitely see that happening, though I expect taiwan would still have some level of autonomy like hong kong or else the economic implications would cause businesses to flee taiwan

>They have more people than we have bullets.
that's the dumbest fucking thing ive ever heard

Its not about that. They would flood the nation so that if the US attacked, they stand a chance of hitting a chinese unit, which would escalate a conflict. Then China at the same time would invade Taiwan to get it back, like they wanted to back in the 50's and 70's etc..

As long as China doesn't intervene.

>NK fighting the US in the air

for the first 3 hours maybe.

the net has been vacuuming up everything under & over the sun
,on human activities since '98,the globe has a zillion books everywhere
never occurred to you to pick one up,then try reading it?
if guys like you get to run
things,we are soooooooooooooo sunk

Well, if we swap with Mexico, China would have to move their wall too, not sure they would be cool with it.

In the jungle in unfamiliar country side with no UAV/Satellite support.

The second Korean war will be pretty much conventional and the US will fucking roll. The North Koreans arent gonna be hiding out in civilian populations they are gonna shell Seoul and roll SK.

china has nothing to gain from escalating the conflict apart from using the threat to deescalate the whole situation

There are like 10 million SK living 50 miles from the DMZ. Take a guess.

WE WIN plain and simple

Yea but their initial bombardment of Seoul will live in history forever m8.

Come on dude, what about Hollywood? As much as I love Samsung and all, Entertainment is one of our top exports. Not to mention, we get to export our culture and make the world worship us.

Maybe. But that dooms a whole shitload of South Koreans.

You better go look at your history books and study the Korean War after the Chinese entered the fray.

...

You do not understand a MOAB's combat effectiveness.
