USA vs North Korea who would win?

>inb4 MURICA STRONG!

Seoul would be rekt before the Americans are even ready for battle. Massive loss politcally. Gotta take out the artillery to prevent this happening. Even if the Americans could get bombers there quickly it's defended to the hilt with SAMs. Lots of B-52s and maybe even B-2s would go down in flames. Finally if it ever got as far as a ground war the norks are dug in like the mines of Moria, would be a long and bloody struggle. Liberals will flail their limbs and USA will pull out battered and bruised.

The only card NK holds is the massed infantry they'd zerg rush over the border. Seoul is about 35 miles away, not sure they'd make it fast enough.

They weren't exactly helpless with anti-air in the first war, but Pyongyang still ended up looking like Hiroshima.

Yes, because two of the most technologically advanced nations on earth totally haven't spent the last 20 years cataloging EVERY nork artillery site and marking them for immediate destruction.

US SEAD and CAP would give us air superiority very quickly, after that we'd be able to fuck their infantry and armor up pretty easily. It's gonna be Iraq 2.0, probably a bit easier.

If there are large amounts of NK holdouts after the central government has been destroyed then we're in for a fun occupation.

USA is ready to go at any moment and South Korea is prepared to bombard the shit out of North Korea. Hell China is prepared to bomb the shit out of North Korea.

Only the northern, least densely populated part of it, and only by the largest guns. The North can't dedicate most of its artillery corps to solely bombarding Seoul and they'll be losing 1% of their guns to counterbattery by the hour, and that's a modest estimate.

>Even if the Americans could get bombers there quickly it's defended to the hilt with SAMs. Lots of B-52s and maybe even B-2s would go down in flames
Look how well that turned out for Saddam. The US spent the better part of the 70s and 80s turning medium altitude precision bombing into an art and NK's antiquated IADN is going to be dismantled in short order.

>Liberals will flail their limbs and USA will pull out battered and bruised.
Maybe if the Korean occupation turns into a drawn-out decade-spanning slog. Nobody will be shedding tears over Kim going down except the most contrarian /pol/acks. Even then South Korea is still there and will have a vested interest in stabilizing the North.

The Nork arty threat is overhyped - pic doesn't show all of their arty (not even within that area), but it does show range rings for their longest ranged systems, which are 240mm MRLS's. As for their anti-air, it's pathetic (mostly SA-2s with a few SA-3s - systems only considered advanced back in the 1960s/70s). Iraq also had a more advanced air force, although at least with NK you'll probably actually see the fighters stay in the air (until they're obliterated by Raptors) rather than not launch or immediately defect. An initial Tomahawk strike would be able to eliminate most of their SAMs, after which US jets would be able to fly over with pretty much impunity.

It's not Syria where Assad has his hands full, ISIS has no capabilities to speak of, Russians won't do shit and all nearby allies are able to care for themselves, so you can happily rain Tomahawks from a couple of destroyers.

If shit hits the fan in Korea, US has to commit quickly and in force. When business is Korea-level serious, one carrier group doesn't mean shit, there's always one around, they are built in such numbers specifically to maintain constant worldwide presence. It's the concentration of forces that should get Kim soiling himself.
>>
>>33756194

It would be a good point for a president to score and letting Kim run to China rather than get buried alive in one of his pleasure bunkers would be a way to avoid totally levelling Best Korea. It would also keep us from having to feed a bunch of retarded Norks.
>>
>>33753621
The North would get fucked up pretty fast by overwhelming US/ROK airpower.

Best case scenario is Kim withdraws to his lair under Mt. Paektu and directs his strategic missile units to let loose with everything they've got, at least that way we could have a 9/11 style happening to watch. The DPRK doesn't have a functioning ICBM unfortunately so the carnage would be limited to Korea and Japan.

South Korea.

The US has ~2 divisions protecting SK, vs Worst Korea's 47 divisions.

Also, NK's air defense would be like Iraq but even shittier. We'd finally get to mag dump an SSGN, bring a few carrier groups in to bomb with impunity, and SK would hold the line until NK fell apart. Now hold still while everyone else in the thread rapes your face.

We can't. The nation gets pissy about wars that last years against third world nations without electrical grids.

Its like seal clubbing, except it's insanely expensive and kills Americans.

Seriously, war is ludicrously expensive as well as costing lives. We fire million dollar missiles at Toyota technicals and people with AKs.
>>
The US could drop one nuke every 5 square miles in North Korea. If our bases in SK or Japan are wiped out (not gonna happen short of being nuked) there will be no escaping the US response. Only the northern 1/3 of Seoul is in range of NK arty. It is most likely that china will step in and tell Fat Boy to fuck off before he hits the US. If he hits the US China has said they will likely wash their hands of him.

>>
The biggest advantage North Korea has is the terrain. Because of how the peninsula is set up light infantry are a major focus of both sides. You know how African states invest hard in paratroopers and shit? That's because they are the cheapest high-quality unit you can make, and many of those nations lack wide open plains to tankspam anyway. There's a similar logic at work with the Norks. The war will only last a few days (the amount of time it takes for their airspace to become American property) but IF they invested their limited resources properly it's going to suck for everyone involved. If it was easy we would have knocked off the Kim family decades ago.

And whatever stays underground, can't survive there for long because of morale, lack of technology, supplies etc.

It's fairly well known that North Korea has situated vast amounts of artillery in hardened emplacements for the sole purpose of shelling Seoul. It's no surprise that both South Korea and the United States have been cataloguing these emplacements for years and likely prioritizing which ones to bring down first. I would really expect any conflict with North Korea would start with a concentrated attack on said artillery to disable as much of it as possible before it can do appreciable damage to Seoul.

There is always the chance a lot of that artillery is pretty dysfunctional due to years of limited maintenance and stocks of rather ancient or low quality ammunition. Still gonna eat explosions if shit kicks off though.

>>
>>33760742
When you say best chance, you mean best chance to inflict the most casualties? Absolutely.

No option, not even nuclear, results in the DPRK surviving. You could erase SK from the equation, you could even destroy an entire fleet of US ships (both highly improbable), but at the end of the day they fall and fall hard. Complete destruction of DPRK infrastructure, complete decapitation of the regime. If nuclear weapons were used, China and potentially even Russia would be ready to destroy them as well.

See, that's the issue with every opponent the USA ever had.

They always assume the americans are soft-belly hedonist wimps who'll just rollover and die at the first slap because they're not ready to bear the "true cost of a patriotic war".

And they are right, to some extend :
American people don't want war.
They don't want to go fighting in a foreign land for no visible benefit except helping foreigners.
They will cry and protest once the coffins start coming home and the crippled are massing in the hospitals.
And if there's no clear sign that the people they are fighting to protect are on their side, they'll be dishearthened and pack home.

But before this happens, they'll wreck the shit out of whoever dared to hit them or their friends.

Thing is, the USA have become pretty good at this "wrecking shit" business.
"We kill a shit load of people very quickly and while losing close to none of ours" good.

It means that the whole conventional army of NK is worth exactly no shit :
It would be bombed to oblivion at all level above bataillon in a matter of days.
It would devolve into a largely static force, with only fortified defense and small-scale infiltrations as options.
No large-scale operations could be possible.

Yes, at that point, the norks might dig themselves into fucking caves like some slitted eyes talibans or some winter version of the VC.
But who cares ? The aim is not to invade and occupy the North. Even the SK don't want it...

So USA will wreck all of NK's infrastructure and let Kim rebuild.
When we know that, despite USSR's help, they weren't even at 1/10th of SK after 50 years, that "rebuild" thing ain't really scary.

This is why this is a bad idea. You can't just willy-nilly nuke everything and everyone. Kim needs fertile land to feed his people. Without that, they will continue starving. He knows this, in order to become an actual force, he'd need to unite Korea while maintaining his grip on society

Its been almost two decades since I saw anything on paper, but back then the expectation was between 12-14 days of delaying action / retreat until reinforcements started arriving from the states. Followed by 3-4 months to push NK back to the DMZ. All of the scenarios that gave a reasonable expectation of holding Seoul involved the release of US nuclear weapons in the first 24 hours.

NORTH KOREAN SOLDIERS SO STRONG NOT EVEN AXE AND STONE CAN BREAK THEM!

HOW CAN CAPITALIST STARCRAFT MAN SISSIES OF THE DECADENT WORST KOREA EVER DEFEAT US?!

firstly, a gun type assembly IS ww1 tech and secondly there are more then two methods in setting of a nuke.

seriously, back up your claim that a gun-type couldn't be made in ww1 if they had fissile material. i could understand that most of the implosion systems would not work since they didn't have the kind of precision detonators we developed later but fuck me man gun types don't require anything special for the time period bar the fissile material.
>>
>>33767650
the fact that they didn't have fissile material is case in point

not to mention miniaturization for slappi g them on a targeted missile is way post WWII tech

he/you are wrong

if your argument is really "making subcritical nuclear material undergo explosive criticality is east for any actor with time and money in the modern world" then sure, you're on the money.

if your argument is "they could have conceivably made the bomb in WWI if some all powerful being gave them enough fissile material" then you're probably right but also making a very irrelevant point, notwithstanding the fact that there was no concept of such weapon prior to mass discovery of the neutron.

okay you get my point, i wasn't the original poster, i just came along mid argument. which started off on someone saying the norks nukes would prob fail to detonate. i just ran along with the ww1 comment when it was made as an analog. i would not bet a single cent on a nuke failing to detonate, sure the yield could be smaller then designed but it would still be a big nuclear explosion.

and on terms of miniaturisation something not especially needed if your targets are local in which most of the NoK's targets are. it is needed for the longer ranged stuff and is a hurdle there trying to get past. but if they wanted to nuke anything in theater or as far out as japan, they could.

>>33767718
Yeah that's fair and well stated.

So what? You have to generate enough sorties to be effective in the big picture. It's hard to achieve with just 4 strike fighter squadrons.

Your liberator-style guns can only be used (though with limited reliability) for suicide. Rifles chambered in local military caliber are what matters.

Real question is, how long until the inevitable MASH reboot?

>Fucking WWI tech
The DPRK is not using WWI technology in their nuclear weapons.

>>33759434
They have the capability of both of these things.

Being this retarded.

>>33757572
As much bantz that goes back and forth.
China has been pretty smart about stepping to the side and letting America tire it's self out.
>>
>>33756290
Sure, but it wouldn't be US or Chinese blood spilled, just tons of Nork blood

We've had counter battery artillery crews drilling in Seoul since the 60s. The Norks night get off a couple dozen shots before they get their shit pushed in.

That picture doesn't make any sense. The guardsmen at Kent state had Garands.

It would be a humanitarian crisis of massive proportions, but far from what people freak out about.

You realize that Kent State almost led to a student revolution, right? The government was literally terrified people were going to march on the White House.

>>33771448

Here's the key word for you here.

thousands of people marched in DC but revolution was never a threat.

Even if Norks levelled Seoul, and planted flags, they still wouldn't win.

All the things that made Worst Korea successful, are economically and culturally abhorrent to the norks.

After Norks supposedly kicked arse, they'd gather around the rubble and say "now what"?.

Then the Northern end of South Korea would become just as dysfunctional and worthless as the rest the rest of "Best Korea".

Then of course, the Sorks, Yanks, and maybe even Chinks/Japs press the reset button on Best Korea, starting a 4 front war that lasts maybe 6 days at most. A race to take as much land before the Chinks occurs, much like the race for Berlin previously.

The Chinks and everyone else grumbles over their new prize, whilst wondering what to do with a few million impoverished, worthless Norks.

Of course, not bound by humanitarian limitations, the Chinese find a more profitable solution.
