So tell me /pol/, what does a preemptive strike on North Korea

This is America cupcake, this will make shock and awe look like child's play.

You can count on any semi major military installation being destroyed almost instantly.

NK will be fighting a guerrilla war in less than a month

>what does a preemptive strike on North Korea look like?

No idea. But I would just like to remind everyone that the only people who voted for Trump are rural and suburban retards.

City people all voted for Hillary.

>>136708592
Fair enough, but I'm thinking in terms of retaliation. What kind of backlash, if any, should the US expect to face if we strike first?

Reminder Iraq was the test run for NK and we pulled that off with a miniscule fraction of the military

It could go one of two ways:

1) We destroy all their big weapons, cripple them, and secure the country with few casualties

2) We fail to take out all their weapons, and they launch everything they can, most of which is aimed at South Korea, South Korea is fucked, and there's a small chance that a missile hits the U.S., Guam, or Japan.

I don't think our own government would stoop so low just to throw ourselves into a war..

>>136708114

Option 1:
- reveal Rod of God orbital capabilities. Orbital bombardment of major cities with kinetic strike weapons. Destroy infrastructure with a volley of thousands of small projectiles or dozens of big one.

Option 2:
WW2 style carpet bombing of major cities 24/7. Let South Korean ground troops move in.

The USA doesn't have a coalition ready to strike. There is no current large military build up in the west to deal with massive Chinese push. India ain't gonna jump in.

The only way to neutralize North Korea right now is to destroy it, completely from the sky. Doomsday weapons and carpet bombing air raids.

They will strike seoul first, they've been holding that hostage and know they can hit that. With a nuke, Japan probably. They're not gonna aim their nukes at us for a slim change to actually hit it and have it not get shot down/miss. They want death. Seoul is their best option.

Pic related.

isn't their WMD still have smaller explosion than Hiroshima bomb?

Dunno but you'd have to have an iron-clad guarantee that China & Russia were in total agreement with it happening, and you'd also want to make sure India & Pakistan weren't going to use it as a pretext to playing silly buggers with each other, too.

China would basically demand the South China Seas, maybe even the removal of US defence technology from Taiwan. Russia would probably demand lifting of sanctions and normalisation of the status of Crimea, and whatever else it thought it could get away with.

It seems unlikely (but not impossible) any of that could happen.

They can't hit California, we will strike their nuclear and Sam sites first, navy, air assets often layered in with sof, right after that, then we will take out their ground assets and logistic trains as we push from different directions with a ground invasion cooperating with the sorks.

>>136708114
I see 3 options. Preemptive strike is only one.

1: Small surgical strike on nuke and missile test facilities and wait for NK to escalate with a response

2: Bait NK into striking first with a massive "defensive" military build up giving us proper motive in the international communities eye.

3: Massive preemptive strike. Would require decapitating strike on Pyongyang with stealth aircraft and cruise missiles followed by total annihilation of their air defense, communications , and artillery. Then we go after infrastructure, military positions, mine fields, etc.

Options 1 and 2 would both result in the same battle plan as 3 so either way there will be " fire and fury like the world has never seen"
We've been on this path for decades so brace yourself, it's going to happen.

Oh wow, 2.6 billion dollars? THat's totally worth jeopardizing trillions of dollars worth of Trade with the US over.

The problem is that a preemptive attack on the North, would result in the destruction of South Korea. Seoul is within range of DPRK conventional artillery and there is no way to protect against that.

>>136709352
Can I say again how super smart you are for coming up with the idea that a 2.6 billion dollar trade deal that is worth less than 1% of China's GDP is totally worth risking a war that would cost trillions of dollars over.

>>136713698
They probably just wouldn't want to deal with a war. It's not economically worth it. They get a lot of raw materials and low-cost labor from North Korea, but it's not worth losing a million chinks over the land. I honestly believe that if any real war were to take place, they'd play neutral and North Korea would fall.

>>136713909
I suspect China wouldn't mind moving in afterwards and taking the raw materials for themselves, if they had too & if somebody else did the dirty work for them. The only people who'd be upset about that is South Korea, and what're they going to do?

>>136713764

>>136714044
>I suspect China wouldn't mind moving in afterwards and taking the raw materials for themselves
Well it's not as easy as coming and leaving. To get the raw materials, they'd need camps and facilities there for decades to extract that good coal, uranium, and other raw goods from the mines. I think South Korea would mind a lot, and if China doesn't spearhead the war effort and end up playing neutral until the end, then they won't get much say about North Korea unless they want to go to war with the West.

The UN will expect North Korea to be either absorbed into South Korea or have a new, democratic government. They, nor any of the other great powers, will want China to just declare "gibsmedats"

I dunno, what do you think?

>>136708114
China will be at war with India soon, and will keep forces poised along the nk border to turn back the horde of unwashed filth that turns up looking for gibsmedat. But since they will be preoccupied in that region, now is a good time to strike. Anyway the norks have the missles but there's no proof they can successfully attach a warhead. They seem to want to hit Guam which is really the best they can do

Will be fine with a response strike from NK killing millions of Californians.

>>136714414
I could see China getting NK if that was what was needed to get them to support a US strike, but yes you're right that the UN & SK would be properly pissed about, and no doubt Japan would be upset by Chinese expansion, too. But I wonder if the actors would be okay with it enough if it meant the end of NK?

>>136710674
They're satellites with big tungsten rods weighing tons. Satellite gets over target, releases rod, gravity pulls it down to earth and the kinetic energy once the target is hit would be enough to match that of a nuke, without the nuclear fallout. We just simply haven't built them.

>>136712857

>>136715002
I wouldn't be surprised if that ended up causing small scale conflict in and of itself. Deciding what to do with the land, resources, and survivors after flattening their infrastructure could easily cause tensions to rise even further between China and US/UN.

>>136715427
Yeah, I could see it both ways. It's almost like international diplomacy is hard or something.

I could also see China being okay with SK unifying the land, but I wonder if SK actually *want* NK anymore, really. Just think of the cost involved in taking in the remaining NK citizens and rebuilding basically everything from the ground up. Unifying Germany and dragging up the former GDR was bad enough.

>>136715002
>But I wonder if the actors would be okay with it enough if it meant the end of NK?
Definitely a good question. I see three options:

>China takes North Korea
>South Korea takes North Korea
>South Korea takes North Korea, but China gets rights to extract raw materials from North Korea (where they already have facilities)

In the first scenario, I only see this possibility happening if either China plays a major role in the fall of North Korea or if they go to war with the West. I only see the former action as realistically probable, so I'll leave it at that. The second scenario is very probable if China doesn't act now. If the West banks its support with South Korea and North Korea falls, they could easily name South Korea the defacto authority of the region (as they have been allies with the West for decades and have fostered a strong confidence in the UN and Western allies). China wouldn't get anything more once North Korea fell.

The third option is very probable as well. If China delays action, but manages to constitute some significant measure that helps with the fall of North Korea, the UN and/or the US could facilitate a deal where North Korea is under the authority of South Korea, but the camps, factories, and facilities that China have built and maintained remain under the control of China in some sort of trade treaty. North Korea is South Korean land but, through administration of UN and US authorities, those mines and camps that China has a stronghold stay within the ownership of the Chinese government and businessmen. In this scenario, I see a big conflict over the uranium mines. Trump doesn't want China to have access to uranium, and the West and UN probably are sketchy about that aspect as well. There might be a standstill over who gets to mine the Uranium mines for a long time after North Korea falls.

We need to bust out the scalar wave weapon and just sweep the entire country of NK in one fell swoop. Ever seen that James Bond movie where the bad guy uses a giant satellite to create a beam of destruction? Like that, but not a giant space mirror.

>>136716081
I'd say that realistically any change in the status of North Korea would require the consent of China, and also the USA would need to avoid upsetting South Korea & Japan. Your third scenario seems reasonable, as it would also avoid China having to actually deal with the problem, as such.

>>136708114
If the north is attacked they will just bombard the south... and get more involved to attempted to take the fighting elsewhere. It's not fucking rocket science.

But Trump decent realize this because he's an idiot.

>>136716630
>If the north is attacked they will just bombard the south

With what? The USA or China could wipe out 90% of their offensive capabilities in the initial strike. The USA could spend a month constantly napalming No Mans Land to stop any infantry advance dead (literally). The North Korean army is large but their supply capability is limited; they'd run out of food within a week, and starving armies don't fight. NK's offensive capability is only useful in a surprise, pre-emptive attack.

>>136713433
Does Seoul not have air raid shelters?

>>136708114
Their missile silos, military bases, ports, and really anything government gets nuked. The secret card up their sleeve no one talks about is that they have the most submarines of any country in the world, with 72 IIRC. They are largely these old diesel engine subs, and they move really slow but they dont make much noise. They kinda put put along without being very noticeable, and could be filled with explosives and suicided in the middle of international shipping lanes. Thats their go-to fuck the world tactic, after they have been nuked. So ports, obviously getting nuked. If any are in port, they are toast.

Anyways, they nuke them, China probably doesnt respond, NK does wipe Seoul off the map though, which is in artillery strike range of the border. The prediction was 2 million dead in the first few minutes, before the rest get into bunkers and fortifications made for just that scenario.

The whole world condemns the US for not taking enough time to negotiate with the regime who had nuclear capabilities and professed a will to use them. It was a good strategy while it lasted, but Trump will never tolerate an actual nuclear capable North Korea with striking capability on the US. They will be nuked, eventually, I can feel it. Feinstein etc are already positioning to make him out to be some kind of war criminal for all the "innocent civilians" caught up in the nuke, many of which wont actually be accountable since nukes just vaporize them. So, in other words, annudah shoah, 9 gorillion dead.

This is the only thing that honestly scares me.

I live in Vancouver. Our Navy and Coast Guard are pathetic. I know we wouldn't be a missile target, but if they have a legion of asshole suicide submarines, that's pretty scary. At least they probably don't have enough nukes to bother wasting them on us.

You guys seem to not realize just how much the US spends on defence and how crazy good their military is. I would be surprised if they don't already have a full action plan including exactly which roads, bridges, structures and military installations need to be hit, who is going to hit them, etc. Within a matter of hours North Korea would be completely incapable. Hell, with this kind of defence spending, you should have orbital bombardments programmed to hit everything you need to hit simultaneously. Maybe they don't have quite that, but they probably know very well where all of North Korea's important shit is. With this kind of budget, you can do pretty much anything.

>>136708114
Listen to the guy on Sam Harris' podcast talk about it. Harris is ridiculous with his anti Trump talk at this point, but the guest had his shit together. The options are all bad.

Apparently NK has just about every inch of Seoul gridded out and ready to hit with tons of artillery. They don't have any serious capability to hit anywhere else. Either way, if we hit them they're hitting Seoul regardless of what we do, as we can't take out every single bit of artillery in one strike. The cel phone videos of artillery hitting modern skyscrapers will be ridiculous and get a good portion of the world against us, not them, for forcing their hand.

If we evacuate Seoul, the thought is that they will pre-emptively attack anyway as they will think that means an attack is coming. China will most likely be against any of it, because there will be millions of refugees crossing their border due to lack of food an supplies and it will make the Syrian refugee crisis look like child's play.

Either way it's all bad.

>>136721470
We do have multiple attack plans laid out and ready to go and have had them for decades. Hell, we probably have one for your country too, but it's well documented that we've had multiple NK plans in the works for years.

nk will use EMPs and USA will go full dark mode. then some dirty bombs explode inside US already preplanned by Nk special service.

>>136708114
Wow

You do realize the U.S is not at risk of any strikes from the norks, right?

The south koreans would feel the entirety of the attack. The second Pyongyang's radars detect a missle they will flatten soul with artillery.

Any nork missles would be shot down but shelling would ravage the south gooks.

Japan might be struck but I highly doubt it. NK would be destroyed within a day. They have no means of transportation. America can easily win this war, but the jews of wall street care too much about capital inflow from the suicide-riddled mess that is SK to go ahead with this plan.

Tbh even Guam need not worry. Fire and brimstone.

>>136721470
Honestly I think everyone's just waiting for China to drop the Norks completely.
I am 100% certain that the Americans with Jap and South Korean support can jump on their fucking heads so fast they won't be able to get off a quick shit let alone a missile launch. The only obstacle is China chimping out over it.

But it's clear they're losing patience with the little fuckers (for good reason) and have recently stopped buying Nork coal, which was the main financial and business tie between them.
Once NATO, the Japs, the South Koreans and maybe even Russia sweet talk them into finally letting the cunts go, it's over for them.

>>136721470
Yeah, pretty much this, but no orbital strikes. Not yet anyway. If I remember corectly, the U.S. Plans to attack infrastructure and S. Korea plans to level their capital. Japan will likely coordinate strikes with the U.S. Or, at the very least, provide the U.S. With places to launch attacks from.

>>136721919
Yes these EMP's which multi-stage reentry warheads to cover anything wider than a few kilometers. They're going to saturate the entire US's airspace with them. They're going to fire so many of them that even the US's missile defence won't be sufficient.
When they've only been able to put together rockets that can cross one ocean.

GO HOME AHMED

Another question: somebody somewhere else said that if the UN really wanted the sanctions to work, they'd just ban all oil imports into North Korea and watch them collapse within a week.

This seems about right, but I assume that China would veto that as it'd force a refugee migration: thoughts?

There will never be a pre-emptive strike, because they would be justified and without a doubt retaliate with nuclear weapons.

They will never attack first, because they just want to be left alone to their ass backwards ways, and they know a pre-emptive strike against Korea or any other nation would all but ensure their regime would cease to exist.

Having nukes truly is the only way to keep meddlesome countries like the US from attacking and pushing your shit in. Sure there will be threats and sabre-rattling, but at the end of the day, nobody is stupid enough to risk nuclear war. It's no wonder all these 3rd world shitholes want them.

You just pretend a nuclear reactor malfunctioned in Japan and use it as an use it as an excuse to mobilize and evacuate parts of SK. Then you do as big a first strike as possible on 1. Nuke/missile facilities 2. leadership 3. Artillery near the border.

Hopefully it would be a long clean up duty after that.

China built the missiles and bombs

China will eliminate Kim

The missiles and bombs will be under direct control from China

balance of terror will be restored

for younglings, this is how the world has been kept "safe" for 60 years

go back to worrying about global warming

stay chill, snowflakes

>>136723783
...but China already have a nuclear arsenal, including thermonuclear, ICBMs & subs. Why would they give a shit about having a North Korean 60kt pop-gun?

>>136708114
My friend was stationed in Japan as a naval officer and told me a couple years ago that our strategy at the time was purely defensive. We'd cut off all imports to NK and defend against any missiles/artillary fire on SoKo or Japan.

He said cutting off imports would cause more than half of the country to starve within a month. I think we're kinda doing that right now with our carriers in the area and world-wide sanctions. Now we're just waiting for their desperation move as they starve.

Or this strategy has been completely thrown out since and we're going to go scorched earth.

>>136713127
How the fuck would war drag on for a year? They'd all starve to death within a month or two without imports. This is a total joke.

>>136724687
they have 150 fabriques under earth, 1 kilometer.

>>136724687
>starve to death
>amerifats care only about food in war

lol your retardness is amazing.

US cant use nukes, cause the fallout would go to china... big problemo.

US will only bark and no action.

>>136725938
You do realize that before modern transportation and agriculture most deaths in war were due to disease and starvation, right? And you do realize North Korea has neither modern transportation nor modern agriculture, right?

>>136708114
It would have to be a precisely time full spectrum operation with the aim of driving the North Korean front line back at least fifty kilometers within a reasonable time frame whilst heavily utilizing civil authorities and their resources to evacuate Seoul during the duration of the mission for the short term.

The difficulty in doing this is that it would have to use readily available units, there can be no observable build up, because that would give the North Koreans time to prepare and she'll Seoul.

Massive air and naval cruise missile strikes from the USA and South Korea with Japanese maritime support would be used to destroy or suppress North Koreans SAM sites, as well as artillery batteries and surface to surface missile sites. Special operations teams would have to be inserted to facilitate this and disrupt North Koreans operations.

Rapid reaction forces on the ground would have to breach the DMZ and clear the way for follow on forces... Most likely they would have the objective of linking up with paratroopers that would be inserted on the other side. Their mission would be demining as well as eliminating or driving back North Koreans artillery.

Once pathways through the DMZ are cleared, heavy armor brigades and mechanized infantry would start moving into North Korea to force the enemy to withdraw.

The real threat is the artillery and missiles that the North has. In order to eliminate that threat, they need to force the North to retreat far enough that their guns cannot be used against civilian targets in the South. Once that objective is achieved, I assume they'd push on to Pyongyang with the objective of destroying their ability to resupply their forces, taking industry and warehousing centers. After that, decapitate the regime or offer terms.

To avoid a repeat of history, the US and South Koreans would have to stop well short of the Yalu river. But in doing this, they'd separate the North Korean government from their centers of power.

They have cities undeground.

All of you eat up the fake news about a confrontation with the Norks. It's all just hot air pay it no heed.

If a war does happen its not gonna be like the gulf war. It will be like the planned invasion of Japan in WWII. All of you underestimate a fanatical enemy that has enough guns pointed at Seoul to turn the area into a nice blood bath.

>>136718572
You're selling us short, because you are a cuck. Our guys would do as well of a job that can be expected and the strait of Juan de Fuca would be shut down hard by the lads and the US Navy. Too much shipping passes by the southern tip of Vancouver Island for the region not to be a strategic priority, since it also protects the entrance to the Puget Sound.

Seriously, stop being a cuck. Our military is small, but they're good at their jobs and won't be doing it alone.

From San Diego to Prince Rupert, British Columbia there are many large ports. Prime targets would be Longbeach and Seattle. But Vancouver is the fourth largest port in North America and second largest on the coast... It's close enough to the border to supply he US, so it is a target. The port of Prince Rupert is the closest to Korea and has a pretty big container terminal that has an uninterrupted rail line to Manitoba, which feeds into Chicago.

Targets would include San Diego, Long Beach, San Francisco, Portland and Vancouver, WA, Tacoma, Seattle, Everett and Bellingham, WA, Tswassen, Surrey, Vancouver, Nanaimo and Prince Rupert, BC... With the possibility of strikes against Stewart, BC, Juneau and other Alaskan ports.

Hawaii would probably get hit because of the opportunity.

It's unlikely that they'd get through, though.

>SB3-Ghoul Red team enters NK airspace moments after the Blue Team.
>It's fucking over
Now the show begins: Probably a carrier out of Yokuska makes a show with a few Super Hornets and Tomahawks. Maybe even some F15s out of Kadena and a solo B1B from Anderson make an appearance. This is all just for show, the real damage will have been done by the Ghouls who will happily be 2K miles away while CNN is going fucking crazy. No one will know they exist, but you will anon, you will.

>>136723566
I'm on a cargo ship right now and you aren't invading shit with these things. They're not meant to carry that many people... So if you packed then into containers, they would be in no shape to fight once they got here.

It also takes quite a bit of time to unload a cargo ship. There are only so many berths. Sailings are scheduled and accounted for.

Your plan is just shit, bro.

>>136710039
nobody really knows, its all guess work. They test the bombs so deep underground that there is no way to accuratel gauge it from seismographs and satellite imagry alone.

>>136708114

Realistically, there's 1 option to take out the threat:

>B2 strikes on nuclear and missile facilities and sites with B61 nuclear bombs set for bunker buster
>massive ASW operation
>massive cruise missile spam on military facilities, runways and bases
>massive air strikes against active NK forces alone the DMZ

It's a nuke war no matter what.

Nickelodeon has gone nuclear

>>136723927
just so they know they are under control and aren't going to get fired off at the US by surprise which would result in the destruction of the peninsula.

>>136733094
...why would they have built them for NK in the first place? >>136723783 is rambling nonsense.

>>136733642
I wouldn't be surprised if some Chinese scientists helped in the early stages of the NK nuclear program. I want to know who is helping the NORKs with their missile systems because they have made some insane advances over the last 1 to 2 years which is the most worrying part of all this.

>>136734058
I wouldn't be surprised to find Iraqi & Libyan scientists & engineers there.

>>136708114
These people aren't like some lame middle eastern army. these people throw themselves out windows for failing a high school exam. they live in a mountainous terrain. They border Russia, and China, as well as the southern Koreans. You could starve them, aerial bomb them, but what you would have to fight WW2 era style battles to defeat them.

Nah, I've seen some cloaking triangular UFOs that say otherwise...
Also, think of the costs, here:
>orbital kinetic strike
You need laser and radio comms set up, you need to drag your payload into orbit, you need to coordinate your drop points and the damage is highly pinpointed
>stealth bomber
Only requires builing a ground facility and can be loaded with non-nuclear weapons
>stealth TR3B
can slip in undetected, gently lay a nuke down on top of a building or base and zip out at mach7

The TR3B option is slightly more expensive than stealth bombers, but nowhere near as expensive or difficult as orbital strikes desu sempai
