ZenOps Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) The US is at least partially to blame for creating instability in the area. Realistically, conventional weaponry pales in comparison to radioactivity. Two grams of polonium, a few pounds of cobalt and nickel mixed in a mash could easily cause a US city evacuation. Kim most definitely has enough nuclear waste now to screw over every single city in the USA without even detonating an actual nuke. The US has had several decades to try and apologize, it may be too late now. The bigger question to me is: Will North Korea attempt just eye for eye retribution, or will they attempt a real invasion on US soil?

Much easier to bomb/invade Canada, which also fought against North Korea in the Korean War. Don't beg Trump or the USA to do anything about the incoming warheads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenOps Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) On a slightly different note: the ICBM that North Korea launched yesterday (July 4 2017) went almost straight up. If they were launching it conventionally, it would have hit Alaska pretty easily. Kim Jong might go for the ultimate bargaining chip, an orbital nuke. An orbital nuke that passes over the USA, Britain, Australia, Antarctica, basically everyone on the planet every 7 to 14 minutes or so for at least a couple years (like a LEO satellite) Afterall, if they actually drop one in an arc over Hawaii, it might elevate a first strike attempt. They could set it so that any tampering would cause it to detonate on impact (so, wherever it randomly landed - North Korea would easily be able to blame the US) and only North Korea would have a "don't explode" code. China has had some small success taking down an orbital satellite, but its far from perfected, especially a fast moving LEO satellite.

An ICBM uses the launch and boost phase to impart a ballistic trajectory for its warhead or multiple warhead bus. North Korea has not yet demonstrated this level of warhead targeting and altimeter/radar fuzing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess one could say the US is to blame under Clinton, since he sent that peanut farmer to offer millions to NK if they promised to not take that same money and buy nuclear technology with it. So Trump has to clean that up, and he might as well clean Iran's clock as well as they're trying mightily to ride that nuclear dragon. If Iran gets the nukes that were gifted by Obama, I wonder if the MSM will even notice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would explain why we treat the terrorist enabling mullahs with anything less than total contempt. Instead, we kiss their hairy butts.

ZenOps Posted August 5, 2017 Report Share Posted August 5, 2017 USA contemplating pre-emptively nuking North Korea without a pre-cursor act of aggression. I can imagine that the US is also contemplating nuking Iran and possibly even Ukraine just so it doesn't look like they are only targeting Asians.

Bad timing right now...Washington D.C. has been invaded by Canadian government officials trying to influence U.S. politicians on NAFTA. The Canadians are far more worried about trade with the world's largest economy than North Korean nukes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 38 states who have Canada as their #1 customer will be the first to simply ignore Trump and carry on with their existing trade. But since our west coast is also as close to NK, we thought that dinner idea might be a way of calming things. Maybe Rodman could go for another visit and hand deliver an RSVP invite from the Donald.

The U.S. can negotiate trade agreements and work with Asian allies on North Korea...Canada can't. This is how much more dependent Canadian provinces are on the U.S. export market than are the "38 states": Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
