They SANK a bloody ship not too long ago. Nothing happened then for the same reason nothing will happen now, because the big chinese panda will 'disapprove' ANY actions against its puppet. Make no mistake about who the real enemy is going to be in this part of the world.
totally agree. but if you listen to the 'intellectual' warriors out there then all you'll hear is that China can be our friend if only we reach out to them...what a bunch of idiots.
South Korea and the US, we're just showing that we can be walked all over. Seriously makes you wonder what is the "line" before we use more than words.
"I'm just really surprised that the S. Korean people are so soft..."
Bottom line is that the NORKORs have the South Koreans by the family jewels. The entrenched artillery pointed at Seoul is what makes the Southeners nervous. The combined NORKOR artillery will have the same effect as a surprise nuclear strike at their capital, and not just the city.
Seoul also houses their government, stock market, various large business headquarters, large banks and other important multinational offices - an artillery strike would litterally "decapitate" the entire South Korean society.
Of course there are contingency plans, but to rebuild something that took generations of South Koreans to build is no laughing matter.
All the more reason to attack now, a quick strike to get rid of that artillery. the longer they wait the more time the N.Koreans have to prepare. we have what we need to win this war right now, why wait any longer.
ummm. i don't know about a preemptive strike on a shaky regime. a limited strike immediately after the first volley would have been justified and made sense. a strike now would be dicey politically and could easily spiral out of control.
whats the answer? i don't know. what i do know is that some type of action IS required or else these lunatics will keep it up. BUT we're stretched thin.
another reason to pull out of Europe, fortify our positions in Asia and get a Marine base in Australia (northern territories)

ReplyDeleteFrom what I can tell and after watching the leadership in Washington and Seoul, there is no line.
ReplyDeleteI'm just really surprised that the S. Korean people are so soft. I would think that they would be demanding blood but they just take it.
Have you seen the Order of Battle? 2nd ID has one heavy brigade, three Stryker Brigades and one aviation brigade.
Not much, and they're all stacked up on the border--within artillery range.
If this goes south, this will be messy. It'll make Iraq/Afghanistan look like a picnic.
