We've had threads of the conflict (previous one was the little "war" between two of them few months ago), but they usually end up getting closed. And i'm sure you know the reason why. | ||

Long story short, we can't really respond with military violence + Show Spoiler + The big issue with dealing with all of North Korea's threats is that if they do in fact have nuclear warheads, they could launch one and have it hit Seoul in about 5 minutes. That's 14 million people. And they don't need a rocket that can go to space, they just need one strong enough to shoot a hundred miles or so. You can't evacuate a city Seoul's size that quickly, and for all the hype we have for our anti-nuclear defenses, none of them have been field tested. I don't think anyone wants to find out how well they do or don't work by using the population of South Korea as the guinea pig. EDIT: The mods have a very bizarre definition of what is anti-American (or anti-western or whatever) enough to dole out a warning. Edit 2: the revenge: So Kim Jong-Il died not terribly long ago. And now North Korea is having another Nuclear launch. Proven evidence of... Ghosts. *ba-dum tish* No, they haven't yet been able to miniaturise the nuclear device to the point where it can be used as a warhead. They'd have to put it on a truck or a boat and get it to Seoul that way. At the moment the risk to Seoul is from conventional munitions which will still level the place with colossal loss of life. | ||

North korea's artillery tubes won't "level" seoul with "colossal" loss of life. The south korean military would hit back the moment they fire the first shell. It's hard to do a lot of damage when your own weapons have been blown by enemy artillery or airstrikes. | ||

Because if North Korea keeps being aggressive in the region the us will have to fight them. It's too dangerous. But another problem is Iran.... And they want nukes to blow us up as well. So idk but the solution should start with Obama calling North Korea. Iran wants nukes to blow you up? Thats a new one. | ||

It would be pointless because China would just keep them going, any solution to the North Korea problem is going to have to involve bringing China onboard in a serious way. | ||

This is completely false. Even fairly conservative estimates put the losses of life in the hundreds of thousands at minimum. There is no question that the North Korean army could completely overrun the South Korean and U.S. army on foot with their initial waves. Would we push back? Of course, but not until at least a few days later, minimum. In the meantime North Korea would blow South Korea to shit. | ||
