I know there is a huge risk of a high casualty count. But how long does this patience game of sanctions, etc. drag out? Fall 2017, 2018??

As soon as they overshoot the Sea of Japan.

We've got over 40,000 soldiers in harm's way so we're kinda limited with our choices. We'd almost have to go all in and first strike fat Kim to keep them from retaliating.

We have three carrier groups in the region, no?

We'll get an air campaign that quickly turns into a conventional war.

Trump and China negotiate the reunification of N and S Korea. Trump wins reelection in a landslide.

This seems to indicate a desire on your part for war vs NK?

No?

It's not just about regime change. This is a country of brainwashed civilians who believe their leader is a god. What happens after Kim Jong Un is deposed? Even hardcore British neoconservative Douglas Murray said on Fox the other day you'd need 2 million psychiatrists instead of 2 million troops if we somehow deposed Kim Jong Un.

North Korea's existence is a problem now, but a full scale civil war being waged on the Korean Peninsula, in such close proximity to China and Russia, should not be our endgame.

My guess is nothing, barring they don't do something extreme. It becomes a new, scarier world.

I would also like to add that this whole predicament belongs to Clinton/Bush/Obama. This should've solved long before it got to this point.

NK will likely out kick their coverage and finally try to strike the US. It either fails or we intercept. Then we are justified in a response to everyone in the region. I'm sure there are 20 plans on what we do if that happens.

Oddly, the real problem is North Korean conventional weapons (artillery) heavily fortified in caves and secure emplacements merely 35 miles from Seoul, South Korea. They are so numerous and so powerful and Seoul is so heavily populated and proximate that you could not stop massive urban casualties even with a preemptive strike of significant magnitude. I am sure that there are many people in the DOD "gaming" this situation who are way more informed that Tigerdroppings that are trying to figure this out and maybe know the answer. However, so far I have not seen a plausible solution.
