NK does not have 13,000 functioning artillery pieces. The few thousand that are functioning and pointed towards Seoul will be taken out quickly by counter artillery and airstrikes. Mobile rocket platforms are the only artillery that will be left to threaten deep into SK after the first hour. The nuclear devices that NK has detonated thus far are likely still the size of a bus and lack the proper design to be delivered by rocket or bomber. Even if they managed to fit it on a bomber it wouldn't make it south of the DMZ. The damage to Seoul in a conflict with NK is overblown.

So as long as DPRK doesn't hit anything with its first two or three salvos, South Korea should skate?

Sounds promising.

I believe Pakistan deserves a little blame,or maybe a lot,for North Korea's Nuclear Program.

Based on the news of the coal shipments, it's very possible.

Add to that today's news that China just refused a shipment of NK coal (and will start importing from the USA instead).

I think China realized Fat Boy was unstable but wasn't sure if we were going to hang them out to dry--last week's meeting in Florida probably soothed a lot of nerves and paved the way to deal with this problem once and for all.

Is there a link to them replacing it with US Coal? I havent' seen that in print yet.

Also I wonder how the anti-Trump media will try to spin this.

We have a 3-page thread on this.

If you want it in print, press CTRL+P

MSM will say that Trump is putting poor North Koreans out of work (even though China refused the shipment, not us)

I used to be the 2ID Targeting Officer Stationed at CRC in Uijongbu. I know for a fact they have platforms capable of hitting near Seoul. Also the area North of Seoul is densely packed population wise. Their artillery pieces are formidable, but we know exactly where they are and know every move they make. Taking them out is our and ROK Army's number one priority if the balloon goes up.

Yea, there is artillery imbedded on the NK side of the mountain that's going to be almost impossible to see. They will actually have the upper hand initially before we begin the counter offensive.

Trust me, we know exactly where they are and we track their movement every single day. I can honestly say that I have first hand experience with this.
