Same scenario, but HRC is in the WH, same response.

If this was 2001, I'd be dead. I was stationed just north of Seoul at that time.

I would log on the PoliBoard and post that meme with Ron Burgundy drinking a longneck and saying "Boy, that escalated quickly".

But I would not nuke North Korea without also nuking Iran.

From what I recall, modern nuclear weapons leave relatively no fallout, as opposed to a dirty bomb.

Unless we have absolute, concrete proof that the North Koreans have nukes on missiles ready to go to hit Japan and the western United States intending to launch within hours there is no chance in hell we would use nukes first.

You should take a look at Japan. I know it was an "atom" bomb, but that area is not unusable

Grab water, food, bullets, and guns. Gas up the cars and GTFO of town. The clock is ticking, and you don't want to be stuck in a major metropolitan area.

My first thought would be the type of nuke being used. Is it something like a 1 kiloton bunker busting warhead? If so, then I have no problem with it. If the U.S. starts lobbing 100 + kiloton strategic nukes then I'll worry.

NK is a problem the U.S./world is going to have to face head on. Unless NK has a 180 deg shift in their posturing/rhetoric, the conflict will be inevitable, so the sooner the NK regime is taken out, the better.

We aren't going to hit NK with nukes first.

So I don't have to worry about this.

I don't see us pre-emptively attacking NK. For all they have done... it's all been talk. Now, if they fire one shot that lands in an ally's country, all bets are off.

My reaction initially would be why nukes?

What brought us to the conclusion that nukes were the best option?


The only situation I can think of where nukes could be a option as a first strike would be if we were facing a insurmountable situation. Where we knew our enemy was planning attack us with nukes.

NK Koksan guns would be leveling Seoul and the entire north end from Camp Casey on down.
