HELL BREAKING LOOSE: Japan To Shoot Down N. Korean "satellite" (Get Ready For War!!!)

yes, why not.

Enough weaponry to kill a few thousand? Have you any idea of the size of the US arsenal?

if they start throwin their weight around NATO would put them in their place.

becuase it will kill more innocent civilians than combatants

vietnam, iraq, afghanistan x 2, etc. are examples of asymetrical warfare. Northkorea won't get defeated after decades of war.

yes i do.

short of carpet bombing the north, it is very difficult to kill THAT many of anyone, heck, even if they lined up 1,500,000 soldiers shoulder to shoulder it wouldn't be easy.

now if these 1.5 million soldiers are hiding in huge tunnel networks metres underground and never emerge outside it would be even more difficult, and if they have chemical, nuclear and biological weapons, and if they have learnt that the USA in unwilling to kill civilians and so might mix in with them.

and then after you defeat the nk government, you have a 1.whatevers-left-of-the-army million insurgency.
and then theres the approx 4.7 million strong Red Guard militia.


having said that, they do only officially have a budget of $6billion. LOL. and its debateable how many would bother fighting.

anyway my point is that 1.5/6.2 million of ANYONE is a tall order using conventional weapons.

yeah, and who would let their country do that?

who the **** has the right to kill 6 million people because you don't agree with them.

If south korea attacks north korea, i hope north korea ***** them up, i seriously do, not because i patriculary support the oppressing government of north korea, but because i dislike what America has done in korea, in afghanistan, in the middle east, in eastern europe, in south america, in africa etc. etc.

what can the US do to kill 1.5 million of anyone, barring unconventional weapons? missiles and planes might kill maybe a few thousand. how do you kill the rest?

imo any war with NK would be extremely tough, who would break the rules of war first..

ED: if they want to kill lots of NKs perhaps they should overthrow KJI and create a democracy

lmao, there is no difference between them. The insurgents in iraq are calling themselves the islamic army of iraq.

The only difference is the tactics they use and if those tactics are better then north korea will use them.

I thought Japan was never going to go to war again after WWII?

If they tried to invade NK, then yes, you're correct - but I don't see why this would be the assumption here. I suspect that it would be an Israel-on-Iran style series of tactical strikes by the US, Japan and S.Korean jets and navies to destroy NK's ability to launch much of anything without ever stepping a boot on N.Korean soil. The only border they'd need to defend would be the tiny DMZ with S.Korea which most likely just the S.Korean and US troops stationed there could do well enough. Basically, there'd be no need to occupy N.Korea - all they need to do is nullify its offensive capacity. Now, I daresay it wouldn't be as simple as Israel-on-Iran as Israel's intelligence system in Iran was considerably more advanced that what the West has in N.Korea I imagine, but still, I don't think there'd be any need at all to occupy.

And how would an army of 1.5million conduct succesful guerrilla warfare?

The opinions expressed above are not representative of Loafer, Loafer neither agrees with or endorses the quoted commentary above.

lmao, you clearly know nothing about warfare then, look at Irans army, we have 11-13 million guerilla fighters called basijs, and most of our army are trained in guerilla tactics.

yes i do.

Demoralise them...forcing them to surrender.

I doubt that all the 1.5million soldiers are half as fanaticle as the administration would like.

And how would an army of 1.5million conduct succesful guerrilla warfare?

Not to mention the fact that they would eventually run out of resources anyway.

But anyways...constitutions can change - I am willing to bet that people would be in support of it if North Korea started to become overtly agressive in terms of military ventures.

Our Army won't be the main forces invovled. Ther Americans on the other hand - have proved time and time again that they operate best in 'conventional' warfare.

Besides N.Korea wouldn't repsond to invasion in that way, their army isn't trained in that way.

It wouldn't even factor into it until North Korea was defeated. As was teh case in Iraq.

we're all forgetting that the countries that would fight north korea don't have any money lol.
