Doubt there would be a ground war. The US would look to use air power and cruise missiles to obliterate NK targets. The US Navy/Airforce are nowhere near stretched in the Middle East. If it did come to a ground war I would think that SK would provide the soldiers and the US would provide air cover and maybe some special forces.

I'm no expert though...

hmm, that does sound logical and could work. im shure though the us would want some of their soldiers on the ground to support the SK

Good point. And I also thought about how Russia has made the Euro its main reserve currency, over the USD last week.

Is that another coincidence? Or maybe there was a real solid economic reason for that?

Good Tidings bro's and sis's all over the World..

If China and Russia, do not bust a grape towards North Korea, the situation is much more complicated, and by chance nothing will happen because we are going to be scared of the Chinese and Russians.. I think that is the spade Kim has. I can't call it but if Russia and china don't catch the plane to more or less cut all trade and cut all aid to the North Koreans, then they choose their side. No gray area there. Also will continue to prove the UN is broken, in order to keep peace at least. trying to find some info on some public statements on where china and Russia stand. I saw some moderate sanctions appeal to them but that is more or less copping out, from making a decision.. Also a good possibility to see some violence in Korea in the next coming days maybe weeks.. Good chance for some probes or excursions. Might be should be interesting to see how we deal with the North Koreans with nukes thou. I am sure we don't want him having it, and if we can't talk about it, then I am wondering if we are going to fight over it. Time to start investing in ICBM defense for sure nowadays..

shoulda listened to Regan, in the 80's and got that dang star wars built..

ok guys get this, bit of an update on the report earlier:

US officials and i quote are "extremely worried" in the last few hours due to a lot of movement of men, equipment and materials at the west missile base of sanum dong. This was observed in the last few hours apparently. The report went onto say this resembles preparations seen for a long rang missile launch or test.

That was just on fox news as "new news"

This whole thing is just insane to me, i can't understand why america even went to korea in the first place then occupying that country for 50 years?
Korea belongs to Koreans.... if i was KJ i'd be pissed too, Korea does not belong to America and they have no buisness being there give Korea back to the Koreans and gtfo imo America cant even feed/house all the own people and they still spend billions of dollars on countries that do not concern them i just dont understand it.

NoKo (i.e. North Korea) must know that we are watching them, and that we can see what they're doing?

Are they planning their suicide?

Could China launch a pre-emptive strike? What if they suddenly did show the world what they do have and literally wiped out the missles sites and then rolled on into NK? What if the Soviets did it to show the world they are still a world power. I see something to that affect occurring before a US strike.

What would SK and the US do?

ahhhh s***, what a perfect time to be going into the US army. for me i leave july 28 for basic so ill be fresh out when or if this comes rolling around
