As soon as they start sending troops to the border of South Korea we will overfly them and carpet bomb the heck out of them and use SATJDMs and blow up their armor. Will fly sortie after sortie off of Japan and South Korea. until we have neutralized his ground forces.
The US would just land a 40 or 50 thousand tropps in SK and mop up and rogue NK combatants they find. That would be easy.
The big fear right now is allowing China to take NK completly. This gives China political power as the US will seem "weak" to the other asian countries and THEY will now turn to CHINA for support and protection.

The U.S. will respond in any way (hopefully) because they have NO right to go off and tell people they can not have nuclear weapons when America has the largest nuclear weapons arsenal after Russia.

And about the post stating the US has the largest nuke arsenal after Russia, isnt that outdated? Russia no longer has the ability to maintain the arsenal they once had, I think we now have the most, dont we?

Yeah, cant argue with that. Hopefully nuclear war never happens, its not likely, the ultimate goal of a war is to win, luckily the super nuclear powers of the world are all run by money, I dont think theyre tired of being rich. No money to be made in nuclear slag. I think ultimately China will reign in NK, well give them aid. We can only hope India or Pakistan dont fall under the control of fundamentalist psychos, or that Iran doesnt develop any weapons. Man, we got a mess to clean up.

The only way they could nuetralize our Navy is with one of there own. They never posessed any Carriers and most of there surface fleet is decaying peerside. Besides all of the equipment problems they would have, most of there naval bases are land locked, Kamchatka is the only one that is not.

The problem with the Russian military is reliability, It was hard enough for them to maintain there equipment during the cold war. Now lack of funding and instability in the economy has turned most of there hardware into a scrap pile.

There Air Force suffers the same fate. They would never be able to sustain an attack to cripple our Navy. Sea power is as vital as Air superiority. Control of the shipping lanes and Power Projection is the Navy's primary function, one that is unmatched by any other country.
