A declaration of war ???

[oppsImissed]

Watching NBC nightly news. Could this escalate? Thoughts?
Ive never really considered a country attacking tge USA.

Could it escalate? Considering the mental derangement of the leaders involved, certainly!

We are technically still at war, there was only a cease fire.

Its not like they could invade...

They can attack our shipping (which would suck considering how few ships we have now). They can attack oil rigs off the west coast with diesel subs and sub par bombers.
They can keep japanese and taiwanese products from coming to the US. that would probably be good for the US economy...

They can lob nukes at the west coast. That would be a horrible mistake on their part, but their leader is a bit crazy.

They can attack us allies. S Korea would likely be hurt badly. Taking out the artillery along the DMZ would have to be a priority for the stealt fighters and cruise missiles. I would expect our satelite guys have every one of those things located as well as their missile bases. The first few days of this would be spectacular. The deaths in S Korea would be horrible most likely.

How would Russia and China react to a war with N Korea?

Why are we even talking about war when we have real problems like the oppressed NFL players? 95% of news coverage is about that stupid game. Shows how far we have fallen as an informed people.

That was during WWII. Not now unfortunately. I bet 2 out of 3 blades of grass would be unoccupied now!

(OTOH, most gun owners don't own just one gun any more. We have enough to arm at least a few neighbors!)


Of course NK could invade Los Angeles without a shot being fired... at least from a legally owned firearm!

Los Angeles is probably too high to give a damn though. They'd just ask for doritos and let them walk right in.

An attack would never touch US soil, b/c if it did, N Korea would no longer exist.

War was never actually declared back in 50's, owing to the title "Korean Conflict." It should make resolutions complicated and set some unique precedents.

Don’t forget about China, Russia and Iran. If China was going to do anything to help de-escalate anything they would have by now. Putin I’m sure is mad as hell about US intervention in Syria so I don’t doubt he would be on board for a fight. And Iran hates us. The NORKs aren’t the problem, it’s everyone else.

If anything, they are pushing this. Wouldn't surprise me if they were helping the NK nuke program...

My gut feeling is that Iran and China are. Not sure about Russia really. Even if they don’t get directly involved they will supply NK under the table in a proxy war just like Syria to try to dethrone us as the world leader/superpower/whatever else they dislike is for. And I don’t think the deep state here wants to stop it either. If anything they are undermining any attempt to avoid war. Why I don’t know, maybe trying to avoid a major economic crash. That’s my gut feeling anyway.
