i think the US has had anti missle defenses in SK for a while now... plus, they can take care of themselves...if they need our help, they will ask for it

Anti missile defense is great (maybe) against missiles. I did not say missiles. Seoul is within ARTILLERY range of North Korea.


Mutual Defense Treaty Between the United States and the Republic of Korea

- a treaty between South Korea and the United States Signed on October 1, 1953, two months after the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement which brought a halt to the fighting in the Korean War. The agreement commits the two nations to provide mutual aid if either faces external armed attack and allows the United States to station military forces in South Korea in consultation with the South Korean government.

.....The Republic of Korea and the United States agreed to a military alliance in 1953. They called it "the relationship forged in blood". In addition, roughly 29,000 United States Forces Korea troops are stationed in South Korea. In 2009, South Korea and the United States pledged to develop the alliance’s vision for future defense cooperation. Currently South Korean forces would fall under United States control should the war resume. This war time control is planned to revert to South Korea in 2020.

At the request of the United States, President Park Chung-hee sent troops to Vietnam to assist American troops during the Vietnam War, maintaining the second largest contingent of foreign troops after the United States. In exchange, the United States increased military and economic assistance to South Korea. President Roh Moo-hyun, despite having been elected on a liberal platform, also authorized dispatching a small contingent of troops to Iraq in 2004 at the request of President George Bush.



They have no need to ask.

thanks to Pres. Trumps persistence of pressuring china and his executive order to punish anyone from doing business with N. Korea he has gotten word from the major banks in china along with that governments support they are no longer dealing w/ N. Korea. Hope they're serious, but if they fulfill their promise than you can chalk this one up for mr. Trump. Something the last 3 presidents never accomplished .

10 million with conventional weapons is a big exaggeration, the anti missile system I referred to and then moe are regards to the missiles that have started this.

I could not knock them off my map so I just put some duct tape over
it. Should last for a while.

th t tape is great, multipurpose...

doesn't matter what you think, the SK leader already told trump no...

Thus far I have stated facts not what I think.

Fact
There is no scenario where S. Korea doesn't have appalling casualties estimated at 10 million people.

Fact
A missile defense system is next to useless against artillery.

Fact
A missile defense system is NOT guaranteed to stop every missile.

Fact
There is a mutual defense treaty in place where if one gets attacked the other assists. This includes S. Korean forces being under U.S. command until 2020.

What I think is something else entirely. I think that both Kim and Trump need to put the rulers away, zip up their trousers and talk intelligently to find a solution that does not involve Korean and American casualties.

lil Kim is an idiot, the leader of SK says no attacks from the US, and China says any radiation comes across their border, they will attack, NK or US...China wants a puppet government there, but won't attack unless lil Kim gets more stupid...Trump might be stupid to attack first, but he risks losing relations with SK if he does...
