North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has fired his top general amid a shakeup of the country’s military leadership and wants his army to “gird for a war,” state media reported Thursday.
My biggest concern here is that Kim Jong-Un has been holding off on war until he had ICBMs, which it’s now the case, and they can reach any target in the US.
How many do they have and what would be the plan after they fired all 15?
Lose the war and become somebody else’s problem.
I really think they can pull that one off.
Does NK even have enough intel to reliably target critical infrastructure?
It wouldn’t surprise me if a Russian diplomat accidentally dropped a folder filled with the targets they’d go for if they were in a position where they had to nuke some targets.
I’d trust that the US’s missile defenses could pretty easily stop North Korea’s entire arsenal. They’re not getting anywhere else China/Russia/whoever also launched a strike, at which point we’re all fucked anyway.
Nuclear war is bad for business, I really, really doubt China’s interested in starting one on NK’s whim
When the CCP pops the tombstone out in half a decade to join Putin’s failed USSR 2.0, they’ll be leaving little ol’ Un in his land island all alone and orphaned of big bullies to ally with. Thats when shit is gonna get fucky. NK doesn’t do business.
This is how I imagine China and North Korea in international relations.
No they can’t. They can maybe, if the wind is just right and luck is with them, reach the West Coast Hawaii is questionable as well.
It seems that Kim Jung Un’s most recent solid fuel ICBMs have benefited from Russian help. It also explains the increased range.
