      Every assessment I have seen says that South Korea would crush the North's obsolete military with or without the aid of America. Aside from China wanting North Korea as a buffer zone, the main thing that has kept America and South Korea back hasn't been concerns about whether or not we could defeat the North, it's that nobody wants to deal with a refugee crisis caused by the North's regime toppling and nobody wants to do the work to fix that country.

      ​@@michael9433 They are such a powerful super power that they didn't win any direct war after ww2. In truth the US can't attack nk as astounding as it sounds. If they could attack nk then they would have done it after the collapse of the Soviet Union and instill a puppet dictator. As of now nk has relations with Russia, china etc who would fund and support nk just like how the EU or the United States do with Ukraine, only this time they have a compatible military whether we accept or reject the notion that the US has better military technology. Ukraine was a failure as it didn't destabilize Russia , with sk your only viable supporters would be Japan and the United States (who doesn't want to completely stop its relations with china) . Including the EU would overstretch its economical aid (and that is if its aid even reaches sk. The us can make multiple fronts due to its geopolitical position and relations, after that it is economically outperformed by china and it's outperformed by Russia in military (again, chugging cash into the drain doesn't automatically mean you would have an equally good result). And that's all without considering the fact that nk has nukes.. Pre Ukraine you could make the case of whatever you had said but as of now the US is at a political turmoil and simply saying "we will spend billions and equipment in Ukraine, Israel and sk!! 😃" would cause even more economical instability with broken relations. The only way for the US to at least have the possibility to do whatever you had said it would need to stop the Ukrainian conflict by making amends with Russia and accepting its terms(which are the most straight forward and realistic terms in the negotiation) . Then it would need to put its shit together for a time and swiftly end the Israeli-pakistan conflict as its a money and equipment drain. So you would literally need to pull a "what if everything went good for the US" to do whatever you had said

  • @RainbowYak
    @RainbowYak 4 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา +88

    I've lived in South Korea and my ex-wife comes from there, so it feels a bit like my second home. Still, I'm currently not too worried about a possible invasion. There's good reason to be vigilant but we shouldn't blow the danger out of proportion. For starters, it's not at all clear whether China will truly invade Taiwan. At the present time, they are heavily disincentivized from doing so because they profit from the western economic order. Economic stability is everything to the Chinese leadership because it's the only thing that keeps China's huge population from revolting and demanding more democratic structures. Furthermore, Kim Jong Un isn't a madman in my opinion. He may wield his nukes as a means to scare his enemies but I can't imagine him going through with an actual nuclear attack over a populated area. Besides, he's not the only one in possession of nuclear warheads and he knows that. What's the point of incinerating Seoul if the US retaliates and incinerates Pyongyang? Another factor that has been left out of this video are America's numerous allies, particularly in Europe. Many Americans assume that European countries would stay neutral because they refused to join America's war in Iraq. However, Iraq and Afghanistan can't be compared with a WWIII. For one, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and America's invasion was completely unprovoked. The situation in Afghanistan was a little more complicated but at the end of the day, that too, was an unprovoked invasion. As a European myself, I get why many European leaders felt it was crazy to sacrifice their own male population to forcefully democratize Afghanistan or steal Iraq's oil. I'm sure the political calculus would look different if Taiwan or South Korea were invaded because both of them are European allies and both of these invasions would be unprovoked (i.e. Taiwan and South Korea would be the victim). Depending on how the Russian-Ukrainian war continues to develop, some leaders may also feel that all of these conflicts are interconnected and refusing to support Taiwan/South Korea would come back to bite Europe in the ass. For this reason, I think countries like the UK and France (perhaps even Germany, Poland, Italy and Spain) would get much more invested in these conflicts than they are currently. It's worth mentioning that taken together, France and the UK alone outspend Russia in terms of military budgets. Out of the 10 countries with the highest military budgets, 8 are the US or American allies. The only exceptions are China and Russia; North Korea doesn't even make the list. China and Russia, North Korea and Iran have a combined military budget of approx. USD $425 billion. Meanwhile, India, Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, Germany, Ukraine, and Japan (all top 10) have a combined military budget of approx. USD $575 billion. South Korea adds another $45 billion to this, while Taiwan adds another $16 billion. In other words, North Korea and its allies are already outspent massively. And this doesn't even include the US, which approved a defense budget of $841 billion for 2024. And while China is a global superpower, I'd still venture to say that at least at the present time, America and Europe have an edge when it comes to military technology. I'm pretty sure Kim Jong Un and Xi Jinping know this and they will think very carefully whether a military adventure is truly worth it for their country. I'm still convinced Putin made a big miscalculation by attacking Ukraine. Even if he wins the war, which isn't at all certain, it will be a pyhrric victory. I mean... 150,000 dead soldiers after 3 years of fighting, that's ridiculous. That's nearly 4 times the US casualties during the Vietnam War.

      The US invasion of Afghanistan was completely justified. They hosted Al Qaeda and refused American demands to quell them. According to this logic the Israeli invasion of Lebanon today is unprovoked, because it was in response to the militia actually ruling the country rather than the shell of the Lebanese state.
      Much can be said about American mistakes in Afghanistan, but the binary question of whether the initial invasion was justified is an unequivocal yes.

    Quick thing about the subs, diesel submarines main issue is not being loud - they don't* run diesel engines underwater, only above water or just below water with a snorkel. They rely on electric batteries to move when properly submerged. So the issue is most of the time they operate on the water, not under it - making their position visible. They only dive for relatively short periods of time when needed (attacking, escaping) - most of the time they're above water. Their range isn't that short either, but yes not unlimited like a nuclear sub.
    So really, the issue is that a nuclear-armed nuclear sub relies on being anywhere at any time, and a diesel sub will have to be surfaced for a significant amount of time, eliminating that advantage.
    *And yes, diesel subs can extend their submerged time with air independent propulsion, but that also relies on oxidizer that is consumable, and that is consumed very quickly. It's not meant for continuous use.

    Having seen ROK troops in maneuvers, and having a pretty solid idea what the KPA looks like ... the North can *hurt* South Korea, but is utterly incapable of successfully invading.
    There are three usable invasion routes into the South: one along the east coast, one along the west coast, and one down MSR 3 into the Uijeongbu Bowl. The first two routes are a waste of time and would only be useful as diversionary axes of attack. The third is *the* viable invasion route, as Seoul has no defensible terrain worth a damn once you enter the Bowl.
    ROK officers are not stupid, they are more than aware of this and have planned accordingly. Every bridge is wired for demolition, every hill has been fortified, and a hell of a lot more.
    Technologically, the North is totally outclassed. ROK troops have modern body armor and night-vision optics along with some of the most advanced and capable armor and artillery assets on earth (Samsung and Hyundai make a hell of a lot more than cell phones and automobiles) while Northern troops are still using Soviet-era equipment that is often deeply out of date. The South also has more (and more advanced) artillery, in addition to force multipliers like counter-battery radar (which they are quite competent at using).
    Not to mention the US forces on the peninsula, bringing with them the best infantry on the planet and the best intelligence picture of any country in the world. Once a handful of very specific units (including the KPA heavy bridging units) move past pre-plotted lines, the 8th Army starts calling for backup and the US Military starts sending in more forces (in addition to the seriously capable ROK forces already present).
    An invasion by the North will destroy a lot of towns and kill a lot of people, but their military forces are hopelessly outmatched. If the North breaks the Nuclear taboo, B-2 bombers and Trident SSBNs are likely to make an appearance as well (not to mention the almost certain deployment of US special operations personnel, who will rack up unbelievable kill counts against unarmored and situationally-blind NK troops).

    I don't think you can debunk speculation, but I'd say it's not very likely. The time frame is part of it. Assuming that you aren't saying Russia is just going to give North Korea the fully manufactured weapons systems and that it's just a tech transfer, I don't see NK being able to meet even the 2030 timeline wrt being able to manufacture even Russian levels of tech with their current tech base. Then there is the use of nuclear weapons, which would be a hard red line that I don't see even the Russians shielding NK from the consequences, let alone China, even if China is engaged in a Taiwan adventure. Basically, it's the reason Russia hasn't used a nuke in Ukraine...it's a red line that every country would honor if crossed. Use of them would basically be declaring total war not just on the South but on the entire Western alliance...even the Europeans wouldn't sit by, thumb up ass for that. The US would literally go ballistic, and so would Japan. Finally, unless NK is willing to use their nukes extensively on the South...which kind of renders moot an invasion...the South would kick the NKs ass conventionally. I'll just point out one more point...all of these regimes, with the possible exception of China, are on the verge of collapse at this stage. And frankly, China ain't lookin' so good either, economically. Pretty obviously, this 'alliance' between NK and Russia is a desperate move by both parties, and it will only go as far as each party thinks it directly benefits them...and here I'm talking about Kim and Vlad. Neither is going to really stick their neck out for the other when the chips are down. And the China factor is that China is not that happy with either right now for escalating the conflict in Ukraine by introducing NK troops. Just my off the cuff thoughts FWIW....I think this is improbable, but I suppose it could happen.

    It is a pretty popular idea as well in the south, even without the eminent threat of escalation.
    North korean nuclear weapons can really only be a defensive tool as long as the regime is not suicidal, since it would desolve its shield that was blocking the arrows of conventional weapons, and invite heavier retaliation.

    The most dangerous countries in the world to have nuclear weapons are countries that have nothing to lose (NK) countries that believe in holy war and are ok with dying in a radioactive wasteland (Iran) and countries that are extremely unstable and in many ongoing disputes with another nuclear power (Pakistan). If Nuclear war is to occur, it will most definitely be as a result of the actions of one of these three countries. Russia loves bluffing with nuclear weapons but all they are doing is puffing up their chests to look strong as they fall further and further out of the geopolitical sphere of influence.

If you are talking about a conventional ground war then I would agree if their military equipment was on par with western forces but even with Russia's full support it will never be. This can be seen in how a relatively small army in Ukraine is stopping a "world superpower" from taking even a quarter of their country.

    One note: Isn't it true that the DPRK fell back on its nuclear energy when normalization talks with the US and the ROK, and only began making nuclear weaponry in proper when these peace talks fully broke down after top US officials under Bush started talking about turning the DPRK into a charcoal crater? I feel like you got the cause and effect switched but could be wrong. I like that you noted that Un is rational, we have to be careful of thinking world leaders are completely irrational, it can often be a tactic to come off as such for various reasons, like Nixon's so called "Madman strategy" or whatever it was called where he tried to do that, something currently also applicable to Israeli leadership. Many of these people arent insane so to speak but acting under an often unempathetic hyperrationality. I'm glad you noted this potential for an explosion of conflict isn't necessary. Sorry, but I don't have a hopeful analysis to give you though. The US could cool this down after like a 1 minute phone call just like they could end the gen* in Gaza, but they won't. Kamala follows the democratic neocolonial bloodlust line, and Trump follows the the "the Israel lobby and the MIC pays me and I gotta look out for me" which means he stumbles into even more bloodthirsty policies. It's truly lesser evil voting when it comes to foreign policy which I believe has the potential to ruin or end the lives of millions right now, on top of the atrocities already committed. I think the only way to stop these atrocities that the US could fix or not cause with ease we would either need a complete democrat party leftward overhaul or a third party (not any of the current main parties) to come in and take its place. I fear we'll have to hope the next generation of politicians is more progressive, but even if that does happen, how many will die as a result of the old vanguard holding on in that time period

    When talking submarines, diesel submarines are generally far quieter than the alternatives. Due to all the water intake needed to cool nuclear reactors, nuclear submarines have by far the largest emission profile of the two. The naval part is just wrong on so many levels. Also, if NK subs were easy to detect, you wouldn't see so many incursions in SK TTW. The trade-off with Deisel to Nuclear is theoretical endurance. Without the need to refill, a nuclear submarine could technically stay underwater for a great deal longer, depending on logistical stores. Which is completely irrelevant when operating in the coastal and litoral waters that any naval engagement would take place in.

      Well you are right and wrong at the same time... Yes, modern, top of the line diesel-electric submarines are more quiet than nuclear ones. On the other hand: the 1950-1960s era submarines (Romeo and November class boats, even Kilo class) are definitely noisy compared to anything the western power have nowadays.
      And I agree, NK doesnt need high endurance boats to put up significant challange to western navies near the Korean coast. The electric motors are still fairly quiet until while the batteries last.

But in the current situation, US/South Korea must improve both avenues: make war look worse for North Korea, and make diplomacy look better.

    2 - Japan will be indispensable in either scenario to the American side; Japan will not miss a chance to force the U.S. to break its militarisation ban. Japan will welcome the involvement.
    3- All in all, this isn't simply a matter of tension between any two states; rather, it is a political theatre of five nations (Japan, China, the Koreas and Taiwan) sharing history and water and who are all in high suspense.

    Bearing this in mind, Kim's decision to send troops to Ukraine makes sense.

I wouldn't be surprised to see combat survivors returning to train North Korean troops in modern techniques of warfare.
