I was stationed in Camp Casey during 2006, and, one day on a road march, I asked Top what we would do if North Korea came over the border. Top stopped the whole formation and explained that all our bases and all our military assets were already dialed into their artillery and rockets, and that our battlefield role was to be a speed bump for North Koreans while The U.S. and South Korea reacted. I never forgot that.
Very interesting. It reminds me of NATO troops in Eastern Europe.
@@orangecat504nazi nato troops yeah. Gotta cleanse the Serbians from Bosnia and kosovo somehow
@@orangecat504 I would say that our groups in eastern Europe are a deterrent. It's about proving that we are willing to back up our NATO allies.
It also forces ourselves to act if Putin does something. If our troups die in Latvia we're gonna have to do something, and Putin knows that.
That will in theory stop Putin from trying anything. Which will lead to no conflict whatsoever.
It's like stationing a police officer to stop speeding, or a home alarm to prevent burglars.
This is the same thing I was told by our brass and that it's supposed to slow the north down so that the us fleet and air lifts can arrive
I think that completely takes away from how important your job was, along with the active duty SK forces, although it would be very bloody it would be imperative that the active duty personnel close to the border fight tooth and nail, because the south Koreans have mandatory conscription they have a massive base of trained men but would need time to raise reserve units or volunteer units like the Ukrainian TDF, organize them, arm them, and give them training on new weapons, tactics and systems, and US forces outside Korea would need time to get in country especially if they are coming from the mainland US, obviously troops from bases like Japan and Guam could be there in days to weeks but considering how massive the Norths army is there will need to be large quantities of men and equipment brought in from North America, the bulk of it by ship, I would not want to be a soldier on or near the DMZ durring the initial hours or days of a conflict, that being said depending on their actions and depending on how feircly they resist it could save the lives of countless civilians if they are given time to flee, and the less ground given the fewer US and South Korean soldiers would need to die later in the conflict taking that ground back, also the less ground taken the less damage would be done to the south Korean infrastructure and economy and could be the difference between a long road to economic recovery and millions of refugees or a short term recession that wouldn't hamper south Korean long term economic ambitions
The US throughout the middle east (and russia in ukraine) basically proves the phrase "Actions speak louder than words" Libya being the most blatant example as to why a country will never give up its nukes from now on.
Every last Native American will testify to the fact that no one can ever trust an American "peace" treaty.
Ukraine learned that the hard way unfortunately
Honestly I don't understand why people and leaders of a country would ever give up nukes in any scenario
There are the most foolproof backup plan and a deterrent and no matter if you are surrounded by friends or enemies, it makes them think twice before doing something stupid
We didn't have the ability of Building a nuke system in libya anyway, so giving up was the smart choice for a stupid decision.
But i believe that north Korea wouldn't dare to have it's own nuke without the permission of world's super powers.
India and Pakistan+ korea and south Korea+ russia and europe, all of this makes me think that someone wants to keep "the current status" for an actual nuclear war.
@@tylerkoch5255 those nukes in Ukraine were non-operational Soviet era trash. The Budapest agreement was about securing broken and decaying nuclear hazards, not disarmament. They could not have used those nukes even if they wanted to.
I have doubts that South Korea backing out of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty would make them into a pariah. Not only are they economically important on a global scale, not to mention the influence from the Korean diaspora within many allied nations, but South Korea is also still ideologically aligned with these nations whether or not they have nukes. At most, they would only lose their most tenuously linked trading partners.
Also SK is a important chip maker, which only like 2 countries in the world are.
Koreans are basically Americans
Not for long
Nk would almost certainly see that as an act of aggression
@@Aaron-sx7zfWhat is alternative? Wait for day they attack?
Obama gave “strategic patience” which is a fancy way of saying they did nothing.
Same thing with Iran--and allowing them get to gets of cash in the night. It may have been their money-but they put into ☢️ weapons and Hamas.
Thanks Obama.
Fascinating stuff!
Honestly, ive been gettinf more and more into history and modern history especially recently and your channel has won a place in my go to channels list!
Lol
When I was a kid, my family lived in the northeastern Chinese province Liaoning that directly boarders NK. Each and every time when there was a missile test, we were also terrified because we're not confident about their technology at all... And since we're just next to each other, a small technical issue might end up destroying our city entirely. Till today I cannot forget watching the news nervously with my grandma many years ago.
That sounds terrifying. I'm still confused how can they claim they have the technology to ruin a specific county when they're having that many technical difficulties.
@@SofijaSofijaSofija Probably because they don't focus on "fixing technical difficulties", but rather "causing as much destruction as possible" (and by that end not caring how the latter might be achieved).
Similar to certain past US presidents - I wasn’t afraid he’d start a world war on purpose, I was afraid he’d stumble into it.
America could have rid the earth of these nuclear terrorist in the 50’s if it weren’t for the Chinese getting involved. That would have never been a problem or worry for you. Oh well. Welcome to the 21st century where there are more than one nuclear terrorist state in the world.
@Radio K.A.O.S. You think they're going to announce the real one as not being a test?
Absolutely love how you went into the POV of China to explain why they support NK. Something severely lacking from almost all other sources of news and media these days
Too many "our enemy is crazy" explanations all around.
Strategy is often reserved for "our side" 😮💨
One of the very very few western channels that is impartial.
There are far too many western propganda channels on the anti-China bandwagon.
Yep. A lot Americans probably think China's happy with NK getting nuclear weapon but it definitely isn't. The chance of an NK missile getting through all the US missile defense and hit LA or NYC accurately is just slim, but Beijing and many big cities in China are within 1000km from NK.
it's kind of self explanatory. dictators stick together
China created this situation with North Korea. Then and the Russian / Soviets.
Having kids born in prison, having kids born in north korea...same thing
At least in prison you get fed.
Any conflict breaking out for them would spell the end of their regime, I would think. Getting a tactical nuke certainly makes them difficult to deal with, but unless they become unhinged and are willing to throw it all away, there isn't much else they can really do outside of posturing.
They ARE unhinged
@@noidsuperexcept if NK declared open war by launching nukes they'd swiftly get rained down upon. Nuclear war is a zero sum game, but the ones initiating it stand to lose even more than the ones getting hit by the initial nuke. It's why even 1 and a half years after Putin's invasion of Ukraine, with all those threats of using nuclear arms, it hasn't happened once. Putin knows if he launches nukes he will well and truly be on his own. Xi cannot defend the use of nukes while trying to maintain the sovereignty stance. It would immediately escalate the invasion and get NATO involved.
If NK started launching nukes they'd get a swift response from the West, SK, and Japan
@@noidsuperunhinged, yes. Willing to throw it all away, clearly not.
@@josh___somethingif kim knows he will lose his land he will 100% fire everything in his arsenal onto the world killing 10+ million people nobody wants that which is exactly why nobody interferes with NK they sit on the longer lever
Yeah, I agree they are unhinged@@noidsuper. Both things need to be true, I would think. Like josh said, it doesn't seem like they willing to give up what they have just yet.
My main gripe with this channel is the fact that there is no source list provided in the description, at least having some sort of source list gives magnitudes more credibility
because this guy is straight up a western propagandist
Yes! And every time I find an inaccuracy (which is disappointingly often), it makes it seem much less acceptable if there’s no source- like he’s just made something up!
@@boarbot7829 source : trust me bro and Google

What do you mean?
Yeah who needs context or details!
Up nebula you always be popular. I had to bust a rhyme in appreciation 😊.
Great video...and what great marketing for Nebula...I will check it out !
Many people have commented in this channel that threatening to use nuclear weapons is like threatening to flip the table while playing chess, I think this video proves that it’s more like going for an stalemate, no one can do anything because it’d mean to lose
That's not a stalemate, it's called Zugzwang.
@@MAC0071234 Zugzwang is an inbetween move totally unrelated
@@MAC0071234 Zugzwang is when you HAVE to make a move that either will make you lose or worsen your position, stalemate is when you simply cannot move. In Zugzwang there’s a winning side, in an stalemate there is not, the position remains the same just like here
It's a stalemate between those entitled to having nuclear weapons "to protect peace"
For the rest of the world it's more imperialism
you're confusing it with a zwischenzug
Only thing to remember, N. Korea's army is only functional inside N. Korea. Kim Un cannot chance his army outside of N. Korea, not even S. Korea for fear the malnourished army would break like the wind to the nearest buffet. Taking their chances on never returning to N. Korea ever again. It is very difficult for a dictator who publicly executes citizens for listening to the "wrong music" to have such citizens fight and risk their lives for such a person. Especially outside of their country. N. Korea basically is all bark, no bite.
Thats what they want ...they dont go war with south korea or USA ...they make blackmailing forever to tight the guarantee of kim or his successors forever ..hope you understand
you severely underestimate how loyal/brainwashed these people are.
@@sheiladikshit5110 Doesn't really matter. North Korea's military is much less equipped and trained than South Korea, and the SOuth would have full US backing.
The only thing preventing South Korea from winning at this point is that the north can hold their major cities hostage, first with conventional bombs, and now the Nukes.
You are not wrong but you see the thing is that you dont need good soldiers when you have literal rockets doign all the work for you.
Its basicially the same thing when a guy shows up with a gun to a fist fight.
Of course NK will never win a war against anyone really, but it doesnt have to as long as it can kill a lot of people b4 getting killed itself. That is enough for all the democrats to not risk doing anything about NK really.... can't blame them tho I myself woudn't want millions of South Koreans die for this.
You sure about that? The NK army has top priority for the country's food supply, whatever it may be.
You are just about the only voice I can think of who still cares about this issue. Bravo, and thank you
Excellent content as usual. Please consider keeping maps in north up orientation 👍
Why?
I was in Japan during the first missel that went over Japan and I remember the tension. Everyone was like... are we about to go to war with north korea? We found it was a test and not a failed attack a few days later, but man... That sparked a BUNCH of simulations for invasion plans.
Missiles were not fired at Japan. Rockets will mostly fly eastward from the rotation of the earth. Japan is east of NK. Who cares what a US puppet regime think about the development of strategic space defense and space science?
@@toocoolforu Ah yes it sounds so much better to assume they have no idea what they are doing and cant aim a rocket with GPS available for free to anyone. It being an accident makes it even more scary/funny.
Lol nice lie lots of accounts of majority of people in Japan shrug and don’t care. The missile was never aimed at them in the first place
Also this happens often so it’s not a sudden escalation
@@NeostormXLMAX At this point probably. The first time? No people were watching the news and stopping in the street to see what was going on.
This is ridiculous. I know Kim-Jong Un personally and he told me he would never nuke America. He told me that was his least favorite thing to do
Well, well aren't they boasting about how they are going to crush the evil imperialists anymore? They used to at least.
tell kim jong un to free his people then
@@Iqaluitio Mr dragonsword would never do that

See whatifalthist for such a video
@@wetbadger2 please use the space bar
If I remember correctly North Korea was almost wiped out until China came and entered the war. I think we pushed them back pretty much to the boarder of China; but China thought we were going to invade them next and sent troops over to assist the North Koreans.
Wrong. NK nearly wipe out the superior SK army first. NK PUSH sk all the way to Busan. Then the US military enter and push the NK back to thw Chinese border. That's when china enter and push the US, UN, SK forces passed the 38th. The truce was called and the 38th parallel was agreed as the border.
Correct. What a mistake in hindsight
You forget abou USsr?
We shouldve gone in from the China side

@@AB-yr2eo but you could answer it easily with a MUCH shorter vid
@@gawkthimm6030 Yup, but then you would have to remove a crap ton of context.
Too long for the question at hand.
This is a very well made video with balanced perspectives. The geopolitical concerns North Korea and China have that are quite valid (which aren't covered much elsewhere), and the sticky situation with South Korea, rather than glossing over with the usual "China / NK bad" or something. ❤
Dude those guys had a 61' F-100! I got a 66 F250 (differrent grille). The one in the pic has the 6 cylinder hood emblem.Those 240 C.I inline six cylinders are a great choice for a war zone 👍
I think the most daunting task in a war with N. Korea would be going in those bunkers they have. I mean, their bunkers are vast enough to test nuclear explosions. I'd imagine it would be a terrifying feat for any invading army.
Saddam only surrendered in ODS after the USA showed they can blow up his bunkers. Im sure whatever NK has, the USA can defeat it.
So we go back to siege warfare? Starve them out? Genuinely curious how you could tackle those with minimal losses
@@killrsloth9187 divert a river and drown them in the bunker.
I mean all they can really do is sit there with their ww2 equipment.
@@killrsloth9187 it’s not a great strategy lol, if you’ve already taken control of the ground and air, 10000 men in a bunker are way easier to kill than 10000 men on a battlefield.
As a South Korean, it's scary how long this cold war has been going on. Even if we somewhat could stop further threats, then we have our Government fighting each other and the damage done by Kim Family lingering on.
As long as the south doesn’t start massacring a hundred thousand of its own people again, the north won’t intervene again
I really love Korea, and hope the people in the North can rise up against their government and eventually rejoin the South. I'm sure this is easier said then done, but I think that will be the only way this cold war ends.
what are south korean people like
You're birthrate is so low it won't matter in a few hundred years anyway

I swear North Korean are taking notes from this guy. Along with every other war related video he has made.
Great documentary and beautify narrated. Easy to follow and understand. I really think that diet plays a major role in military readiness. I wonder how healthy the newborns are in each country.
Korea and Japan both have plans for "Just in Time" nuclear weapons that could be built on short notice
. We had nuclear weapons on the peninsula for a long time. They were nuclear tipped Nike anti aircraft missiles that also had a ground attack mode.

When I was a freshman in college, my roommate was an international student from South Korea. I live in Missouri, so we have tornado warning drills with LOUD sirens regularly. One day, After hearing the sirens go off, My roommate looked a bit concerned, pointed up at the sky and said, “bombs”? He thought it was a bomb-drill.
That experience will always stick with me as a reminder of the realities that many people outside the US face, especially in South Korea. Of all the drills I had to go through in the US, I’ve never had a bomb-drill. My parents are boomers so I always heard stories about the Cold-War nuke drills they did at schools… But to the Koreans, that’s just their every day reality.
My friend served his time (mandatory conscription) in the Korean marines, and he is now living in the US. I have nothing but respect for South Korea and their military.
I am British, at a school I went to near D.C. we had a tornado drill, we don't have tornado drills in Europe.
@@bristoled93 very interesting! We don’t have to deal with Earthquakes or Hurricanes in the Midwest, but I live in a region that is known by many as “Tornado alley”.
One of our nearby cities (Joplin, Missouri) got absolutely demolished by a Tornado about a decade ago (2011?). I even met some folks who were inside of a Walmart when the tornado directly hit the building. They survived but tornados are no joke.
With that said, most Missourians who see a tornado are more likely to grab a chair and a beer than to hide from them. There’s only so much you can do, so most people around here don’t get too worried by tornado weather.
haha SKorea is much more safer than safest place non-govt place in US.
He faces harsh realities like some drill which he'll never face, while your classmates could get shot in during a school siren
We had to do bomb drills on the US when I was in elementary school in the 90’s. We’d ride under our desks. This was because the US was still afraid Russia would nuke us.
@@isabellam1936 Liar, I was in school in the 90's nvr did that shit
Sometimes you gotta just take the hits to remove a threat. You can't always get away without getting a bloodied nose.
I agree with you: Procrastination is worse than just getting over it then and there
Thanks!
Your videos are amazing. Just one simple thing is messing it a bit up: not a single source in the description. Easy to make and lifting up the quality enormously
I think you might be able to find the source in his Nebula channel. But I could be wrong.
Agree
Not gonna lie, this was one of the worst episodes so far. Too many assumptions, too over the top in those assumptions, no sources, etc. it felt like click bait title but in video form.
@@Homer-OJ-Simpson that’s it. Showing 0 sources invites you to sooner or later become more speculative and stop sticking to actual valid sources
@@angriffslusticherWildoger Exactly. Without sources there isn't much holding them back into using a lot of speculation. There is a massive difference in a video from say Caspian Report and others like him vs RLL. RLL have always been a little overly dramatic but it's become more speculative and more overly dramatic. They often state the speculative part as if it's a fact too.
i especially appreciated the part of the video where you showed the world map upside down from "normal". thumbs up!
It threw me off for a sec when he said India in the south too. Makes sense and helps show his point. I like it.
There’s not a single country on earth that puts south at the top of their maps, so while it’s an interesting thought experiment to consider, upside down maps are totally pointless in practice.
@@Spengleman2 it's been used historically both in Australia and South America
There are variations that have the Americas on the East as well and Asia in the center
@@arthurheine5631 In southamerica we don't put the World upside down, not in Argentina at least.
@@anti-spiral159 it's a historical thing, most common in Uruguay

Anyone have the title for the nebula exclusive RLL video on North Korea? Just had a look and can’t see anything that matches their description
With all of the hardened targets and miles of tunnel systems N. Korea has, the island hopping of WWII would seem like a holiday. Never under estimate your opponent.
I'm noticing a pattern here: it's always the money, i.e. the oil. I lived through both invasions of Iraq, so you would think I couldn't be surprised by that today. The mainstream media somehow forgets to mention that oil was involved in conflicts, so sometimes it sneaks up on you.
Imperialism is real.
I really enjoy these videos and find them interesting. However, I would suggest linking sources in the description, just so people can do more research if they want and just to make sure that everyone knows where the information is coming from.
I google about it then 2 sources
-Unveiled in October 2020, the missile is believed to have a range of 15,000km or more, and could potentially carry three or four warheads, rather than only one.(from bbc)
-North Korea, which has launched at least 88 ballistic and other missiles this year, fired an ICBM that could travel 9,300 miles or longer, putting the U.S. mainland within its range, according to Japan's defense minister (from abcnews)

=We suspected they might has nukes
-why didn't you invade North Korea?
= Are you crazy !! they have nukes
North Koreans would unironically be better off if their country was invaded and annexed by South Korea with US's help. Sadly, the best opportunity (during the 1990s when China was weak, USSR dead, and NK in the middle of a famine) was wasted.
American arguments be like :
They have tested nukes you dimwit. We know they have them. Probably why the regime still exists.
Saudi Arabia makes 9/11, Saddam gets the blame because daddy issues. History.
It’s almost like you want to invade countries BEFORE they get nukes…
The fact that I never thought that N Korea can blackmail China really surprised me.
They can't. That was hyperbolic. Beijing would prefer the Kim dynasty and status quo to be maintained but won't just take their shit lying down
This video is awesome. You've just told Kim what he can do to possibly survive. Way to go!
Very informative video

I was stationed in Seoul in 2014-2015. North Korea fired a rocket accross the DMZ to destroy a S. Korean propoganda speaker. At the time we did didn't know this though, and we all thought we were about to get attacked. It was one of the most tense moments of my life, because we knew that our current location was in the impact zone of thousands of artillery pieces. We had also been told many times that's we were just a "speedbump" to slow down the N Korean Army until reinforcements from the mainland arrived.

The projected population numbers for SK look like our estimates in Germany 30 years ago. Now it’s here, nothing‘s changed and everything is slowly starting to collapse
When they cry peace and safety in the streets, then you know the end is near.
To be clear. The US would never let an NK missile attack on any US asset go unanswered. Pyongyang would be a molten sea of glass if they did so.
One of the biggest points is the huge amount of casualties. If we sent something they’d retaliate. NK can’t send anything for the same reason
hope so. If like that, what will dictators Putin and Xi react then...
I totally agree. NK most likely will never attack, but it’s it’s more about just fluffing up the feathers to stop anyone from coming in or mear
And then China and Russia get involved and retaliate, and then everything becomes a glass crater.
Yep, it would rain death if that happened.

I was stationed at Osan AB in 1994 when that standoff happened. They were censoring the news so we did not know what was happening, other than we were in a very long intense exercise. It really wasn't until years later did I learn how close to war we came. We would have won in the end, but I doubt most of the troops stationed there initially with me would have survived other than the pilots, who would have dropped their bombs and flew to Japan as they did not expect to hold the bases.
Yeah , those bases would have been overran, if not destroyed before hand. That is what the ppl who are stationed there need to realize and understand, they are the sacrificial lambs if things go south.

Don't forget that north Korea have world largest ship - submarine fleet,
Obviously not the most modern advanced fleet.
But could sure do some damage.
Do they control where rhe missile lands? What if there is an unfortunate ship at the other end?
they don't :,((
Reallifelore. Thank you for your time and effort in making this video possible.
As a patriotic Chinese, I respect your decency of actively explaining our reasonable strategy, rather than joining mass media saying things without any proof.
Question? Is there no type of icbm or nuke countermeasures to intercept them?
Of course, you can intercept lots of nukes, but not all of them, not even majority.
I love this, make some more long and detailed ones!
Once again, you re making history with your exceptional knowledge and videos. I ve learned a lot from you across all these years
BUT NORTH KOREA IS ACTUALLY GOOD

Re-making history is a bad thing

@@Gunsmoke2220 In another video of his, relevant to Russia and the ongoing war in Ukraine, I wrote in the comments below that he 's kinda obsessed with how evil Russia is, without referring to America's key role for hundreds of wars globally..
I’d love to see the faces of the North Korean missile scientists if they find out the about how advanced the united state’s anti missile protection system is. It doesn’t matter that they have ICBM’s, there’s almost no chance whatsoever that they wouldn’t be shot down. South Korea is the country actually in danger.
You can tell that he’s trying to make it reach cali or Alaska 😅
That population thing was very interesting. The next 20-30 years are going to be really interesting. Lots of countries going to have big population crisis with other country's like Nigeria having booms
Or canada. For almost 10 years(half a birth cycle) their immigration rate has been 3x their birth rate.
I'm guessing in 10 years canada is gone
@@dean9261 gone to whom
@@boerandemo7766 Mexican Influence always results in a drug infested region . Canada is done for.
@@boerandemo7766 shortest answer is it's a transfer of power from federal to provincial and municipal governments to the UN-regional-microstates and municipal.
A supranational layer of governance is being added, and provincial government is being divided into regional and microstates
But to answer as to whom, all governments work for banking corporations.
These corporations all have slices of the pie worldwide and the middle of the pie is unknown to me.
@@boerandemo7766 *the big kick in the crotch about how canada is being divided is that when the npcs rise up they will blame immigrants instead of themselves and our government.
The rocket was a Hwasong 17. It's been around for a couple of years they just hadn't pushed it as far. 6000 km is extremely impressive and it's a beast of a rocket well capable of orbital lauch of around 1 t. Staged combustion engines too, basically Made in Korea RD-250s. It is my estimation that we can expect a lot of space launch activity from NK in the coming years. It's proven way of testing missiles while performing useful work such as launching surveillance satellites. They are cut off from the rest of the world so having their own intelligence gathering assets is vital and of course it's a big propaganda victory. People still think their rockets are shit when actually they have become a premier manufacturer of doomsday devices. Coupled with the last tested nuclear weapon the H17 becomes something to be feared. Up to 6 x 250 kt, most likely able to be targeted individually. And with that yield their bad accuracy is less relevant now. You can miss by quite a bit with that yield and with decoys the GMD ABM system would be overwhelmed by as few as 5-8 H17s. After that the rest would get through. Honestly one could do it, just dedicate one H17 to launching 50 decoys or more (inflatable warheads painted to reflect radar like a real one).
Fear. Many will read what you have left here and they will fear it. I do not. It is possible to be aware of nuclear weapons and not be living in fear of it. I have been doing it my whole life. You have too. Everyone born after 1949 has. Every human born after 1949 on this Earth has lived their entire lives under the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation. It is as natural to you as breathing is at this point. It is a part of what defines you as '221 b'; and without the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation you would be someone else entirely. And if your parents were born after 1949(like mine were) they would have been the same way, which means without the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation you may not even exist. Yeah, you may owe your very existence to the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation.
How can you be afraid of this? How can anyone be afraid of it? Do you even have a right to be afraid of it?!
Me? When I hear threats of nuclear annihilation I lean one of two ways. I dismiss it entirely, or I treat the threat with indignance. I either don't care or I dare you to do it. Because really, at this point, if I did fear the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation, I would be paralyzed with fear, huddled in a corner somewhere, unable to move, unable to function.
And lastly, what does one expect another to do? These are matters that are unfortunately way beyond your control. I mean, if you had the time to worry about a TH-cam video, you don't have any control over anything.
So fear? Why even bother with it.
@@user-lv7ph7hs7l I would argue that nuclear weapons are no longer useful as a deterrent. I could site the number of people who think stopping Russia is too dangerous and risky, as the argument. In their case, the mere mention of nuclear weapons was enough to get them to back down. What does that even mean? That means Russia is ALREADY using their nukes in an offensive manner. In fact, Russia has leveraged their nuclear weapons to good effect, they have been able to use them without actually detonating them. Effectively allowing Russia to use their nukes, free of charge.
Nuclear deterrent no longer works. And really, I am wondering now if it EVER worked to begin with.
Dancu
you still not realized that none of them actually made in korea but rather exported from one european country ?
It doesn't matter if their stuff works or not if they use it, that's the end, keep them pegged in and leave them!?!
VERY simplistic view.
They over there testing the distance of their middles . They wild af . How are they getting this tech
North Korea would need to consider how China, about their only ally, would react to them starting a war since China wouldn't want a war disrupting their economic growth
consider the current relationship between China and NK, I would said Kim don't really care about China. Putin is now Kim's BFF.
What economic growth? 2022 Chinese economy is the worst (other than the start of Covid) since the last year of Mao Zedong, 1976.
@@graceliu8839 1 year is like nothing in long-term period for any country
Until they would consider / want a war to test their power again... possibly in the future whenever they will "over take" USA.
This makes me remember being stationed at SOCPAC when that bombardment happened in 2010. I worked in he Command Center but not in any operation capacity (VTC Tech XD) But never the less, I remember getting called in, confused as to what was going on, for a few hours a hand full of us sat in the CC and talked about the beginning of WWIII and How we were going to remember where we were when it started. Surreal stuff, thinking about it now we were all completely convinced that was the beginning. Wasn't even that we were worried the North or China was going to make the first move either. The concern was that the South was going to just lose patience with it all.
Knowing why no one can stop them is only the first step in knowing how to stop them
Would a mass evacuation of the city of Seoul be possible?
I mean, BEFORE any attack, would that be seen by North Korea as a reason to use artillery?
So many nations people and governments don’t take demography seriously enough in their national interests. Lots of western countries for example are potentially sleep walking into disaster. It will be interesting to see how South Korea and Japan try address this issue, doesn’t seem to be an easy solution any time soon
Russia is one of them as well, their population is decreasing since the end of URSS
I heard they already have some programs to incentivize new immigrants
lab born babies, like in the new brave world
@@tenzingyatso5096 problem even with that is a lot of young people don’t want children even if they could skip pregnancy and childbirth, their too distracted with holidays, shopping, socialising and less responsibility.. you wouldn’t have enough people wanting to parent

The only issue with this - you know that the moment a single nuke goes out - US would rather eradicate whole North Korea than risk losing more people and cities. I wouldn't underestimate them, especially as they already have a history of using nukes to end conflicts swiftly.
It's not so much about nukes. We will throw endless resources and people for two decades into a war and still lose. Then move on and learn nothing. Our government isn't us though. We have little to no say in anything....just like North Korea, but we have food.
If North Korea fires a nuke at us, I sure hope we do. It’s horrible for the NK people… but we would have to put an immediate end to it before we would suffer more loses. What should we do? Try to invade them while they keep nuking our cities? Say you better not do it again? No… complete destruction of their regime. Which would probably obliterate the majority of their country. But it would have to be done immediately without second though
Well normally I’d say just because there’s a precedent doesn’t mean there’s conviction however given the context of how it happened the first time, you’re probably right.
