Default Re: Do we have the troops and infrastructure to fight North Korea?

The simple answer is no. The strategic balance comes from the presence of tactical nuclear weapons to turn the human wave.

Not exactly. You have to define what you mean by "fight the North Koreans". Do we want to march into the capital and take it over? That could be a bit problematic. Do we want to disable their infrastructure (such as it is) and eliminate missile firing sites, storage facilities, and production sites? We certainly have the airpower on hand to do that. It really boils down to whether or not we need to put troops on the ground or not. I dont think we need to, but then again Im not a general. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
