Granted, we'll see some casualities on the naval front though, from NK subs, hovercraft, and patrol ships. However, I don't think we're likely to see an invasion of NK by the US/UN. Instead, more of a hard line of armor (backed by air superiority) at the border, preventing any NK armored forces from invading past the DMZ.

Granted they might have a chance to Nuke Soul, but thats a factor the west can live with, sad but true!
You think NK has more than 20 Nukes??? LoL
I would be immensely impressed if they have but two, three tops!
That's a good question... Last I heard about the UN is that they were approving sanctions. Not that I'm a big UN follower, but I'm wondering what the stance of the UN is now to the new NK developments? Does the UN just let the PTB - i.e. the true powers that be, take the brunt? All of a sudden, they have nothing to say. y/n? The silence is deafening.
Hey go for what you know.None of us can really read this country anyway so your idea is as good as any "expert" out there,or mine.
The issue with NK is they keep wanting to murder our allies to their south and east...and that presents a problem.

The hell with them! They want a nuke? Let's send them 4 or 5. 30 minutes delivery or they are free. I am sure we have a few neutron bombs gathering dust on the shelf somewhere. Maybe after that we can get to more important stuff like ending all foreign aid and getting the UN the heck out of our country.
Wanting to do something and actually doing it are two different things.
I think people need to realise that North Korea is akin to a frightened little child. We can't take what they say seriously and an adult spanking a child with nulear weapons is not the right approach. This gung ho attitude helps no one least of all US citizens.

So is saying it....politically, and that's exactly what Un has done. He's threatened both the US and SK, and make no mistake, he has ZERO problem killing South Koreans (or his own for that matter).

Frightened child or not...when that kid has a loaded .45 pointed at you...you have to take him somewhat seriously.....

Keep in mind, China (along with the other security council members of the UN) signed off on these sanctions. The stance of the UN should be very clear. However, to make a public statement, would only add fuel to the fire, so the UN knows better here....not their first rodeo with NK..... Now, if NK pushes any further.....well, somebody's bluff is called, one way or the other...
