Hear me out, North Korea needs to go. They're going to destabilize the planet if they keep fricking with nukes they have no business developing.
I suggest we have a summit with Russia and China to mutually agree to allow NK to be nuked with no other countries retaliating. Thousands will die and that's very sad but what would be worse is NK doing something even more stupid and causing a nuclear world war.
I say we nuke NK and get it over with.

who?

Ok, Ill bite. What about the wind currents that'll carry the radioactive fallout, where will that go? I agree in the MacArthur plan, but what happens when you need to take land and secure cities?
>fallout
Don't care
>take land
Don't want it. This is to send a message

Yes, absolutely.
Honstly, if you know it's coming and it's not like an open burning reactor, radiation is a meme. If it were anywhere near as dangerous as it's made out to be we'd all be dead because hundreds/thousands of nukes were detonated during the Cold War.

Meme wunderwaffen if you know they're coming. I'd be more afraid of an artillery shell incoming because it's harder to dodge metal than hot air.
Everybody! The queen of England is dead!!

Here ya go buddy. Check page 31.
My takeaway is that we could nuke North Korea and it would probably work out just fine.
Cool and good.
You know North Korea has nukes too, right?
Yeah, but they probably don't have the means to detect they're getting striked. Or honestly the ability to react in time even if they did. If Russia and/or China are involved they don't even need to use ICBMs, NK is right there, they could launch stand-off weapons or prolly even fricking gravity bombs kek
They only have the means to threaten South Korea with them.
Hwasong 15 and 17 can hit the US. People seem to be stuck in a 2008 "North Korea just got nukes and hasn't got an ICBM" terms, but they've come a long way.
Do you really think the North Korean missiles have any reliability? There's a difference between technical specs and their realistic operational range.
Hwasong 17 in particular is fricking huge, even with extremely inefficient mass ratios and with inefficient engines it can hit the US. Assuming North Korea can't hit the US because "lol Norks" isn't well founded.
At most they might glass LA, DC, and NY. Seems like a win-win.
That's why I think NK should be glassed.
Coat it in nuclear fire and call it a day, frick everyone else.
North Korea exists solely for the purpose of keeping US troops off of China's doorstep. They're literally a nation of drones occupying a buffer zone
Bug men gonna bug
Do it yourself, Sork.
1. Russia is now dependent on North Korea so they won't agree
2. China has almost exclusive access to the North Korean resources and trade - they will lose their colonial concessions. They won't agree
3. South Korea doesn't want unification, especially if its been nuked. It just wants stability
4. It gains the US nothing. The continued existence of North Korea helps keep South Korea from Finlandization to China.
And finally if China wasn't backing north Korea there would be no need to nuclear weapons - it could be destroyed with conventional methods if anyone wanted to
That stupid. I want to see NK try to do a land grab and take Russia’s east coast
The only real enemy of the West is its own fear of its power. We should be hawkish to the maximum and annihilate every enemy of the state.
The only reason the norks have nukes is that Gadaffi disarmed and died getting a rusty knife shoved through his butthole, there's 0% chance of a NK first strike.
