How would you invade it without atomic weapons?
The place was built from the ground up as a death trap no to mention the 125 floor tall flak tower of doom.

I wouldn't bother
Fpbp
There’s no reason to, as the only natural resource North Korea has is malnourished manlets
I thought NK had shitloads of cobalt or some other worthwhile mineral.
NK does have several resources that make them a worthwhile supplier (particularly given their proximity to the main buyer: China), the problem is that the NK's do not want to actually give up these resources. They lack the heavy industry and know how to extract them, so governments have tried to enter into deals with them where they provide the heavy industry and know-how to get said resources out of the ground, but only they get them and they pay virtually nothing for them beyond the cost of the sole supplier contract. The Norks have actually stolen from the Chinese repeatedly by signing contracts, getting the mining infrastructure set into place, and then kicking out the Chinese. Which, based, but also moronpilled.
North Korea has heavy industry and the ability to use it, they just choose to use that ability to make weapons because they think everyone on earth is trying to kill them.
In their defense making weapons is a good idea because everyone really is trying to kill them.
Cobalt as well as other rare earths, effectively unlimited amounts of anthracite coal, huge iron deposits, gold and alot of Uranium.
We would all be speaking Korean if they had oil.
You mean they would all be speaking English if they had oil
Why would anyone go to war for this? You'd wind up with some minerals and 25 million starving people to take care of. There's no way you could make that deal pay off.
DPRK's greatest threat to any would-be invader is the humanitarian crisis that would result from any disruption of their fragile economy.
>25 million starving people to take care of
Who says they have to be taken care of? Imagine South Korea suddenly having access to endless fertilized ground for agriculture?
Ah yes the fertile lands of NK.
*dies of starvation*
>DPRK's greatest threat to any would-be invader is the humanitarian crisis that would result from any disruption of their fragile economy.
A rational person would think that the 30-40 atomic weapons that they would launch against the nearest population centers of humanity would the main problem.
South Korea would be a radioactive wasteland.
Their national animal is a Pegasus Dragon thingy so this answer is technically correct.
>30-40 atomic weapons that they would launch against the nearest population centers of humanity
That's irrational.
You're assuming the DPRK is a rational regime. Even if they were, the ruling class knows there's no way they'd be allowed to keep their position in a post-war unified Korea, so they'd have all the more incentive to push the button.
Actually, as far as things go, they are pretty rational?
They know just how much saber rattling they need to keep the gibsmedats flowing, and they also realize that the west doesn’t really care enough about them as long as they stay in their little timeout corner.
Tell that to Israel.
So your military strategy is to call their bluff and hope that they don't launch their strongest weapons while you are exterminating their entire culture?
I don't have a military strategy. I pointed out that there was nothing in NK worth fighting a war over.
This. There’s nothing to want. They have nothing but poverty and mouths to feed. Even peaceful reintegration with ROK can only really be ideologically motivated as the payback time for the investment will be even worse than for East Germany.
Fippy Bippy
In the end it's still a city, which house people and those need food and water.
Just move around it and starve them out.
They either surrender or die and all you have to do is wait outside while fapping.
Starve it out. It's not a fortress city like you think. It's mostly unfinished, and what is finished is many decades-old Soviet Bloc-style construction. As for the skyscraper, there are interior photos of it, it's basically completely unfinished past the 40th floor from my understanding.
It isn't a skyscraper in the normal sense, it is built like a WW2 flak tower. Most of the floors have been filled with rebar and concrete.
It is one of the very few surface buildings built in the last 100 years that could conceivably withstand an atomic weapon and still be standing.
It's actually a escape rocket facility.
That is bullshit but i'll pretend to believe it because it amuses me.
>500 years in the future the world has been destroyed by nuclear hellfire
>The flak tower of doom still looms over the ruins of Pyongyang
>People across east Asia make pilgrimage to worship the Monument of the old world
>Nobody knows what it is or what it does, but they respect it anyway as symbol of pre-apocalyptic Man's power and advancement
>It is one of the very few surface buildings built in the last 100 years that could conceivably withstand an atomic weapon and still be standing.
>built like an omnidirectional sail
North koreans have been training for starvation for 60 years
North Korean army would maybe last a little longer than saddam’s army. US aren’t russoid Black folk that need to literally blow up every building in a city before capturing the country.
The way you homosexuals always refer to Iraq here is truly pathetic
Is that really all you have to proud of as a statement of strength?
Carpet bombing some dysfunctional poor desert country?
You /k/ posters are pathetic
> Is that really all you have to proud of as a statement of strength?
It’s one of, if not the most perfectly executed military invasions in human history. That’s an objective reality that exists regardless of anyone’s morality or feelings. So cry harder you ESL invader homosexual.
Is failing to invade or occupy Vietnam are running away after tens of thousands of deaths in a few weeks all you have to proud of as a statement of strength? Because if so you look like shrimp dick bug-fricking low-t homosexuals that can’t into war.
He’s going to reply to you in a few hours calling you a moron hoping you won’t reply back
>Iraq
>carpet bombing
Brown "minds" truly cannot comprehend precision munitions.
>cut off supply routes
>entire population is starved out within 10days
>How would you invade it without atomic weapons?
Fine. I'll just level it with conventional weapons.
>How would you invade it without atomic weapons?
Drop this guy in with instructions to take out the leaders and maximise collateral damage.
Are only of those fricking buildings even occupied?
Half the floors are occupied, every other floor is filled with military grade concrete.
There are areas that look like a alien planet.
Personally i like their Academy of Atomic Science, they were pretty blunt about what they study there:
that looks pretty neat ngl
Animal breeding? Cause the tower looks like horse wiener.
Firebomb it, carpet bomb it, then shit and piss on it
My actual answer is probably try to encourage a surrender then if they dont give up, conventional bombing, especially if I can target C&C points to destroy or at least perforate them. Probe their defenses to see whats intact and how stiff resistance is. If its all its cracked up to be, withdraw. Offer another surrender. Followed by chemical weapons and more bombing. Nerve agents, blister agents, choking agents, all in a nice soup. See how all that works and then go from there. Obviously, the international community would be horrified and all that happy horseshit. But if I wanted to avoid a meat grinder, I'd probably do that. If their tunnel systems are all they are reported to be (which I doubt) I think biological weapons could find their way in via trasmission and render them less effective.
North koreans are the least likely people on the planet to surrender, they're completely brainwashed in the literal sense
Just start airdropping humanitarian rations. Once those malnourished asiatics realize we have so much food that we can afford to just toss it out to them, the slanty-eyed bastards will be begging for us to take over.
Airdrop K-Pop bands with concert stages all over the country and let them perform
Psychological warfare that'll tear the Norks apart
they tried that, the Norks were disgusted by the sexualised exploits of k-pop performers
Build a giant wall around it and station my army along its perimeter. I then starve the entire population into oblivion, well beyond any reasonable timeframe to subsist on starvation rations and cannibalism. Follow that up by literally crushing the enemy as my men grind their dried bones underfoot and take the city.

>How would you invade it without atomic weapons?
1) Stop sending them aid.
2) Laugh at their cries of anger.
3) Wait until they eat last of their babies.
4) Laugh at Vatnigs in Ukraine trying to make use of Norks' AKs with helical magazines.
5) Wait little bit more until Norks sell everything to Chinks and Vatnigs.
6) Ask South Koreans to surrender to Norks, as NK state is non-existant at this point, while Chinks have no excuse to move in and help their "ally".
7) Move in.
tldr: It's political operation, not military operation.
Fricks sake OP, Pyongyang isn't a city it's just the onomatopoeia for a cartoonish noise when a character pops a boner.
If given unlimited military resources I'd immediately nuke Israel.
Send a bunch of murderhobo mercs in via airdrop...
Too bad we never got a Mercs 3.
Hold on, can I even invade it if I use atomic weapons? Isn't that a bit counterintuitive?
Im going to be there in summer please don't do anything stupid or I will lose around 3000€ in entry permits/visa/flights
>How would you invade it without atomic weapons?
offer triple the food and half the work for those switching sides
No other way than securing it block by block. Fight mostly at night since the kdogs wont have the tech to match it.
