They want their doom's day scenario back.<br /><br />Modern south Korea could easily destroy North. it is a more likely scenario that for humanitarian reasons, they invade the North. The only reason they haven't already is that they see the northerners as zombies who sincerely love their leader. Thus, they have no hope of saving their northern kin.<br /><br />China doesn't give a rat's ass about North Korea except as a communist petting zoo. There is no way they are going to Nuke anyone for them. Much more likely is that they will take advantage of the USA being distracted to gather something more important, like some offshore islands with drilling potential.<br /><br />Russia and China both want to enrich themselves. Their best path to achieving that is to dominate US markets. Destroying US markets does nothing to bring them wealth. Even if we don't nuke them back. (we do have more than enough nukes to bring the whole world back to the stone age with us).<br /><br />Most likely scenario today is that increasing complexity and interconnectivity among the utilities causes a random and minor event to cascade into a system-wide shutdown that fools 300 million people into thinking it is an EMP attack, and then casting off the yoke of civility that holds them currently. When teh power comes back on 4 days later, there is a massive "OOPS".

I know this because I was a 55G20 in the Army- that's Nuclear Weapons Maintenance Specialist. That MOS was never very big, maybe 600 of us at the height of the Cold War, and it no longer exists. Some of the weapons may still exist, notably the SADM and any of the warheads that could be repurposed for Navy or Air Force delivery systems, but they are not configured for tactical delivery. <br />Somebody in the Pentagon has thought of a way to do it without resorting to nukes. It may mean every B-52, B-1, and B-2 available loaded with JDAMs drawing a line of craters where artillery used to be, but I very much doubt they'd launch a MIRV against the North Koreans.Chaplain Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01691805162541075570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566715115931065803.post-66770369941423995532014-02-11T02:06:04.882-05:002014-02-11T02:06:04.882-05:00That is the most likely scenario in my mind also. ...That is the most likely scenario in my mind also.
