@@Zack_Wester Not true. Not only does NK have more than enough manpower, military stockpiles and defensive capabilities to cover all directions but it will also be supplied and supported by Russia and China. The US' best bet is to attack from one direction and break NK's defences on that front - then continue pushing. Even that - the US has a very low chance of pulling off but it is its best bet. The US will not be able to do that on all sides or even more than one side. It's better to have a lot of soldiers doing nothing and being saved up as reserves than to have them dead or injured and not available as reserves. Ukraine might not care about suffering 800k casualties but maybe the US will.
😂😂 Fr , Why not have the US army take the land with south korea while the air force (1st most powerful airforce in the world ) control the skies and have the navy (1st Most Advance Navy and 2nd most pwerful airforce in the world ) to hammer both sides🎉
@@DaFun4UNorth Korea is a buffer from South Korea for China. They are also a great pawn to blame for any wrong doings or military activity China doesn't want to be accountable for.
NK has 1 million active duty soldiers. That's the same as the US. That's without calling up the 5 or 6 million in reserve. 5-6 million dudes with an AK is a hell of a lot more than a few hundred thousand. The terrain is sh*t. It's not flat ground. It's mountains, small roads and caves. Their populace has been raised to hate Americans from day dot. While their equipment is not that great, they'd muster more people to fight than the US could land. They've still got anti-ship missles, Sam systems, tanks, anti-tank missles, cruise missles, ballistic missles and everything every modern army has. For the US to be even remotely successful, they'd need to turn North Korea into glass and wait 10,000 years. In the first few hours of invasion, Seoul would be flattened.
@@sesameseedbar8853The people Of North Korea are required undergo conscription. Historically, conscripted armies do not fight with nearly the same veracity as a volunteer army which America has. I read Daily NK, and right Now as according to North Korean sources they are troubling to feed their own populace it is estimated that in the case of war, mass famines would obliterate the army, as no one would be back at home to tend to crops. Even in July schools and students were mobilized to collect grain and farm. In what situation do you possibly think North Korea would prove any threat more than a mild deterrence waiting until China's involvement? The US could simply promise a hot meal and a warm bed, and the same thing that happend in Iraq will happen in N. Korea.
@@sesameseedbar8853 Good points, except the same was said about Iraq in 2003… and most fled combat or their equipment was so obsolete that their forces were overwhelmed with little American casualties. I feel the same would happen vs N Korea. They’d be overwhelmed and the majority of their army would collapse.
@mhern2558 They wouldn't be overwhelmed. The big difference between the two is indoctrination. North Koreans are still raised to believe that Kim is a God. Nobody in Iraq believed Sadam was, and nobody liked sadam. He simply was a sh*t dictator. The US can't cross the border between North and South, so the landing is amphibious. With the amount of artillery and early defence work NK would have, you'd be looking at easily 100,000 troops, equipment, and vehicles landed to be remotely effective. It's simply not feasible in any sense that the US would win a war with North Korea without it being extremely costly. 20,000 casualties per day, is a bit abstract, but initial landing, easily. Very big difference in a military that's been preparing for an invasion for 7 decades, and one whose soldiers couldn't care if their leader lived or died.
Lol we have the air power to do a lot of damage before troops ever hit the ground. I doubt North Korea has much missile defense. You put b-1 and b-52 over South Korea and let them have a Turkey shoot with cruise missiles into North Korea. You takeout the leaders of the country their military might surrender to have a better life lol
Aight. Why don't you just run in there and take those out for us, and then we will do the rest... Technically, it is that easy. However, taking out armored bunkers within a mountainous country, which has built up defenses out of a psychotic paranoia for decades is NOT easy... Hell, Russia can't even manage it, in comparatively flat Ukraine...
@@DrakeKillahI guess maybe? But the US has stockpiles of munitions designed specifically for destroying bunkers and the like, they could also fire long range missiles from outside NK’s airspace.
Nah we waste trillions of dollars, years of time and then pull out like our cock touched hot sauce.. Leaving behind billions in weapons and ammo. Frontal attack naaah.
this must be some bs propaganda. These paid by chinese government shills think the US military is bad cus of vietnam (or earlier) or because afghanistan. In reality the last real war USA did was gulf war where they completely DESTROYED iraqi military with low losses. It's not even funny how fast NK would be defeated.

North korea isnt the problem with invading north korea. The problem is an invasion of north korea causes china to invade back. Thats how we gave the DMZ today. South and north korea went to war, the korean war. The americans came to help and they invaded north and pushed north korea all the way vack to the chinese border and thats when china invaded and it was a back and forth for a while until they drew the DMZ line that lead to basically a geopolitical militarial stalemate which effectively marked the end of the korean war for all intents and purposes. So we coukd easily conquer north korea, but china will retaliate just like last time and we will end up back with the same dmz line and its a huge waste of time.
He forgot that high altitude aircraft bombers exist. We could send a bomber in and take out their high command when they’re in a routine meeting. The B2 has entered the chat.

This all before a single boot touches nk soil. And if tubby decided to launch a nuke, said subs would introduce him to the Nuclear capabilities on their boats which would make North Korea simply vanish from the earth as Habitable land for oh 2000 years or so… this isn’t the 50’s America does war exceedingly well and with tremendous overkill.
Man, this isn't 1950. In 70 years they must have thousands of strategies to counter any bombing attempt. I'd like to see the gringos fail again like they did in Afghanistan.
These “analysts” forget that we have the strongest navy and air force on the planter, we don’t have to push immediately. First there would be bombardments and air strikes on critical locations, then the troops would push in
To add on, ain’t NO WAY it would cost THAT many lives a day. North Korea can eve afford to keep the lights on at night and you are telling me that these “estimates” are real. You are on that LOUD if you can’t hear how bad of a take this is.
You dont just drop them behind enemy lines. First you need a safe zone to drop them in. Then you need to be able to support them and get supples to them. Not to mention north korea does have the ability to attack the planes dropping the troops with both AA and their air force. We can only have a portion of our forces there. They will have everything plus China.
@@censorsstarve Being drop behind enemy lines without a safe LZ, and without supply lines is literally what paratroops her for. If you have a safe, LZ and supply lines, that’s what air assault is for.
@WarmongerSmurfOnXbox Good luck dropping troops safely behind North Korean lines in a country that is 80% mountain and 70% forest. The only viable landing zone for troops will be in the grass and farmlands, which are mostly on the west side of the peninsula near the capital. That is also the side closest to China. It can be done, but would the cost be acceptable?

Agreed. However, NK is doing just fine, as far as birthrates go, so they won't run out of steam any time soon. I'd rather ask what would be the point... Just let NK sit there and wave it's "military power" around...

@@tomlxyz Yeah the two reasons we don't invade NK is pretty much China and the fact they *would* bomb Seoul to bits with WW2 level artillery. They've basically got the city hostage.
u.s. could just Park a Carrier group East or West, slowly bomb all of there strategic positions well placing special forces in key positions ..the army and Marines push hard when the timing is right
It's too late for that to happen, even back in 1951. PRChina will not let a hostile foreign country be anywhere near its borders, same now as it is back in 1951...
Well this is not true; China bordered the Soviet Union and in between minor and major skirmish actions which intensified throughout the 1960s, the Russians asked the US in late 1969 if they would stand idly by and let them nuke the Chinese. The U.S. said "no". Then, let's see...going around the periphery, they invaded Tibet in the late 50s, and next there's India, which borders China and has had minor skirmishes and border incidents all the way up to this year with the PRC, and of course we can't forget Vietnam, who in 1979 China invaded, only to get their asses handed to them in a series of heavy battles all along the Lang Som & Cao Bang passes. Of course the elephant in the room is the intense series of artillery duels between the PRC and ROC that finally cooled down in the early 70s, leaving Quemoy and Matsu Islands the most heavily shelled real estate on the planet. You might want to revise this statement. Just a tiny bit.
12 attack subs parked right off N Korea would solve all that. Find Kim's location and launch a 1000 cruise missles at his location would solve everything.
@@kenhubbard7355maybe it's all that death to America talk idk. Talking about nuking us every other day. There's a certain level of fuck around that happens when mfers find out.

Again, the Americans in the section are delusional. The North Koreans would respond by nuking American cities as soon as the invasion began. You're talking about hundreds of millions of American casualties on the mainland.
Has he not seen the strategy used within the Korean War. We went in took the country over and then China helped them to return the border to essentially its original location. He just said a strategy wouldn’t work that…. Has worked…
You forgot option number 4, you park 1 or 2 carriers in the open seas and send North Korea back to the stone age and make them wish they never split from the South
That would happen. An aerial assault first, to disrupt comms, transport, fuel and other infrastructure; however, NK is not the real problem, China is. They don't want to have US backed South Korea as a neighbouring state, they want to keep NK as a buffer state. Once NK gets hit, China will join the war.
The real question is “Why would the US want NK?” As long as NK is around we will always be besties with South Korea and that’s what we really need….presence.
China, if the south annex the north then insted of a land border with a backwards nation which only exists because of nuclear weapons they'd have a land border with the second most populated country on earth (prity sure India over took them in population) who's military mostly uses stolen tech from a country which can't defeat the poorist country in Eastern Europe and spends more time teaching there soldiers political doctran than it dose combat skills.
The main issue isn't conquering North Korea militarily: it's how to do it while keeping US/ROK casualties to a minimum and prevent Chinese intervention. China's never gonna allow a pro-US government on their eastern border, so a US invasion basically guarantees Chinese intervention. Additonally, NK has thousands of artillery guns pointed directly at Seoul, which would most likely result in tens of thousands of civillian casualties in the opening days of the invasion. In conclusion, a US invasion of North Korea may be tactically viable, but strategically stupid.
Not to mention what North Korea does with its nukes when it feels its gonna lose. They don't even have to launch them. Just set them off in thier own cities when US troops take over.
To be fair, if the rumors of north Korean ammunition in Ukraine are even remotely accurate, a lot of those artillery guns can be ignored. Not to say that makes civilian losses any better, just less than NK claims
Air superiority with key strikes using electronic warfare, and SEAD as the first strike. Airborne troops would be the most likely first on the ground, using special forces to spearhead a Marine landing…
I was a Marine deployed to South Korea for a while, got lots of debriefs and intel updates on north koreas “capabilities” and confidently able to say, we would conquer all of North Korea in a week tops.
I’m sorry, but Korean War proves otherwise. Asians are better trained than Americans and as far as I’ve seen the terrain and weather in the Korean Penisula is pretty extreme so I don’t really know.

Gen. Douglas MacArthur already did that. His forces got to the Yalu River. This time however, China would not intervene over North Korea because they have far too much to lose. They would become totally isolated by the world again and their economy and society would collapse. They are trapped like a monkey that grabs a piece of fruit through a wire cage. He's trapped if he holds the fruit. China will not let go of the "fruit of world trade" just to save North Korea.
Just to save the psycho ruler, not North Korea. NK needs to be saved currently. What those poor people are going through day in day out with the whole world just watching from the sidelines is just mind boggling.
considering how north korea has constant supply issues of pretty much everything i highly doubt they would be abel to put up much stiff resistance alone in conventional figth
First, strike against air defense for partial air superiority, attack artillery postion near the border. Second, Attack from DMZ and then amphibious landing. And then, gradually advancing.. Just a 2 second thought
nah it's still quite relevant. If the US "conquers" NK, then they'd have a puppet state bordering China. Even then China would never allow that to happen and it might escalate into a major conflict
@@telumbric1292 Nah, I'm referring to the word "conquer". It sounds childish or slightly archaic, y'know? A war of conquest is waged for territorial expansion or subjugation, but it's unlikely NK would become the 51st state.
Developing nuclear weapons was such a smart move on Kim’s part. He now has the 1 thing That makes him untouchable without paying far to great of a price. it’s literally just better for people to leave him alone now… as much as I hate nuclear weapons on the world stage you cannot deny how much they can turn the tides for a nation. And give them an unmovable seat at the table of power.
Or maybe we use existing bases along the dmz border as staging areas and perform a combined air assault deeper inland the first step would be to park a couple carrier groups on either side of the peninsula while ground forces are delivered to South Korea staged and then either take a helicopter ride or parachute in the carrier aircraft provide air superiority and cas helicopter flights provide transport and casevac naval assets off either coast provide long range missile support for ground troops while other long range artillery systems engage from the border
Or you could hit it from the South and the East Coast. As long as we hit their artillery and ICBM sites hard and fast casualties could be limited. Keeping their artillery from hitting Seoul is the real tricky part.
I have the most basic understanding of military tactics and that is from video games and movies and if I'm told that there are three options to attack with the US military then you make it a war on three fronts it makes it incredibly difficult for an enemy to fight a war on three fronts as a defender with specialized units to take out key points of interest while all that is going on
As of mountains have ever been an issue for a military that have a million of their own to train on, not to mention previous wars with said geography....
This underminds the overall condition of the norths army and the success rate of their ammunition. Also why not a precursor airstrike to weaken the ground forces and establishing air dominance.
that's assuming Nkorea is an actual military force. Due to less training, alot of food shortages and material shortages, the biggest issue would not be the military, but nuclear weapons and mass migration that would turn into a massive security risk.
Barring the obvious supply issues or a possible chinese intervention we could also bring up that South korea would not fuck around should things get hot. And at that point the real problem is the likelihood of North korea resorting to nuclear weapons since they would be facing impossible odds. no military campaign for reunification (at least as far as South korea, the US, and china seem to be concerned) would be worth the devastation and potential nuclear fallout that would follow. and that's without even figuring in the fighting that might still come after, if the US didn't exercise the fact that south korea is under the nuclear umbrella and retaliate in turn. Making the whole korean peninsula hell on earth.
No, the "analysts" would never consider carrying out an invasion as north Korea has strategic icbms. And despite existing defenses, the probability of them reaching their target isn't zero. This is in addition to their current work of developing tactical nuclear missiles, which can't easily destroy armies and ships in the field.
well, then again things like desert storm happen, yeah that was a multinational coalition, but still. In theory a lot could be done with appropriate lighting strikes. in theory.
Base on the fact that China didn’t let it happen during the Korea war. I’m pretty sure China won’t let it happen now either. Just to top it off. China is also a nuclear nation too. So it would come down to another stalemate with enormous loss on both sides.
Who would you trust? Actual historians and military analysts OR some UA-cam commenters who have a degree in military history from the university of UA-cam and watched a couple armchair historian videos the real question in most of these political scenario videos
I think the bigger problem as soon as we show aggression, there’s a literal fuck ton of artillery waiting to take Seoul off the map. The civilian casualties would be devastating.
It would be like desert storm. Long term shock and awe campaign, like 100+ days of neutralizing enemy air defenses, communications, and artillery. Then we would go in slow. 90% of North Korean artillery would be gone in a couple weeks.
A war with NK has to be multi prong attack, 1st weaken it's defenses by multiple and strategic bombardments on harden sites, do a atgm attack to soften enemy beaches and bunkers, on the other side station a substantial presence of watercraft to limit movements, and this is the most important part ask for and get china's approval as this would eliminate any legacy wars.
Or, hmo. We use our air force, to ground strike all fuel depot's. Then use airborne troops in important language, and then simply attack on multiple fronts.
People said similar things pre invasion about Iraq. Don't underestimate the power of air superiority. Should we invade? No. Would we lose 20k a day? No.
or the option : bomb military objects from the air safely from some ship or high altitude aircraft for two weeks than just walk in. but it would never happen cuz the world dont need that instability.
F22, M1A2SEP V3, M3 Bradley,, Patriot system, 1st and second largest and most advanced Air Force in the world, and finally 1st, 2nd, and 3rd largest navy in the world. I think a bunch of soldiers using early cold war tech isn't very intimidating.

Not only does NK have more than enough manpower, military stockpiles and defensive capabilities to cover all directions but it will also be supplied and supported by Russia and China. The US' best bet is to attack from one direction and break NK's defences on that front - then continue pushing. Even that - the US has a very low chance of pulling off but it is its best bet. The US will not be able to do that on all sides or even more than one side. It's better to have a lot of soldiers doing nothing and being saved up as reserves than to have them dead or injured and not available as reserves. Ukraine might not care about suffering 800k casualties but maybe the US will.
😂😂 Fr , Why not have the US army take the land with south korea while the air force (1st most powerful airforce in the world ) control the skies and have the navy (1st Most Advance Navy and 2nd most pwerful airforce in the world ) to hammer both sides🎉

5th option, just pound them with shells until the military of North Korea kills their own leader to save their own skin

20 thousand per day? 😂 yeah right.
They're ready for the war u are not that's the difference
NK has 1 million active duty soldiers. That's the same as the US. That's without calling up the 5 or 6 million in reserve.
5-6 million dudes with an AK is a hell of a lot more than a few hundred thousand.
The terrain is sh*t. It's not flat ground. It's mountains, small roads and caves.
Their populace has been raised to hate Americans from day dot.
While their equipment is not that great, they'd muster more people to fight than the US could land. They've still got anti-ship missles, Sam systems, tanks, anti-tank missles, cruise missles, ballistic missles and everything every modern army has.
For the US to be even remotely successful, they'd need to turn North Korea into glass and wait 10,000 years.
In the first few hours of invasion, Seoul would be flattened.
@@sesameseedbar8853The people Of North Korea are required undergo conscription. Historically, conscripted armies do not fight with nearly the same veracity as a volunteer army which America has.
I read Daily NK, and right Now as according to North Korean sources they are troubling to feed their own populace it is estimated that in the case of war, mass famines would obliterate the army, as no one would be back at home to tend to crops. Even in July schools and students were mobilized to collect grain and farm. In what situation do you possibly think North Korea would prove any threat more than a mild deterrence waiting until China's involvement? The US could simply promise a hot meal and a warm bed, and the same thing that happend in Iraq will happen in N. Korea.
@@sesameseedbar8853 Good points, except the same was said about Iraq in 2003… and most fled combat or their equipment was so obsolete that their forces were overwhelmed with little American casualties. I feel the same would happen vs N Korea. They’d be overwhelmed and the majority of their army would collapse.
@mhern2558 They wouldn't be overwhelmed. The big difference between the two is indoctrination.
North Koreans are still raised to believe that Kim is a God.
Nobody in Iraq believed Sadam was, and nobody liked sadam. He simply was a sh*t dictator.
The US can't cross the border between North and South, so the landing is amphibious. With the amount of artillery and early defence work NK would have, you'd be looking at easily 100,000 troops, equipment, and vehicles landed to be remotely effective.
It's simply not feasible in any sense that the US would win a war with North Korea without it being extremely costly. 20,000 casualties per day, is a bit abstract, but initial landing, easily.
Very big difference in a military that's been preparing for an invasion for 7 decades, and one whose soldiers couldn't care if their leader lived or died.
Once NK ammunition depots are destroyed it would be total devastation
it isnt as easy as destroying depots
Lol we have the air power to do a lot of damage before troops ever hit the ground. I doubt North Korea has much missile defense. You put b-1 and b-52 over South Korea and let them have a Turkey shoot with cruise missiles into North Korea. You takeout the leaders of the country their military might surrender to have a better life lol
didnt russia say the same thing for ukraine?
Aight. Why don't you just run in there and take those out for us, and then we will do the rest... Technically, it is that easy. However, taking out armored bunkers within a mountainous country, which has built up defenses out of a psychotic paranoia for decades is NOT easy... Hell, Russia can't even manage it, in comparatively flat Ukraine...
@@DrakeKillahI guess maybe? But the US has stockpiles of munitions designed specifically for destroying bunkers and the like, they could also fire long range missiles from outside NK’s airspace.

To give North Korea a fair chance we have decided to only use slingshots and only allowed those from Florida, Georgia to take part in the attack.

Bro studied military strategy from the back of a cereal box
North korea isnt the problem with invading north korea. The problem is an invasion of north korea causes china to invade back. Thats how we gave the DMZ today. South and north korea went to war, the korean war. The americans came to help and they invaded north and pushed north korea all the way vack to the chinese border and thats when china invaded and it was a back and forth for a while until they drew the DMZ line that lead to basically a geopolitical militarial stalemate which effectively marked the end of the korean war for all intents and purposes. So we coukd easily conquer north korea, but china will retaliate just like last time and we will end up back with the same dmz line and its a huge waste of time.
He forgot that high altitude aircraft bombers exist. We could send a bomber in and take out their high command when they’re in a routine meeting. The B2 has entered the chat.

This all before a single boot touches nk soil.

You dont just drop them behind enemy lines. First you need a safe zone to drop them in. Then you need to be able to support them and get supples to them. Not to mention north korea does have the ability to attack the planes dropping the troops with both AA and their air force. We can only have a portion of our forces there. They will have everything plus China.
I was thinking the same thing, we would just volley missiles and fighters and paratroopers
@@censorsstarve Being drop behind enemy lines without a safe LZ, and without supply lines is literally what paratroops her for. If you have a safe, LZ and supply lines, that’s what air assault is for.
@WarmongerSmurfOnXbox Good luck dropping troops safely behind North Korean lines in a country that is 80% mountain and 70% forest. The only viable landing zone for troops will be in the grass and farmlands, which are mostly on the west side of the peninsula near the capital. That is also the side closest to China. It can be done, but would the cost be acceptable?

u.s. could just Park a Carrier group East or West, slowly bomb all of there strategic positions well placing special forces in key positions ..the army and Marines push hard when the timing is right
It's too late for that to happen, even back in 1951. PRChina will not let a hostile foreign country be anywhere near its borders, same now as it is back in 1951...
Well this is not true; China bordered the Soviet Union and in between minor and major skirmish actions which intensified throughout the 1960s, the Russians asked the US in late 1969 if they would stand idly by and let them nuke the Chinese. The U.S. said "no".
Then, let's see...going around the periphery, they invaded Tibet in the late 50s, and next there's India, which borders China and has had minor skirmishes and border incidents all the way up to this year with the PRC, and of course we can't forget Vietnam, who in 1979 China invaded, only to get their asses handed to them in a series of heavy battles all along the Lang Som & Cao Bang passes.
Of course the elephant in the room is the intense series of artillery duels between the PRC and ROC that finally cooled down in the early 70s, leaving Quemoy and Matsu Islands the most heavily shelled real estate on the planet.

You forgot option number 4, you park 1 or 2 carriers in the open seas and send North Korea back to the stone age and make them wish they never split from the South
That would happen. An aerial assault first, to disrupt comms, transport, fuel and other infrastructure; however, NK is not the real problem, China is. They don't want to have US backed South Korea as a neighbouring state, they want to keep NK as a buffer state. Once NK gets hit, China will join the war.

Terrible idea. Too many civilian casualties. We’re not trying to liberate the “land,” we’re trying to liberate the people.
Ah yes then North Korea nukes Japan and South Korea Maybe even the mainland while waiting for your bombs to drop.
The real question is “Why would the US want NK?” As long as NK is around we will always be besties with South Korea and that’s what we really need….presence.
China, if the south annex the north then insted of a land border with a backwards nation which only exists because of nuclear weapons they'd have a land border with the second most populated country on earth (prity sure India over took them in population) who's military mostly uses stolen tech from a country which can't defeat the poorist country in Eastern Europe and spends more time teaching there soldiers political doctran than it dose combat skills.
If we did em' a solid then they might like us more, but honestly they'd still be pals with us considering China isn't exactly a good neighbor.
I don’t think NK is going anywhere any time soon
The main issue isn't conquering North Korea militarily: it's how to do it while keeping US/ROK casualties to a minimum and prevent Chinese intervention. China's never gonna allow a pro-US government on their eastern border, so a US invasion basically guarantees Chinese intervention. Additonally, NK has thousands of artillery guns pointed directly at Seoul, which would most likely result in tens of thousands of civillian casualties in the opening days of the invasion.
In conclusion, a US invasion of North Korea may be tactically viable, but strategically stupid.
Not to mention what North Korea does with its nukes when it feels its gonna lose. They don't even have to launch them. Just set them off in thier own cities when US troops take over.
To be fair, if the rumors of north Korean ammunition in Ukraine are even remotely accurate, a lot of those artillery guns can be ignored. Not to say that makes civilian losses any better, just less than NK claims
Air superiority with key strikes using electronic warfare, and SEAD as the first strike. Airborne troops would be the most likely first on the ground, using special forces to spearhead a Marine landing…

Gen. Douglas MacArthur already did that. His forces got to the Yalu River. This time however, China would not intervene over North Korea because they have far too much to lose. They would become totally isolated by the world again and their economy and society would collapse. They are trapped like a monkey that grabs a piece of fruit through a wire cage. He's trapped if he holds the fruit. China will not let go of the "fruit of world trade" just to save North Korea.
Just to save the psycho ruler, not North Korea. NK needs to be saved currently. What those poor people are going through day in day out with the whole world just watching from the sidelines is just mind boggling.
We could destroy their entire command structure with five mjolnir rods
We all know America wouldn’t go alone. They’d call everyone they know to help them
considering how north korea has constant supply issues of pretty much everything i highly doubt they would be abel to put up much stiff resistance alone in conventional figth
First, strike against air defense for partial air superiority, attack artillery postion near the border.
Second, Attack from DMZ and then amphibious landing. And then, gradually advancing.. Just a 2 second thought
"Conquer" in this context is so cringe. Reminds me of Normans pillaging England.
nah it's still quite relevant. If the US "conquers" NK, then they'd have a puppet state bordering China. Even then China would never allow that to happen and it might escalate into a major conflict
Imagining a dude saying “cringe” to a nation being conquered and then scrolling to the next video is hilarious
@@telumbric1292 Nah, I'm referring to the word "conquer". It sounds childish or slightly archaic, y'know?
A war of conquest is waged for territorial expansion or subjugation, but it's unlikely NK would become the 51st state.
Developing nuclear weapons was such a smart move on Kim’s part. He now has the 1 thing That makes him untouchable without paying far to great of a price. it’s literally just better for people to leave him alone now… as much as I hate nuclear weapons on the world stage you cannot deny how much they can turn the tides for a nation. And give them an unmovable seat at the table of power.
The real thing that makes NK untouchable is China, the nukes do nothing but make us mad. If they launched any they'd be shot out of the sky
Except he can never use them because he and his country would cease to exist as soon as one went airborne
@@michaelh3053no
@@michaelh3053 that can apply to pretty much any country with nukes
@@nokomoko8832 NK's rockets are dogshit from 60 years ago, they'll fly for a minute and get shot down
Actually it would be easier to invade than Iraq. Iraq was one of the most well defended countries in the world. At the time.
Iraq did not have nukes
Iraq has virtually no natural defenses and was surrounded by hostile nations, many of which helped the US.
😂😂 Americans 😂😂 how was Iraq better defended ?
@@dandyally9983
Soviet air defense
@@Dont_Tread_on_Me448Nukes don't mean shit if you can't use them.
Also remember our generals like socorah earth policy's. So if they have to remove leader with new one they'd do it right
Or maybe we use existing bases along the dmz border as staging areas and perform a combined air assault deeper inland the first step would be to park a couple carrier groups on either side of the peninsula while ground forces are delivered to South Korea staged and then either take a helicopter ride or parachute in the carrier aircraft provide air superiority and cas helicopter flights provide transport and casevac naval assets off either coast provide long range missile support for ground troops while other long range artillery systems engage from the border
Or you could hit it from the South and the East Coast. As long as we hit their artillery and ICBM sites hard and fast casualties could be limited. Keeping their artillery from hitting Seoul is the real tricky part.
We might have a few planes that would make a good Option 4
I have the most basic understanding of military tactics and that is from video games and movies and if I'm told that there are three options to attack with the US military then you make it a war on three fronts it makes it incredibly difficult for an enemy to fight a war on three fronts as a defender with specialized units to take out key points of interest while all that is going on
As of mountains have ever been an issue for a military that have a million of their own to train on, not to mention previous wars with said geography....
This underminds the overall condition of the norths army and the success rate of their ammunition. Also why not a precursor airstrike to weaken the ground forces and establishing air dominance.
that's assuming Nkorea is an actual military force. Due to less training, alot of food shortages and material shortages, the biggest issue would not be the military, but nuclear weapons and mass migration that would turn into a massive security risk.
Barring the obvious supply issues or a possible chinese intervention we could also bring up that South korea would not fuck around should things get hot. And at that point the real problem is the likelihood of North korea resorting to nuclear weapons since they would be facing impossible odds. no military campaign for reunification (at least as far as South korea, the US, and china seem to be concerned) would be worth the devastation and potential nuclear fallout that would follow. and that's without even figuring in the fighting that might still come after, if the US didn't exercise the fact that south korea is under the nuclear umbrella and retaliate in turn. Making the whole korean peninsula hell on earth.
Option 4: Do all 3 at the same time playing Credence Clearwater Revival!
We've literally already done this. The only reason half of korea has no lights is because we got a little excited and pushed into china
No, the "analysts" would never consider carrying out an invasion as north Korea has strategic icbms. And despite existing defenses, the probability of them reaching their target isn't zero. This is in addition to their current work of developing tactical nuclear missiles, which can't easily destroy armies and ships in the field.
well, then again things like desert storm happen, yeah that was a multinational coalition, but still. In theory a lot could be done with appropriate lighting strikes. in theory.
They could land paratroopers in land to set up a parameter then land soldiers in after
Base on the fact that China didn’t let it happen during the Korea war. I’m pretty sure China won’t let it happen now either. Just to top it off. China is also a nuclear nation too. So it would come down to another stalemate with enormous loss on both sides.
They also have fortification in every single line of hills
Who would you trust?
Actual historians and military analysts OR some UA-cam commenters who have a degree in military history from the university of UA-cam and watched a couple armchair historian videos
the real question in most of these political scenario videos
I think the bigger problem as soon as we show aggression, there’s a literal fuck ton of artillery waiting to take Seoul off the map. The civilian casualties would be devastating.
Granted it’s possible air strikes could get rid of those but the slightest mistake would lead to absolute devastation of a civilian populace
Park two air carriers by the shore, give air support and tell South Korea to stop playing nice and that’s an easy dub there
Basically means the only way to get pass, is to have a modern D-Day invasion. But this time there's Air Support for Warthogs
Why north korea =Douglas MacArthur
US pushed North Korea to the Chinese border 70 years ago. US technology and power has advanced since then while the N.Koreans hasnt.
Option N: Aircraft Carriers. Cause what can Cold war era Migs do to 5th gens.
The US will just send one ICBM into their capitol.
And they will send hundreds back to Washington. Oh yeah, and don't forget china.
Kaif’s odin is becoming stronger everyday, he’s becoming too powerful
It would be like desert storm. Long term shock and awe campaign, like 100+ days of neutralizing enemy air defenses, communications, and artillery. Then we would go in slow. 90% of North Korean artillery would be gone in a couple weeks.
A war with NK has to be multi prong attack, 1st weaken it's defenses by multiple and strategic bombardments on harden sites, do a atgm attack to soften enemy beaches and bunkers, on the other side station a substantial presence of watercraft to limit movements, and this is the most important part ask for and get china's approval as this would eliminate any legacy wars.
Or, hmo. We use our air force, to ground strike all fuel depot's. Then use airborne troops in important language, and then simply attack on multiple fronts.
You’re forgetting the real option here 😂😂. Just use multiple nukes 😂
Or you could drop airborne. One if by land. Two if by sea. Three if by air.
People said similar things pre invasion about Iraq. Don't underestimate the power of air superiority. Should we invade? No. Would we lose 20k a day? No.
or the option : bomb military objects from the air safely from some ship or high altitude aircraft for two weeks than just walk in.
but it would never happen cuz the world dont need that instability.
NK's would give up. Wouldn't take long.
We can force the North Korea Liberation Army into submission by giving them a single donut
F22, M1A2SEP V3, M3 Bradley,, Patriot system, 1st and second largest and most advanced Air Force in the world, and finally 1st, 2nd, and 3rd largest navy in the world. I think a bunch of soldiers using early cold war tech isn't very intimidating.
We could do an airdrop along with all those options to overwhelm their military and spread them out as much as possible.
There's also the option of turning the nation to glass by way of nuclear Armageddon.
