I was stationed in Camp Casey during 2006, and, one day on a road march, I asked Top what we would do if North Korea came over the border. Top stopped the whole formation and explained that all our bases and all our military assets were already dialed into their artillery and rockets, and that our battlefield role was to be a speed bump for North Koreans while The U.S. and South Korea reacted. I never forgot that.

@@orangecat504 I would say that our groups in eastern Europe are a deterrent. It's about proving that we are willing to back up our NATO allies. It also forces ourselves to act if Putin does something. If our troups die in Latvia we're gonna have to do something, and Putin knows that. That will in theory stop Putin from trying anything. Which will lead to no conflict whatsoever. It's like stationing a police officer to stop speeding, or a home alarm to prevent burglars.

I think that completely takes away from how important your job was, along with the active duty SK forces, although it would be very bloody it would be imperative that the active duty personnel close to the border fight tooth and nail, because the south Koreans have mandatory conscription they have a massive base of trained men but would need time to raise reserve units or volunteer units like the Ukrainian TDF, organize them, arm them, and give them training on new weapons, tactics and systems, and US forces outside Korea would need time to get in country especially if they are coming from the mainland US, obviously troops from bases like Japan and Guam could be there in days to weeks but considering how massive the Norths army is there will need to be large quantities of men and equipment brought in from North America, the bulk of it by ship, I would not want to be a soldier on or near the DMZ durring the initial hours or days of a conflict, that being said depending on their actions and depending on how feircly they resist it could save the lives of countless civilians if they are given time to flee, and the less ground given the fewer US and South Korean soldiers would need to die later in the conflict taking that ground back, also the less ground taken the less damage would be done to the south Korean infrastructure and economy and could be the difference between a long road to economic recovery and millions of refugees or a short term recession that wouldn't hamper south Korean long term economic ambitions

I have doubts that South Korea backing out of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty would make them into a pariah. Not only are they economically important on a global scale, not to mention the influence from the Korean diaspora within many allied nations, but South Korea is also still ideologically aligned with these nations whether or not they have nukes. At most, they would only lose their most tenuously linked trading partners.

When I was a kid, my family lived in the northeastern Chinese province Liaoning that directly boarders NK. Each and every time when there was a missile test, we were also terrified because we're not confident about their technology at all... And since we're just next to each other, a small technical issue might end up destroying our city entirely. Till today I cannot forget watching the news nervously with my grandma many years ago.

​@@noidsuperexcept if NK declared open war by launching nukes they'd swiftly get rained down upon. Nuclear war is a zero sum game, but the ones initiating it stand to lose even more than the ones getting hit by the initial nuke. It's why even 1 and a half years after Putin's invasion of Ukraine, with all those threats of using nuclear arms, it hasn't happened once. Putin knows if he launches nukes he will well and truly be on his own. Xi cannot defend the use of nukes while trying to maintain the sovereignty stance. It would immediately escalate the invasion and get NATO involved. If NK started launching nukes they'd get a swift response from the West, SK, and Japan

I'm noticing a pattern here: it's always the money, i.e. the oil. I lived through both invasions of Iraq, so you would think I couldn't be surprised by that today. The mainstream media somehow forgets to mention that oil was involved in conflicts, so sometimes it sneaks up on you.

I was stationed in Seoul in 2014-2015. North Korea fired a rocket accross the DMZ to destroy a S. Korean propoganda speaker. At the time we did didn't know this though, and we all thought we were about to get attacked. It was one of the most tense moments of my life, because we knew that our current location was in the impact zone of thousands of artillery pieces. We had also been told many times that's we were just a "speedbump" to slow down the N Korean Army until reinforcements from the mainland arrived.

It really wasn't until years later did I learn how close to war we came. We would have won in the end, but I doubt most of the troops stationed there initially with me would have survived other than the pilots, who would have dropped their bombs and flew to Japan as they did not expect to hold the bases.

The rocket was a Hwasong 17. It's been around for a couple of years they just hadn't pushed it as far. 6000 km is extremely impressive and it's a beast of a rocket well capable of orbital lauch of around 1 t. Staged combustion engines too, basically Made in Korea RD-250s. It is my estimation that we can expect a lot of space launch activity from NK in the coming years. It's proven way of testing missiles while performing useful work such as launching surveillance satellites. They are cut off from the rest of the world so having their own intelligence gathering assets is vital and of course it's a big propaganda victory. People still think their rockets are shit when actually they have become a premier manufacturer of doomsday devices. Coupled with the last tested nuclear weapon the H17 becomes something to be feared. Up to 6 x 250 kt, most likely able to be targeted individually. And with that yield their bad accuracy is less relevant now. You can miss by quite a bit with that yield and with decoys the GMD ABM system would be overwhelmed by as few as 5-8 H17s. After that the rest would get through. Honestly one could do it, just dedicate one H17 to launching 50 decoys or more (inflatable warheads painted to reflect radar like a real one).

Fear. Many will read what you have left here and they will fear it. I do not. It is possible to be aware of nuclear weapons and not be living in fear of it. I have been doing it my whole life. You have too. Everyone born after 1949 has. Every human born after 1949 on this Earth has lived their entire lives under the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation. It is as natural to you as breathing is at this point. It is a part of what defines you as '221 b'; and without the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation you would be someone else entirely. And if your parents were born after 1949(like mine were) they would have been the same way, which means without the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation you may not even exist. Yeah, you may owe your very existence to the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation. How can you be afraid of this? How can anyone be afraid of it? Do you even have a right to be afraid of it?! Me? When I hear threats of nuclear annihilation I lean one of two ways. I dismiss it entirely, or I treat the threat with indignance. I either don't care or I dare you to do it. Because really, at this point, if I did fear the relentless threat of nuclear annihilation, I would be paralyzed with fear, huddled in a corner somewhere, unable to move, unable to function. And lastly, what does one expect another to do? These are matters that are unfortunately way beyond your control. I mean, if you had the time to worry about a RU-vid video, you don't have any control over anything. So fear? Why even bother with it.

In their case, the mere mention of nuclear weapons was enough to get them to back down. What does that even mean? That means Russia is ALREADY using their nukes in an offensive manner. In fact, Russia has leveraged their nuclear weapons to good effect, they have been able to use them without actually detonating them. Effectively allowing Russia to use their nukes, free of charge. Nuclear deterrent no longer works. And really, I am wondering now if it EVER worked to begin with.

Sad to say but you get used to missile launches here and it doesn’t phase the S Koreans (or at least not as much as people would think so). N Korea has threatened for so long and its also a way of trying to get money from S Korea due to sanctions. N korea is not stupid enough to attack S Korea due to the US military , but it is true that S Korea wanting to arm itself w/ nukes too. It’s crazy reality but everybody here seems to erase it w/ K-pop & k dramas.

It's not censored. At least 80% of RU-vids viewers are under the age of 18 and promoting violent, sexual or otherwise inappropriate material to children would chase away advertisers and start forcing parents to ban their children from RU-vid altogether grossly lowering revenues which you might not care about but would cause your favorite creators to not be able to do this for a living because RU-vid wouldn't be able to pay them. Is not allowing children to purchase pornography or watch ultra violent movies censorship? No, it's just common sense. I love this creator and they have nearly 7 million subscribers so it's safe to say the RU-vid algorithm has actually been incredibly kind to them. Not to mention how many channels out there pump out straight up propaganda and push agenda driven narratives painting history and current affairs in a light favorable to their political affiliation and obviously monitoring that content is very difficult. RU-vid is so large and ubiquitous now it's not unreasonable to expect it to follow the same guidelines as other mainstream broadcasters.

If you use this vocal technique too often, it really diminishes the content. 4:18 has one sentence where "rapidly" and "prime" are both heavily stressed, and it comes off a bit distracting. If everything is important, than nothing is important. Best of luck in 2023!

Coyle also wrote a novel about a U.S. invasion of Mexico and published it years before the WOT got us into Iraq. I think it was a pretty fair assessment of what we’d encounter if the events actually occurred. No more 19th Century gunboat diplomacy.

The one factor that came to mind that can be an option by S. Korea is if say 30 years from now they don't have the man power to fill their military needs. S. Korea has the economic, infrastructure and technological advantage and As A.I and robotics tech improves. They devote their efforts in R&D in those fields and start creating a robotic army.

Iraq didn't willingly give up its nuclear weapons because it never had any , thier Reactor got destroyed by isarel a bit before desert Strom happened before it even had the chance to start operating , Isarel used like 8 F16s to do that This same type of operation also happened against Syria... EDIT : Ukraine was way more complex then Just "Security grantees " , Ukraine had no access to these weapon what's so ever , as all the codes were in the hands of the Moscow based forces and they werent about to say a thing , Further The US had actually prepared a financial aid package for all Eastern block with a condition of disarmament... Baiscly Ukraine didn't had the money to hold/maintenane or reverse engineer it , Nore did it the means to use it or even the army to hold it while the attmpet of revesere engineering these happens , The political backing wasn't really there either , in a scene getting ride of these weapons like Belarus and kazhaksten was the only safe thing to do and the security grantee that "this is Ukraine" was about the best they could get with it

Iraq didn't give up nuclear weapons but it served as an example of what it can mean to be a non-nuclear country on United States' bad side. Especially when you compare that to Russia where US don't even dare directly intervene in Ukraine. For NK this is a clear sign: if you don't have nuclear weapons, you're prey. If you do have them... then even invading South might be an option since US might end up hesitant to really throw their weight behind it if NK threatens nuclear retaliation in such case.

Something I have suspected for a long time is this. Because of mutually assured annihilation, countries with nuclear capabilities, do not need to fear being invaded, or attacked conventionally, because in a phase of being destroyed, they can just launch their missiles, likely starting the end of the world. If I was a high ranking general, my number one priority in weapons, research would be developing a way to intercept or disable launched Weapons of mass destruction. Because everybody having a gun to the others head means we all lose but if one had the ability to make it, so everybody else has guns don’t fire that leaves only us holding the gun. Since the end of the Cold War, I imagine this has been a high priority. And we The public have no idea that technologies our military has. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying that at any given time are military has technology that is 10 years more advanced than what is available to the public for obvious reasons. I sure hope we have something like this, but if we don’t, it is shortly in the works, and not just by us. Whoever is able to successfully create a means to make nuclear weapons, inert or not a threat. That country will be the new world superpower.
