How Will The U.S. Pay For War With North Korea?

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Why not leave NK alone and let them do whatever they want. Let South Korea or Japan deal with them.

I wouldn't want to fuck with Japan if we would ever get the fuck out of there and let them build their military. Bushido is alive and well.

Why do you think N. Korea is so pissed at the US? Another thing that amazes me is how US citizens think other countries "hate us cause they aint us". Wrong. its because the US is always fucking around in their countries and doing shit that doesnt hit our news.

Such as?

Because we are the self-designated World Police.

Various estimates place the cost of the U.S. military adventures in the Middle East since 2003 at $4 trillion to $6 trillion to date. This does not include additional costs that will be incurred in the future resulting from these wars.

Also, keep in mind, U.S. fighting during this century in the Middle East has been largely from the air. Most ground battles have been skirmishes against Islamic extremist guerrilla groups, not seasoned military troops with heavy artillery.

Leaving these few details about the Middle East wars behind for a moment, officials on both sides are predicting the war between the U.S. and North Korea to be inevitable, as Trump and Kim Jong-un keep upping the ante with their insults to each other.

So, taking into consideration the trillions-of-dollars of borrowed money the U.S. has already spent increasing unrest across the Middle East, with no end in sight, how will the U.S. pay the American defense industry for the war materials necessary to engage North Korea? (The corporate executives of these companies will expect their bonuses, and stockholders will certainly NOT be donating their dividends to the cause.)

Given the many insults Trump has aimed at our European allies, it’s doubtful any of them will pony up cash to loan the U.S. Plus, with the attention of the U.S. military split between the Middle East AND North Korea, Putin’s expansion into the Crimea will undoubtedly spread to other Eastern European nations. So, NATO members will have their hands full in Europe.

Also, China isn’t going to sit by and permit the destruction of their neighbor and ally North Korea. China has 2,183,000 active military troops to add to North Korea’s 1,190,000 active troops, to fight against the United States’ 1,347,300 military members.

Even with a best case scenario, where any sort of nuclear exchange can be avoided, and all action is limited to Eastern Asia, how long can the United States’ money and military hold out in a real war? Especially with the $1.5 trillion gift the GOP just gave to the 0.1% and Big Business? (The Social Security Trust Fund only has about $2 trillion in actual assets, the other $2 trillion in IOU,s from the federal government don’t count. This $2 trillion and eliminating all safety net programs could help, but not for very long in a real war.)

Any rational answers, anyone?

It won't. It will tack every penny onto the debt, like the last two wars.

No one would fuck with Japan if we would ever get the fuck out of there and let them build their military. Bushido is alive and well.

Sell them weapons and watch the fire works and learn.



or step in after the smoke clears

 

[Slyhunter]

I hate to say it but the op is right. Even in my optimistic view of things, we knock the shit out of them and they surrender before we need to use the troops. Even then someone has to feed them. Someone has to rebuild them. Someone has to govern them. And the rest of the world won't pony up. We should remove our troops and make S Korea and Japan arm themselves or not, either way, without us.

Get your checkbook out. The previous 8 years we did nothing to prevent this. It could have been stopped. It wasn't, so get your checkbook out.

Yes, there was. Obama made a deal with North Korea: Food against the end of the nuclear program. But Obama never delivered a single piece of bread and cancelled the deal when North Korea launched a missile carrying a satellite.

Clinton made a wheat deal + fuel. At least he didn't hand over everything like he did with China. W was busy with other stuff. O was too busy looking cute spouting failed rhetoric. All crap line-u .

 

[william the wie]

China has two foreign policy objective at stake:

1) Keep Japan disarmed

2) A reunified and heavily armed Korea to act as a buffer against Japan in case it rearms

Fat Boy gave China the finger when those objectives were pointed out to him. He did so by launching his latest rocket. Russia and India want China in chaos. We should pay for the war by selling Japan all the arms that they want so China will handle this mess.

How Will The U.S. Pay For War With North Korea?

The question is irrelevant. How will the US pay for all the harm and damage of years upon years of facile presidencies such as Obama's, to where now half our fleet of F-18's are unfit to even fly and half our fleet of B1 and B2 bombers are not ready to even get off the ground? How will we pay for the fact that NK could have been dealt with far easier, safer and more cheaply had we been proactive years ago when they said it was too expensive then rather than just kicking the can down the road under the guise of "diplomacy" that we all knew was doomed to failure before it even began? And now, how will we pay for a war with North Korea if we continue to sit on our hands waiting for them to make the first move? The most costly thing we can do is to keep giving them more and more time to develop their technology, opportunities and network between other hostile forces. The least costly thing is to stop them now before it's too late to set an example that the USA is not the hopelessly bureaucratic paper tiger that has led the rest of the West into ruin.

They will pay for like Boooosh the dumber did, by cutting taxes for the rich! Oops phase one already taken care of.

It won't happen. This is all about two megalomaniacs trying to show how fucking tough they are, if they went to war, they might get shown for what they really are.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

The US Needs to stay out of foreign entanglements. What threat is NK to us? What compelling national interest is served by meddling in their affairs?

The threat is fat boy can send a nuke our way and hold nations ransom....this will not be allowed to happen and if China steps in they too will be destroyed and they know it. Most likely what will happen is we hit them hard and their soldiers surrender quickly. They are one year out from putting nukes on an ICBM so that's a good timeline for when any strike occurs.

Pakistan has nukes. Why not invade them too?

India is a check on Pakistan.

One phrase "very large Garage sale"

We really should have a war tax.

Maybe that would cause some of us to think twice before sending our kids off to be slaughtered for someone's ego.

[NYcarbineer]

If war breaks out with Korea while the GOP is in power, they will borrow the money to pay for it,

and then sometime down the road, they'll blame the Democrats for the increases in the deficits and the debt.

We paid for every war up until Reagan's escalation of the Cold War, and if you look at our deficit history, you can see the consequences from then on.
