The US will lose in a war against North Korea, a former Pentagon commander warns

[rightwinger]

Give me an example where libs wanted a more aggressive foreign policy

Their sudden hatred of Putin comes to mind; he obviously reneged on a kickback to Hillary somewhere in their bribery negotiations and pissed off Obama and hillary.

Then why did Putin elect Trump?

Ouch. You just don't care how bad you make yourself look, do you?

Crooked Donnie is up to his armpits in corruption

it's the ridiculous crap/lies like this that got him elected and why your posts are not even taken seriously
Trump this, Trump that 24/7
Trump wears wrong colors
Trump uses their instead of there
Trump ties right shoe first
Trump puts right leg pants on first

Trump has the Stink of Russia lingering over his presidency

The Newsweek article headline was misleading. According to the link provided, here is what was said by Lt. Gen. Jan-Marc Jouas, the former deputy commander of U.S. Forces in Korea:

“If a conflict between North Korea and the United States suddenly broke out, U.S. Troops in South Korea would be "outnumbered" and undersupplied, warn Lt. Gen. Jan-Marc Jouas, the former deputy commander of U.S. Forces in Korea.

"The 28,500 U.S. Armed Forces personnel in South Korea are vastly outnumbered by North Korean forces, as well as [South Korean] forces that will conduct the overwhelming majority of the fighting. Unlike every conflict since the last Korean War, we will not be able to build up our forces prior to the start of hostilities”

His comments did not address the full military advantages/disadvantages of both sides of the conflict but only concerned the ground troops already in Korea. The United States has an arsenal the likes of which North Korea has never seen. No sane person would ever believe that North Korea could win a war with the U.S. The Newsweek reporter who concocted that headline is engaging in pure sensationalism. He probably had previous employment with The National Enquirer.

The Six-Hour War

Just like Israel did to Egypt in the Six-Day War, we must take out NoKo's heavy weapons before they even know there's a war on. And the enemy's willingness to sacrifice massive numbers of its ground troops can only be met with tactical nukes. We lost in Korea and Vietnam because that human-wave suicidal attack weapon was stronger than anything our queasy quislings were willing to use. Backing down again will also make us seem like pushovers to our greatest enemy, the religion of human sacrifice.

When will you people realize that the problems with WMDs is that often the wind blows the wrong way and you wind up killing more of your own than the enemy? I am sure the Japanese have enough radiation problems from Fukushima than having fallout raining over their island. I don't think they would approve.

isn't the Yangtze the third longest river in the world ...a lot of the Mekong does not run through China..
the Mekong is about the third longest in China

Yes, part of the Mekong River runs through other countries. That is not preventing China from building massive dams on the parts of the river within their borders.

I disagree that we need to use nukes, but you're right that these vermin only see 'dialoguing' and a willingness to hold endless 'peace talks' as nothing but weakness and an opportunity to strengthen their firepower. Same for their Islamo-Nazi friends and Putin, too, Obama's and Hillary's best friend, until he missed a pay off.

Our conventional firepower capabilities are more than enough to not need nukes for such a small operation as disabling NK, just as it was for Hussien's military, fourth largest in the world at the time of Gulf Storm; NK would be over in much less time than it took to neutralize Saddam's offensive capabilities.

I disagree. The costs would be enormous to the economies of both South Korea and Japan, and thus our economy since so many of our products are produced there.

Then, if we were to win the war, what about the costs involved in restoring North Korea's government. Do you honestly think China is going to handle that for us?

We are in the classic no-win scenario. We are damned if we do, and damned if we don't. Plus, we don't get to decide to go to war or not. That all depends on Kim's decision-making process.
