It seems really strange that in this last election the most volatile and dangerous area of the world was never mentioned except in passing. I'm talking about North Korea. North Korea as the most concentrated dangerous military up anywhere in the world. Of course the US is the dominant military power but we are spread out all over. North Korea is concentrated. A few months ago I read a few statistics that support North Korea as my biggest fear.
Besides having nuclear weapons that can reach all of the Pacific Rim there working on missiles that could reach the West Coast of the United States. Right now they have nuclear missiles that can reach Western Alaska. Besides their nuclear armament they have conventional Army and weapons. Right now there is 2 1/2 million in their standing army with a reserve of 2 million more. This is opposing a South Korean force of 1 million standing army and a small contingent of US troops in a base.
I read that North Korea, if it were to invade South Korea, would take him three days to occupy Seoul South Korea. There is only one thing that keeps them from doing this. It is the nuclear deterrent that the United States has in place due to our base there and an agreement was South Korea to defend them in the event of an invasion.
So the scenario I think of that terrifies me is that the only deterrent would be that we would "bomb the crap out of them" if they were to invade South Korea. This isn't a fantastic to deterrent because if there are me is in South Korea we can only bomb North Korea. I know Donald Trump probably views the leader of North Korea as that strange little kid with funny hair that wears weird coats. Leader of North Korea probably views Donald Trump is that strange guy with the weird comb-over who wears red ties.
One suggestion Donald Trump bad was to give nuclear arms to Japan but I don't see how that would work. Japan is the oldest civilization in the Pacific Rim. They are not inclined to back South Korea and especially would never backed China which seems to hold the North Korea and check a little bit. I think most Americans think the Pacific Rim is all one big happy family. This is so far from the truth. North Korea, South Korea, Japan and China are all very separate and have no real bonds to each other. My big fear is that this tight rope that the US has been walking with the Koreas is beyond the scope Donald Trump since he just wants to "bomb the crap out of people" of course if we use nuclear weapons against North Korea began expected nuclear retaliation by China against us.
The concentration of military in the Korean Peninsula is almost incomprehensible. Our deterrent said small force that would be wiped out very quickly and be our reason to act with nuclear capability. I think that is enough said.
