Korean War 2

No need to worry about war people. We've already blinked: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...997420280.html

What makes sense for some people is used as partizan bickering by other...

It's not an editorial, dip****.

Everything from the WSJ is opinion... and horrible ones at that

HC sounds like a kid who has never been to war before. The reality is most NK artillery is placed in hardened bunkers so it won't be as easy to pick off as he thinks. BTW NK won't do anything big or meaningful and instead this is just the new guy chest thumping for domestic consumption in order for him to build up a domestic reputation as being strong against their enemies. Also China won't tolerate a war and since NK gets all of their oil and much of their food from China they have no choice but to do what China tells them to do.

You didn't even read the article did you?

That has nothing to do with the fact that nothing I said actually disagreed with anything Oerdin said. For instance, I never made this claim:

Now do you understand why HC's retarded claim that they could all be knocked out with in one minute is so... Well... Retarded?

And once again, the thing I linked to wasn't a right wing blog. Oerdin didn't even click the link.

The Paladin will do the job but it would be nice if we had actually built the Crusader.

We now have anti-artillery weapons actually capable of intercepting rockets, artillery shells and even mortar shells in the air.

It doesn't matter what you did or didn't say, this is Poly OT.

What about using fuel-air devices? That little slit should be sufficient for an overpressure kill, shouldn't it?

My guess is probably yes if you could get it close enough though it would take time to target each one individually and there are only so many airplanes flying so many hours while they've had 60 years to build bunkers and nothing better to do. I'd go with Plato's estimate of 3 to 6 months. That's plenty of time for them to do a hell of a lot of damage on Seoul. Which, BTW, is a very nice and completely modern in every way city. NK would be so lucky to have a city half as well designed and productive as Seoul.

Other than, you know, claim all their preplaced artillery would be wiped out in minutes.

Yes but in my current game (Civ4) I wiped all their artillery in a single turn. This proves how easy it is to wipe out artillery.

South Korea is no slouch. Wouldn't their government make defending Seoul a priority? Seoul is pretty close to the border, but the North would still need very big guns to hit it. Big, easy to detect guns, that can only be in a certain area along the DMZ. I can't imagine that the North Korean bombardment of the capital would last very long. It would certainly get some shots off, but I bet there's more to the South's defenses than we're told.
