“War between the US and North Korea would be catastrophic”

The threat of military conflict between the United States and North Korea continues to intensify as North Korea said yesterday it is carefully considering “plans for a missile attack on Guam, a United States Pacific territory. This came just hours after US President Donald Trump said [...]

This came just hours after US President Donald Trump said about North Korea that any threat to the United States would face “fire and fury”. However, even a limited American blow against North Korea would provoke deadly attacks that could quickly escalate into a wide nuclear war.

In the best scenario, a limited blow by the United States to a missile base or to a nuclear facility would not seriously damage North Korea's capabilities, but could convince the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, to seek dialogue instead of risking entry into a war he could not win.

If you stay patient and try to get out of this situation through negotiations with the United States, using China and Russia, he could survive”, says South Korean analyst Shin In-Keyon, broadcast VOA.

However, the excuse for military action to eliminate North Korea's nuclear threat has no solid basis, as there can be no certainty that the aggressive leadership in Pyongyang would operate with restraint.

There is a lack of connection between the argument that Kim Jong Un is crazy and may order an attack and the argument that he would be quite reasonable and would not respond to a United States attack,” says analyst Brushe Klinger.

North Korea warned that it would give “a strong lesson” The United States responding with nuclear weapons to any military action.

But military strategists say a limited attack would provoke a deadly artillery attack and possibly North Korea's chemical weapons against South Korea, which could escalate into a major conflict along the militarized border between the two Koreas, and would draw more than 28,000 US troops stationed in the south.

North Korea has the ability to attack 300,000 artillery shells at the first hour of an attack that could strike half the South Korean population, including the 10 million inhabitants of Seoul.

A broader attack on all North Korean missile and nuclear bases will likely include plans for a full invasion of the country.

To ensure the elimination of all North Korean nuclear and missile capabilities must end the North Korean regime”, says Brushe Klingner

Military courts say American forces would win in a war with North Korea, but the conflict would destroy the region and destroy millions of victims.

There is also the possibility that China will go to war in support of its ally, North Korea, making the conflict even more bloody.
