How about dropping several strategic nuclear weapons to neutralize the artillery?
Trolls are rubbery and loathsome.
Because fallout is bad?
Anyways, these articles always leave out the counter-fire batteries on the southern side of the DMZ. The North shoots, the South shoots back at their guns. Infantry and Armor rolls north. Hilarity Ensues.
The nice thing about being a bicycle geek in a Korean club meant I got to do rides most round eyes don’t get to take. Rode through the clean and pristine that is the gap between the northern fence and the DMZ fence. Saw the big artillery pieces, tubes pointed north, ammo stacked neatly for ready use.
Do you think China is going to arm and fund an insurgency? Or will they decide that the business dealings they have with the South outweighs the “Purity of Communism”? I’m betting Money Talks and Bull Caca Walks. Chairman Mao is long dead.
Fall-outs wouldn’t be that bad if they used small tactical nukes. The fall-outs can be contained to the battle fields in the North Korean side of the border.
Time to load up the MOAB’s (Mother of All Bombs) and head off to the north side of the DMZ.
There are two obvious times for the attack on the north to begin, either the second day of Chusok or Lunar New Year holiday. Seoul and the rest of the northern part of the ROK are virtually deserted which would significantly lower the body count.
Well add James Pearson to the ever growing list of “Journalists” who announce this “discovery”.
Funny thing about keeping a lot of artillery hidden in caves and tunnels.
Protection can quickly become a tomb.
The artillery as an unused threat is the only thing that has pre ented the South from liberating North Kora. If they ever used the artillery, they would be swept away. And it would be as bloody as any other civil war; but most of the bloid would be the poor Norks shouting out the equivalent of “Me no Alamo! Me no Goliad!!” like the Mexicans at San Jacinto.
Your geopolitical kung fu is very, very weak.
And it doesn’t require nukes or obvious attacks…
