Think Tank Reports Calls for 100 Nuclear Weapons to Defend South Korea
This think tank is calling for 100 modernized tactical nuclear weapons to defend South Korea, but believes they should be stored in the U.S.:
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (L) talks with officials during a visit to the Nuclear Weapons Institute in Pyongyang on March 27, 2023, in this file photo released by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA). Kim guided the work to mount nuclear warheads on ballistic missiles, and the institute reported the recent years’ work and production for bolstering the North’s nuclear forces, both in quality and quantity, according to the KCNA.

South Korea and the United States should modernize around 100 U.S. tactical nuclear weapons to support the security of the South against North Korea’s growing threats, a research report said Monday.
The Asan Institute for Policy Studies and the Rand Corp. made the suggestion in a joint report, stressing the North has “already established a nuclear weapon force that could pose an existential threat” to South Korea and is “on the verge” of posing a serious threat to the U.S.
“Kim Jong-un appears to be planning a force of at least 300 to 500 nuclear weapons… the 300-weapon threshold could almost be reached in 2030,” the report, titled “Options for Strengthening ROK Nuclear Assurance,” said.

Death-cultists.
what is this dumbest idea i’ve ever heard of? If North Korea uses its bomb, it’s already too late for South Korea to do anything.
Death-cultists.
It is well known that setnaffa wants Korea to depend on the USFK for its defense and opposes any efforts by Korea to increase its self-defense capabilities.
Considering an appropriate deterrent to North Korean nuclear weapons are a nuclear deterrent for South Korea, it is curious that setnaffa is adamant that South Korea does not possess a nuclear deterrent.
As such it is clear that setnaffa has no interest in the well-being of Korea, but is working against Korea at the behest of his Russian and Chinese masters.
Koreans aren’t affected badly by USFK.
America provides excellent security for a reasonable price. Korea watches and learns the procedures and features of top-level weapons systems that will be copied and sold. GI crime is down.
Koreans generally range from grateful to apathetic over USFK’s presence.
Do you know who hates USFK and want to make it an issue?

The chinabots also want to destroy the small businesses like Mike’s Arcade and Mike’s All Season that provide clothing and souvenirs to GIs and tourists.
Always with the destruction those tofu-dreg dirtbags.
It’s ironic that setnaffa has accused us Koreans of projecting and deflecting and has even referred to us as “chinabots,” yet he’s guilty of the same behavior with his sockpuppet.
Neither KM nor I expressed any opposition to the presence of the USFK; instead, we advocated for a Korean nuclear deterrent to safeguard Korea’s security.
However, setnaffa, who is undoubtedly a proponent of Chinese and Russian interests, is projecting and deflecting by attempting to portray us Koreans as the wrongdoers when, in reality, we are genuinely concerned about Korea’s security.
It’s evident that the setnaffa chinabot aims to hinder Korea’s ability to defend itself against external threats, as a weakened Korea would serve the interests of his Chinese and Russian handlers.
Furthermore, it’s widely known that Yoon’s inability to prevent the Itaewon tragedy had a detrimental impact on local small businesses. Yet, the setnaffa chinabot appears to have a vested interest in shielding Yoon from criticism and ensuring he remains in power.
It’s also rather peculiar, though not entirely surprising, to observe setnaffa adopting a communication style reminiscent of Chicken Head.
Be careful, Chinabots. If you start claiming to be USFK Fanbois, it takes away the only reason you have given for everyone supporting Yoon… to keep USFK in Korea.
Have you also become a Yoon supporter?
I am glad you now recognize how the leftists engineered the death of children in Itaewon by diverting police away from public safety by creating a national security crisis.
I am glad you now recognize how the leftists engineered the death of children in Itaewon by diverting police away from public safety by creating a national security crisis.
Indeed, our Setnaffarians appear to be quite restless.
What gives you that impression?
It’s quite evident.
They’ve once again concocted another conspiracy theory concerning Itaewon, and as usual, they engage in projection and deflection tactics.
This trend also suggests that the Setnaffa chinabot is struggling to find substantial arguments against the logical stance we Koreans consistently put forth.
Here we go again with KP claiming President Yoon should have prevented the Itaewon tragedy. Not the local police but President Yoon should have been out there handling crowd control just like former President Park should have swum out and rescued all the kids that died in the Sewol ferry sinking. We know the playbook the Korean left is trying to play here. Demagoging the Sewol tragedy contributed to taking out Park, but I do not see the demagoging of the Itaewon tragedy working to take out Yoon.
I’m not KP, but here we go again, ROK GI, ignoring the fact that Yoon ordered his minister to dispatch most of the cops that would have been dispatched to Itaewon, to be deployed around the protests and to be deployed around his own residence to protect himself. Again, no answer given why Yoon had to waste billions of dollars to move out of the Blue House, using up limited resources including the police force for absolutely no other reason than Yoon’s superstition that the Blue House had a bad vibe.
Answer these questions GI, instead of dancing around to protect a man only for the reason that he’s a useful idiot for America.
In every country, national security is more important than public safety.
This was known when the leftists intentionally took attention away from crowd control on the busiest night and moved it to needless protesters threatening the elected government.
Yoon did nothing unexpected or unusual.
In fact, his response was anticipated as part of the plan.
Why did Yoon move out of the Blue House?
The Moon juanta left it so full of audio (and even video) bugs it could never be secured.
So there are your answers.
But you knew this. Or, being a tool, maybe you didn’t.
Right out of the leftist playbook: Create a problem with no good solution and blame the right for their response when they make the best of an (intentionally) bad situation.
