why

I think the bombers from guam could hit korea. They got bombed to hell by conventional bombers in the 1950s.

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! No it's not. N Korea isn't going to attack anyone.

TC. There is IMMENSE difference between "north-korea-seriously-considering-strike-on-guam" and "North Korea TO strike Guam." I can think of very few two statements which are more dissimilar, actually.

What's the name of the blonde in the salmon/pink dress?

Yeah right. North Korea gets to fire one missile before the wrath of the United States destroys every major city in North Korea in 15 minutes, and you think they are going to use their strike on Guam?

If they actually do that, they're signing their own death warrants. Bluster, and if it's NOT bluster, maybe the US will find shut them the hell up and get in there and do something without the rest of the countries being all "oh no, let's just leave them alone while they build nuclear arms".

I don't know why the video report was really slow and the voice really deep when I opened that up lmao

This. Idk what they'd gain by blowing Guam. It's a US territory, but it's got a tiny population in the grand scheme of things. The US would certainly glass NK at that point. Even with fallout to Seoul and SK, the US would be obligated to do something if struck.

All this would end in is the destruction of NK, and the deaths of thousands upon thousands of SKs as well.

I just feel like history has already told us what happens when you just constantly appease and placate an enemy. I guess it's the fear of creating another Middle East situation---guess we can't win either way.

They get one punch, make it a good one

This. They go bye bye right after they do anything.

if N Korea attacks the Chinese and RUssians have no choice but to break away from them and support the west for fear of total annihilation themselves.

NK is fucked

They're not actually striking Guam. Trump childishly drew a line in the sand about threats with that "fire and fury" nonsense. Kim is calling his bluff.

This is my bet as well.

Trump: "No more threats, or North Korea will experience fire and fury that the world has never seen."
Kim: *issues threat to strike Guam*
Trump: "Ok, I mean it this time. NO MORE THREATS OR ELSE".
---

Pretty much, straight up stupid of him to make a comment like that since he can't enforce it.

Forgetting about China here

China's not going to attack the US over North Korea.

Then why haven't we taken NK over yet?
---

Because we don't want to be seen as the aggressors, that would not sit well with the other nations. There are plenty of things they can do besides just straight up attack us.

Guam is a large military location for the US. Several naval and airforce bases are located there. Should the US ever actually launch an invasion of North Korea the first troops, ships and planes on location would probably be ones from Guam, so by taking it out in the preemptive strike it would slow down US retaliation efforts.

It's just like how the US nuked Hiroshima and Nagasaki and not Tokyo and Osaka, it's not about killing civilians, it's about hitting strategic military and industrial targets.
