This. With our subs and carriers we can project our military might anywhere in the world in 24 hours or less

If you mean a normal bomb it would probably be about a month or so until the government collapsed, the process of rebuilding a new government or reuniting them with S.Korea or becoming a part of China would take years.

If you mean a nuke then there wouldn't be a North Korea within the hour, just the Northern Creator.

China would either standby idly or help out if NK were the aggressor.

It depends on if China got involved. assuming it was just us vs North Korea though, with no interference, we would destroy them in a day. less than a day.

If it was a nuclear bomb Trump would probably respond in kind.

The war would be extremely short in that case.

What if they nuked D.C.? (not really possible i know) But what would happen in America? Would there be any way to launch a nuke at them? WOULD we nuke them back? Or regular bombs?

we have nukes all over the place that can launch. even if DC was destroyed, there are military installations that could fight back. and we have a line of succession that decides who is in charge depending on who dies. so like even if a bunch of leaders were killed in DC, someone would survive somewhere and take charge of the country and order the retaliation from one of our countless military bases

It's a peninsula, NK shares its northern border with China. Perhaps you were thinking of Taiwan :)

No, Korea is the biggest island on Earth. Perhaps you're the one who's confused. Steve Irwin, kangaroos, shrimp on the barbie, etc

Would the missile/bomb even reach the continental US before it was intercepted and blown up? NK would be an afterthought if that ever happened.

Kim Jong Un would probably go to China, with NK's capital gone. Then China probably gets involved with NK mostly gone.

China has made it clear that NK is on its own if they attack the US first.

The length of war depends on how much the president cares about minimizing NK civilian death. Also, given the damage that NK could do to SK, I imagine that the US would favor options that end the war quickly. One way or another, I doubt that a war with NK would look like another Iraq.

From what I understand, our missile defense systems like THAAD have a somewhat spotty record when it comes to shooting down missiles in tests. I wouldn't want to have to find out whether they can shoot down a missile in real-world conditions with LA or Chicago on the line.

Same but North Korea supposedly also has dated missile technology so in theory that would give us a better chance of shooting it down...right?

It would be relatively quick war, but there would be so many casualties that it'd be biblical.

If they really sent a nuke with intention to hit us, they would be at full military alert, and they would be at the ready with conventional weapons and artillery. As soon, if not before, the nuke hits, they would know there is no going back. South Korea would be sent back to the dark ages before we would have time to respond.

We might have slightly better odds with that in mind - they're not going to have missiles capable of launching MIRVs or anything exotic like that. Still, I wouldn't feel very confident about it

I think they are. They'd most likely sent their military to the border and invade NK and push it's borders until they were able to make much smaller border. From there we'd probably get a Hong Kong or post WW2 Germany situation again

Using the information in this picture as the only real information I know of NK's military and all of my Total War game knowledge; Id say they'd push to one of those lines and then use the current border and new border as a buffer zone.

If North Korea struck first, China has said they're washing their hands of the situation. They won't be coming to their aid.

NK will never actually nuke the US. Un was threatening the waters outside of Guam, and Trump put Un in his place. Un cowered the fuck down and hasn't dared to say shit like that since.

Our economies are too entangled for them to choose NK over the US if it came down to it. (It won't)

3 weeks. Tops.

If China gets involved, Russia will too. Then UK and Canada will probably join an allied front.

Shit... this could be the war to end all wars.

Actually that is New Zealand hell it and Australia used to be an entire continent a huge chunk of it sank though.
