"Relax it's Donald Trump, the presidential candidate equivalent of the short bus." This kind of thinking has happened before.
hihohe
Hey someone of the shortbus once bit me so im am wary.

Is it the short bus because none of those half starved North Koreans are taller than 5 1/2 feet tall?
bradleylibralesso11
North Korea has done this before. They get upset at sanctions and then threaten everyone, but do nothing
JupitersWitch
If KJU wasn't such a massive douche nozzle, NK would improve quickly. He has to understand he is the cause of his own problems.

I want to see an upvote gif where someone gifts an upvote but it turns out to be a Reddit vote and the person gets upset.
minkeymagik
Nobody is going to do anything. Remember security counsel had a unanimous vote for sanctions
Eidodk
And one of the members of the security council has a permanent border to the area. Imagine how hard it is to circumvent these sanctions.
GirlInTheGreenDress
Not gonna lie...I'm a little worried here in HI. But mainly cuz my mom keeps telling me to evacuate.

Put Trump and KJU in the UFC Octagon.
HaniiPuppy
They have nuke though. Crappy nukes, but nukes. Imagine giving that awkward but weirdly violent and twisted kid a gun to take to school.
SirBrendan
Their nukes aren't crappy anymore. That's what incited this entire diplomatic clustrefuck. They've successfully miniaturized.

So we've been laughing at their attempts while they just learn and get angrier.

Having spent time in the ROK on the DMZ... you should be. We'll wipe em' out in time, but this'll lead to casualties that surpass Vietnam.

Significantly. Significantly surpass Vietnam. Also, you're not a combat vet are you? We've been fighting "goat herders" since 2001.

On a second thought, I have to downvote. I assume you don't live anywhere near NK right?

Except that bus is being driven by a knucklehead with national pride clouding his otherwise wacked out judgement
sirbartonslady
"national pride" yeeeeeaaaaaah.... i'm sure that's what it is
justherefortheshitposting
His judgement is focused solely on continuing to have a comfortable life for himself. DPRK only goes to war if that's seriously threatened.

Yes
thepurpletwitch
Yeah, except he pretty much promised to throw nuclear darts at Guam, so...........
Eidodk
Nope, International waters outside Guam was the words... If you feel provoked by that you'll be the ones striking first.
ReallyGoodBee
The thing is, NK is totally trying to provoke the US, because China has a pact to defend them if the US hits first.
SteveMND
Well, at least we have someone at the helm who is not prone to rash, unreasoned responses to obvious goading provocation. Oh, wait... Crap.

its easy to not be scared of North Korea when you're on the other side of the earth. When you're in South Korea, it's kind of another story.

trump may be a bad president but I wouldn't go as far as to say that trump doesn't understand who he's dealing with

South Korea is pretty much the only reason North Korea still exists. They are basically hostages
AlaskanNinja
Honestly no one in my Bn really gives a shit
Caligula58
I live in Korea and I can tell you that people are not worried about NK here. It's just a constant in life. More fear is reserved for Trump.
DukePhelan
That fear is justified. NK requires handling by mature adults. Trump is neither. NK is playing him like the damn fool like he is.
Winterous
The sooner they're wiped out the better (NK), the longer it takes, the more countries are basically South Korea to them.

I'm more scared of Trump wanting to start a war on at least 5 fronts, Russia, the Media, North Korea, ISIS, and Mexico.

You're an idiot if you think that might actually happen
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
I thought he was an installed Russian agent? Why would he start a war with his boss?
NullSecc
United States checking in. We got your back SK
URmomsgrundle
No its not. Not until they close the schools anyway.
teh0khardic
That's a good point actually, especially considering that Seoul is only a couple hours south of the border
Orientedx3depravity
IF it starts and you're in SK hope you're in the south they've got a whole lot of artillery that will start shooting major cities in range.
BrothaDarkness
if they had the grapes to try something they would have done it a long time ago.
Fpt04
And no one in South Korea is worried, sooooooo...
flarflarf
it's not that they're not worried, it's that they're numb. Seoul is within artillery range of the DMZ.
flarflarf
Tens or hundreds of thousands of civillian casualties would be a real-world estimate if NK decided to shell Seoul.
Mechlai
if they invade, lots of people including americans are going to die, and I can't imagine a full scale war happening without cities 1/2

You honestly don't need to worry. From the moment we decide to attack it will be over before they have a chance to react.
swinglinered
Research this. Tunnels. More Tunnels. 10k artillery concealed in mountains. Flooding of Seoul, etc.
thecolonels
Like y'all crushed the Taliban? defeated the veit cong? kicked the British out of what would become Canada?
MaSu10
For the ppl saying that SK isn't worried and doesn't give a shit doesn't make you immune to a barrage of missiles, it can happen, it might.
8hourgamer
The best way to beat NK is to have their troops see how things are in SK
pokenar
Exactly. Sure I have 0 fear of being killed by an NK Missile since I'm on the eastern side of Canada, but those poor Koreans.....
YharnamsFinest
All I've ever seen is S Koreans who say they're not bothered by N Korea and they'd rather America stop antagonising them, I don't think 1/2
YharnamsFinest
I'd feel that way if I lived there. 2/2
snoopfroggydawg
They feel that way because America has kept NK in NK if America wasn't there to protect SK there would be no SK left

FrozenRhinoSperm
Yeah. I don't think we have much to worry about here but they can certainly cause hell for a while there. Hope you're safe if you're there
pisdhiuasdhius
Hell for a while? Both SK and NK would be wiped out in this war.
Enderskild
Depends. THAAD is pretty great. And I'd be pretty unhappy about trying to assault across the DMZ on land while catching hell from USAF.
pisdhiuasdhius
Perhaps, but Seoul is only 30 miles or so from the DMZ. A surprise attack by the DPRK could hit Seoul before an initial defence could be set
Enderskild
I would think we would monitor mass troop movements. And I'm pretty sure we do have defenses up... and the USAF scramble time is (1/2)
WrongReference
And, you know, the 50 million South Koreans too....
droppingbeats
I believe that was implied when they said "you're." Not "you" being the one replied to but as a more general term.
martianrider
Englishmen shouldn't have lost "thou". Sometimes it's really damn confusing.
FrozenRhinoSperm
I mean, the comment was directed to the guy I responded to, but I definitely wasn't trying to tell the other South Koreans to pound sand...
TheOtherOneWithTheHair
That's not how English works, "you're" is a contraction of "you are" not a plural. Why is everyone on Imgur so clueless about basic English?
MayTheTriforceBeWithU

camcam1234
Don't be too worried, NK won't do anything that will undermine its statehood. Nuclear or conventional war would be a mistake for KJU and NK.

NK is now a real threat, and increasingly so. What would u do, buy them flowers? Even China is on board. China. U can't reason with a maniac

Trump's worse. The US actually has nukes, Trump can order them launched, and has said in the past it would be the best way to handle some
NotMyUsualOnlineName
situations. Plus he has a habit of not listening to his advisers, and firing anybody that disobeys him.
pajamallamadrama
You can't launch nukes without the 5 launch codes. It's not just pressing a fucking button and boom. Safety measures exist.
therealsalvi
you do realize trump cant just shoot a nuke right? it has to go down the chain and be okayed by the Pentagon
NotMyUsualOnlineName
Not true. SecDef is the only one that has to approve it, but Trump can fire him if he doesn't. SecDef's #2 takes over, and the approval

CowboyZ
Yeah, DPRK only needs to get two shots off, Seoul and Tokyo, for massive casualties.
APinkDragon
Not even missiles. They have artillery pointed at Seoul.
Salmonthegreat
Cant SK buy some of those Iron-dome missiles from Israel? That, and land-based Phalanx guns would provide at least some protection?
DougDeNasty
Is could stop a few, but they could rain down thousands of rockets and shells before counter-battery fire could stop them.
APinkDragon
The artillery is already trained, I believe. So the guns would need to be taken out before word speards to the others.
apolloin
They have an assload of rocket artillery. They don't need nukes to obliterate Seoul and there's not much that can stop it.

vindik8or
North Korea could pretty much level Seoul with conventional artillery as an opening salvo in a war. No need for the nuclear armament.
Anonawesome
Supposedly, the plan for the USAF base near Seoul is to evacuate all the jets, then let NK take over the base, then come back w/ more power.
