wasn't chemical warfare outlawed (globally) as being against human rights?

I don't think North Korea is one for upholding human rights.


i will laugh so hard when a bunch of people are celebrating a homestuck update and then in the middle of it korea launches a nuclear attack
Homestuck update is more important anyway.

You sir.

Are an starfish.

If they bomb us, we bomb them. We bomb them, someone will join the fun, like Russia, since the ammount of nuclear radiation that we forgeted NK with will shower over China and the part of Russia that no one cares about. Everyone would die, especially the innocents. SK will also get forgeted because we leveled NK.

You are an idiot and shouldn't try to decide things like this.

That doesn't mean we won't use nukes. If Korea launches missiles at the US, its territories or Japan, we would most likely retailiate with nuclear missiles fired at North Korean military bases, and maybe, if we are starfishs, Pyongyang.

Most of the exchange would thereafter would be with smaller, sub-nuclear warheads to bombard specific targets. You honestly don't need a nuke to take out a colum of tanks, or other realitivley small target.

A complete nuclear bombardment of North Korea would most likely be a breach of the Geneva Conventions, on the account of killing millions of civilians.

...no, we wouldn't. sorry to break it to you but the US government isn't run by a bunch of 12yo codcigarettes
nukes are not something to be thrown around, especially against as small and weak a target as north korea

(kinda off topic but I wanna know)
Do you really think people give a stuff about playing fair in war?

Do you really think people give a stuff about playing fair in war?
after ww2, yes. all countries are terrified of a large-scale conflict. horrible loving things happened in ww2.
all (reasonable. read: not NK, not iran) countries will avoid a conflict like that at all costs.
refusing to play fair will bring in more countries against you, escalating into a large conflict.

in nk's case, they still won't go too crazy
if they launched a nuke, they would immediately lose all allies/friends

No we wouldn't. If North Korea did launch a nuke, we would probably invade their country or bomb it with other means other than a nuke.

It is part of the Geneva conventions. However the US only partially agreed to it. We still use weapons that are banned by the Geneva conventions such as thermobaric weapons(these are fuel air bombs), land mines, and we even have the Chemical Warfare Corps around still. Basically no one plays by the rules.

The most recent country to play dirt is Iraq who fired scuds on Israel during the Gulf War. Iran and Iraq used chemical weapons on each other in the Iran-Iraq war, Iraq even gassed the Kurds.

The U.S. wouldnt use nuclear weapons on North Korea.

Its weird that this is a continuation of the Korean War.

I think that we would use nukes on North Korea, just not on a grand enought scale to completely wipe out the country. We would most likely use them against fixed missile bases and silos, military instalations where troops and combat equiptment is held. That's what I'm trying to say.

Like I said the rest of the exchange would consist of sub-nuclear missiles, basically naval-based Tomahawks. Nukes are strategic weapons. We are not going to sink the country with nukes, we would most likely use them to stop North Korea from retaliating. After that, it is likely that we would invade the North from the DMZ and take Pyongyang.

California got hit by fallout from the Fukishima incident and now babies are being born here with Thyroid problems. I don't North Korea's neighbors want radioactive fallout to rain down on them. Your better off using Tomahawk missiles to take out communication centers, military command posts, and Kim's bunker. Hell that's what Tomahawks are for.

You understand that you dont need a nuke to destroy a building right? Even small nukes causes nuclear fallout which spreads much farther then the blast radius of the nuke. Nuclear fallout is not a very nice way to die, as it does horrible things to you before you die. In essence, we would NOT use a nuke of any kind on NK because its just the government thats the bad guys, not all of the people living there who cant afford to feed themselves because Dennis Rodman's Pal is a warmonger. Also the nuke would probably effect SK as well.

As a tactical genius, the us can have some subs within striking range of Pyongyang and use cruise missiles(non nuclear offcourse), meanwhile B2-Spirits can drop bunkerbusters on the silos and any underground command centers. Totally a better plan than Slayer's nuke the world plan.
