Dont worry OWh - Ive seen your future - you will be just fine.

Listen - the snow is falling

Should we be concerned? Will there be mushroom clouds?

No and no.

If anything we should be concerned about it's the picture that's not getting much light. The US is unlikely to play softly softly with NK if war breaks out for full well it knows Iran is watching.

If any NK warheads exist the yanks shall have each and every one of them targeted and made redundant in the first 5 minutes of war. If an advance on foot occurs I can't see the US and SK wasting the time with ground war, airstrikes will suffice. The whole thing shall be over a few days later with NK left worse off.

Oh. I thought this essentially was US v China. Then all their mates turn up to the party. At the minute the US is effectively shoving them in the chest and going "yeah, fink you're hard do you?"

Just worried China and it's allies will just lay them out in one punch.

US and Sorth Korea begin military exercises

Well despite warnings from NK and the concerns from China, the US and SK are pressing ahead

WHS

It wouldn't be like the Germans marching into Belgium - South Korea has at least half the strength of the North Korean forces, and with the Yanks' help I imagine they could stop an incursion in it's tracks, although not without suffering a fair bit of damage.

edit: Someone recently prepared an interesting article Bluffer's Guide: North Korea strikes! (2009), referenced from a current thread on the ARRSE Forum

Easy lad

No need to panic, carry on as normal

Nope; in this case China is 'mates' with NK, but when it comes to 'putting up' they will say, 'steady on now do be a prat'.

China - NK might be a mate but is more of an most of the time.
