>Tokyo
>Seoul

And nothing of value was lost.

>Beijing

>Implying China wouldn't kill EVERY SINGLE gook in North Korea over that.

My question is what are all the liberals on /new/ doing to support their comrades in North Korea

>>1083311
Implying North Korea gives a shit.

>>1083305
>Beijing
Well if the whole country gave up on existing

>Beijing
>Implying the DPRK would nuke the closest thing to an ally they have

>>1083315
Because pissing off a country with zero sense of human rights and the largest standing military on earth is a good idea.

They can't reach Japan yet and as soon as NK indicates that it got rockets powerful enough to reach Japan then the japanese will build their own bomb within a couple of hours. They have all the parts lying around all they need to do is assemble.

>>1083351
Japan wouldn't have to do jack shit.

The US would respond within minutes.

>>1083346
Nuking Beijing would be a measure taken once DPRK realizes China isn't actually going to offer them any military aid. China isn't stupid enough to gun for North Korea.

>>1083305
>DPRK could hit Tokyo, Seoul, and Beijing with nuclear weapons.

Trifecta!

>>1083364
Nuking china has no drawback besides making whats left of china mad. No one will aid china.

>>1083358
you don't know that and with the current political situation I really doubt the US would nuke NK if NK somehow manages to set off a bomb in Tokyo. The US won't risk a nuclear war with China a few million dead Japanese.

>>1083379
If they were nuked by North Korea? Yeah we probably would offer assistance. Whether they take it or not is another story.

>>1083381
>Implying China would still defend N Korea after that.

Doing so would make them a pariah in the eyes of the world which is bad for business.

>>1083383
If you have been following recent relationships with the US and China , China has basically referred to the US the way NK is talking to SK now.

The US government would most likely only help china so they can hinder them in the long run.

>>1083392
>make China our bitch

>>1083305
if the US wasn't so hurr durr leftist we could win the korea war , the vietnam war vassel every state in the gulf and maintain a 50% hold of the worlds economic resources as it was post WWIII.

i thought the japanese had intense TMD?

>>1083411
>Implying we could've won the Korean War with anything short of nuking

>>1083446
We can win every possible war on this planet without nuking. The problem is our public opinion(s) will never let us.

>>1083305
>DPRK could hit Tokyo, Seoul, and Beijing with nuclear weapons.

But never will because it would mean utter obliteration.

>>1083466
There's no way we could've won once China joined, a bloody stalemate was inevitable. It would have been even worse if the war was escalated to force the USSR to join.

>>1083509
a stalemate?
I'm pretty sure a couple of nukes could've changed that.
China's bound to run out of fodder.

>>1083520
>without nuking

>>1083524
a couple of nukes =/= nuking

>>1083524
fire raids on civilian cities. nukes weren't necessary for Japan either but it was faster than killing the entire population block by block

>>1083534
This argument was about whether the Korean War could be won WITHOUT nuking. Sure, nukes could've won it, but would leave Europe devastated after the Soviet response.

>>1083524
Firebomb all Chinese farmlands.
Starvation imminent.

In fact, did the Americans attack China during the Korean War?

haven't you heard? The sinking of Cheonan was done by a hidden American nuclear submarine reacting to getting fired upon.

>>1083543
>would leave Europe devastated after the Soviet response.

THEN WHY THE FUCK DIDNT WE DO IT?

>>1083539
China did not have the population density that Japan did, worse-case scenario they could have just pulled further inland as they did during WWII.

>>1083558
>Firebomb all Chinese farmland
>all Chinese farmland
Dude...

>>1083558
I believe General Mac indended to and very nearly did before he was fired. It's likely if he weren't fired, North Korea wouldn't be the shithole it is today.

>>1083581

If he had firebombed China, the USSR would have almost certainly intervened and most of the world would still be a smoldering ruin right now.

>>1083581
MacArthur wanted to nuke several Chinese cities and Vladivostok (in the USSR), and it was him that pushed too close to the Chinese border and brought them into the war. If he wasn't fired, the world would be as shitty as North Korea is today.
