It would be much, much worse.</b><br /><br />The experts I spoke to all stressed that Kim could devastate Seoul without even needing to use his weapons of mass destruction. The North Korean military has an enormous number of rocket launchers and artillery pieces within range of Seoul. The nonpartisan Congressional Research Service estimates that Kim could hammer the South Korean capital with an astonishing 10,000 rockets per minute — and that such a barrage could kill more than 300,000 South Koreans in the opening days of the conflict. That’s all without using a single nuclear, chemical, or biological weapon.</i><br /><br />source: <a href="https://www.vox.com/world/2018/2/7/16974772/north-korea-war-trump-kim-nuclear-weapon" rel="nofollow">Here’s what war with North Korea would look like</a><br /><br />Incidentally, Iran is using the same strategy as North Korea to deter an attack by the US, threatening both Saudi Arabia and Israel.<br /><br /><i>Iran’s military strategy toward Israel can be summed up in four words: “A ring of fire”. The term refers to the efforts of Iran to expand its precision guided missile project throughout the Middle East in order to build , “… a ring of fire around the State of Israel.”<br /><br />The phrase was coined by Major General (res.) Yaakov Amidror, the former head of the Research Division of Israeli Military Intelligence. Today, he is a Senior Fellow at the Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security.<br /><br />In an important speech given a year ago, Amidror explained, “The first element is Hezbollah in Lebanon, the second element is the independent Iranian war machine in Syria which will be connected to tens of thousands of Shiite militia members located in Syria or Lebanon, or both, and a land corridor going from Iran through Iraq into Syrian and Lebanon.”<br /><br />In Lebanon, Iran has already succeeded in supplying its loyal proxy Hezbollah with a massive arsenal of more than 130,000 rockets. Over the past several years, Iran has been working to upgrade these rockets into precision guided missiles.</i><br /><br />source: <a href="https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/irans-ring-of-fire-a-growing-threat-to-israel/" rel="nofollow">Iran’s ‘Ring of Fire’: A Growing Threat to Israel</a><br /><br /><br />"We would retaliate everywhere." —Iranian official (think missiles against Saudi oil installations and water desalination plants here.)<br /><br />"If Iran is attacked, I would do my duty." —Hassan Nasrallah (Hezbollah) in a recent interview.Ahmed Fareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07105255828394485657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-71351532732044201532021-04-17T17:00:56.657-04:002021-04-17T17:00:56.657-04:00Well, nukes are great deterrence to invasion as No...<i>Well, nukes are great deterrence to invasion as North Korea proves.</i><br /><br />Ukraine signed the non-proliferation treaty.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-50400187405976503792021-04-17T15:47:34.827-04:002021-04-17T15:47:34.827-04:00Well, nukes are great deterrence to invasion as No...Well, nukes are great deterrence to invasion as North Korea proves.Andrew Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14296407661618321637noreply@blogger.com
