Could North Korea really survive if the United States will fire on them?

[bcnaranjo]

Kim Jong-un is now initiating fights with the US by boasting its nuclear weapons and is agitating the US President Donald Trump.

Do you think, North Korea can survive if Trump will fire them, knowing that North Korea is just a very small country?

Of course not. The United States military is by far the largest in the world, and by a long, long shot. It's literally like and elephant versus a mouse.

Not only that, but who's going to be on North Korea's side, versus the United States?

North Korea is also not well run, since it's run by fear, which leads to mistake of insulting and not independent thinking. Specially for those close to Ill, who knows he would kill them for the slightest things.

It is not a very small country. The total area is close to 120,000 sq.kms, which comes to around 30 million acres. To destroy all of this area, more than 1,000 nuclear weapons needs to be used, and I don't think that the Americans have the capability to deploy that many weapons at the same time.

No NK would not survive, the problem is the collateral damage to the region. Seoul and its metropolitan area with millions of people are in range of the old artillery of NK. Hours of conventional artillery fire on that region can hardly be avoided in a case of war. Besides that nobody has a real intrest in fighting this war, there is nothing to gain from it and the costs of a unification would be horrendous for South Korea. It would be exponentially higher that what the German unification cost was because the inequality between the 2 countries are much higher than compared to Germany in the late 80s.

North Korea will not survive if the US will fight against them. We all know that America is a strong a powerful country. They are rich in technology and weapon. North Korea also have this weapon but not powerful like what America have. So if America bombed and release nuclear missile to north Korea, they will not survive because north Korea is just a small country.

To the Americans won the war against North Korea they don't need 1,000 missiles. It will be enough to destroy all launchers Kim and to destroy the infrastructure of their service. It's not so much rockets as it seems. But the Infestation can be on a large area.

1000 nuclear bombs would produce a nuclear winter for some years and kill pretty much all living organisms on the world.
Not even talkking about the fallout.

[zedkiel08]

i think north korea will not fight the united states of america , even if kim yong joon said that he will fire missiles to guam , once north korea fire missiles to guam , the united states of america will eventually fires back north korea , and i think if the USA fires on them , they will never stopped until kim jong yoon will die and north korea will fall.

Putin: North Korea Doesn't Have Nuclear Weapons,
It Has Trillions in Minerals

Russian President Vladimir Putin has blown the whistle on the real reason that the world is on the brink of all-out nuclear war. According to Mr. Putin, the story being pushed in the mainstream media that North Korea has nuclear weapons is a complete fabrication designed convince the public that the hermit nation is a global threat. "[North Korea] don't have any nuclear weapons. This is a lie being forced on the people by the corporate-owned Western media", said Putin during an emotionally charged Q&A session in Sochi. "They know they can easily provoke the North Koreans and they will react, but the story that they are a threat is false." "I will tell you the facts about North Korea: They don't have nuclear bombs. They don't have Western-controlled banks. They don't depend on the US dollar. What they do have is a land full of wealth in unmined minerals." According to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, President Putin has "had some time away to reflect" on the US-North Korean conflict and believes that the situation has "gone too far".

USA should first convince South Korea, Japan, China and Russia before going on any warfare in the peninsula. If USA fired on North Korea than China and Russia would come to its defense.

And how the Americans are going to locate all the nuclear ICBM launchers? They even don't know how many nukes are there in the North Korean possession. Even if they could destroy 50% of the launchers, the DPRK could use the rest to destroy all the major cities within the mainland United States.

A more interesting question might be, can the world really survive if the United States fired upon North Korea? It would likely set off a runway train that would be hard to get back under control. What happens when the nuclear winds spread into China? Or the conventional weapons wreaking havoc on South Korea before they can be destroyed? How many nukes would the USA want to use, one on Pyongyang or many spread across the country? There are too many variables, but millions of people would die. Unfortunately North Korea seems intent on suicide.

[Mike Christ]

North Korea would crumble on itself without mountains of support from actually profitable nations.  They wouldn't stand a chance against the full might of the US, not any more than a sick child stands a chance against a roided young Mike Tyson.  Only thing they might be useful for is as a martyr for China & Russia to have an excuse to retaliate.  North Korea is not a threat to anyone, let alone the US, if not a threat to themselves.

haha, North Korea is just provoking Americans, especially trump is being provoked by kim jong... its like in elementary school, that's the level of behaving two of them

It goes both ways. The North Koreans are provoking the Americans by conducting new nuclear and missile tests, while the Americans are provoking the North Koreans by conducting military exercises so close to the maritime borders of North Korea. As long as these remain as provocations, I simply don't care. But they should not step over the line.

North korean overpower baby.

Better dont fuck around with little kim 

Except you are the US then you can send in seth rogen and james franco.

They can't survive an attack with massive use of tomahawks and bombardment with planes. Can they strike back ? Yes they can strike against US soldiers in South Korea and maybe Japan. They can even shoot some US jets because they have lot of anti air systems and missiles, and some are similar to S-300.

[Risktaker31]

Well I think the north korea can't withstand the attacks of Usa they are far more powerful than North Korea even though North korea have nuke they can only destroy one state or two if the will attack using them. But if Usa try to attack them all at once North Korea will perish in the face of the earth.

[Beerwizzard]

They will be totaly destroyed if they try 1v1 against US but for example if they get any deffence systems from russia (it was alreany proven that they used russian parts in their weapons) they can survive for some time.

Not just the American bases in Japan and South Korea, but almost all of the mainland US is within the range of North Korean ICBMs. Imagine the scenario in which the DPRK launches 50 nuclear ICBMs against the Americans. Even if just two or three of them reaches the intended target, they can cause death and destruction to millions of people.
