One thing no-one's opined on so far, is what the plan might be after a conventional US strike.
A few days of carnage as Seoul's northern suburbs are shelled.
Perhaps a successful ballistic missile or three launched at other SK cities, or Japan, or Guam.
Tens of thousands dead.
Before the North's army is laregly obliterated and Kim and team taken out.
And then...
Mass refugee exodus to China?
Would the US and SK occupy the North - particularly after the disaster of Iraq?
Would there be any appetite from SK to re-unify?
Would the Chinese invade to stop them?
Presumably Putin wouldn't want a bar of the issue...
