ok, reposting from downstairs cause y’all just left me there
(dinner was yum)
just want to point out the over obvious, if we really do get past diplomacy being a solution:
if NK shoots something toward guam, depending on what it is, we dont *have* to retaliate with nukes
if somehow we’re ‘provoked’/forced into a ‘first strike’ or ‘warning’ maneuver - ie NK hasnt actually shot anything off, we dont necessarily have to use nukes there either
this doesnt mean they wouldnt respond nuclear. and still it doesnt consider what would happen re South Korea etc and all the conventional weapons amassed on the border
just that ‘we’ can/could drop/send/deliver lots of different things, and mass quantities, that arent nuclear
