How Long Would it Take?

Nuclear strike on North Korea? Crazy. The fallout will be dangerous, especially at this season. South Koreans won't allow it. Including my mom.

Nikkoru:
The United States could destroy the whole world several times over, but that's a non-issue.

A war, as they seem to be fought now, would probably take longer than anyone could tolerate, and that's all that matters.

darkjedi:
It will likely mean the death of Korean and Japanese economy for a few years. Massive assets withdrawal... The Chinese will be happy, though. They might even profit from it.

If we just bomb the crap out of the infrastructure then invite the South Koreans to take over they may again get in a huff, we'll never drop nuclear weapons due to the proximity of allies and political blowback.  Right now North Korea is being an effective buffer zone.

All the Chinese care about is stability in NE Asia and continuing their dominance in the market. They've formed a new relationship with Russia and I'm slightly concerned what that means for US trade but that's a seperate issue. If we can convince the Chinese that this will lead to long-term stability on their continent (and make sure we let them know it is THEIR continent) to have a unified Korea that's open to trade with China and a lessened US presence in Asia as a whole, they'll probably lend a hand.

what makes you think a south korean would stop the united states military from launching a nuke, you have some serious misconceptions about the capabilities of people.
