If N. Korea launched a missle at us, would you fire back?

Question

Lets just say you are the prez...and Wack-o Kim over there in N.K. fires off a couple of missles at us. Sure they'll probably crash into the Pacific. But would you send a couple of nukes his way in retailiation?

Answer 1

Well they should know that their actions have registered. I can't fire anything but your US Army sure could. Preferably not bee bee guns.

Answer 2

Fire off a couple of nukes at them.......no way. We have friends in the area that could be affected by the fall out. Dropping enough napalm to start a few dozen fire storms in their agricultural areas would be the way to go. It's been to long since their government has shown a re-run of "How to cook grass so that it is edible."

One of the first things I would do though is to sink the U.S.S Pueblo. Well not just sink it, time it so that about six cruise missiles hit it at the same time.

Answer 3

No, because Kim Jong Il is just whacko enough to not care if his people get nuked. He assuredly has a contingency plan in the event of a retaliatory strike to protect his closest advisors and himself.

The best reaction is to simply use our missile defense system to intercept the Taepodong (how could I refuse mentioning the stupid missile name) over international waters. It would probably be seen as an offensive by N.K., but not by the rest of the world.

Answer 4

Nope. They neglected me. in the adventure that they fireplace an ICBM, they are going to nonetheless omit me. they might hit a Russian Orthodox church interior the Aleutian Islands, and they might hit Hawaii, yet not with a nuclear bomb. So some unlucky turd would get snuffed by using a falling dud missile, i do not care a lot. purely about 100,000 people die daily around the realm, and the Aleutians and Hawaii have had an excellent style of time to consider the moderate hazard. If all of us receives killed by using a dprk icbm, it would fantastically a lot be an twist of destiny. it would might want to hit someone right away reason they gained't placed even a commonly used warhead on it. And hitting someone right away with an ICBM is unquestionably an twist of destiny, you won't be able to do this on purpose.

Answer 5

If N. Korea launched a missle with a nuclear warhead attached, It would be detected by sophisticated satellites. The missle would be destroyed on the launch pad before it was allowed to lift off. If they launched test missles with little nefarious intent I would not likely respond with a missle strike.

Answer 6

a total non-nuclear strike would be preferred, an american marine/ japanese invasion by sea supported by us army and south korea overland accross 38th parallel. the naval op would not be precluded by air strike, the overland route would have about 1 week to 1 month of bombing. half way through the land air campaign, the sea invasion would occur, taking 75% of the airpower of all nations to support it allong with the naval forces in sea of japan bombarding in support of the sea-invasion. steal bombers would be used from west coast america, b52 from japan and maybe Okinawa, as well as some little island S Se of the koreas that i think is there. be prepared for chinese hostility and russian/european anger. war with north korea Vs the above coalition would be a 100% guaranteed victory for coalition, usa vs NK or usa/SK vs NK would be about a 75%. (of course the americans in all situations would pack up and go home after the first 50 casualties.
(I know a lot about this sort of thing, this is the standard American plan modified to suit my personal talents and preferences)

Answer 7

heck yeah! the only way they will learn is the same way we taught Japan not to f*** with us, instead on a larger scale who gives a **** about all the civilians, it would probably do them all a favor. so lets turn that country into a sheet of glass! then we still have to worry about those nut jobs in Iran.

Answer 8

Considering the fact that North Korea are not heeding to the advise of not using nuclear missiles, I would definately fire back. Not to harm but just to warn them that they can be easy targets of our missile.

Answer 9

nah, because if play it smart and we don't fight back we would get more allies.The other countries will turn on Korea because of their actions, I'm sure that's what Korea wants us to do fight back, so there can be a world war or something...the fear of us having many countries on our side should send enough fear in N Korea.

Answer 10

Actually I'd like to fire one (or several) off now, before they do anything else.
