Best Korea and Dear Leader's Howitzers

You know, I think the professional military men are absolutely terrified of any chance of war. I don't see a military coup toppling the Jong-Il being too far out of the range of possibility if it seems China will actually be on the side of South Korea.
FWIW (not much), that's how NK ends in the Tom Clancy novels.
Again, not surprising. Bad for Pyongyang (well, the leadership there), yes, but not surprising. China's behavior for the last few years has been indicative of this.
Fuck, that rules out the coup option. Once again, Clancy makes the world just a little bit worse whilst selling popular books.
It might also wind up being the defining event of the first Obama term, for good or bad.
GT: batshido Hit me up on ME3.
From what I've been reading, the big wigs of the NK military is pretty pissed off with the possibility of KJU inheriting leadership of NK. They probably also hate the fact that KJU was recently made a 4 star general with absolutely no military experience.
According to Al-Jazeera articles I've been reading, Kim & son apparently visited the artillery battery in question a few hours before it fired at the South Korean island. A lot of experts speculate this was an attempt to promote KJU as a worthy successor capable of fending off the "treacherous" South Koreans, by making a scenario where KJU orders an artillery attack on South korean soil.
Pyongyang is burning and Kim Jong's are shooting artillery.
Sounds like a perfectly logical way to convince the command structure Jong-un deserves that promotion.
The only sensible option is for obama to pre-emptively nuke Alaska, just to keep them off kilter
Nobody can out crazy Dear Leader! Not even his own son...

Considering the only reason we are in South Korea is because of North Korea, if NK went away, I can't see there being any reason at all for us to have a base there anymore.
The forces in Korea are there just to make sure the US gets involved in any action. You also have forces in Australia and Japan - no one's going to be launching a land invasion from Korea, and in a practical sense, any war with China won't need one anyway.
Isn't that the same with pretty much all our international military bases? It's not like one military base will be enough to fight a war- they just they're to show our intent, and maybe launch some airstrikes from there if necessary. Also it's probably much easier to incrase an existing base than start a new one, if push comes to shove.
That's always been my interpretation. The major point is basically "no US forces on the Chinese border" would be easy. If action against China was ever needed it's much more likely the bombers would fly from Japan. Or you know, just be missiles launched from Utah.
could be all 'hey look we're leaving isn't that nice of us' but not really
