or the US without provocation, as Perry of politico in 17 and Wagstaff of the week in 13 explain North Korea is not normally crazy enough to strike first, and is only using its nuclear weapons to gain concessions from others. However, Anti-missile systems provoke North Korea and increase the risk of a Kim first strike. Of a US Preemptive Strike enabled from THAAD: Weigh this scenario above all else, as this is the most likely scenario because Everything’s in place for a conventional Preemptive strike from the US to occur. Trump is calling for one, Mattis is calling for one, Dunford is calling for a conventional preemptive strike, all because they view North Korea’s nuclearization as “unimaginable”-That’s Bodeen. The only thing missing is the US having a perceived safety net from a counterstrike. Gomez tells you THAAD is that safety net. But in response to the conventional preemptive strike, Miere tells you clearly north korea would retaliate by striking Seoul. Boxed in Krustalev tell you North Korea views THAAD as offensive, they feel boxed in; the only thing they’ve done when feeling boxed in is retaliate. THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM Acceleration without AMS; KRustalev tells you is that their acceleration is in the name of trying to circumvent thaad. This materializes via This strike will materialize via Artillery strikes on South Korea Which mizokami states could kill 1 million south Koreans. But the only time when North korea feels the need to develop and strike via artillery is to circumvent THAAD’s deployment-that’s what Reif tells you from case Even if you buy that missile defense can somehow shoot down these other measures, Remember madjumar and reif-even if a single launch takes place for any reason, the US would release a devastating response, causing a huge war involving South Korea.
