Massive artillery barrage on Seoul, funneled troops including SOF push south, potential nuclear ICBM launches on Seoul, Tokyo, Pusan, US west coast. We know where they have some toys but not all of the chest, let me put it that way. 30 to 40,000 KIA within the first two hours. Guaranteed NK retaliation via the methods above and maybe chem/bio launches, insurgency. Bad stuff Higgins but the US and SK would win it in the end.

NK says it will never give up its nukes and missiles, Tillerson trying to press NK in all of its regional neighbor nations. I read yest that the US won't directly talk to NK yet (even though we met with them at ASEAN but avoided looking like they were having sustained contact) so there's that aspect as well.

NK is backed into a corner on this one, if they jump it may be another test, maybe nuclear or another ICBM test. Waiting game continues.

I'm going to post this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WyrYBrOC1o

Note this gives a good conventional wargaming scenario based on assets, responses, etc. but doesn't include some aspects that may be relevant such as C/B considerations or nuclear launches by NK.

To Higgins point, it wouldn't be with chem, but it would be via SK SOF taking point on that. Cora is right in the demographics side, white/black/Hispanic SOF, etc. would stick out like a sore thumb. NK is 99% Korean.

Do we have any stocks of Napalm left?

We can use Napalm B if needed. Obama signed a treaty against it but it states that it can be ignored if its use would save civilian lives, easy loophole to go through for usage. You don't really need to use it that much with advanced laser and satellite guided munitions but it can still be used for foliage, anti-personnel. I doubt we would employ it against NK.
