They're a threat to South Korea. For about a week.

We can hope our technology can overcome their millions of troops. I hope to never see if you are right, especially since there is about a 30% chance I would be there when it happens (since I spend about 30% of my year there).

Unfortunately, they are also a threat to the US, both militarily and economically. Thankfully there are people who understand this and do their part to prevent it. You are welcome.

I hope to never find out either, but they're not a significant threat to the US. Glad to hear you believe in your mission.

Even if your belief is true (it isn't) then they are at the very least an enormous economic threat to the US. What do you think an invasion of South Korea would do to our economy?

No doubt they would cause a ****ton of carnage early on, but yes the technology would overcome their millions


Even more quickly if we busted out the nukes

There are 48 million people in South Korea, 21 million in the area around Seoul. There are also many millions more nearby in Japan and China. Seoul, Tokyo, Shanghai and Beijing are among the largest cities in the world. Nukes would not be an option.
