It's partially South Korea's own fault they allow themselves to be held hostage like this. They have known since the armistice that fighting could resume at any time, they should never have allowed Seoul to grow to it's current size without some sort of plan to take care of the civilians in case they are attacked. The smart thing to do would be to start evacuating as many people as possible now.
I take it you've never been stationed less than 10 miles off the DMZ. I mean not like this guy hasn't threatened to nuke the US and has been shooting ballistic missiles at our direction for the last 4 years right? Oh wait, yes he has.

South Korea's fault? Hello, it was China that backed NK in the Korean war, China only outnumbers SK by about 20 to one.
Hillary was purposely trying to start a war with Russia for no reason, NK on the other hand as been shooting ICBM's in the direction of Alaska and over Japan for the last few years, but all of them failed. They will evetually get their ICBM right and put a nuke on it.

Anyway, we have one thing NK has nothing to compare, our Airforce. When I was stationed in Korea one thing we knew is that NK has basically no real air power. While they have massive artilary we have the ability to take them out from the air.

IDK... I kinda think you have to just rip the band aid off at some point. Clean up the shit hole that is North Korea. The longer we wait the worse it will be.
Or maybe there will be a North Korean revolution at some point, but it's not certain.
Good. Real Korea and Japan are our allies and NK should get a solid dick stomping for trying to advance any threats against them. We should have put a boot in their ass when they shelled that town in S.K a few years back that killed those US service members.
That's been every president since before you or I were born...
Massive. It's not even remotely massive.
China has 1.2 billion inhabitants, adding NK to that would still be smaller of an increase than an error margin.

Their missiles always fall in the ocean though, their problem with missiles is, that they aren't reliable.
Not to mention missiles are fairly easy to shoot down, especially NK ones, which don't have all the fancy tech in them.
Apart from Israel, who they attacked during various Arab-Israeli wars and regularly fired Scud missiles at during several conflicts.
And Kuwait, who they conquered until pushed out.
And Iran, who they engaged in a decade long war that resulted over a million deaths.
And Kurds, who they were committing a genocidal war of extermination against for decades.
Indeed.
China didn't move 150,000 troops at all. That was proven fake news very early on. They have around that many troops in the region at all time regardless. (By fake news I mean legit made up for either click bait ad revenue or stock market shift). I do however believe that the use of the MOAB by the US was to intimidate that manchild just in case he wants to play bombs.
