Top US General: War With North Korea ‘Could Quickly' Spill Into Continental US
2017-02-02
[Daily Caller] Were the U.S. to go to war with North Korea, there is no guarantee that it could be contained to the Korean Peninsula, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff revealed in the latest issue of Joint Forces Quarterly, a National Defense University publication.

Marine Corps Gen. Joseph Dunford asserts that a war could threaten American allies and the U.S. homeland.

"There was a time, not long ago, when we planned for a conflict that might be contained to the peninsula. But today, North Korea’s intercontinental ballistic missile, cyber, and space capabilities could quickly threaten the homeland and our allies in the Asia-Pacific region," Dunford wrote.

The North is believed to have made significant advancements in ballistic missile technology. Last year, the reclusive country conducted around two dozen ballistic missile tests.

#6  And this with our ABM cruiser Antietam broke at Yokosuka. Though I guess the missiles would work even if the ship has to be moved by tugs...

#4  More likely they will nuke Anchorage or our alaskan oil production - that would spike a fuel prices and cause a lot of economic damage.

And there's the possibility that someone like Obama would not 'retaliate' but refer it to the U.N. Especially if its only 'EVIL oil refinaries'...

#3  If the NORKS attack breakaway state California, will the U.S. be drug into the fray? I strongly recommend neutrality.
