They have gone heavily after the AA systems all over the front in preparation for the F-16s arriving. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
That's because I'm from Russia) And I've never hid it. I'm speaking about russian army like about "ours", as you can see. Volgograd city, to be more precise.

Maybe NK is probing for weakness by ordering their soldiers to cross border to see SK's reaction which is hell of a lot better than when NK soldiers killed US and SK soldiers pruning trees in 1976.

The North is provokkng the South I think something dire is happening in the north. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
There have been some articles suggesting that NK is going to ramp up provocations in the lead up to the 2024 US elections to help Trump get elected. Seems like something they'd strategize on given Trump's summit with Kim. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
They still could. Perhaps they get lucky and the political and civil instability of the US works in their favor this upcoming election. I called it an opportunity because it is plausible, even if unlikely. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
The problem here is china's lack of fleet projection and it's dependence on outside resources. The USA will simply block the straits of mallaca and other key points and all of china's resources will dry up.
Even to cross the strait, it's not clear the chinese have enough. The USA and Taiwan will probably copy mass drone warfare (similar to the Ukrainians have done) on a never before seen scale. The Chinese navy will probably be even more vulnerable to this approach then the Russian one. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Mainland Taiwan is most definitely not the goal. They'll probably bum rush keelung or something | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
People! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
NK's just trying on its big Boi pants. It's dealings with Russia have emboldened them into thinking they're on the world stage again. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

I agree. China’s military doesn’t have the war experience like the United States does. While they try and look scary I don’t think they will actually do what they say they will do to Taiwan. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Wtf are you talking about? Have you seen their massive military exercises with medical equipment and everything? Why are they hauling medical equipment? The US government does not have such a laid back attitude about this as you do | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
This is genocide | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I’m sure this can’t escalate or anything | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
No, because it's not just the US involved here. Japan, Philippines, Taiwan itself, Australia. It's literally not plausible lol. There is a reason China is building their nuclear arsenal to 700-1000+ by 2030 and it's to deter the USAs involvement because they have already done the math and recognized that they don't have enough in any branch of military. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I don't have a laid back attitude at all, I believe it's more likely to happen then not. It's just certainly not going to happen in 2024 under a Biden presidency when they know internally that they are not prepared. Towards the end of a potential Trump presidency when the US is internally in chaos? Sure, I could see it.
There is also the X factor of the Ukraine war. China has not actually really "chosen" a side yet. They are clearly on the Russian side but they are toeing the line of actual support. A Russian victory or forward movement might embolden China as the West appears weak. Certainly not right now though.
I don't care about them hauling medical equipment. Whatever you think that means in this capacity, it doesn't. The troop concentrations are no where near where they would need to be and we're talking months of ramp up to get there. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
> This will open things up for China to invade Taiwan
If NK attacks, they are toppled in days. This opens the asshole of the DPRK leadership and nothing else. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
They are incapable of transferring the manpower to invade. That and their about to hit a huge age demographic change with their population getting older.
A war would decimate the youth generation that's already in decline. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
China will pull support completely if NK sets off a nuke. Kim Jeong Un isn't stupid, he knows this. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I thought about responding honestly to you again, but I don’t really have the capacity to anymore given how pretentious your tone continues to be “lol”.

I mean it's literally just all over the place, studied in depth and in quality publications. I'm sorry I'm not in peak debate form at 1:30 am to not sound pretentious. I have no idea if I'm like this in real life, probably, but I've always had no difficulties having indepth conversations. I'm just not in a mood for people who come onto subs to fear monger as if war is on our doorsteps and a foregone conclusion.

I agree with you. I think we're staring down the barrel of WWIII, and we've missed the exit quite a ways back. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
There is no way China would let North Korea fall without a fight just like the Korean War. So there’s at least that minimum. Then any other country that wants to take advantage of chaos to grab territory jumps in and it’s a domino effect really. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I don't think they are talking about cooperation but rather about the west being split up and distracted. Some people think they would use the chaos. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
True, we'll see. At any rate they still built that genius dam which will be the exhaust port for their death Star. It is such a critical point that they can't really risk open war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
It's possible we're already in WW3 - keep in mind that in WW2, Japan invaded China in 1937 while Germany invaded Austria and Czechoslovakia prior to trying the same shit with Poland in 1939. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I live in SK. No one is talking about this or even cares. More people are worried about the impending heat wave this week. Reddit’s arm chair generals love to make assumptions every time something happens with NK. The poop filled balloons have been making news, but it’s closely tied to SK starting to play messages over loud speakers again at the DMZ and NK defectors sending propaganda balloons over to NK. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I mean, aren't the baltics and all that ramping up their military to an insane degree, sending hundreds of tanks and artillery to the borders aimed at Russia? I remember reading that hundreds of thousands of NATO troops are on the border already, stationed and ready for anything. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
>Reddit has this fantasy of world war just happening in an instant with every major world power going to war overnight but it’s not realistic.
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late. People were denying WW2 would happen even as Germany gobbled up Austria and Czechoslovakia. People denied Russia would invade Ukraine at all. Truth is, you don't know what will happen.
What I see is a new axis forming, one that's pretty clearly made up of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, and Venezuela, with India being the Francoist Spain of today (that is, supposedly neutral but actually helping the enemy bloc). You don't think it's suspicious? How all the pieces seem to be falling in place? Russia invades Ukraine and wages a brutal war for 2 years and ongoing, Venezuela keeps telling everyone how they might invade Guyana, Iran seems to be itching for a fight with Israel, China doing more military drills near Taiwan than ever before, and now North Korean troops literally crossing the armistice line.
The plan seems pretty clear: start all these wars at once to stretch U.S. resources thin. You mistake our acknowledgement of the obvious as some kind of hard on for war. We don't want war, but it's clear as day what's going on. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
That's the same thought Russia had going into Ukraine. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
If that’s how it plays out, US will let Israel decimate the Middle East, Europe & maybe Canada will aid Ukraine against Russia & the US will aid Taiwan & SK against china with Japan & other Asian allies is my guess | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Kim does not have the capabilities to wipe SK out of existence
North Korean nukes aren't this powerful, nor this plentiful. Furthermore, before you bring up how many artillery pieces they have, let me point out how poorly their shells re performing for the Russians in Ukraine and how any time they've fire artillery at a serious target they have to completely saturate an area to hit anything
So in essence they get one, maybe two shots, to do as much damage as possible before counter artillery and several metric boatloads of next generation fighter jets put North Korea back into the stone age
Seoul would likely be heavily damaged by otherwise South Korea would likely rebuild with only minimal issue | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

My guess is that China would actually invade NK before anyone else can, depose the Kim's, and install their own relacement puppet, and assert to the world that they resolved the conflict. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Yeah like soldiers of a hostile neighbor that you technically never stopped being at war with “briefly” crossing into your territory sounds like “target practice” to me.

Ammunition has expiry dates. Would be my guess. Get rid of old stuff in the hopes/exchange to get russian gear in the long run. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
But in the case of Ukraine we saw a Russian troop buildup beforehand, we would see massive preparations for an invasion of Taiwan that everyone would see coming. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Cubans also live in Cuba, nice weather, good music, dancing and drinking rum. They are poor, but they have it good, NK is a nightmare that never ends. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
There’s optimistic and then there’s delusional which this is. They’re not telling the world they have nukes, they detonated them, several times. They’re not just telling the world they have ICBMs capable of reaching the US mainland, they’ve launched them demonstrating the range and analysis indicates they could cary multiple warheads. They’ve successfully launched reconnaissance satellite into low earth orbit. Given the transfer of Russian technology to DPRK in return for artillery shells and rockets for the Russian war effort I would expect those capabilities to mature even further. Their space program has already switched to developing more efficient LOX-kerosene engines which indicate they don’t need to dual use research between their ballistic missile and space program and can instead afford to increase launch efficiency despite that tech not being practical to military use. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Oof the irony is thick with this comment | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Sure. So when do you think the fight will be here? A month or two? I mean, the new Axis is here, it should be any day now and not some amazingly ambiguous prediction, right? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
True, but we're seeing an unusual amount of military drills around Taiwan. Seems like the buildup to the buildup. Remember that the Russian buildup near Ukraine's border started small and slowly built up over a year prior to 24 Feb 2022. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Oh God, in what realty does North Korea have the ability to hit "all US bases in the region"
This is **severely* underestimating the US capability to defend itself abroad, and an *incredible* overestimating of North Korean abilities. I'm not joining in saying North Korea could be toppled in a few days but to think they could even strike *half* of the US bases in the region is still vastly overestimating NK capabilities | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Why are you so retarted? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
The difference is North Korea was being supplied by China which the US couldn't strike into. (Hence MacArthur's plan to drop 50 nukes on the Chinese border to prevent them from sending any more supplies)
Modern China has no reason throw away their economy to support another country's land grab. If anything they'd use their lack of support to force NK to stand down so they can keep it as a buffer between them and US bases in South Korea. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
lol ok. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

Your point is valid, except Seoul is fully in range of that artillery. They're not going to miss when their target is an entire city of 10 million people. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
It would be very stupid for north Korea to do that... But when has that stopped anybody | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Well aren’t you an expert.. look I never agree with underestimating enemies but my point stands. A good defense is a good offense and vice versa.. what I mean is North Korea could show off their offensive capabilities all day everyday but in the event they jump bad, they’re done. If they can launch a nuke and it works it better be their first attack is all I’m saying because if they wait they’re not using it at all. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

US will never have 40m troops available, unless mainland US is attacked. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Sure, if North Korea could wipe out the 193 bases located in South Korea and Japan with over 75,000 soldiers in one blow they might stand a chance.
And China is much less likely to pump in a quarter million troops and billions of dollars of equipment into Korea today. Back then they were fighting to spread Communism and keep the US off their border, now they don't really care about Communism and already have a buffer between themselves and the US bases in the South. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

The US response involved helicopters, fighter jets, B-52 bombers circling in the air, and hundreds of infantry all watching as US and South Koreans cut the tree down as North Korean soldiers watched in silence,
An intelligence analyst monitoring the North Korean radio channels reported that the show of force "blew their fucking minds".
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean\_axe\_murder\_incident#Operation\_Paul\_Bunyan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_axe_murder_incident#Operation_Paul_Bunyan) | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
No one ever said it's happening any day now. China would probably do it in 2026 or 2027, which is when they're estimated to finish their military modernization program. The Russo-Ukrainian war is predicted to last at least 3 more years, so the numbers add up. They're waiting to see what they can learn from that war.
As for Venezuela and Guyana, my prediction is that it will take place a few months after this year's election. It'll be a sham election as usual, candidates and dissidents will be disqualified and locked up, and then Venezuela invades Guyana to stir up nationalistic sentiment and distract the population (Venezuela's claims to Guyana have to do with an old territorial treaty from the colonial era and also supposedly fighting against U.S. oil interests).
I can't really predict NK vs. SK or Iran vs. Israel. I think the two Koreas fighting is the least likely, whereas I can see Iran and Israel having a naval war in the Red Sea or Gulf of Aden depending on how the Gaza war ends.
A lot of things can happen. But if you asked me to make the most conservative prediction: I would say China invades Taiwan, Venezuela invades Guyana, but Korea stays at peace and Israel and Iran resort to occasionally firing pot shots at each other. China invading Taiwan makes the most sense because it would severely affect U.S. trade and chips for military tech, and it spreads U.S. resources thin as the U.S. is still focusing on Ukraine. People like to think China and Russia aren't on good terms or something, but China literally asked Russia to wait until after the Beijing Olympics before invading Ukraine. These two countries are fully cooperating when it comes to war, China even sends mercenaries and equipment to the Russians. So China invading Taiwan and taking away U.S. resources from Ukraine makes sense from their perspective. It's just basic military strategy, same thing happened in WW2: Stalin asked the Western Allies to invade Germany from the west to force Germany to move it's resources from the eastern front. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
People thought Ukrainie would fall fast too | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
That also has been going on for a while now. They also keep doing air shows and drills where their planes keep entering the Taiwanese air space as a show of power.
China also has ramped up the number of fighter jets at the border they share against India since just like Taiwan they also claim a lot of Indian territory. But that doesn't mean they're preparing for a war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I believe I read and have seen that Taiwan can only be invaded during certain times of the year due to the ocean surrounding Taiwan. It’s prone to weather events that make invasions not viable. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I don’t think North Korea starts with nukes and I think China intervenes before that point. But it could end with nukes. Idk what your point is about the US? China wants a buffer state plain and simple. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |

NK attacking SK will not "open things up" for a naval invasion.
Russia also cannot ramp up their invasion, they don't have excess capacity to do so. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
North Korea let their invasion intentions be known as soon as they abandoned the "peaceful reunification" idea and listed South Korea as it's primary enemy. Hope everyone is ready, WWIII is within sight and set to kick off well within the decade. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Pull up right now bitches | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Considering NK only succeeded in the Korean War due to direct support from Chinese military forces, it would have the same effect that they would hope for of thinning out NATO forces for themselves.
SK has not been sitting idle and stagnant since then, they most certainly have plans for their own counter-offensive and are ready to fight back with minimal support if needed. And *if* China and NK were to jump into their own invasions and draw NATO in, then Russia would suddenly be facing the *actual* forces behind NATO instead of surplus equipment send to Ukraine.
None of those forces *really* want the US military pointed their way. That is why they keep using proxy groups to antagonize, to very limited results. The US military is being kept on a leash, and the provocative forces want that leash to stay held. We have fucking *sword missiles* to selectivity eliminate VIP targets without collateral damage, as well as the largest navy and air force by magnitudes. We wouldn't need to send in ground troops to assert control over a region once the clear is given to use the full armament.
And as much talk as they make, Russia and China would rather keep that from happening. Russia more so than ever before would rather not have direct US military intervention at this stage of the war. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Except we are already holding off Russia without a single NATO troop, have militarized SK to the point that they will annihilate the north (though they will have big casualties on the border), have made Taiwan the most defensible island on earth, and have given Israel the weapons necessary to defend themselves from Iran.
NATO/the west isn't even close to spread thin, we aren't even in war mode yet. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
Plus the response was to them killing 2 American soldiers, not just a poplar tree. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
NK attacking SK won't be a war, it won't even be a distraction, it will just be a humanitarian tragedy for both sides. Seoul will be shelled, possibly nuked, and then NK will be bombed so badly Dresden will look like a game of kiss chase. In one day millions will die, and the west will barely even notice a drop in their munitions reserves. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
We get signal | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
I agree with you, but China has *wanted* to invade Taiwan for decades. They absolutely have the plans ready to go, they know exactly how and when they would do it.
It doesn't need to be next week. If China is emboldened to take action in six months or a year that's also bad. That would depend heavily on how things progress. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-11-06 |
