Red State: At Least Eight Reasons Why The Talk Of North Korea Leveling Seoul Is Simply Wrong
War is destruction and death. It’s serious business. So the facts should be taken seriously and measured accurately.
I’ve touched on this subject in the comments several times in the past here at RedState, but have put off writing about it because I’ve discovered there is an inverse relationship to how long it takes me to write a story and the interest it gets.

One thing America has and NK hasn't: "eyes". And that's a game changer. First, if NK want to attack SK they need to make a big move of their forces to do so, and our eyes will see it.

Jac, NK knows it, but does not understand it.
My the best general win
