2018-05-05 at 2:33 AM UTCChina has now deployed SAM complexes and static cruise missile batteries (largely hypersonic anti-ship) to several islands in the South China Sea.

2018-05-05 at 6:10 AM UTCKorea will never reunify. Kim will just keep throwing nuclear tantrums, to get as many concessions out of all parties involved. Rinse, repeat.

Throwing tantrums for bags of rice is getting old. The Kims are probably planning how they're going to carve up North Korea's land and industries to benefit from privatisation right now. If they do it right they could be the world's richest people. -

They've always wanted reunification, just not as a US vassal. I don't know why they think they can avoid that now
It wasn't NK that walked away from the last nuclear agreement... -

From the munitions' wreckage, it appears that they've employed GBU-39 long-range glider bombs. Given their range, they would have had to have been delivered via aircraft from within the range of the SAA's S-200 SAM sites, which is interesting because no targets were reported to have been engaged or even detected - rumour is that the US is using the constant ebb of Israel's aggression to test configuration of stealth tech for the new F35.
Nasrallah (effective head of Hezbullah) made an interesting statement the other day - up until these last two attacks, Israel has been careful not to target Iranian assets. They've attacked Hezbullah in the past but anytime the IRGC was caught in strikes they'd be careful to state that the targets were Hezbullah only and that they had no intelligence of IRGC presence.
Now, they're explicitly target Iranians for the first time since the last war - implying they're trying to ratchet up tensions again, likely leading to another war. -

Originally posted by aldra The US already did that to Korea, which is a large part of the reason they're still partitioned to this day - they don't really have any military options to subdue NK without taking massive losses anymore.
My point was unification meaning Korean unification and what the other poster said about Saying bye bye US Hello China -

Reunification under North Korean leadership no doubt. If anything best Korea should follow the Chinese model especially if Kim wants to stay in power. -

probably some kind of federation for the time being
Originally posted by MORALLY SUPERIOR BEING Apparently you yanks already have troops in Yemen, helping the Saudis starve the locals into submission.
I doubt the US will bring significant military power to Yemen, at least not until cruise missiles are landing on Riyadh. The current focus is on Israel vs Iran, and Yemen doesn't pose a credible threat to Israel. I'm curious how they'll handle Yemenis making the oil haulers' sea lanes significantly more dangerous though -

china wont allow this to happen becos the koreans are going to eat away a significant chunk of export from china.
imagine 3years into reunification, your samsungs and every korean made electronics are 1/3 cheaper their chinese rival, thanks to the slave labor toiling in samsung sweat factories in pyongyang. -
2018-05-05 at 10:16 PM UTCWhy exactly did Israel randomly start bombing shit?

Israel's fortunes aren't looking so good at the moment. Hezbullah alone, with no air support and minimal AA weaponry was able to repel the full might of the Israeli armed forces in the 2011 war, and that was just their auxilliary divisions - their best equipped and experienced units, their 'triarii' never even saw combat. At the time Hezbullah jokingly referred to the 'invincible Merkava tanks' as 'mobile cremators'.
Hezbullah is an army that doesn't fight wars the way modern doctrines want them to; they don't need or use air support and have developed ways to significantly counter it. What's more, huge numbers of them are getting significant combat experience crushing terrorists in Syria, making them a more effective force than ever before.
Iran, even being crushed by sanctions for the last 30 years or so, have managed to both massively increase their peoples' quality of life and independently develop modern weaponry such as ICBMs and drones (effective enough, though nowhere near the level of US/Russia). The lifting of sanctions scares Israel (in terms of what Iran will be able to accomplish with a functional economy), which is why they're pushing Trump so hard to break the JPOA.
When Assad wins in Syria, the 'highway to Tehran' will be open for business, essentially allowing Iranian military assets transit between Iran, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, effectively (potentially) allowing Iran to deliver heavy weapons directly to the Golan.
Also, it hasn't made many headlines but Lebanon are having their elections and Hezbullah are poised to take control given KSA's clumsy interference in the country's policy. If Hezbullah do take control, it'll be the end of Israel abusing Lebanese airspace to attack targets in Syria.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!
