Tillerson: Our army is ready for a military conflict with North Korea

US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said that the United States is ready for a military conflict with North Korea. According to the head of the US Department of State, President Trump considers “all possibilities” and “takes into account the option of a military conflict if something goes wrong.”

Tillerson:

The President made it clear that we are now in a state of military readiness. Our army is ready for this.

Further, Tillerson commented on a previously received proposal from Russia and China, providing for the option of reducing the degree of tension around the Korean issue. Recall that Moscow and Beijing have developed a joint de-escalation program. It lies in the fact that North Korea and the United States go for mutual measures to relieve tensions. Thus, the DPRK refuses nuclear missile tests, while the United States at the same time cancels military exercises (joint with South Korea) at the borders of the DPRK.

According to the head of the State Department, the United States is not interested in double freezing.

Tillerson:

We are not going to somehow weaken the sanctions regime. We are not ready to consider the delivery of humanitarian aid as a condition for negotiations.

In other words, the United States does not intend to abandon the escalation of the conflict, and this is said by the person whose position initially involves finding diplomatic solutions to get out of any conflict. The whole question is whether there are any diplomats left in the USA today ...

Tillerson may be ready to fight, and the Seoul residents in the zone of shelling long-range artillery of the DPRK are ready to die. I'm not talking about S. Korean missiles, they will not be knocked down, the question is. And artillery will definitely turn 10 million Seoul into a mess of blood, concrete and fire

It seems crazy, but if anyone remembers history, ALL of Korea as a whole, almost became part of the Russian Empire in the 19th century.

1. The total population of the DPRK is 25,37 million (2016).
2. DPRK population structure
0-14 years: 22,4%
15-64 years: 68,6%
65 years and older: 9,1%
3. The potential number of military personnel is 68,6% of the DPRK population.
4. Negative - sick, prisoners, armored (military production, energy, transport, medicine, nursing mothers, etc.).
The result is less than 50% of the DPRK population; there are 12 million people.
And compare with the United States - 323,1 million (total 2016), or 1,9 million peacetime armed forces.
PS The strength of the DPRK peacetime armed forces is 1,2 million.

[Sergey53]

How will they fight? Remember the arrest of a boat by IRANS with US special forces on board, kneeling, and with tears in their eyes. And the comments, in my Secretary of State, "the Iranians didn’t act humanely towards their special forces, putting them on their knees, thereby humiliating their human dignity in the eyes of the world community."

army ready for military conflict with North Korea

Americans are always "ready." Only then they transfer this conflict onto the shoulders of others, and themselves, having suffered significant losses, either sit back or flee the country they invaded.

The Yankees are stupidly convinced that if the ocean separates them from North Korea, they are invulnerable, and can easily win the war that is now being prepared with might and main against North Korea.

The fact that the victims in the same Seoul will be considerable - no one doubts. As for the fact that North Korean artillery will turn Seoul into a mess of blood, concrete and fire, one should not believe everything they write. The size of the conglomeration of Seoul is about 60 x 90 km. Most of the long-range artillery will not reach the center of Seoul. Although the victims will certainly be ...

Of course. And some people think that the Americans will immediately throw their soldiers there? Buy a lip-cutting machine.

And as cannon fodder, the northerners know the atmosphere and mentality an order of magnitude better than the same Americans and Japanese

They already walked. And during the war in Korea, and in Vietnam, and in Iraq and Afghanistan? So what? Multi-million protests, unlimited strikes, demands for the resignation of the president? Something I don’t recall. Although our media have always liked to show antiwar actions in the USA. 10 people will gather in a 5000 million city for such a protest rally. Have a meeting, shout and just let off steam? What, did these meetings give at least one positive effect if the state itself did not take a decision to remove someone from a country?
And about the "transgender people" ... I think that their number is too exaggerated by theirs and our media. If desired, and in our armed forces you can find if not trance, then gay. And what, we will draw some thoughtful conclusions from this? As for the refusal of the "trances," as you say, to die .... In the combat zone, two or three such refuseniks will be shot before the formation, and how cute they will fight and die, if necessary.

"No, everything is correct. The document is drawn up correctly, but" (c)
With numbers, everything seems to be clear. The question is different. Take the same category of 15-64 year. (we will not consider other 0-14 and over 65). To assume that the potential number of the military is 12 million is not entirely correct. They will not go into the army, At least by age. Structures existing in the DPRK, such as the People’s Red Guard, the Youth Red Guard, etc., can in most cases carry out either police functions or the functions of territorial defense troops. And therefore, their weapons are not the same as in the army. If it’s armor, then these are obsolete tanks of the T-34, T-54 type, if artillery - then artillery, at best, during the Korean War, or even from the Second World War. MLRS also at the level of Katyushas on tractor semi-trailers. This is not a situation where quantity goes into quality. Again, how combat-ready can a “conscript 55-60-65 years old” be? Fit for non-combatant wartime? One cannot compare, for example, a fighter at the age of 24 years and 64 years.

In short, directories evaluate the country's capabilities as an armed force and mobresource somewhat differently.
DPRK Armed Forces - about 1 people. Including Ground forces - 190; Navy - 000; Air Force - 1.
In addition to these army units, there are also paramilitary groups totaling about 189 people (these are troops of the Ministry of Public Security - 000, troops of the Ministry of Security - 15, border troops, etc.)
The reserve of the armed forces is about 600 people.

In addition to the armed forces, there is also the so-called. paramilitaries (militia, one might say) with a total number of about 5,7 million people. These units include
• Workers 'and Peasants' Red Guards - numbering from 1,4 to 3,8 million people,
• Youth Red Guard - from 0,7 to 1 million people,
• People’s security units - up to 100 people.

DPRK mobilization resources - about 6,2 million people, of which about 4,7 million people are mobile reserves (3,7 million fit for military service

Republic of Korea Armed Forces - about 630 people, including 000 Army, 495 Fleet, 000 Air Force). The paramilitary formations of the Republic of the South Caucasus (border troops, etc.) are extremely insignificant - about 70 - 000 people (according to various sources).
Reserve of the Armed Forces of the Republic of South Korea - 4

Paramilitary formations (militia) - about 4 people, plus a reserve of about 500 people

Affordable military manpower - about 12,5 million people.
The total labor force is about 24 million people.

There are also significant differences in the training of the Air Force pilots. The DPRK pilots raid is extremely insignificant in comparison with the RSU pilots. The aircraft fleet is outdated, although the DPRK Air Force has almost 2 times the personnel of the South Korean Air Force.

So start, God forbid, there is something - the mess will be something else. In terms of the number of people, South Korea is superior to North, as well as in mobilization resources.

So what, that 6 or 8 million soldiers from the DPRK. About the same, if not more, in South Korea. Technically, southerners are superior to northerners, although they have more equipment, but are obsolete.
As for the rest. It is enough to see how the same Americans behaved during the first war in Iraq. For several weeks (if not months) they simply bombed the Iraqis. having crushed the Iraqi air defense system with such a level of interference that almost all Iraqi planes were chained to the ground, and most of the air defense systems were also drowned out. Koreans are even worse in this regard. The main air defense systems are complexes of the late 50s - early 60s. Complexes S-75 and S-125. There is also its own KN-06 complex, but no one can tell how it will behave under conditions of interference.
Aviation is represented in such antiquity that I don’t want to talk. Of the most modern - two dozen MIG-29 of the first series. A certain amount of MIG-23 and MIG-21. Against the machines of the modern air forces of the South Caucasus, Japan and the United States - this is murder.
And air supremacy will put an end to all ideological or non-ideological fighters. If bombs and missiles regularly pour on your head, you won’t fight much in infantry combat. The only thing that the DPRK has of seriousness is missile forces. But their characteristic feature is a large number of missiles with a small number of launchers ... So, I'm afraid the war will go on at one gate. Eunu does not shine if he starts first. With another option - that is, if the Americans hit the first and the Chinese help the Koreans - then yes, maybe this option

US military bases in South Korea
US Air Force Base Osan (Osan Air Base). One of the two largest US air bases in Korea. Located in Pyeongtaek. It houses the 51 e-wing of fighter interceptors. It is equipped with A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft and F-16 Fighting Falcon light fighters. The headquarters of the 7 Air Force is also located there. His mission is to protect South Korea from attacks from the North.
US Air Force Base Gyeongsang (Kunsan Air Base). Along with the Osan base, one of the most powerful US Air Force bases on the peninsula. Located in the west of South Korea, by the Yellow Sea. It houses the 8-e aircraft wing, also known as the "Pack of wolves." Its A-16 fighters are equipped with the latest navigation systems and night vision devices, which allows you to fight at any time of the day.
Camp Humphreys (Camp Humphreys). US Army Base near Pyeongtaek. Already now there are about 17 000 troops stationed there. By 2016, it should become the largest US garrison in Asia.

The biggest losses will be suffered by the Thunderbolts and soldiers of the United States Front ....
