Is there still a treaty obliging the USA to help South Korea if North Korea invades? North Korea claims that the South belongs to them anyway. With the US economy in the state it's in and troops just pulled home from Iraq I can't see Obama or anyone else wanting to put troops into South Korea. If the new Dear Leader thinks about it, he might come to the conclusion that now would be a good time to invade.
I don't know if US air bases exist in South Korea but if they do, are there enough planes there to mount a defense? Would moving a carrier group in be a practical alternative?
NK's nukes seem to be fairly primitive but primitive or not I wouldn't want to rely on them not being used.
Oh Well. It's time I got back to work...................
