What North Korea vs. USA War Would Actually Look Like

It would only take the push of a button for the Untied States to find themselves in an all-out war with North Korea. Check out today's epic video to find out just what a war between the two nations would actually look like.

You cannot convince me that the strength of both South Korea and the U.S weren't severely downplayed for a more interesting video

No way that the US would not make North Korea a giant glass parking lot as soon as the first nuke hit a US base.

I usually enjoy these videos but I think it’s ridiculous to even speculate that random people in hazmat suits could walk around Seoul spraying lethal biochemical agents without immediately being noticed, questioned, stopped, arrested and interrogated. Especially considering these are supposed to be devastatingly effect weapons, you’d imagine that would be noticed pretty quickly.

Disclaimer...this video was produced by North Korea.

The South Korean military is much stronger than perceived in this video. Also it's not that easy for any North Korean to just walk in South Korea with a bunch of nerve gasses or other lethal toxins. What also is forgotten is the presence of the United States 7th fleet. This fleet has a huge arsenal of weapons to completely decimate North Korea. Furthermore it is still up to debate whether the North Koreans are really capable of reaching the American mainland with their few nuclear warheads. And as we speak, the same American military is working on both scram-jet hyper-sonic missiles and super powered lasers to shoot down any incoming ICBM. In all honest ways I think the chances for North Korea are much slimmer than this video suggests. Let's also not forget that the US Military does not publish all it's secrets, so who knows.

This video significantly overestimates NK's capabilities. As seen from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even an overmatched defender can put up a good fight against a much stronger opponent, yet SK, despite the defender in this scenario, is a much more capable military power than NK (and probably even Ukraine for that matter). The problem is, the cost on infrastructure and civilian lives lost. But in terms of actually winning a potential war, even without significant US assistance, SK should be able to win, especially in a defensive war.

The scenario of NK taking over Seoul and having any agency on its own future as a nation is extremely unlikely. Sure, like the video said, NK has a huge army - 4th largest in the world. SK is also huge - 8th largest. And their air force, navy, armored vehicles, artillery, all their equipment, are all extremely modern and cutting edge, compared to NK fielding mostly WW2 and cold war tech. And SK's soldiers are well fed, well educated, fighting for their homeland instead of a dictator, and have better morale than their NK counterparts. NK's only advantage is nukes, which they don't even have a reliable delivery method for right now.

If NK uses Nukes, NK won't last as long as this video.

Not to be biased, but this is so fantastical it’s almost a comedy

[sharpshooterify]

Clearly they must be talking of an alternate universe where the US and South Korea don’t take Kim seriously

[covenant]

I've never seen such an overestimation of North Korea in any video and assumed incredible ineptitude of every perceived enemy of NK XD The Russia-Ukraine war shows that Russia's greatest weakness would be themselves, North Korea would fare no better. The massive artillery bombardment is fairly an accurate description of what NK would initially do however that's assuming all artillery pieces are well maintained and crewed with trained men. That's a lot of if's to be honest.

Being that I am an ex tanker and was on rotation to Korea at one point, I will tell you there are a lot more than 50 abrams tanks in south Korea at any given time.

[skillissue]

NK is like that one kid in class that wants a fight and ends up crying

[lotusinn]

I‘m not one for underestimating military capacity, but I do feel NK was overestimated here.

[thevietkid]

I normally agree with what you guys say in these videos but I honestly think you underestimate the USA and South Korea military power and way overestimated North Korea. Nk people are starved, lack proper training, and there equipment is outdated/unmaintained, a key thing we are seeing play out in Ukraine with Russias "massive" military.

[mr.replay]

this is 7 months ago, US now have B-21 raider, the most advance stealth bomber and its also nuclear capable..

[johnholbrooks]

I love how this video basically has the US just stand there and do nothing while NK mows them down.

[col.mustard]

Having been stationed in Korea I can tell you that you grossly underestimate the U.S. Military prep and plans.

[PederLindbergMN]

This has to be one of the least realistic "what if" videos I've ever watched. The more I watch the more I am baffled. This is like an idea for a video game. I had to double check this video wasn't put out on April 1st as a joke.

[meshuggahshirt]

North Korea's logistics and actual military strength has already been commented on at length, but it's worth noting that mobilization for this hypothetical war would be impossible to hide. Seoul would still get flattened by conventional artillery, but there's no way the world is getting caught with its pants down.

[Coochieslap]

North Korea watching this video like “write that down, write that down”! 😂😂😂
