The first Korean War

Who remembers the Korean War? The Chinese provided ground forces and Russia air power. Stall mate but no truce was ever signed. If North Korea makes first strike and we bomb the hell out of them China may let it pass but if we invade then it might just be world war 3. My worst fear is Trump is too stupid and over steps common sense. The second fear is when he see what he has got this country into he will sell the farm to appease China and say he made a great deal.

Missiles launched against US targets and an invasion of the South. I would expect a US response to be return missile attack and land reinforcements to the South.

If the missile response is proportional and the ground war holds to the present borders, China may not react. They have problems with Kim too. China does not want refugees from North Korea and they want a buffer.

Still, best if Kim can be contained without hostilities.
