Uh yeah okay
It is a guaranteed that in the event of conflict with NK one of the first things that will happen is the North Koreans will hit Seoul with the Artillery (conventional and rocket) that they have just across the DMZ in fortified positions. I'm not talking batteries or battalions of artillery but Regiments of artillery. I'm not talking in sand bagged implacements or exposed firing positions indefilade they are in concrete reinforced bunkers that a JDAM may or may not penetrate.They have promised a "Storm of Fire" on Seoul if they are attacked by the ROK or the US. Now imagine the number of civilian casualties in a city of that size by a just conventional artillery. IMO NK would also use Bio, and Chem rounds in a heart beat double your casualty figures.
Then theres Japan. Easily in range of any nuke device that NK may have. And have no doubt that they would launch on Japan if threatened by the US or ROK. Just to prove a point.
So for now when casualty figures among the civilian populations of allied countries would be that high. Diplomacy is the best option. Especially when you have a nut job like the "Great and beloved Leader" running the asylum they call a country.
