There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.

The south has starcraft gamers and the north has artillery that flattens Seoul in less than 2 hours.

Even matchup methinks

This is in response to the coup (which has already flared out, as the president is too unpopular to even order the military properly). He accused the opposition legislature of being North Korean agents, declared martial law to try and close the parliament, and then got swamped by protests before he could get tanks and helicopters into position.

This would have been South on South violence if it hadn't already ended

What coup? (Serious question. I don't read the news much.)

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

It was the first coup by, for, and of incels.

SK just needs to tech up to Defilers for Dark Swarm.

The south has more advanced artillery though, they've been modernizing a bunch of their old systems based off what's been going on in Ukraine; a WWII 105mm howitzer is unlikely to survive towed to 6 miles of the target, set up, and sit there firing shells in the era of drones.

But throw that thing into the back of a truck that automatically tells the gunner where to shoot and can leave before the drones/counter-fire arrives, and you've at least got something that's not just a death sentence.

Here's a youtuber who talks about warfare and economics who went to a korean arms expo

If NK is prepared to fight WWII, but on the Korean peninsula, it's not going to go well.

lmao. you atlanticist brains are almost as predictable as all the wars you start, lose decisively, and claim victory about.

the SK "military" is a fucking fart somebody had inside a phone booth 40 years ago. it only exists to do crimes against unarmed Koreans, provoke it's neighbors, spend money on US equipment, and hide behind the US' 70 years of threats to do another nuclear war.
