I was stationed in Camp Casey during 2006, and, one day on a road march, I asked Top what we would do if North Korea came over the border. Top stopped the whole formation and explained that all our bases and all our military assets were already dialed into their artillery and rockets, and that our battlefield role was to be a speed bump for North Koreans while The U.S. and South Korea reacted. I never forgot that.

@@orangecat504 I would say that our groups in eastern Europe are a deterrent. It's about proving that we are willing to back up our NATO allies. It also forces ourselves to act if Putin does something. If our troups die in Latvia we're gonna have to do something, and Putin knows that. That will in theory stop Putin from trying anything. Which will lead to no conflict whatsoever. It's like stationing a police officer to stop speeding, or a home alarm to prevent burglars.

I think that completely takes away from how important your job was, along with the active duty SK forces, although it would be very bloody it would be imperative that the active duty personnel close to the border fight tooth and nail, because the south Koreans have mandatory conscription they have a massive base of trained men but would need time to raise reserve units or volunteer units like the Ukrainian TDF, organize them, arm them, and give them training on new weapons, tactics and systems, and US forces outside Korea would need time to get in country especially if they are coming from the mainland US, obviously troops from bases like Japan and Guam could be there in days to weeks but considering how massive the Norths army is there will need to be large quantities of men and equipment brought in from North America, the bulk of it by ship, I would not want to be a soldier on or near the DMZ durring the initial hours or days of a conflict, that being said depending on their actions and depending on how feircly they resist it could save the lives of countless civilians if they are given time to flee, and the less ground given the fewer US and South Korean soldiers would need to die later in the conflict taking that ground back, also the less ground taken the less damage would be done to the south Korean infrastructure and economy and could be the difference between a long road to economic recovery and millions of refugees or a short term recession that wouldn't hamper south Korean long term economic ambitions

I have doubts that South Korea backing out of the nuclear nonproliferation treaty would make them into a pariah. Not only are they economically important on a global scale, not to mention the influence from the Korean diaspora within many allied nations, but South Korea is also still ideologically aligned with these nations whether or not they have nukes. At most, they would only lose their most tenuously linked trading partners.

Each and every time when there was a missile test, we were also terrified because we're not confident about their technology at all...

It is very difficult for a dictator who publicly executes citizens for listening to the "wrong music" to have such citizens fight and risk their lives for such a person. Especially outside of their country. N. Korea basically is all bark, no bite.

Nuclear war is a zero sum game, but the ones initiating it stand to lose even more than the ones getting hit by the initial nuke. It's why even 1 and a half years after Putin's invasion of Ukraine, with all those threats of using nuclear arms, it hasn't happened once. Putin knows if he launches nukes he will well and truly be on his own. Xi cannot defend the use of nukes while trying to maintain the sovereignty stance.

When I was a freshman in college, my roommate was an international student from South Korea. I live in Missouri, so we have tornado warning drills with LOUD sirens regularly. One day, After hearing the sirens go off, My roommate looked a bit concerned, pointed up at the sky and said, “bombs”? He thought it was a bomb-drill. That experience will always stick with me as a reminder of the realities that many people outside the US face, especially in South Korea. Of all the drills I had to go through in the US, I’ve never had a bomb-drill. My parents are boomers so I always heard stories about the Cold-War nuke drills they did at schools… But to the Koreans, that’s just their every day reality. My friend served his time (mandatory conscription) in the Korean marines, and he is now living in the US. I have nothing but respect for South Korea and their military.

I was stationed in Seoul in 2014-2015. North Korea fired a rocket accross the DMZ to destroy a S. Korean propoganda speaker. At the time we did didn't know this though, and we all thought we were about to get attacked. It was one of the most tense moments of my life, because we knew that our current location was in the impact zone of thousands of artillery pieces. We had also been told many times that's we were just a "speedbump" to slow down the N Korean Army until reinforcements from the mainland arrived.

This makes me remember being stationed at SOCPAC when that bombardment happened in 2010. I worked in he Command Center but not in any operation capacity (VTC Tech XD) But never the less, I remember getting called in, confused as to what was going on, for a few hours a hand full of us sat in the CC and talked about the beginning of WWIII and How we were going to remember where we were when it started. Surreal stuff, thinking about it now we were all completely convinced that was the beginning. Wasn't even that we were worried the North or China was going to make the first move either. The concern was that the South was going to just lose patience with it all.
I came across your channel for the first time today and five (5) minutes into watching and listening i subscribed. You are the best narrator I've ever listened to, a great master teacher.

I'm noticing a pattern here: it's always the money, i.e. the oil. I lived through both invasions of Iraq, so you would think I couldn't be surprised by that today. The mainstream media somehow forgets to mention that oil was involved in conflicts, so sometimes it sneaks up on you.

The detail you go into in your videos is remarkable 👌🏼 I applaud you for that because it's rare these days. I've heard WWII stories that were absolutely gruesome so I don't think you telling factual history is wrong. When did KZread start censoring history?
@BakedBean132
10 ай бұрын
they don't necessarily 'censor' it, the terms and conditions on how modern conflicts and contraversial topics are treated is a bit of a grey area and can lead to easy demonitisation, then the algorithm kicks in and either doesn't promote the video or age restricts it - not saying this is 100% the reasoning but its how far i understand it to be.
@josephmatthews7698

It's not censored. At least 80% of KZreads viewers are under the age of 18 and promoting violent, sexual or otherwise inappropriate material to children would chase away advertisers and start forcing parents to ban their children from KZread altogether grossly lowering revenues which you might not care about but would cause your favorite creators to not be able to do this for a living because KZread wouldn't be able to pay them. Is not allowing children to purchase pornography or watch ultra violent movies censorship? No, it's just common sense. I love this creator and they have nearly 7 million subscribers so it's safe to say the KZread algorithm has actually been incredibly kind to them. Not to mention how many channels out there pump out straight up propaganda and push agenda driven narratives painting history and current affairs in a light favorable to their political affiliation and obviously monitoring that content is very difficult. KZread is so large and ubiquitous now it's not unreasonable to expect it to follow the same guidelines as other mainstream broadcasters.
