F-35s dont have Surface-to-Air missiles... they have Air-to-Surface and Air-to-Air missiles.

The "conventional artillery turning Seoul to rubble" paper relied on the assumption that North Korea would relocate every single piece of its artillery into the one tiny spot from where most of their artillery can actually reach Seoul. Which would make disabling them that much more easier, even if that one spot had the logistical and storage capacity for it. And such relocation of epic proportions couldn't be done as a surprise attack. SK would have every single shell store in that tiny plot of land mapped out weeks before the invasion. Besides, the idea of North Korea just choosing to fire at civilians with all of its artillery might while completely ignoring the South Korean and US forces advancing on their positions just so they can kill more civilians is absurd.

The end of the world is sponsored by another throw away pay to win game! :DDD

We have always lived in an era of war. I dont think there has ever been a time in human history where there hasn't been a conflict.

This is under the assumption that the US main priority is North Korea. But what if Russia escalates its war in Ukraine, and China takes Taiwan, then North Korea attacks South Korea? What would the US do in a WW3 situation?

North Korea is a fortress, literal mountains have been filled with bunkers over the decades. There's no telling howw extensive their mountain fortresses are but they are formidable for sure. Any war would require ground troops to root them out of these mountains one by one.

Any war is a terrible idea.

I was at Camp Stanely for 4 years. Most of those bases have been closed for a long time now. You need to update your map.

everything around the DMZ would be gone in minutes.

DPRK has no chance in winning an offensive war against ROK and allies but has a chance in winning a defensive war with the help of their allies.

Technically the war never ended and is still going on

Videos like this, where I have some limited background knowledge, make me worry about the accuracy of your videos where I don't. (1) It's unlikely that massed infantry can easily cross the DMZ in either direction (minefields etc), especially as such a crossing would be opposed; (2) If the North was losing, it's highly likely China would intervene (see the 1950s Korean War, and the obvious continued modern desire for China to have a buffer state and/or avoid mass refugees); (3) Everyone knows the North has nukes, and that nuclear-armed nations will react with nukes when faced with an existential threat, so the likelihood that the South will try to invade is unlikely (especially given #1).

I doubt their F-35's are equiped with surface to air missiles. They probably meant air to air missiles.

All of that work and nary a word about the Sino-North Korean Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation, and Mutual Assistance. Article II reads, "In the event of one of the Contracting Parties being subjected to the armed attack by any state or several states jointly and thus being involved in a state of war, the other Contracting Party shall immediately render military and other assistance by all means at its disposal."

As a South Korean living in Seoul, I can say that this war is very unlikely because North’s goal is not unification/annexation, but sustaining Kim’s regime. But in this scenario, I’d agree that I would likely be dead within 2 hours of the war starting lol.

North Korea will unleash their might of 1950s jets

You've completely neglected to talk about the area around Busan, which is heavily industrialized and has been built to not only be self-sufficient, but to also churn out all they could need for a modern war. It has massive shipyards, industrial plants, an oil refinery and electronics plants, as well as sufficient energy from the NPPs there. Also SK knows of its vulnerability in Seoul, that's why they've been pushing for industries there to relocate. The city of Sejong is a result of that. The issue right now is not conventional artillery for Seoul, but a nuke. Its geography means that even a Hiroshima sized bomb could cause massive casualties. Add to that the rumors of the city sitting on a giant natural gas pocket. As for the rest of the country, there's the issue of the tunnels dug under the DMZ, of who only a few were found. Nobody knows how many NK dug.

Japan too might get involved by helping South Korea. Japan doesn't want the North and China to win.
