5 Platforms the Air Force Would Use to Crush North Korea – In any conflict in the skies over North Korea, the U.S. Air Force will likely follow a familiar pattern. First, it will need to sweep the skies of enemy fighters—not a difficult prospect considering the decrepit state of the North Korean air force. Concurrent with that will be a campaign to shut down the country’s command and control and air defense systems, and finally close air support and interdiction campaign designed to support friendly forces and locate and destroy enemy ground forces. Here are five weapons systems the air force would need for these missions in the next war in North Korea.

B-2 Spirit Bomber

North Korea’s air defenses are dense but outdated, relying on anti-aircraft guns and, with the exception of an S-300 long-range SAM knockoff, fairly obsolete. Despite their obsolescence, most aircraft would need careful planning to avoid being shot down.

The B-2 Spirit bomber, being stealthy would have relatively little to fear from North Korean defenses. The B-2’s combination of stealth, payload and range would make it one of the first weapons to be used early in a war scenario, chasing down the DPRK leadership. Uncertainty over where the leadership may try to hide could necessitate flying over large swathes of the country, and a stealthy bomber could also prevent neighboring countries from giving Pyongyang advance warning of their approach.

And there is one way for the Chinese to shut all that down instantly.

By threatening to shut down our supply of Chinese manufactured  parts and products.

We make NOTHING anymore. We sold out tools and manufacturing to the Chinese,and now we are dependent on them for damn near everything from coffee pots to automatic transmissions for US cars.

Hell,we don't even have the plants to open again because China bought them also,and either destroyed them or stripped them to the point they are nothing more than shells of buildings.

Well, Pete, surely you remember "FREE TRADE" and how it was mouthed that this was our destiny?

How anyone who dared speak out in skepticism of same was labeled an enemy of conservatism, often right here in this forum??

How did THAT work out for us...?

You are barking at the wrong dog on this one.
