humanitarian crisis that would cause mauve damage to the global economy, probably collapse the south Korean economy, and China as i recall. it leaves north Korea fragmented under warlords, unless Sistine immediately moves in to take control.

also it breaks the rule saying we don't assassinate foreign leaders, and they don't assassinate ours.

A "special forces" team going is in to kill is probably the least good and most messiest option as far as decapitation strikes go. That is also gunna be a one way ticket I have to imagine.

Speaking entirely in hypotheticals of course, but North Korean shorelines are very poorly defended. While the conscripted army is big in manpower, they are very short on things like communications and night vision. They also lack things like drone surveillance, satalites, and modern radio intercept gear. A special operations team going in would not be some sort of sniper hitman, they'd be on the ground eyes and ears for military targets. Moving knowing that ordanance is right over the horizon scheduled once teams are in position, as soon as the ballon goes up. There wouldn't be need to worry about a one way trip or keeping in hides for a week with chances of being caught, you've got one daylight cycle to hunker down in before the itano circus arrives. There is so many PGMs staged that it would boggle Eisenhower. Lessons learned in Iraq too, we'd level everything that looked funny, no oil wells to avoid destroying.

This isn't the 1950s, there would be no protracted ground war in mountain and swamp. You'd have three days or so and if were not unlucky the only nukes will be the ones the norks detonate on the ground because they don't have readied missiles to launch this very moment. If we're unlucky Seoal and Tokyo are gone and the global economy collapses but America remains untouched, until a real war.

But actually that headline is a monomer, because there are no special forces teams specializing in regime change, and the boat that is chilling in busan is much more of a strike package truck.

So we've got an almost civil war between the Iraqi Kurds and the Iraqi government and Iranian-backed Popular Mobilization Units (with probably IRGC embeds), and now the North Korea situation is worsening.

All without a functional State Department or a functional brain inside POTUS's head. Awesome.
