toonkee Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Why would we need to put them there? Can't we just launch them from wherever. They are frickin' rockets. Does it just look threatening or is there an actual strategic value to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd we officially put a nuke in SK, it's not about fast response, it's about attempted intimidation and risking escalation of an already tenuous situation.

It looks like they were removed in '91. Or more accurately the agreement to sign them was signed in '91 when the North Koreans agreed not to develop nuclear weapons, it was probably a few years later that they were moved. When were you stationed there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
