No - we could easily, totally dismantle NK's nuclear capability using aerial bombing. It's literally that easy.

  Yeah, we all know how effective the bombing of Serbia in 1999 was. The USAF cannot blow up hardened bunkers deep underground. You need boots on the ground to get the job done. And U.S. soldiers and marines would be brutally punished by the North Koreans as soon as they set foot on NK territory. You could count on thousands and thousands of flag-draped zinc caskets. Better keep negotiating until the only option left is the military one.

    It's not necessary to destroy all deep bunkers to effectively dismantle NK's nuclear weapons program. I would be stronlgy opposed to a ground invasion. Your post appeals to the straw man fallacy by implying that I support a position I do not.

      The point I am trying to make is simple: bombing a country is an act of war. If you start a war, you must be ready to face the consequences, including using ground forces to supplement the air raids. NK can't send bombers to attack the U.S. but they can cross the border and engage U.S. forces in SK. This would have to be carefully thought out... I don't have the intel to assess whether an attack on NK would be effective or not, and fortunately I don't have the power to send thousands of kids in harm's way.
