Our friends in South Korea might have something to say about the definition of "winning." E.g. it's my understanding that though we could take out North Korea pretty quickly, probably not quickly enough to prevent them from raining hell on Seoul. Does anyone here think China or Russia just sits there while we attack their neighbor? Didn't quite work out that way last time around. Short of North Korea doing something so completely horrific and off the charts unprovoked that the there is a world consensus they have to go any military action against them means we will be up against both China and Russia.
