Well lets see.
2 dead and 18 wounded versus 6.5 billion people on earth, most of whom would die in a full-on nuclear conflict...
I'd say a lot?
Tone down the rhetoric people. Proportional response is difficult here because NK is on such a power trip that we know that we're not going for proportional response, we have to go for blitzkrieg. And it's not yet justified to perform a blitzkrieg.
In closing, the shells fired, if larger artillery shells, have between 12-15 kg of explosives within them. With 18, that adds up to almost 300 kg of explosives.
The B-1 Lancer can carry 56,000 kg of explosives. We have 66, as well as 85 of the slightly smaller but no less deadly B-52 Stratofortress.
Be careful with your wishes. They can be granted.
Gallstones, I believe you know how to contact me. The rest of you? I could not possibly even care.
