North Korea Loses All Internet Access

  Pretty much. Nobody bothers flattening an enemy city anymore. Too many civilian casualties, and way too much effort.
  
  Instead you make focused strikes on pockets of enemy resistance and enemy logistics, crippling their command structure and ability to obtain supplies and reinforcements.
  
  This prevents them from fighting back efficiently, while your tanks dominate resistance in the streets and your commandos swarm enemy hotspots to eliminate all resistance.
  
  Haven't any of you played some of the newer RTS games? You don't have to conquer your enemy. You just blow up their military production and key resources such as oil and metal supplies so that they cannot make reinforcements and you can capture them far easier.

  But that is what conquering is...
  
  You usually have to eradicate your enemy in RTS (even in turn-based strategy) unless it uses specific rules or the enemy ggs before you get the chance.
  
  Of course, that is kinda beside the point.

  I really hope humans aren't so stupid that they would repeat their past mistakes. Either way it'll be interesting to see how this all turns out. *grabs some popcorn*

  Oh wow. I just looked at Seoul on the world map and realised there is indeed no way they can anywhere near eradicate it with their arsenal if they want to keep some to fight back the inevitable swift invasion. Seoul is more or less safe, lol. Didn't know it was one of those huge metropolitan regions you can easily see from low Earth orbit.
