Operation Northface (NATO)

Operation Northface was a huge military operation conducted by the NATO in 2017 and a number of allies that had the goal of invading North Korea and putting the land under control of South Korea. General James C.T. Wade was appointed Operation Commander.

Goals

 * 1) Mobilize all NATO forces to symbolize strength to the NATO's enemies.
 * 2) Establish two Pacific NATO army bases, one in Japan and one in South Korea.
 * 3) Invade North Korea and establish a provisional government that will be under control of South Korea within 10 years.
 * 4) Establish eight Eastern-European NATO army bases for the defense of Europe.
 * 5) Intimidate NATO's enemies by placing troops and heavy weaponry near its enemies' borders.

Criticism goals
James C.T. Wade, only recently (December 30th 2016) appointed as Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), assumed full control over the Operation and became the highest ranking general of the NATO. It was under his control that the 5 goals of Operation Northface were divised, and many historians agree that if someone else would have received the titel of SACEUR, Operation Northface would not have led to World War Three. Especially goal 1, 4 and 5 were later deemed unnecessary. Without it, Russia might have been less insulted and would have been more willing to resolve the issue dipomatically.
