War with Korea even alone, would make the last 10+ years in middle east wars look like walks in the park.

Because of the nuclear bomb.

Remove all the gloves, it won't matter, because they won't quit, and you don't have the will or the manpower to invade.

They have a standing million man army, and 10 million reserves, and most important they will fight to the last man.

And don't doubt for second then will use their nukes if they feel it's the last resort.

They have the capability to declare an all out war (every man woman and child) and their civis would willingly do it. I believe it would be nastier than the resistance of the invasion on Germany. And yea, after all comes to a closing end, nukes as a last hoorah.

I think they've been cut off from the outside world for so long there's whole generations that have no concept of reality

Some of the shit I've read, like the 3 generations of punishment..... The prison camps, wearing badges of allegiance
( every citizen ) , the public displays of grief when the old leader died..... Then there's the news reports, they teach people that North Korea won all the wars, that their athletes win events they didn't even participate in, that America is starving and North Korea gives THEM food & medicine....... Totally brainwashed.

Yep, war with the North would not be a good thing for sure. I dont doubt for one second they would use their nuclear weapon, in the singular, I highly doubt they have more than one, not that it would matter. It would only take one to tear the lid off Pandoras Box. I feel so sorry for the ordinary citizens there. This is one of those lose-lose situations unfortunately.

Totally. A million man standing army, all fanatical and rearing to go. Stuff of nightmares. The only way to deal with swarming hordes like that is the nuclear option, and nobody wants that.

CHINA has kept this going.

CHINA can stop it any time it wants.

It's not difficult.

If CHINA decided today that it wanted North Korea to stop it's BS, it would stop tomorrow.

CHINA wants the world (especially the US) to run around impotently wringing it's hands.

This situation costs CHINA nothing and provides it with a passive/aggressive means to undermine other while it sits and laughs behind it's 'inscrutable' mask at the idiotic unseeing 'round eyes'.

I think both Russia and China are beginning to tire of North Korea these days for sure.

Couldn't agree more

China gets the free pass, and every day they grow stronger.

Not really. They only act that way from time to time.

They love that The West is getting tweeked.

It doesn't cost them a thing financially or politically.

When they really want a change...there will be one.

Yes...while...keeping CHINA from having to share that border with a Western prosperous nation like South Korea.

Even the peasants in CHINA feel rich when compared to the North Koreans.


If CHINA shared a border with South Korea, even most of the Chinese rich would feel poor in comparison.

The ruling elite of CHINA fear an unrestricted interaction of their population with a prosperous Western nation more than just about anything.

It would, as they know, inevitably result in the downfall of the current political structure in CHINA.
