North Korea, what a bad place to live in, South Korea on the other hand looks like a beautiful place to live in. Capitalism works there.

In the last war with Korea they successfully fended off the americans with WW2 weapons.
Il's body guards can hit 6 targets accuratly while jumping all over the place doing crazy martial arts in like 5 seconds. I would imagine his armies have had this type of training as well.
Nuking North Korea would be the only viable option for victory.

The only problem that the russians had was that the dogs they trained took a great dislike to the noise of the tanks and decided that heading straight back the way they came from, complete with explosives , was the best thing to do
The other flaw apparently was they used Rusian tanks in training, so when the dogs decided to stop running, they found a nice quiet Russian tank to hide under

As for ils bodyguards, that is what we call propaganda. And all the tae kwon do in the world is not going to help you when the tanks start rolling in.
During the Korean war the economy of north korea was a lot healthier than it is now. No infrastructure, no stability. If a groun war were to come I believe you would see north korean troupes surrending ala saddams troupes during the first gulf war.
Here take my gun and give me a sandwich I'm starving...Kim? He went that way, I'll draw you a map.
The citizenry of North Korea today is not the same as the citizenry of the late forties early fifties. Whatever fight they had has been drained out of them by an insane maniac who'd rather watch western movies than feed and clothe his people.

Poor dogs... I guess in war winning is more important than doing the decent thing sometimes... but yet I have to wonder about the Russians since I've heard of other strange things they did then.

Too bad NK aint sitting on top of huge oil reserves, then maybe something would be done to end the suffering there.
Again, it was no propaganda. The stuff depicted in the bodyguard footage is for real, a former Kim Jong Il bodyguard who escaped North Korea said it was very much fact.
Why don't you go head to head with a North Korean soldier? See how well he surrenders.
Wishful thinking, but the soldiers are actually quite well-fed. The citizens, not the military, are the ones starving. The soldiers as a whole have a whole lot to fight for.
Again, you're one of those media slaves. And you'd hear a very different story about the North from the Korean people themselves. its not the simple, black-and-white situation you and the other media slaves paint it out to be. It is a situation to take VERY seriously, not one to accept and spread disinformation about.
LOL North Korea sucks as much as I thought it does.
However, while they cannot beat the U.S., they can certainly take a lot of our troops with them. A LOT. That alone is something to really worry about.
I'm also surprised at the "Crazy Kim" phenomenon. Most of you might be slaves to the Great Satan known as the U.S. mass media...
