Your overly obvious antagonistic rhetoric has earned you label of fool in my book. You know not what you speak of.
First I want to express my opinion of this story as propoganda like most of the crap news that comes from tensions and conflict with Iran, N. korea,
Iraq, Vietnam and any other foreign country America and its leaders have deemed as a threat for the last 50+ years.
That being said...
Militarily North Korea does and would not stand a chance. Even in their own backyard. They have a conventional military that is outdated and small
in comparison to Americas. They know this. I would bet 100 to 1 you would see desertion on scale larger than Iraqi deserters during the invasion.
Besides that, once the head was cutoff, there would be no more reason for their soldiers to continue fighting...
Also, their food supply would be devasted almost immediately, as N. korea relies on much help from the outside. It would become more of a
humanitarian effort than a war...
An army that cant fight when there are trees around and gets owned by a few guys in AKs, wood traps and dressed in rags?
First, we have already been to N. korea, and won actually. By all means open your history book. We never really lost a battle in vietnam which came
with lush jungle laced with booby traps...Not new there bud. Been there done that.
(and still drop like flies every day)
Your attitude irks me quite a bit. Degrading the death of any human is quite low. And Im sure a gnat such as yourself couldnt handle one day fending
for yourself anywhere, never mind in a war situation. So you can take your ignorant assesment and shove it....well in this general direction..:
and for the planes... well air supremacy is in NKs favor here cause they know they topography which the US do not.
another example of foolery. IF (and that is a big IF) they got any planes off the ground, the Navy (either by missile or F-18) would be well equipped
to take them out almost immediately. Making their objective null and void. Therefore, their topography knowledge from an aerial point of view is
useless. And you can bet American and world satellites have been mapping and have mapped that area for the last 15 years.
Lets see how good the US really are.
I personally hope to never see how good the U.S. military really is. Their may not be a world left see to how good they truly are.
but preventing them for entering NK is pretty much assured
While an invasion would not be ideal, it also would not be necessary until the bombs have stopped dropping. And once the bombs have stopped dropping,
we could send Obamas poodle in to declare victory.
The ground squirmishes that would take place after would be over in weeks as the supply lines and food reserves would be amongst the first targets.
If you think NK is anything like the US has ever faced you're wrong. We're talking a mix between the terrain and cunning of the men of vietnam with
the fanaticism, will to fight to the last man, and toughness of the german SS.
FYI... We have already been to Korea, Vietnam and downtown Berlin, and never lost in any of those places. They said the same thing about the SS and
Iraqs Republican guard. And guess what? Here we are today.
