How on earth do you figure so many casualties?? Most of their rockets don't even work, and I believe half of his troops would defect on Day 1 like the Iraqis.

now, why we haven't just assassinated the prick is completely beyond me.

Even without nuclear weapons, North Korea has an ace in the hole. Most experts believe its claims to have enough conventional firepower from its artillery units to devastate the greater Seoul area, South Korea's bustling capital of 24 million. Such an attack would cause severe casualties — often estimated in the hundreds of thousands — in a very short period of time.

Many of these artillery batteries are already in place, dug in and very effectively camouflaged, which means that U.S. and South Korean forces cannot count on being able to take them out before they strike. Experts believe about 60 percent of North Korea's military assets are positioned relatively close to the Demilitarized Zone separating the countries.

North Korea's most threatening weapons are its 170 mm Koksan artillery guns, which are 14 meters long and can shoot conventional mortar ammunition 40 kilometers (25 miles). That's not quite enough to reach Seoul, which is 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the DMZ. But if they use rocket-assisted projectiles, the range increases to about 60 kilometers (37 miles). Chemical weapons fired from these guns could cause even greater mayhem.

North Korea experts Victor Cha and David Kang posted on the website of Foreign Policy magazine late last month that the North can fire 500,000 rounds of artillery on Seoul in the first hour of a conflict.

We should propose publicly to China, an alliance to invade through their territory into NK. Force them to say no to the world.

We could always do what Patton suggested.

That stuff has a shelf life. For the life of me I can't figure how they would be getting chemical agents, let alone maintaining the level of industry in order to create their own.

They manufacture it.

A lot of their shit is developed by foreign contractors.


I once worked with an Asian H1B visa engineer who, without a single care, told me about his work for North Korea as a contractor. North Korea still has plenty of money to pay for this shit. Clintons and Obama gave them plenty.
