The NK army is good for making the NK dictator feel good and oppressing NK people.
I don't care how big their army is. We have it tageted, we have their tunnels located and ready to be collapsed, We have their railroads ready to blasted, their bridges dropped and their troops slaughtered.
The tanks they use have shells that bounce off of our tanks.
The very size of the NK army, 1.1 million people fed bs and propaganda for their entire lives, means they can't move effectively.
And IF that pos tyrant who is deliberately starving his people uses his nukes, it will be one of the last things he does.
The NK dictator was never in compliance with the 1994 treaty, never intended to be in compliance, and he started a new nuke program in direct breach of that treaty in 1998, and now he holds South Korea, Japan and American troops as hostage to his policy.
The anger the monster of the north has is that the current US Administration cares enough to call his lies for what they are, and to not sit around until NK can impose a conquest on South Korea by overt threat.
NK is a more dangerous paper tiger than Iraq, and has a large country as hostage instead of a tiny one like Kuwait.
But once that paper tiger tries anything, it will collapse.
The only way the NKs got anywhere in the Korean war was when China and Russia through large amounts of aid and Chinese troops to directly support the NKs. That is not going to happen this time.
The probelm with dictators is that they believe their own bs and kill a lot of their people and innocents in being taught they are wrong.
Capitulation and appeasement, as was done in the 1990's, is a proven failure. It bought quiet. It did not build peace. And in the quiet NK was simply building more ways to conquer the South.
We must manage this much more carefully than we are the Iraqi situation since we are now faced with a nuclear armed NK that can inflict horrible damage to its hostages.
Fortunately we are dealing with Iraq early enough to prevent this.
