North Korea is the most militarized country in the world today, having the fourth largest standing army in the world, at an estimated 1.1 million armed personnel, with about 20% of men ages 17-54 in the regular armed forces. It also has the Worker-Peasant Red Guard, a reserve force comprising 3.5m+ (approximate).

Well maybe the phrase "doesn't stand a chance" is a little premature.

the moral of their military is so low I give the defection rate in a limited conflict against South Korea and the US at 20% and the chance of the upper echelons getting fraged by their own troops even higher.

However in a full war there will be no place for them to defect too

But no air force to really speak of or high tech weaponry past 1970s. The men will be shot from the air and never stand a chance.

When you're putting together an army, as history goes, the meat is the easiest part. When you have enough fuel, ammunition, food, know-how training and transportation, the numbers start to look scary.

Frankly, one of the most underrated aspects of our military is our ability to feed it from halfway across the planet.

LOL people are tards. Largest standing army in the world...LOL and even if that were a problem do you understand the logistics of invading a country? Very few have the resources to do so, and one of the few is us so don't spew fear mongering.

Well, we cannot guarantee the safety of North Korean civillian aircraft flying close to South Korea, Japan, or the US.

It isn't a threat. We're not going to do anything to them. We simply aren't going to take responsibility for their safety.

Arrggg.... you don't need to invade a nation to defeat it. I realize its a partial view but I like Max Weber's take o states, A state is a geographical monopoly on violence. If one undermines the monopoly you can cause a state to fail. You can do this without invading

So is he dead, or just hangin wit Arec Baldwin?

We have always been at war with Civilia.

Reminds me of what everyone was saying before Iraq War 1.0. 'But Saddam has the fifth biggest military in the world! This will be dangerous.'

As one lecturer put it, it took the US and allies about 24hours to reduce the Iraqi army from the 5th biggest in the world to, like, the fifth biggest in Iraq

The US would never shoot down civilian planes.

Unless of course they contained drugs...

...or nuns...

...or Iranians.

I was just trying to point out that waving their dicks in the air is meaningless. They won't do anything. They rely too much on aid from South Korea, the US, and China to risk actually doing anything.

Exactly.

On the other hand, Seoul would probably be a smoking crater within 20 minutes of hostilities opening, considering the amount of artillery the North has just behind the DMZ.

Ruz:

Yeah, exactly, they have a a LOT of pieces set up, aimed, and all ready to fire. Probably with just 10 rounds each ha since they can't afford more. They have had 50 years to dig them in with nothing else to do.

How I picture a war against North Korea:

Small but highly trained teams covertly move to those sites where political prisoners and their families are kept. These people are freed in massive numbers and revolution begins. While Great Leader is supposed to be keeping his citizens under control and repelling allied armies, that damn idiot will order his people to protect his statues. It will be chaos. It will be strategy versus his proven impotence. They do not stand a chance. It will be beautiful madness.

Well maybe the phrase "doesn't stand a chance" is a little premature.

I find that difficult to believe. If the army is comprised of 20% of all fighting-age men in the country, and contains 1.1 million, that means the remainder is about 4.4 million. If their reserve contains 3.5 million, that means there are less than a million men who are not in the miltary or reserves.

Could this really be the case? Or are there shenanigans? How would they pay them all?

They'll be fine as long as they refuse to apologize for their military blowing a civilian aircraft out of the sky, then give the murderers that did it medals for bravery.

We already played this game as the South Koreans and it ended in basically a stalemate. I say this time we play as the North Koreans and see if we can beat our high score. I mean, you wouldn't buy Command and Conquer and then only play as the Allies. Eventually you have to play as the Soviets too or you aren't really getting your money's worth.
