How North Korea at least claims it sees a future war on the peninsula.

One nuclear bomb can ruin your day.

That was a good find!
The only and only weapon NK has to slow us from crushing them like the cockroaches that they are is the public aversion to all the civilian deaths they could and would cause in South Korea. The en masse conscript tactics used by commies are not enough to even slow us down, not to mention that we own the sea and sky, we can strike them when and where we want as often as we like

"Nuclear weapons are offensive weapons and there is no defense against nuclear attacks"

I guess this ignorant statement is what passes for DPRK intel.

We have, what, all of 30,000 troops there? They commies won't be fighting us, they'll be fighting the ROK with naval and air support from the US.
And they will be in a world of hurt. The forces they will be facing are qualitatively far more powerful that ones than anihilated the North Korean forces in the unfinished Korean War. Only Communist Chinese intervention saved their butts, and, hopefully, we won't have to worry about this, this time around.

In June 1998, another submarine got caught in fishing nets at Sokcho and its crew killed themselves. Such is the fighting spirit of North Korean soldiers.

Does anyone else find this to be a "strange" statement??

"On the other hand, the US army was defeated by ill-equipped foes in Korea and Vietnam."

We never lost a single battle in VN. The media and lefty protesters along with gutless pols cost us that war.

I wouldn't worry as far as conventional warfare is concerned. The armoured/infantry units is sitting ducks for the USAF, and the NKAF and naval "fleet" is useless against the US. But nobody want's a ground war in NK. With 4 million fanatic soldiers it will be a bloodbath anyway you put it. What worries me is NK's nuclear capability. That country is a mad-house. The sooner somebody stops kill Kim Jong Il the better.

Riddled with misinformation. The author states that NK has ICBMs with nuclear capabilities. Complete crap. To be effective against the US an ICBM must be launchable without notice. NK's unreliable Topo Dong family of missiles requires a liquid fueled stage, which requires loading. We know where the Topo's are and will destroy the facilities and any missiles on the pads.

The NKs best shot will be an opening arty barrage of chemical weapons, if they dare. This will be regime suicide, as it will immediately drag the ROK forces in to the fight. The vaunted NK arty emplacements have not moved in 20 years. They might be in caves, but they are vulnerable to air strikes and counter-battery fire.

The NK forces will be decimated if they leave their garrisons and cross the DMZ. Their is little manuever room in the ROK, so they will be wiped out by air power. Would such a war be bloody? Oh yeah, like WWII in Europe compressed into a 30 day time frame. The intensity would be unbelievable, but the outcome would be swift. The NK regime would collapse quickly and many troops, having spent years being starved and brain washed, would desert once they cross ed the DMZ.

Any war on the Korean peninsula will be sobering, but I would expect the ROK army to be able to handle the NK army with our support from the air. Remember, NK is working with weapons and systems that are old, Soviet derivatives. Other than popping off a few random Hiroshima-sized nukes, they've got little to work with. Besides, Kim is a survivor. He's not interested in upsetting his pampered lifestyle.

In the event of a war in Korea,I believe our own msm(5th column)is potentially more of a threat than Kim2.Granted NK has lots of soldiers,planes,tanks,etc,but the overwhelming majority of equipment is antiquated,and i seriously question NK's ability to conduct longterm,sustained combat.

ah hahaha....

When planning to win a war, one shouldn't plan on it being waged on their own land. Besides, how effective will their "navy" be if they are protected in bunkers?

These crafts are equipped with torpedoes and will be used to attack US careers.

They will break some careers, and make others.

so much to nitpick:

>>>Tank battles in Korea will be fought on hilly terrains >>>without any close air cover, because North Korean >>>fighters will engage US planes in close dog fights.
for a few minutes...

>>>North Korea has the capacity to transport 20,000 special >>>force troops at the same time
That cannot be protected by them...

One nuke going off against us and the world would see something it has never seen since biblical times. The complete annihilation of a nation by sunfire.
