***N. Korea soldiers: starvation, malnutrition, AWOL, banditry, looting ****

Mayby this is dis-informantion, make us believe things are really bad in the North, trying to goad the South into an attack against what may be really well trained and fed troops.

If we had a president with some guts, he’d offer all the steak they can eat to the North Korean army if they turn on the dictatorship. But no, Obama is too busy eating wagyu beef at cocktail parties to ever entertain something like that.

Recall that a typhoon actually hit North Korea this year - that had to have an impact on what few crops they actually grow there.

This news have been coming out for several years. Many different channels. Their new recruits are getting shorter, too. Basically, it lead us to believe it is a widespread phenomenon.

Maybe this is disinformation...

That's my first reaction. Is anyone familiar with KOREA TIMES?

All I know is that there sure are a lot of "famines" in NK. Same with Zimbabwe.

I expect the NK's to have this sort of paranoia but I doubt anyone seriously plans to invade. There's nothing there that anyone (including South Korea) wants.

Worst Case: A few surgical sorties, a few well-placed MOABs, will be the extent of the campaign against NK. After that, the west can leave the Norks to their own devices for a few decades.
