China will have a little word. Otherwise the US will get them. They may have a huge standing army but if they start a nuclear war, it won't be
standing for long. Kim Jong Il is a problem overdue a solution. If he goes nuclear, a solution will be found very quickly.

Team America World Police I like the Democratic People's Republic of Korea title they give them, ruled by one man who inherited power from
his father who is still technically the ruler of North Korea. He is also chairman of the national defence commission and supreme commander of the
world's fourth largest army (and a complete fruitcake by all accounts)

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

North Korea is surviving on its friendship with China which would evaporate instantly if they did this. They'd be universally vilified and
invaded in short order, so it'd be suicide and I imagine they're not that daft.

Their army might be massive but it's ill equipped and I'd question the morale of the average sildier to fight against the side they
probably want to be on - one volunteer being worth 10 pressed men and all that.
There are no valuable resources in N Korea, very little of anything, including arrable land - that's why they're in the state
they're in, as all the resources are in the south.
Even if it went nuclear, some weapons are such that ground can be safely occupid by troops within days.
Having been in the UK forces, I've done lots of exercises based on the Korean war scenario - in every event the North won by sheer numbers where
nukes weren't deployed, whih we always taught to mean Game Over anyway, as it's considered a last alamo act.
The big question would be whether China would allow the US to get so close to it's own borders using milttary force - let's face it, it
didn't turn out too well last time, did it?
I think that is the bigger, scarier scenario that lies behind all this, especially when you consider Russia are building their forces again and have
been engaging in joint exercises with Chinese forces

My guess is they'll be "invaded" by China if they look like they're about to do something stupid that threatens Chinese
interests.
It wouldn't be called invasion but there'll be a few hundred thousand 'Military Advisers' on the ground with tanks over a few
days and the current regime may retire soon afterwards.

a couple of half-arsed bombs doesnt really constitute a proper nuclear deterent, does it? They would get crushed in short order. And im sure China
wouldnt dream of supporting them, China needs world trade not isolation.
