65. You are calling us "imperialist". That's what NK calls us.
Your faith in Dear Leader has blinded you to harsh reality. Kim runs the most oppresive government on Earth. And you are claiming that he can easily overrun ROK/US militaries. NK lost badly in the 1950-53 war and had their butts saved by China and Russia. That help won't be there if Kim starts another war.

Take a look at post #64, this thread. The poster has been there and has first hand knowledge. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8387694&mesg_id=8425207

Countries with large scale starvation do not have effective militaries. That is so obvious that it is almost an axiom, but you don't want to face that fact.

I have given links to a site that keeps up with the stats on all the world's militaries. If you want to post some other stats, do so. Just remember that it takes more than a warm body to make a soldier. A poorly trained, half-starved, soldier is little more than a target. Go ahead and post them. I will be easily able to deal with them. I have likely seen them already.

Whether or not there is a war depends upon Kim. If he doesn't attack, there won't be a war. If he does attack, there will be a war. I do not encourage starting a war with NK, only in forcefully resisting if they attack. You do not seem to see a difference between those two.
