[quote=afx114]Isn’t N. Korea’s military made up mostly of rusted out and broken down Cold War-era Soviet hardware? And aren’t their troops and populace in general poorly trained and weakened by famine?
I don’t know if these things are true — they’re just nuggets that I’ve heard a few times from various reporters who’ve managed to get in there. I am curious what the military-knowledgeable people here think about the above claims.[/quote]
Yes N Korea is utterly poor. Poorly trained and weakened.
There is no doubt that if a full scale war breaks out on the peninsula, N Korea will lose. The question is how bloody and how long and how much human suffering. And everyone knows it will be very very much so.
I am not however ask for appeasement. Just stating a fact.
