  • If a Korean dictator gets delusions about their military strength who is there to stop them? The answer in this case might surprise you. China would likely be the ones to hold North Korean ambitions back and keep them in check. The United States military plays their role in the balance of power as well. NATO and the United Nations have been trying to find a long term solution to this problem for ages.

    I always imagined the North Korean invasion force would stop at the first South Korean supermarket and stall as the entire army of starving soldiers eat the most food they have ever seen in their lives.

    My father, a Korean war veteran explained it to me this way, “Son, the reason we’re in Korea is not to keep the North Koreans from attacking south, it’s to keep the South Koreans from attacking north.” I’ve trained with the South Koreans. They would mop the floor with the North Koreans.

    For those who don't know, NK sends mini subs into SK waters pretty regularly (or used to). With the intended mission of releasing special forces suicide teams into SK, who mostly always seemed to get arrested or shot by SK cops or just flat out surrendered instantly.

    I laughed way too hard at calling Kim Jong Il, “Kim Jong the 2nd”.

    My commander was briefed on the state of the north Korean military recently, and he informed me that the average height of a north Korean was 5'3" due to the generational starvation. He said he has never been less worried about north Korea.

    Had a friend that served with the US forces stationed in South Korea. He said that the US forces were there to half the time keep the North from invading the South and the other half of the time to keep the South from invading the North.

    Now, from actual reports I have read, an invasion in Korea by either side would follow the coast-lines on either side, because the mountainous interior (which you mentioned around

    the silver weapons signifies that the soldier has prestiged 10 times and had at least a kill streak of 15. if they double that they can unlock the golden skin for their guns.

    As a Korean, I cannot forget to thank the United States and many other countries that helped us take freedom whenever there are human violations or wars in other parts of the world. We literally had no tank, not even a single one. I think it is quite a miracle that we have achieved a lot of things within 70 years. BIG thanks to the people who sacrificed for us, and god bless America!

    The difference here is that while Russia had a significant advantage on paper, North Korea does not. South Korea has a very strong military with updated weapons, equipment and especially aircraft. Moreover, the DMZ (having been there) is easily one of, if not the most, fortified defense-in-depths in the world. Simply put, it would take a superhuman effort by any military, including the US military, to effect a major breakthrough in that area. North Korea lacks the tools for an amphibious invasion, especially when it is almost guaranteed that South Korea will either heavily contest or outright control the air.
