North Korea, here we come!!

North Korea has 100,000 artillery pieces pointed South. The vast
majority of them are pointed at Seoul which is well within range.

Its estimated that a 15 minute barrage will kill 1.5-3 million
residents of Seoul.

The residents of NK have been systematiclly starved to death over the
last 50 yrs so the leadership could build deep bunkers and build a
static defense system. Any military action against NK will likely
involve hitting them with nukes as they are too well entrenched to
remove them as a threat.

So its pretty much an option of last resort. Unlike Iraq, which could
be and was defeated in a few hours with relatively few casualites on
either side.
Twice.

NK does have The Bomb. Has had it for years. Chinese.
They are now able to manufacture their own. They have been using the
threat of doing so to gain economic aid for many years.

The mad dwarf used to be pretty smart. Now that he is growing more and
more insane...things are getting far more dicey.

It's better to be a red person in a blue state
than a blue person in a red state. As a red
person, if your blue neighbors turn into a mob
at least you have a gun to protect yourself.
As a blue person, your only hope is to appease
the red mob with herbal tea and marinated tofu.
