The weird thing about NK that reminds of Vietnam, is they have so little infrastructure that you can't "take it out". They have assets buried in caves all over the most rugged terrain imaginable. We would have the air in no time, but the ground battle could be like Iwo Jima for months and months. I swear they could operate their "communications systems" on AA batteries. The only good thing is I estimate half their equipment is broken due to a lack of spare parts. But I'm sure that recent missile shipment earned them some cash - do you think they're buying Nuke parts with the money?

I think they're probably buying arms. Isn't paranoia pretty standard among dictators; given all the exchanges with the US lately, I am sure he must be worried.

Eric...The weird thing about NK that reminds of Vietnam, is they have so little infrastructure that you can't "take it out"

Why would we possibly take a a risk on NK doing something with its nukes, when we can just starve him out. It is said, over 10 mil people would starve without food handouts. KIms time is limited, he just doesn't know it yet.
