Hawk, I know how Stalin played us on Japan. If we hadn't had the A-bomb the USSR would probably have been MUCH larger.

People on other threads have been telling me that we could handle N. Korea with NOT much trouble and I try to tell them that N. Korea is like the Russians under Joe Stalin in 1942 and it would be a VERY difficult proposition.

History can't tell you everything in facing an enemy, but history can tell you quite a bit.
