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. I personally have no desire to see the US engaged in a war with N. Korea. It will be costly.. and definitely bloody. However, this is not 1950. And N. Korea's army, while sizable, still has to advance and supply itself. And they face a very large, well-trained, and well-equipped S. Korean military that will bear the brunt of the battling. The really outstanding question is what's going to happen when N. Korea's rhetoric paints themselves into a corner that they believe they have to fight out of? Will the N. Koreans fight for the "Dear Son" in such a situation? Or will he face a coup? Hawk
