And likely to light will come all the atrocities the government committed and the horrifying aftermath of it all.
Fuck the UN. Nothing will come of this, we all know this. No matter how much the UN bitches and moans and cries, China will cockblock anything the UNSC tries to put forward since they still have their ass-backwards "alliance" with the Northern regime.
[QUOTE=mcattack1092;45245445]Invasion of North Korea will never happen unless NK decides to invade South Korea. The only other way North Korea will be defeated is if China puts their boot down and tells NK to go fuck itself and breaks off all of trade with them which will fuck them over quite bad as they get a lot of fuel, food and luxuries form them.[/QUOTE]
NK's army is just as badly off as its population and suffers from pretty much the same problems of inadequate food and...well, most other resources too. Unless something big changes in a hurry, an invasion of any kind is completely unfeasible. A more likely scenario would be NK actually getting a working missile and lobbing it into SK or, as you said, China getting fed up with their bullshit. I have to say I hope it's the latter, because the former would (potentially) cause more collateral damage.
[QUOTE=AJ10017;45245129]...can we just invade north korea before they somehow end up becoming nazi germany in wold war 2?[/QUOTE]
I don't think you have any idea what Nazi Germany was like during WWII.
one of these times they will hit one of the bigger countries around them that will just tear them apart
[QUOTE=Trunk Monkay;45246317]I don't think you have any idea what Nazi Germany was like during WWII.[/QUOTE]
But at the same time, people had the same "wtf can they possible do anyway?" attitude on post WW1 Germany. Germany deliberately violated the ban on the use of chemical weapons as well, because in the end result, the Nazis did not give the slightest shit about what the world thought.
[QUOTE=Taepodong-2;45245226]Invading North Korea would mean fighting half of their population and most of the country is mountains so they can just go hide there and fight a guerilla war. Which is what we've been stuck doing in Afghanistan for the past 13 years.[/QUOTE]Maybe. This is literally one of the most hardest things to pin down, because there's such a small amount of information on the average North Korean that's been smuggled out. On one hand you have this system of total indoctrination enforced by a fear of the camps and brutality. Included within that is a cultivation of a strong sense of nationalism, something that has always made me wonder if RAYHALO was mentally retarded, they're not contributing to the "world revolution" in any way. This particular line of their propaganda extends back to when Kim Il-sung's cult of personality began, it was essentially the mechanism that allowed the KPA to grow so quickly. Remember: the Korean people had been occupied since WWI, and had just recently gained independence from Japanese rule.
On the other, certain recent events [i]have not[/i] been received well by the general population, such as Kim Jong-un executing his uncle. I can imagine the recent architectural failure in Pyongyang hasn't been well-received either, especially since Pyongyang is full of people who are supposedly safe from all the terrible shit in the DPRK. Kim Jong-un is also young, and the rumors (North Korea is basically run on rumors, probably because you won't hear dick from the official news) about him and his relationship with his generals are pretty wild. While the rumor mill is just that, all rumors, they do contribute to or detract from the general confidence in the government and morale of the population. These forces aren't as concrete and planned as the government's careful measures to keep the population in line, but they are organic and should be seen as a glimmer of hope that the population isn't [i]totally[/i] brainwashed.
I think intervention in North Korea would mean a lot of North Koreans would die, but I'm not so sure anymore how much of that would be combat-related. I'm currently of the opinion that the vast majority of Koreans who die in such a conflict will be North Koreans who starve to death. Even though there would be South Korean and probably US military forces in the area who [i]could[/i] help the population, I've grown cynical of military bureaucracy and it's ability to respond effectively and quickly to humanitarian needs.
