[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33433831]as said before in this thread imagine their reaction when they first see a supermarket[/QUOTE] Worse, the reaction to being revealed that Kim Jong Il was NOT in fact born from the egg of a God.:tinfoil: I've mentioned this in another thread already... think it was the one with that ugly new hotel in Pyongyang. If you abruptly end the current regime and just as abruptly introduce them to a democratic/capitalist world they could fanatically deny it, no matter the evidence offered! Or they might go insane from learning just how much they've been deprived of...? Hopefully this shitfest ends soon and hopefully it ends well for both Koreas (except for Kim and his loyalists - fuck you, Kim!).
Guys about North Korean nukes. Even as a threat, they are not a true danger until the No-Dong missiles actually make it out of North Korean airspace intact.
All I know is that if NK attacks SK, the US will be there, at SK's request, to back them up. And, Goddamn it, we will wipe NK off the map.

The DMZ must be a scary place. [editline]26th November 2011[/editline] Also, I found a reason as to why there shouldn't be a war between the North and South: [QUOTE]In the past half century, the Korean DMZ has been a deadly place for humans, making habitation impossible. Only around the village of Panmunjeom and more recently the Dong Bukbu Line on Korea's east coast have there been regular incursions by people. This natural isolation along the 155 miles (249 km) length of the DMZ has created an involuntary park which is now recognised as one of the most well-preserved areas of temperate habitat in the world.[38] Several endangered animal and plant species now exist among the heavily fortified fences, landmines and listening posts. These include the extremely rare Red-crowned Crane (a staple of Asian art), and the White-naped Crane as well as, potentially, the extremely rare Korean Tiger,[38] Amur leopard and Asiatic black bear. Ecologists have identified some 2,900 plant species, 70 types of mammals and 320 kinds of birds within the narrow buffer zone.[38] Additional surveys are now being conducted throughout the region.[39] The DMZ owes its varied biodiversity to its geography which crosses mountains, prairies, swamps, lakes and tidal marshes. Environmentalists hope that the DMZ will be conserved as a wildlife refuge, with a well-developed set of objective and management plans vetted and in place. In 2005, CNN founder and media mogul, Ted Turner, on a visit to North Korea, said that he would financially support any plans to turn the DMZ into a peace park and a UN-protected World Heritage Site.[40][/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33447202]I remember reading that the DMZ has been called one of the scariest places on Earth[/QUOTE] The scariest part is all those men stationed there, watching the border? If the war reignites, most of them won't have a change to fire a shot. No doubt that if NK ever attempts a crossing, they're going to pepper the SK end with Artillery, and lots of it.

[QUOTE=CakeMaster7;33447523]But let's not forget how heavily fortified it is, the SK just have to let their minefields and artillery do most of the work[/QUOTE] Which is why I said NK would shell the place to hell before they try to cross.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;33447569]Which is why I said NK would shell the place to hell before they try to cross.[/QUOTE] They have had batteries set up for the entire time, both of them. If NK starts shelling, SK won't be left in the dark. Counter-shelling would occur within minutes, if not less than a minute.

I wonder, how does the wildlife handle the minefields? It'd suck for an extremely rare Korean Tiger to step on a mine...
[QUOTE=Megafanx13;33440729]You'd have a hard time garnering support too if the country in question waged war based on ideology and the containment doctrine.[/QUOTE] (Titter titter)
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;33447569]Which is why I said NK would shell the place to hell before they try to cross.[/QUOTE] Considering how their artillery barrage last year had a 100 shells per one death ratio, you can't really say they were effective. And they were targeting an unprepared civilian settlement, too. Sure, they'd mess up the SK side of the border pretty well, but I've seen much more primitive defense lines getting pounded in a fashion equal to what NK has to offer and not get broken through. And even if they can destroy the SK defense, they still have to cross one hell of a trap-filled area just to reach the South. And if they do reach it NATO can easily use combined tactics to hinder North's main attack force, border defense and supplies, something NK just can't afford with an army they cannot feed and maintain.

[I] 'Despite the general fuel and ammunition shortages for training, it is estimated that the wartime strategic reserves of food for the army are sufficient to feed the regular troops for 500 days, while fuel and ammunition - amounting to 1.5 million and 1.7 million tonnes respectively - are sufficient to wage a full-scale war for 100 days.'[/I] [url=http://www.dailynk.com/english/read.php?cataId=nk00100&num=7542]Source[/url]
