How long has Kim been in charge ? 7 years
Xi ? 5 years

This is to the point that when worst comes to shove, the 38 and 39 GAs will invade North Korea if the refugess exodus becomes unmanageable. The PLA will forcibly keep the North Koreans in North Korea.Chimo

Don't you find it odd it hasn't happened yet ?

However, if the above is true, this situation reminds me of what you've talked about our force posture VS Warsaw Pact in the 1970s. NATO goes nuclear immediately at the tactical level because conventional forces are totally outmatched.

Originally posted by citanon View PostSir, my thoughts too. However, I think what we are missing here is classified intel on the actual current condition of KPA. Could it be that KJU has hollowed out his conventional forces to fund the nuclear program?
Even hollowed out, the Inmun Gun has a defensive advantage that boggles the mind, the natural and man-made terrain of North Korea.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities. He was an utterly incapable, unadapted, irresponsible, psychopathic personality, full of empty, infantile fantasies, but cursed with the keen intuition of a rat or a guttersnipe. He represented the shadow, the inferior part of everybody’s personality, in an overwhelming degree, and this was another reason why they fell for him.”
