Out of all that, the artillery scares me the most.

Should have recruited Metta World Peace

The bi-plane may be the way to go. I don't think the US has anything that can go that slow without falling out of the sky

The raw numbers are pretty intimidating, but when you consider that the North has absolutely no means of projecting that firepower any further than 50 kms from their coastline...and then factor in that the majority of that hardware has been sitting idly for the last 25+ years since the Soviet Union fell...you begin to see why any kind of North Korean action would be tantamount to nation-state suicide. The best they could hope to do is rain a ton of artillery down on South Korea and up the body count...at which point China and Russia HAVE to let them die or risk losing all standing in the international community.

Plus you also have to consider food, ammo, and fuel. You're completely right, who knows what condition a lot of that hardware is in?

So if China and Russia help NK, they would bring themselves down with the US, right? That should be a pretty logical reason for them not to retaliate. I would feel terrible for all the innocent North Koreans who'll lose their lives because of one young, unexperienced idiot in Kim Jong Un.

All this talk, and he still hasn't done shiit. My question is, he pushed it so far this time. If nothing amounts from this time, is anyone going to give a f what he says after this? Even the media will be clowning him, he has no way out.

He's already a joke, but you have to take these things seriously because there's probably going to be an instance where he lives up to his claims.

helicopters? v-22? :D

I actually think that there is huge power struggle right now in NK. Maybe some elite's and generals are not happy with Kim Jong Un. Maybe the focus is to get internal support from own people by showing how vicious and determined he can be?
