South Korea better build some defenses and invest in detection.

Also NATO doesn't have any problems bombing military units in cities, they have a lot of practice since early 90s.

EDIT: North Korea has a air force as well, about 1,600 / 1,700 aircraft of different types, and according to wiki --> North Korea operates a wide variety of air defence equipment, from short-range MANPADS and ZPU-4 machine guns, to long-range SA-5 Gammon SAM systems and large-calibre AA artillery guns. DPRK has one of the densest air defence networks in the world.
A large part of the ground attack aircraft are kept in heavily fortified hangars, some of which are capable of withstanding a nearby nuclear blast.

Does anyone here actually believe NATO has the balls to ground invade NK?
If you think Irak/Afghanistan were hard to 'assimilate' North Korea is on a whole other level, as in never or it would take 40 years after occupation. Oh and by the way, after the first 50,000 NATO troops are dead the call from home to get the 'fuck out of there' means that the South would be abandoned... Just like what happened in Vietnam.
Does anyone here have any idea what 1,1 million troops (most of them fanatical) means? It means WW2 scale operations. Not fighting 20,000 taliban on goats. Perfect time for countries that don't like NATO (Iran/ex-Soviet block/China/South America) to make shit happen elsewhere, trust me, it should be you guys not wanting this war, not North Korea.
EDIT: grammer

All NK needs is good anti-air and NATO is fucked, I read earlier in the thread something about the North invading and taking the South hostage, if they get into the cities its game over, what will NATO do? Bomb the southern cities?
Ground invasion means a lot of dead Americans and new episodes of MASH, nothing else.
EDIT: again, not talking about 20,000 taliban on goats, but 1,1 million serious troops who will have more than enough supplies just by raping/pillaging the southern countryside bare

This should become the "official thread" for North-Korea stuff. What do you think Mods? Good or bad idea? I feel like Teamliquid doesn't need few new threads each month when stuff is happening, when you could just update one single thread and have the discussion there. Would be way better and easier to follow the whole 'situation' anyway.

I think this is a very good idea.Seems like every week or so NK does something new now a days. Be way more efficient to just have on thread for it as opposed to starting a bunch of new ones all the time.

North Korea has built a huge "security perimeter" around a camp for political prisoners, restricting movement in nearby villages as part of its "general repression" of its people, according to Amnesty International, the London-based rights watchdog.

The reclusive country's network of political prison camps is believed to hold at least 200,000 people and has been the scene of rapes, torture, executions and slave labour, Navi Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said in January.

Analysis of new satellite images of the area near Camp No 14 in Kaechon shows that the government is "blurring the lines" between its camps and surrounding civilians, Amnesty International said on Thursday.

NKs army numbers are ridiculous. They only have like what, 10mil people who are male and fit for army? And 9.4mil of those are counted into their army strenght? That's just ridiculous, that's like saying China has a 500 million soldier reserve. I really don't think they can afford proper equipment for everyone, with a military budget of 1/4 that of SKs(and 1% of that of US's)? With all their military equipment and vehicle numbers being approximates and likely very exaggerated(an example would be the 1700 aircraft number, when in reality only 23 of those are usable fighters from like 40 years ago when even Finland has 64 from 1995). I'd say that SKs 650k standing army and 3.2mil reserve are far more credible numbers and I doubt they'd even need US's help if it came down to it.
