South Korea + United Nations forces from the UK, Australia, USA, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey.

They were never beaten and the Korean War has never ended.

So you can see they have a rather self inflated ego of invincibility.

Only with China coming from next door and sending cannon fodder.

Ok yes I did actually mean within the last 50 years or so using modern technology. Wouldn't a few well placed precision air strikes pretty much instantly cripple them if needs be?

They have a huge army and one that would not rely on transport to get south I think. I am no military expert but few strikes I think would not scratch the surface if they started south. I just hope they have not found a way to dig any more tunnels without being detected.

If they started south, I believe they would push well across the border. However, and army moves on logistics, which they do not have, so they would stall quickly. This would be mainly an air war. Encircle and pin down their main units, cut off any support coming from the north and begin attriting them from the sky. They would stall in 2-3 days and be remnants within 1-2 weeks.

"At around 8.30 pm on 23 April, the forward companies of the Glosters were withdrawn from their positions after suffering heavy casualties. Apart from A and D Companies, C Company, under Major Paul Mitchell, retreated as well, but because of enemy pressure it was impossible for B Company, under Major Denis Harding, to disengage and join the battalion's remaining elements on and near Hill 235, a position between the Imjin and the Seolmacheon stream that became known as Gloster Hill. The men of B Company (including a young Lofty Large) were able to drive off seven Chinese assaults on their position before they were also able to withdraw to Hill 235 the next morning. Only 17 men of B Company remained in action after reaching the remainder of the battalion."

It really is laughable. Imagine if anyone else had made that threat - people probably would take it rather badly but everyone knows N.Korea are not even remotely capable.

Have N.Korea ever actually fought anyone in real life?

I would imagine it would be very similar to my experiences the first time I played Forza online against actual people.

Offline against the computer - driving god.

'Yeah! time to show these suckers online how its done'

Then....

'WTF why am I being left behind!' Usually end up last, possibly upside down in some gravel....

Maybe you need to upgrade your internet connection?

Well they started it.... A cargo ship smuggling some weapons and two old MiG21s was seized around the Panama Canal in 2013 and the Owners recently sanctioned. I quite like the MiG21 and have nothing but admiration for those who would willingly travel at mach 2 in one....

The Chong Chan Gang has had an interesting life in the last few years... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chong_Chon_Gang

The Lofty Large book is a cracker - well worth a read 'Soldier Against the Odds'.

Behold...

The Choco Pie crisis...

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/30/south...

This could get nasty...Kim Jong un to shell balloon launch sites if they don't stop the pie bomb sorties...

I reckon there was a bit of a communications problem here, the fat little dictator obviously ate all the pies.
