Kim Jong-il spends £120,000 on pet food while rest of country starves!

[Korean]

could it not be caused by the tightening of sanctions or natural disasters?

NK was never able to produce enough food to be self-sufficient and had to import food. The sanctions dried up the flow of hard foreign currency, and this is the reason for the ongoing starvation.

NK will starve as long as the West imposes sanctions.

Yes, a retired South Korean admiral.

No, his son.

his daughter's marrage to a retired admiral is unlikely to change that and his country's policies.

It is a simple illustration that Putin has nothing personal against Koreans.

Moreover, America will find it hard to set foot on the ground or match PLA and DPRK in terms of numbers.

The US won't send a large ground force. The only ground force that's coming immediately is the US Marines stationed at Futenma, whose job is to seize NK nukes and other WMDs. The US reinforcement is mostly combat fighter jets plus two carriers. ROK ground forces are strong enough to battle 1.5 million communist troops, so no immediate ground force reinforcement is planned or needed.

Doing nothing is also the best solution for America.

The warplan in place says US forces are jumping in, starting with the Futenma marines.

That is your own assumption and yet to be witnessed let alone be believed.

It's not an assumption, but a warplan actually drilled annually.

Win the war in 1 week?

Yes. Shocking, but true.

America would have made Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya out of them by now.

Iraq and Afghanistan are wars of religion, where the enemy combatants are willing to fight to the end and die for Allah. There is no religion in North Korea.

Sir ASEAN isn't a military alliance you know that right ? Laos, Burma, lifelines are China I hope you understand unless Vietnam can be their lifelines then ASEAN merely is just another Economic Union.

Do you think he would allow his daughter dating a non-white? Perhaps you think you are white...

Maybe you failed to notice that your fellow Chinese poster Obambam knew the story to be true.

or they can fly a plane?

The plane cannot penetrate the airspace. Everything that crosses the certain line will be shot down by the air defense.

Why would China nuke the South?

Ask your fellow Chinese poster ChineseTiger1986. He is convinced that PLA would use nukes to achieve a quick victory and show the world Chinese strength.

North Korea doesn't need a nuke to get South Korea, Seoul is within the range of the North Korean Artillery just up the hills from the DMZ.

Actually most of those shells cannot hit Seoul because Korean government put a bed town consisting of hundreds of 30-story tall residential buildings that would block most of shells.

They just need to buy time to take out 300 or so artillery.
