S Korea is another story. Unaided, the north might have a chance, and a reunited Korea is something the north has wanted for a while. The midget’s father tried, but was not successful in doing it.

Better check your facts........South Korea would do JUST FINE without the US or other Western Allies. The south has 700k Active Troops, and 3 million or so reserves.

They also have 600-700 modern aircraft, including f4, f5, f15, f16 and their own f50.

They also have 11k or 12k artillery pieces, including 155mm self propelled howitzers.....similar to our M109 Paladins.

They also have a formidable navy.

I don't know if the South can actually fight, but they have used their forces around the world as peace keepers, and even had a number in support roles in IRAQ.

I think if the North really wanted a battle, they'd get their BUTT KICKED.......but you know what, they don't.

NOT saying the North would not do damage......the WOULD, but I think the south could and would do SERIOUS damage to the North.
