More on the North Korean Military Posture:

— The majority of North Korea’s military infrastructure is deep underground.

— Every Korean, from the age of 14, undergoes 100 hours of training each year in how to shoot weapons, fire an RPG, throw a hand grenade, pitch a tent, and other military survival skills.

— The North Korean Air Force is significantly outdated with only approximately some 1,000 old fighter jets. They would not be used for air combat, but instead used as “Kamikaze-style” attacks (and mostly on Seoul). They would load the jets with a lot of fuel, bombs, and direct the pilot to their target. Such attacks on Seoul (some 25 million people and highly productive that it would magnify the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. and on a grand scale.

— The North has between 2,500 and 5,000 tons of chemical and biological weapons materials.

— The North has a massive artillery and rocket inventory that mostly threaten Seoul, which happens to be one of the largest advanced metropolitan areas in the world with some 25 million people. 

— The North has some 1.3 million active duty military in uniform and approximately 7.7 million in their reserve units. Additionally, they have 200,000 Special Forces.

— North Korea does not really have the nuclear capability to hit the U.S. that they constantly brag about and a short window does exist for them to cease that production and start talks with the South and the U.S. – that is if they want to broker any deal with the U.S. – in short – they need to do it now.

Overall, and in the event of all-out war, that country would stay loyal to Kim, Jong-un in the immediate short term.

FYI: The North has a unique system wherein five to 10 families are organized into a group. If a single person from that group misbehaves the entire five or 10 families go to a prison (or gulag) or off to be executed. Therefore, everybody spies on everybody else to protect their group – that is the regime’s well-oiled mechanism for keeping the people under their firm control. 

My conclusions are reinforced in these two updates:

The first one is quite scary indeed.

The second is troublesome, too in light of recent events.

Sadly, Donald J. Trump needs a war – any war, to prove himself at home and aboard – that need is ingrained in every Republican “leader” as history has shown for their weak and unpopular “leaders in the White House.”

War and tax cuts for their top brand are two mainstays for the GOP – it always has been.

Trump talks big about problem solving — clue: He is the problem.

Thanks for stopping by.
