Oh, indeed, quite right. Of course, no doubt they have access to optical
equipment, such as binoculars, during their six years of compulsory military
service, but they probably can only use them for official purposes.

Doubtless, North Korea's military shares one characteristic with that of Soviet
Russia. Thus, while there are some factors that mitigate against this, like the
giant artillery pieces pointed at Seoul, that South Korea could overrun North
Korea in a blitzkrieg attack if it could manage to move fast enough to secure
control over the country...


Of course, drive over some nasty land mines, incl. nuclear, blow half of S-Korea army to pieces!


before the trusted secret police aides to each
military unit unlocked the safes where the ammunition is kept (mustn't have the
soldiers overthrowing the government, after all)... while unlikely, would be a
delightful possibility.

By the time the North Koreans had shot half of their own countrymen in the back as they flee, there would be no bullets left to fight any invaders.

Not to worry. Baby Kim can easily find shelter in South America, China or Russia, if it all goes south. All it needs is for Dumpty to kill millions of innocent NK people first.

He can't even manage Puerto Rico after a little storm. Let alone feed tens of millions of starving and brainwashed NK refugees!

I hope he makes Hanoi briefly the most light-polluted city on Earth. Get it?

How old is your atlas?

Or is it because you can't spell Pyongyang? ;-)
