There is more than one way to win a war.  No idea what the N Koreans are really up to. This could all be a dog and pony show to distract from something else they have up their sleeve.
But if they went toe to toe, you are correct, they would lose unless the USA was dumb enough to try to invade them, which won't happen because they have no resources that the USA wants, yet. |
So true on many levels.
The "war" wasn't to kill millions, it was to incite fear and violence and allow the US to show their true colors. It worked... it crippled the US on several different levels...money, reputation, reliability.
Suddenly everything went from "hunky dory" to "OMFG everybody is trying to kill us". Banks went under, the US military basically broke the bank funding a bullshit war that had nothing to with nothing. Do not get me wrong, I feel for every person that lost their life on 9/11.
The entire thing is just such a joke.
It will take years upon years to regain a reputation that was lost, and that's providing it can even happen.
