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. |
You're comparing two different types of war. North Korea doesn't have the ability to launch, execute and successfully accomplish a Guerrilla Warfare style campaign. Their mission is best achieved, funding, supplying(Dirty bomb, Funds, etc), and 'praying', that ( through a 3rd party source) will maybe be able to help accomplish their goals.
If you really think 9/11 was orchestrated by a group of Afghanistan cave dwellers, then maybe you too should read into 'the full story'.
North Korea will have no choice but to fight an conventional war, if they are the first to launch an attack. They'll be secluded to an island that can produce NO oil(I could continue to list more disadvantages), once that single element is removed from the table. It will only be a matter of time before the country's infrastructure collapses, which leaves them with two options. Surrender or launch a nuclear attack. The US already has a secure LZ in the south, with the ability to stage and launch a full land, air, and sea attack, so invading them wouldn't be out of the question. Not to mention China's obligation as a super power to help keep world peace.
It's a lose, lose situation. They are only doing this to try to get attention on the world stage. Nothing will ever come to fruition and this is just accomplishing their goals.
