If I were Dennis Rodman I'd stay the hell away from there! Why is it that Iran doesn't set off nuclear bombs are almost attacked by the US and Israel, but when North Korea actually detonate a nuclear device, nobody does anything??? HHmmmmm veddy veddy strange

Well if they do another Nuke test then China may pull their support. China is the only thing stopping an attack on the DPRK and they may get desperate if they loose them.edit on 16-12-2013 by iRoyalty because: (no reason given)

I'm not sure if that is the case. I remember reading a report some time back in which a think tank tried to crunch some numbers in a U.S vs DPRK scenario. Even if China stayed out of it, the U.S and South Korea would stand to take something like 300,000 casualties in a land invasion of North Korea, a war so costly that most U.S citizens would strongly oppose such an action.
Those figures are mentioned here: link

FREE NORTH KOREA NOW! I would not mind a Chinese Invasion of this hell hole of a country. Although I would rather it be the UN. The Chinese Govt may not be a shining example of democracy especially with Tianammen Square Revolution being so brutally supressed and thousands killed. But at least in China there is more openness and an echo of normalcy. In North Korea there is none. At least I will say one thing for it. You can leave your front door open and never fear of your house being burgled. There is no crime wave in North Korea. In such a brutal dictatorship such as that, you do not dare do so. Unless you want to face public execution by firing squad.

I'd say that's a likely situation. However we have bombers and jets that would crush Pyongyang and military complexes quickly, we would hardly have to invade the DPRK by foot. We could crush a lot of their forces before we plot a land invasion, however that is just my own speculation. I am no military expert.
'Human bullets and bombs'
In a separate event on Monday, members of the North Korean military -- the Korean People's Army -- swore to uphold Kim as leader and to defend him unto death at a meeting at Kumsusan Palace, reported the North Korean state news agency, KCNA. The participants "solemnly pledged to become human bullets and bombs" and to know only Kim, according to KCNA.

I agree with that. They will take everyone down with them. Most are completely loyal to the Kim regime and will die at whatever cost to win. Even "human bullets and bombs". Suicide warfare would happen indefinitely I believe.
