North Korea does not publish economic data. North Korea has the fourth largest military in the world. You can check out the strict discipline and training at korea-dpr.com .

I used to be a Juche communist ^^;;

I'm interested to hear why you think this so.

BTW, didn't Canada have the fourth largest military by the end of WWII? :wink:

north korea does indeed have the 4th largest army, by some methods of counting.
from wiki*

ACTIVE PERSONELL:
1. PRC 2,2 million troops.
2. USA 1,4 million troops.
3. India 1,3 million troops.
3. North Korea: 1,1 million troops

followed by south K, and russia, both w 1 million.

total military power, including reserves and paramilitary:
1. Iran 12,2 million troops.
2. Vietnam 9,5 million troops
3. North Korea 9 million troops (out of a population of 23 million. i love it)
4. PRC 7 million troops,
...
8. USA 3,3 million troops.

NK hits the top 4 twice.

*any comment like "you cant trust wiki!" gets a kick in the balls. these are statistics, based on counts. youll find the same numbers on any list you check.

We will be lucky if China doesn't take the rest of the world in the next decade. They are too many without any respect for human rights. I have seen a documentary which said that chinese people can eat everything they want, they just get more muscle and not fat. We are screwd

Is anyone really going to believe the idea that North Korea is going to conscript half its entire population into a halfway decent army? They can't even feed themselves LOL

of course they will conscript half the entire population. its "kimland". he will shoot you in the balls if you dont obey, and join the ranks. theyre starving NOW, do you think "lil kim" will care if they starve during WARTIME?

NK aint no "democracy", its probably as far from it as you can possibly get. doing stuff BY FORCE is no stranger to NK.

finland also has a ridiculously high ammount of their population as a reserve. its not as difficult as it looks.

I don't doubt they'd do it, I just doubt the results will be all that spectacular.

they WILL do it, only, it wont be spectacular ;)

its probably a plan for a long-drawn war. they wont shower a wave of 10 million men across the border, in one EPIC scene

most likely its meant for a long drawn decade, or two, or three. its mostly just pure manpower, and AK's.

I agree. How many flawed people in your military do you have if 1/2 the population is in it. Not a very selective army. They are also all stationed on the same tiny piece of land, pretty easy to take out with a few missiles. They are also so brainwashed, the US Military could broadcast a sound-a-like of Kim telling them kill themselves, and many would probably do it.

Looks like China wants to start a war with the USA.

China is now harassing our ships in International waters.

You know, one the surface the two countries appear to hate each other, but deep below... they are thickest friends.

Those vessels were trawlers and Not chinese naval vessels. Reminds me of the incident 21 years ago when a US destroyer was rammed by a Soviet warship. You ARE aware IdahoAspie of what happened last year when a Russian bomber buzzed a US Aircraft Carrier AND was interecepted flying 50 miles off the west coast aren you....
