N.Korea Says Sure of Winning Nuclear War with U.S.
2003-02-17
Sun February 16, 2003 10:57 PM ET SEOUL (Reuters) -
North Korea said on Monday that victory would be certain for the communist state in any nuclear war with the United States thanks to Pyongyang's "army-first" political system.
Oh obviously
"Victory in a nuclear conflict will be ours and the red flag of army-first politics will flutter ever more vigorously," state radio said, reported by South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
hurrah for the dear leader who cares so for his countrymen that he lets them starve
"Our victory is certain and the future ever more radiant," it said, touting the dominance of the army in the world's most heavily militarized society.
radiant like a mushroom cloud
The million-strong Korean People's Army is the world's fifth-largest, with nearly one in 20 North Koreans in uniform and spending on defense consuming as much as a quarter of the impoverished state's annual budget.
Yeah, but the US must be to blame, somehow...

#5  The thunderdome society, if I recall correctly, was powered by methane generated by pigshit. Since the NKors are running out of oil, what will their powerplants be fueled with in the very near future?

#4  Maybe the starvation/juche idea is strategy - keep em so thin that there's little surface area for radiation to affect

#2  Army first, in this case, means the army gets scragged first.
