@SuperNostalgia. I love this expression of faith. And no doubt it took courage on your part to express that faith publicly, considering how society's view of religion has changed in recent years. However, I believe the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ and God and two separate people. Jesus said: "the Father is greater than I am"-John 14:28 The Bible even says that Jesus had "godly fear".-Hebrews 5:7 When complimented, Jesus said: "Why do you call me good? Nobody is good except one, God."-Mark 10:18 I hope to hear back from you, and I appreciate it if you've read this far. I would love to hear your thoughts on these verses. Knowing Jesus identity is a vital part of our salvation, so it's always good to discuss it, whether we have the same views or not.
The video is high quality but the research is low-mid. He ignores the fact that it is China that has allowed NK to exist as long as it has and that it is China that makes any move on NK impossible without starting a major global war.
seeing the "click baitish" title i wast expecting too much but i gotta admit that this was very well thought and professionally put together. Subscribed.
Agreed, I hate clickbait, and often watch or scan a few bits of s video and so often just move on. But this one did get my attention. Good, ,realistic and credible analysis of what goes on in North Korea.
I wouldn't be surprised if there are massive tunnels leading into NK from china. Like... if someone invades NK, china will literally just transport xx% of their army within a few days without anyone seeing via air. This is where russia failed. We saw everything from satellite images (yet did nothing about it lol). Going against NK would probably be the start of the longest war in history.
@@stonefox9124 they can send millions of men die unlike usa and it would quickly become long war and very unpopular and it would drag china into the war which would drag the war even longer
I got really interested in studying North Korea and your video about North Korea is top quality despite your channel being so small. I'm a subscriber to your channel now
I had to stop the video when I glanced at the number of subscribers. I almost finished watching the video and was shocked to see you have so few subscribers. The quality of the video and information is so good, I assumed it was from a bigger channel Subscribed.
"The only way it happens is from within." But the problem is that any sort of population uprising or insurrection would be quickly crushed before even getting going or even gaining momentum. The population are also told everything and don't they have little to no information with the outside world???
Would this make America scary for being easily influenced by the outside world? For example, tiktok? Made by the Chinese government. There is a big division among the Americans. I live in America, and I'm scared of the future, and I mean my future.
What does the North korean leader not have? *a Seoul* Edit: This is the 2nd most liked comment I’ve ever got. I need 89 for it to beat my most liked one! Edit 2: 100 LIKES?? THANK YOU
North Korea is afraid of South Korea that’s why they made nukes. South Korea has the best weapons in the world even better than USA. You Russians should be careful if SK arm Ukraine Russia is gonna have very hard times.
He is not a leader. Just like those elsewhere. Just a Narcissistic Psychopath like the others. True leaders are kept away from Government by the Narcissistic Collective
There's a comment I found interesting in ATP 7-100.2 (the US Army document used as a source). It says that "another reason that the current leader is treated so reverently is that life for the average North Korean has improved under Kim Jong Un, as compared to the famine of 1994-1998 during his father’s regime-which many North Koreans still remember". I was reminded of it when the Michael Malice quote came up as both relate to food security. Perhaps this is an element of why the state hasn't fallen, and probably won't in the near future? Then again maybe things have become significantly worse since ATP 7-100.2 was published (Jul 2020)
Unfortunately, that regime will never fall - China supports it, they survived famine, and people were brainwashed by generations and every nation doesn't mind if the North Korean regime will exist, even the South - they just can't afford reunion - North is super poor. For the USA North Korea is the perfect scarecrow, for China - loyal neighbor, who you always may ask to scare the USA by nuclear test, for Russia - also friendly neighbor.
Oh believe me the state will fall!! Maybe not under Kim but soon enough. You can only fool people for so long before reality comes knocking at their door in forms of suffering
Actually a pretty compelling video. I didn't really think about it this way, especially since there are so many myths about the Kims. Hard to really tell what's real, y'know? Good job bro, this video was insanely professional.
"Kleos, your insightful and deep dive into the intricacies of North Korean politics, history, and socio-economic structure is commendable. The level of detail and research in this video feels unparalleled. It's interesting to see the role global superpowers play in shaping the narrative and decision-making.

The tunnels are of limited value. The entrances and exits can be easily located by satellite or drone surveillance, and are vulnerable to airstrikes. Keep in mind that South Korea has access to US intel and a large, modern, well-trained air force. North Korea, on the other hand, depends mostly on obsolete cold-war era aircraft and its pilots have little training due to chronic spare parts and fuel shortages. But on the other points Kleos is correct - the mountainous terrain and their soldiers' willingness to endure suffering and keep fighting are the Norks' greatest assets. That and the fact that no one wants their damn country anyway.
They had nuclear now, that's why, its not that complicated. US and its allies tread very carefully againt nation that has this kind of arsenal, but they will be not hesitate at all to bulldoze any "unfriendly" nation such as Vietnam, Afganistan, Iraq, Libya or Syria
8:32 That's essentially what will happen. The regime only looks to stall as much as they can to maintain their power, but once they cannot do so anymore, they will run out of options.
The reason why i subscribed is we are on the same direction i like making these type of videos and learn about countries behaviour, or enter thr world of geopolitical,
I know you brought up negotiations skills but I would have wanted to hear more about Chinese and North Korean relations since North Korea I often heard depend on China a lot
I heard it's not a very good fun fact that a lot of the eastern block during the Cold War had a tense relationship with North Korea Kim I'll Sung wasn't the puppet the USSR wanted. In terms of China Mao supposedly called Kim a bad communist apparently for owning American cars and living a luxurious life. Kim asked Mao to help them develop nukes and Mao was like hell no that still does not sit well with China today that North Korea was able to successfully do that. In the late 1970s North Korea and China had a minor border dispute regarding Mount Paektu which at that time majority of the mountain was on China's side it was a mountain that held a special place for all Koreans so obviously North Korea wanted most of the mountain. China and NK set up a meeting where they would deal with this matter in preparation Deng asked his staff to go find the documents signed 200 years prior by The Qing Dynasty and Joseon Korea regarding the border but turns out they were either not kept properly or was damaged during the Cultural Revolution so China technically had no legal basis to own Mount Paektu and trough the North Koreans shrewd diplomacy they got the Chinese to agree to their demands which gives DPRK control over most of the mountain but today Chinese nationalist is not very happy how that meeting went down and blames their government for showing weakness and caving to the Koreans they also call for renegotiation with DPRK.
I’m going to draw everyone’s attention to DPRK’s aging Weapons stockpiles. A few months ago, a DPRK ship carrying artillery munitions was seized and its Cargo munitions handed to the Ukrainian Military, the Ukrainian Army quickly ditched using the rounds because the DPRK rounds had a dud rate in the high 40 percentile range. Keep that in mind
well... they have the Chinese's backing... if war broke out, it'd be a repeat of the 50's Korean War (the war didn't actually end... yada... yada...) And the CCP is happy to provide for the DPRK, even if they ain't so happy with certain things... ( I might say the old imperial tributary system might even be in place... )
The only reason they still "back them" is to not have a US ally on their borders, but even China is done with their activity. In the case of a war, I doubt China will help them out. It'd cost too much money that they will never get back and in the scenario they win the reward is not worth it. China is too smart to get involved and waste resources on a land the entire world, including themselves, see as a nuisance.
The tributary system only meant countries had the right to trade with Imperial China and they would send gifts to the Emperor but he must give them a gift of greater value in return and they must respect the authority of the Emperor. The Emperor must respect that particular king as the rightful ruler of his kingdom
Great video. I have watched a lot of stuff on NK and this is the most interesting one about their military and defenses. Never knew about the tunnels into the south. I wonder if the south has tunnels into the north? Probably.
I doubt the south would have tunnel on the North, North Korea is the most secure country in the world, with 24 hour active patrol, both infantry and in the sky, plus the South want to do anything in its power to prevent a war.
That's kind of a dumb statement, if you think about it: "North Korea has tunnels that lead to South Korea, but has South Korea have tunnels that lead to North Korea?" Duh, these tunnels aren't one way. Every Tunnel from the north leading to the south can be used for the opposite direction.
Yeh … what a shame …. Now no one pays any attention to them … all that military might and they still couldn’t even win a game of tiddly winks… look at the mess they left in Afghanistan….hey … but they said the job was done …! ( oh dear ! )
I consider it no coincidence that North Korea is basically built like one of Yi Sun-sin's famed turtle ships. With China to two sides and Japan on another, historically speaking, defense is a much greater concern than expansion for anyone on the Korean peninsula, and we humans always draw from what we have grown up around.
You do know that North Korea invaded South Korea first right? In fact the commies had driven the capitalists all the way to sea but the US came and pushed the DPRK all the way to the China border then China and the DPRK push the US and South Koreans all the way to the current border.
I mean The United States and The United Nations did invaded and almost conquered North Korea, but then China came in and pushed us back. Don't think it's much about territorial issues but rather diplomatic chain reactions that could easily spiral out of control.
I don't really see why NK is impossible to conquer from this video. Don't get me wrong, the video is interesting etc. but: 1) Tunnels -> what do we care if they hide tanks or can lunch jest from tunnels? Those tanks and jets are trash and will be destroyed the moment they appear. And even if a jet suddenly lunches behind a F-35 or F-16, does anyone really think it has any chances still? They can hide in tunnels? Well yes, they can maybe but if the attacking force really will want to win, it will identify those tunnels slowly and just collapse the entrances without even needing to enter them. 2) North Korea has a huge army but doesn't have the food nor the ammo or fuel or logistics for a long fight. Besides it is one thing to have 1 million soldiers on paper and another to equip or train them. Russia just has shown us that and it is supposed to be the 2nd military power in the world and is light years away from NK technologically and militarily. 3) Yes, NK could maybe lunch an attack from the tunnels on the SK side, but it would be reppeled because SK has an excellent army + the US has troops there. Of course it would be chaos etc. but again -> NK has outdated equipment and is low on ammo, which makes it easy for SK and the US to defend after the initial surprise. Again -> it won't be without heavy casualties but it will ultimately end that way. 4) Propaganda and brainwashing is of course important but it won't be the US that will invade NK. The US will support and maybe send some troops etc. but it will mainly be SK that will occupy territory. Which means that SK citizens will have a "brotherly" occupation force which makes things very different than if it was outsiders. 5) The people of NK are quite aware of how the world looks like on the other side of their borders. They are also mass dying from hunger, have no hospitals etc. so they will rather easilly accept the first occupation force, especially SK, that will take care of them. And so on, so on. NK can be conquered. The real tragedy is that no one is interested in doing that. SK would have to bear an enormous cost, first militarily and second financially to win the war and then start changing NK into a modern country. There would be also a long and very hard to withstand partisan war with parts of the NK regime. And of course there is the risk nuclear weapons will be used, or that China will get involved. So when we look at it and how poor a country NK is, then there is just no sense at all to try to conquer it. And that could be why we could say it is "unconquerable" but not the reasons mentionned in the video. No one cares about NK and the poor people of that country.
When North Korea bombed South Korea island in year 2010 many South Korean soldiers wanted to go to war against the NK but USA stopped it many South Korean soldiers became anti USA after that. It seems USA just wanted to divide two Koreas forever. North Korean defector said that NK soldiers feared SK when SK retaliated with K9 Howitzers and killed more than 20 NK soldiers in 2010.
It goes beyond reuniting Korea, South Korea can roll right on up to the Yalu on their own, but just like in 1951 you have to deal with the Maoist and just like in 1951 they'll send their army marching across the Yalu. The main problem being this time is nuclear weapons in both North Korea and Maoist China, would the possible loss of Soul be worth rolling up to the Yalu?
@@oveidasinclair982 even after the Korean War South Korea wanted to defeat all Chinese and go all the way but USA stopped it. That’s why only South Korea refused to signed the armistice while China North Korea USA signed jt. It’s pretty clear USA just want to divide two Koreas and take advantage of the tensions in Korean Peninsula.
So North Korea could become an even more advanced version of Peleliu, Iwo Jima, or Okinawa? That would be a really terrifying scenario, especially since those places were bloodbaths with some of the highest casualty figures of World War II with regard to the forces involved.
The americans actually suffered way more casualties against the Germans than the Japanese. The americans had 400,000 dead in ww2, 300,000 of those were against the Germans and almost 60,000 in just the battle of the bulge alone
not only that, they have tons of artillery pointed directly at Seoul, which is very close to the DMZ. A new Korean War would be horrible (not even considering the nuclear weapons)
North Korea is perfectly conquerable, we did so back in the 50's and had the North Koreans pushed all the way back to the border with China. The only reason that they were able to push back at all is because China sent in 300,000 troops to help. Rome was thought to be unconquerable too, Hannibal proved them wrong. There isn't a single place on this entire Earth that can't be invaded with enough resources and the most difficult country to invade is the United States with the only reasonable routes to invade being through Alaska and Mexico. Improbable doesn't mean impossible.
@@jarrodwilson2382 America could actually had swept Vietnam off but the thing was that they were in fear that if they did get too close (just like they did to NK) they would be involved with another giant war and even more deaths would be conflicted more than in our current timeline. So it was more like an endless war and trying to make South Vietnam work like South Korea but the problem was the French puppet were too corrupted and basically hated by vietnamese because 1. They were French and 2. They were Catholic. So in reality it was more difficult to explain than that US lost in vietnam even with 40 allies because of their military but in reality it was politics in that war that made them lose. Also dont lie about China loving Vietnam, Vietnamese and Chinese hate each other lmfao.
2 words: "Bunker Busters" They can penetrate 60m+ reinforced bunkers and was used to takeout the iraqi high command in the 1st gulf war. Its not gonna be easy, but its not impossible either. You also only need to collapse each end of the tunnel/entrance, then its useless. (atleast for the airstrip exits and 1-exit deployment tunnels)
the only major reason north korea had managed to stand was due to them being backed by the soviet union and china even then the korean war was basically a stalemate
When and when will Korea be unified? I am so sick of this on-going war! Germany was so lucky to be unified for 35 to 45 years now and they did not experience an on-going war like Korea did! So sad!
@@baekdumountaintiger5701 Facts. Not even South Korea wants it. The cost of reunification would far exceed what Germany experienced. East German were at least educated and not malnourished and brain washed. South Korea would be bankrupt for generation incorporating the North. Not to mention, China and Japan would experience significant destabilization from the influx of millions from a broken country. Also, the North has a vast biological weapons programs that would unleash hell on the region if they were to use them as a means of last resort.
Honestly the most important point is left out: its neighbours are the friendly (overall, with ups and downs in the last decades) China and Russia. If they were opposed as NK is to the US, it would have crumbled. It also imports a lot of resources from them.
That is incorrect. The USS PUEBLO is still on the Naval Registry as a Commissioned vessel of the United States Navy that has been captured and is temporarily in enemy hands. It is still property of the United States Government, even though it’s being used as a museum in Pyongyang.
no, it is not. It never declared independence. they should have done that in the 60s. and could have negotiated with china for mutual recognition and access to the UN like the Germans and koreans @@martinputt6421
Now the Chinese government can use the precedent of Navono Carabath and the Croatians in Operation Storm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Storm @martinputt6421

It'd cost too much money that they will never get back and in the scenario they win the reward is not worth it. China is too smart to get involved and waste resources on a land the entire world, including themselves, see as a nuisance.
The tributary system only meant countries had the right to trade with Imperial China and they would send gifts to the Emperor but he must give them a gift of greater value in return and they must respect the authority of the Emperor. The Emperor must respect that particular king as the rightful ruler of his kingdom
Great video. I have watched a lot of stuff on NK and this is the most interesting one about their military and defenses. Never knew about the tunnels into the south.
I wonder if the south has tunnels into the north? Probably.
It'd be cool if they had a stargate :O
I doubt the south would have tunnel on the North, North Korea is the most secure country in the world, with 24 hour active patrol, both infantry and in the sky, plus the South want to do anything in its power to prevent a war.
That's kind of a dumb statement, if you think about it:
"North Korea has tunnels that lead to South Korea, but has South Korea have tunnels that lead to North Korea?"
Duh, these tunnels aren't one way. Every Tunnel from the north leading to the south can be used for the opposite direction.
That sign, "Invasion Tunnel" had me🤣🤣
The USA almost lost every war after WWII.
Yeh … what a shame …. Now no one pays any attention to them … all that military might and they still couldn’t even win a game of tiddly winks… look at the mess they left in Afghanistan….hey … but they said the job was done …! ( oh dear ! )
The biggest American quotes: if you can't conquer them, destroy them 😅😂😂
What a ridiculous thing to say.
U say what
That’s not negotiating skill, that’s called little boy throwing tantrum
That defense system was a pretty good move ngl
Impressive job man. Do you plan on uploading more often this year?
Thanks...I'll try to upload atleast once a month
Keep this up, brother. Very educational and informative video combined with a top notch editing skill. 👍🏻
amazing editing and storytelling
so why tf do you only have 10k subs, here have mine
True❤
I consider it no coincidence that North Korea is basically built like one of Yi Sun-sin's famed turtle ships. With China to two sides and Japan on another, historically speaking, defense is a much greater concern than expansion for anyone on the Korean peninsula, and we humans always draw from what we have grown up around.
North korea has right to defend his country .
Well now, how are the people that were given the land treated by the ....leader ( he don't own the country )❤
You do know that North Korea invaded South Korea first right? In fact the commies had driven the capitalists all the way to sea but the US came and pushed the DPRK all the way to the China border then China and the DPRK push the US and South Koreans all the way to the current border.
It is not "defend its country", it is "harming other countries for no reason"
They don’t have a right to start a famine among its people just to live a luxurious life
@@angiebeneviento8978 they didn't start a famine. the famine started because ussr collapsed and us sanctioned food from entering
Absolutely no country is able to stop being able to stop an opposing force. Missiles have made that possible.
Hello, i really like this type of videos and i would like to start a channel with this type of editing. Any tips you could give me?
All these tunnels and bunkers but their logistics are a nightmare. They’ll just get starved out 😂
u should remember about Vietnam
@@therisencomrade3452 that wasn’t a conventional war, which this would be. You trolls need to stop bringing up irrelevant conflicts
You have a lot less views than you should have, keep it up!
Rocket man is smart enough to ever actually start a full scale war. The bunker busters would make short work of the tunnels that are near the DMZ
Keep on dreaming 😂
How can you have only 9200 subscribers but edit your videos so well?
Because is very superficial content.
I mean The United States and The United Nations did invaded and almost conquered North Korea, but then China came in and pushed us back. Don't think it's much about territorial issues but rather diplomatic chain reactions that could easily spiral out of control.
I don't really see why NK is impossible to conquer from this video.
Don't get me wrong, the video is interesting etc. but:
1) Tunnels -> what do we care if they hide tanks or can lunch jest from tunnels? Those tanks and jets are trash and will be destroyed the moment they appear. And even if a jet suddenly lunches behind a F-35 or F-16, does anyone really think it has any chances still? They can hide in tunnels? Well yes, they can maybe but if the attacking force really will want to win, it will identify those tunnels slowly and just collapse the entrances without even needing to enter them.
2) North Korea has a huge army but doesn't have the food nor the ammo or fuel or logistics for a long fight. Besides it is one thing to have 1 million soldiers on paper and another to equip or train them. Russia just has shown us that and it is supposed to be the 2nd military power in the world and is light years away from NK technologically and militarily.
3) Yes, NK could maybe lunch an attack from the tunnels on the SK side, but it would be reppeled because SK has an excellent army + the US has troops there. Of course it would be chaos etc. but again -> NK has outdated equipment and is low on ammo, which makes it easy for SK and the US to defend after the initial surprise. Again -> it won't be without heavy casualties but it will ultimately end that way.
4) Propaganda and brainwashing is of course important but it won't be the US that will invade NK. The US will support and maybe send some troops etc. but it will mainly be SK that will occupy territory. Which means that SK citizens will have a "brotherly" occupation force which makes things very different than if it was outsiders.
5) The people of NK are quite aware of how the world looks like on the other side of their borders. They are also mass dying from hunger, have no hospitals etc. so they will rather easilly accept the first occupation force, especially SK, that will take care of them.
And so on, so on. NK can be conquered. The real tragedy is that no one is interested in doing that. SK would have to bear an enormous cost, first militarily and second financially to win the war and then start changing NK into a modern country. There would be also a long and very hard to withstand partisan war with parts of the NK regime. And of course there is the risk nuclear weapons will be used, or that China will get involved. So when we look at it and how poor a country NK is, then there is just no sense at all to try to conquer it.
And that could be why we could say it is "unconquerable" but not the reasons mentionned in the video.
No one cares about NK and the poor people of that country.
@KleosYT This video is excellently done
Thoroughly researched! For that, I will SUBSCRIBE.
When North Korea bombed South Korea island in year 2010 many South Korean soldiers wanted to go to war against the NK but USA stopped it many South Korean soldiers became anti USA after that. It seems USA just wanted to divide two Koreas forever.
North Korean defector said that NK soldiers feared SK when SK retaliated with K9 Howitzers and killed more than 20 NK soldiers in 2010.
It goes beyond reuniting Korea, South Korea can roll right on up to the Yalu on their own, but just like in 1951 you have to deal with the Maoist and just like in 1951 they'll send their army marching across the Yalu. The main problem being this time is nuclear weapons in both North Korea and Maoist China, would the possible loss of Soul be worth rolling up to the Yalu?
@@oveidasinclair982 even after the Korean War South Korea wanted to defeat all Chinese and go all the way but USA stopped it. That’s why only South Korea refused to signed the armistice while China North Korea USA signed jt. It’s pretty clear USA just want to divide two Koreas and take advantage of the tensions in Korean Peninsula.
@@oveidasinclair982 USA is also forcing South Korea to pay for all USA military in South Korea while most of American soldiers are here for vacations…
Agree
I feel so bad for all Korean citizens"!!"
Yeah, you should cry a little.
This is as fascinating as it is horrifying
North korea: we are impossible to conquer.
US: ok .
Russia: you wot m8!?
So North Korea could become an even more advanced version of Peleliu, Iwo Jima, or Okinawa? That would be a really terrifying scenario, especially since those places were bloodbaths with some of the highest casualty figures of World War II with regard to the forces involved.
The americans actually suffered way more casualties against the Germans than the Japanese. The americans had 400,000 dead in ww2, 300,000 of those were against the Germans and almost 60,000 in just the battle of the bulge alone
Can you pls tell me how many meals a north Korean soldier has a day ?
@@lostvayne104 they're lucky if it's 1 😂
not only that, they have tons of artillery pointed directly at Seoul, which is very close to the DMZ. A new Korean War would be horrible (not even considering the nuclear weapons)
@UFCMania155 Source? There's a lot of mythology around north korea just because it's so secretive
North Korea is perfectly conquerable, we did so back in the 50's and had the North Koreans pushed all the way back to the border with China. The only reason that they were able to push back at all is because China sent in 300,000 troops to help. Rome was thought to be unconquerable too, Hannibal proved them wrong. There isn't a single place on this entire Earth that can't be invaded with enough resources and the most difficult country to invade is the United States with the only reasonable routes to invade being through Alaska and Mexico. Improbable doesn't mean impossible.
America was told by China to no go into there land that's why China atk America had 40 allies in Viet Nam they still lost
@@jarrodwilson2382 America could actually had swept Vietnam off but the thing was that they were in fear that if they did get too close (just like they did to NK) they would be involved with another giant war and even more deaths would be conflicted more than in our current timeline. So it was more like an endless war and trying to make South Vietnam work like South Korea but the problem was the French puppet were too corrupted and basically hated by vietnamese because 1. They were French and 2. They were Catholic.
So in reality it was more difficult to explain than that US lost in vietnam even with 40 allies because of their military but in reality it was politics in that war that made them lose. Also dont lie about China loving Vietnam, Vietnamese and Chinese hate each other lmfao.
@@apgaismiba They even had Sino-Vietnamese War in 1987 or so.
You realize that America only attacks weak destabilized countries and nukes civilians right?
Stop the cap😂
An underground storage/protection is a useful concept 👍
....if it weren't used to store old airframes and knock-off knock-offs 🤔
Where can I get the pentagon document referenced in the video?
The answer is very simple..China.
2 words: "Bunker Busters"
They can penetrate 60m+ reinforced bunkers and was used to takeout the iraqi high command in the 1st gulf war. Its not gonna be easy, but its not impossible either.
You also only need to collapse each end of the tunnel/entrance, then its useless. (atleast for the airstrip exits and 1-exit deployment tunnels)
Now we know everything. Thanks.
@@inesrios4793Im always glad to help
Interesting, but their strength is overstated.
seems like the combination of ground penetrating radar and a MOAB could take care of these tunnels pretty easy
the only major reason north korea had managed to stand was due to them being backed by the soviet union and china even then the korean war was basically a stalemate
Just like SK surviving because of the US and its allies.
When and when will Korea be unified? I am so sick of this on-going war!
Germany was so lucky to be unified for 35 to 45 years now and they did not experience an on-going war like Korea did!
So sad!
USA and China doesn’t want Koreas to be unify.
@@baekdumountaintiger5701 Facts. Not even South Korea wants it. The cost of reunification would far exceed what Germany experienced. East German were at least educated and not malnourished and brain washed. South Korea would be bankrupt for generation incorporating the North. Not to mention, China and Japan would experience significant destabilization from the influx of millions from a broken country. Also, the North has a vast biological weapons programs that would unleash hell on the region if they were to use them as a means of last resort.
@@baekdumountaintiger5701 They're Kim's enablers
I don't know... But something tells me we are witnessing that the North or the South are about to meet its end soon.
Honestly the most important point is left out: its neighbours are the friendly (overall, with ups and downs in the last decades) China and Russia. If they were opposed as NK is to the US, it would have crumbled. It also imports a lot of resources from them.
Those inside the mountains are similar like in Albania when was under communism in 1980s
That is incorrect. The USS PUEBLO is still on the Naval Registry as a Commissioned vessel of the United States Navy that has been captured and is temporarily in enemy hands. It is still property of the United States Government, even though it’s being used as a museum in Pyongyang.
and Taiwan is a province of china
@@anuvisraa5786 Nope. Taiwan is an independent republic.
no, it is not. It never declared independence. they should have done that in the 60s. and could have negotiated with china for mutual recognition and access to the UN like the Germans and koreans @@martinputt6421
Now the Chinese government can use the precedent of Navono Carabath and the Croatians in Operation Storm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Storm @martinputt6421
