    I think the other comment is partially a meme/joke, but also the US already tried once to defeat the north and lost… or at least gave up. That was immediately post-WWII US military and economy roaring after facing basically zero setbacks unlike most of the world. Korea and China were coming out of occupation by the fascist Japanese and a brutal incredibly long civil war in China… and still managed to hold their own against, again, the US still at it’s WWII strength. And it’s not like the US wasn’t trying to “win” either they leveled every fucking building in the north and still couldn’t make them give up. I’m not an expert on North Korean military shit now, but last I heard they learned from the war with the US and built everything underground so it can’t really be targeted by the US. Not easily anyway. We see in Gaza that Israel cannot damage much of the underground infrastructure… imagine that on the nation state level. US would be on a total suicide mission to even try an invasion. Not to mention their nuclear capabilities.

        Propaganda is so heavy. I thought you were being 100% serious because it’s quite obvious the US would handily lose that conflict a second time. Probably even worse than the first as neoliberalism has rotted the US from the inside while DPRK has prepared for this inevitability.
