Don't Take North Korea Lightly - Exclusive: Joseph Farah cites reasons 'certifiable loon' in Pyongyang is dangerous

Is all this talk of war by North Korea just the kind of posturing we’ve heard off and on from three generations of “supreme leaders”?

Maybe.

But with the rhetoric of the kind emanating from Pyongyang in the last week, only one thing is certain – if war comes, it will be the worst camouflaged sneak attack in history.

Here are some things to consider regarding Kim Jong-un’s threats to annihilate both South Korea and the U.S.:

• The totalitarian police state has nuclear weapons and delivery systems and is already threatening to use them;
• It has the fourth-largest standing military in the world;
• It has between 500,000 and 700,000 rounds of artillery it can fire in a few hours at Seoul, a major metropolitan capital rebuilt from the ground up after being destroyed in the Korean War;
• North Korea boasts 600,000 Special Operations commandos trained to fight an asymmetrical war of sabotage and terrorism;
• The country has millions of refugees it could unleash on the south in an invasion that would make it difficult to tell victim from enemy;
• Its national leader is nutty enough to entertain Dennis Rodman.

Meanwhile, though Washington says it is taking all this seriously, there are only 30,000 U.S. military personnel in South Korea who are expected to hold off an attack there. While they are armed with anti-missile defense, U.S. soldiers would be nearly helpless against a massive artillery barrage followed by a full-scale armored invasion.
