You just don't get it. Fat Boy Kim had to go on national television and ask his citizens to eat less food and give more to the army because they were starving, all while he stuffs his face with expensive imported cheese, imported whiskey, and smokes imported cigarettes. And you think those soldiers are going to run across the DMZ and die for him? Many of them are only following his orders now so they don't get fed to dogs, mowed down by aircraft machine guns, or publicly executed and their families sent to work camps. As soon as they stepped into South Korea and had the opportunity to surrender and become free citizens in South Korea? It would be like the first Gulf War all over again.
It is good that you are so much better informed that our own intelligence agencies and General Mattis. I feel so much better.
For those of us that place more weight with our intelligence agencies and military than with Lewdog, here is what those "fools" have to say.

War with North Korea would be "catastrophic," Defense Secretary Mattis says 98 Comment

U.S. Secretary of Defense James Mattis says that war with North Korea -- should tensions ever come to that -- would be "catastrophic."
"A conflict in North Korea, John, would be probably the worst kind of fighting in most people's lifetimes," Mattis told CBS News' "Face the Nation" host John Dickerson in his first official interview as defense secretary.
The North Korean regime has hundreds of artillery cannons and rocket launchers within range of one of the most densely populated cities on Earth -- Seoul, the capital of South Korea, Mattis said.
North Korea is a threat to the surrounding region, including Japan, China and Russia, he said.
"But the bottom line is it would be a catastrophic war if this turns into a combat if we're not able to resolve this situation through diplomatic means," Mattis said.

You think you know everything that our intelligence agencies and Mattis know from an article and a few quotes? Wow, you are more out of touch with reality than I thought. Tell me how blissful ignorance really is.
