I've thought for a while that North Korea is the country to really be worried about because they are run by crazies.

From the link: "The U.S. Navy has 14 ballistic missile submarines, also called boomers, in service. The boomers . . . can carry 24 nuclear-armed Trident II ballistic missiles and serve as nuclear deterrents."

Nuclear deterrents work fine when we're dealing with fairly reasonable, modern people, like the Russians. A doomsday device, for instance, would deter the Russians (and the United States); but not necessarily North Korea. This is why I posted the OP.

North Korea may be the greatest rich-poor divide in the world today, in material goods as well as education and knowledge.

Some of their missile launches have not been successful. Also their one main ally China is not too happy with their activities.

They're allies with Russia too.

Rumor has it North Korean troops forayed into Ukraine ... and stunk up the joint. Like their troops are terrible fighters. Anybody else hear about this?

It has been in the news that many of the North Korean Soldiers have been killed fighting in Ukraine. Not sure if they will continue sending troops.
