I didn't feel like purging half the thread, even if it was off topic, it would fill half a page with deleted stuff.
Back on topic: Why don't we have more subs in America? Also noting, this chart doesn't take into account equipment or training and other various things. I guess because it's military, it's hard to measure that.
You shouldn't underestimate North Korea. And I don't mean their military force, of course there is no way they could match the USA. I mean that there is a very good reason why they're the laughing stock of the world. They have every intention of leaving it that way, because they know they would never win an actual armed conflict with the USA. But as long as we think they're funny, we won't try to free the many, many people there who are oppressed on a daily basis.

on the arrival shuttle, I saw the iconic toolbox on the ground. I clubbed myself in the head with it trying to figure out the controls.
Setting the tool box, now bloodied, back on the table; I went to heal myself with a medkit. I clubbed myself in the head with that too.
I've come a long ways from asking how to switch hands.

The HoP just toolboxes someone to death out of nowhere, then gets speared by a chemist who saw him murder a guy, then the chemist gets beaten to death because someone else saw him kill the HoP.
Tele-man somehow dies and gets its looted by an atmos tech who managed to use it to send two nuke ops to lavaland, who were then surrounded by several very angry people from earlier and some extra golems on top of it.
Captain dies, gets cloned/revived, lasers the guy holding the disk into crit to take it back.

While North Korea would not be able to stand up to a invasion, they are more than capable of inflicting critical damage to South Korea. They position a LOT of artillery near the border and Seoul is not that far from the boarder.
From what I know most parties are content with the status quo. China uses them as a buffer state against the US and its allies, in addition if NK fell then China would be swamped with a lot of refuges, South Korea's economy would be ruined if it reunited with the North and the US can use NK as a good reason to have troops established in the region.
Nobody really wants to free them at this point. Think about it. If you were in charge of South Korea, would you really want to suddenly have to take care of millions of starving, brainwashed fuggin gommies? Hell no.
If or when the Korean War starts back up, I doubt the NK army will even make it past the first line of auto-turrets on the DMZ. I think the worst losses will be the artillery strikes on the South Korean capital.
Also rebuilding North Korea wouldn't destroy the southern economy. That is a misuse of the broken window fallacy, we generally see in history unification between countries play out extremely well in an economic sense.
I figure back when AmeriCANs took over mexico in 1840s that we could had annex mexico and had made it lower America. Could had won over canada roughly the same era but got over confident and fucked up. But I believed congress said nope to that at the time for the mexico issue, need to dig around for more information but that's just my speculation of things.
To be robust is not about combat prowess, it is the state of readiness for the situation at hand.

Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.

They have a fuckton of midget submarines.
That's why they have so so many "submarines." They're literally there for them to send with one/two persons and fire one or two torpedos and hope to god the ship sinks.
Probably won't work though.
Well googling it told me they are actually semi-suberible boats designed for infiltration and maybe those kidnappings they used to do. Basically what would happen if a uboat fucked a speed boat.
Being cunts they arm them but they are hardly military craft and my guess is they are just armed to force destruction of the boat if confronted by actual navy or coastguard. Some more submariney some more speedboaty, basically made for sneaking.

Maybe that's the theory, but it's pretty doubtful that North Korea has enough competent frogmen to carry out such an operation. Combat swimmers are pretty much the most expensive and difficult to train special forces there are. Look how long, expensive and difficult the training pipeline for one singular US Navy SEAL, and those guys are generalists that have only conduced one known successful combat swimmer mission, and it came pretty close to going horribly wrong (almost got ran over by a cargo ship). North Korea though has used minisubs to attack South Korean shipping harbors/lanes and kidnap South Koreans/Japanese civilians. It's a far cry from doing it against the US Navy though.
