plus other nato troops

don't forget we got lots people in Japan also,,

the main equalizer is Air Superiority,, there is no country that can fuck with the US when it comes to air warfare,,


and lot of you guys like to toss around the "NUKE" word,,
that is something you can't just easily say lightly,, N Korea knows that if they shoot a Nuke that it's GAURANTEED suicide,,

best believe the US has 100 times more than n korea
I believe the U.S. has 1000 times more Nukes than N Korea right now (they have 4 I think, U.S. has at least 4000, prolly more)

By "weak", I don't quite mean the U.S. will ever be weak, I am reffering to the fact that during a war with IRAQ when they have deployed many troops and specially equipment to the middle east, the U.S. military will be 'weaker' than when it is not engaged in a war with another country(even though IRAQ is not a much of a match for the U.S.)

No doubt it would be suicide for North Korea to attack the U.S., but than again, the sanity of North Korea's leader is seriously in doubt, so I don't put anything past him.
