i dunno, i don't think china would side with them. they wouldn't risk open war with us. i would guess in the end china would value their relations with us more than NK.

no doubt that al-qaeda would take advantage and probably hit our troops some, but other than that, I don't think NK would have many (if any) allies. in that case I think they'd get crushed. wide open countryside = shooting gallery for us. i dunno who described NK as jungle like and comparing it to vietnam, but that doesn't look like the case to me.

i wouldn't go as far as comparing it to vietnam's jungles, but yeah there are plenty of green mountainous areas as far as i know.

first of all, notice the little smiley i put after my comment.
second... uh, so you think because we buy cheap labor from china and have a walmart there we're best buds? our governments are not allies dude. it's almost like a mini-cold war between our two governments and it's not even like it's that big of a secret. china/russia/n. korea are pretty good allies (all communist/former communist) whom hold talks regularly...probably about things they don't want us to know. if you don't know this i don't know what else to say.

don't be silly...find where I said we were "best buds" or that we were allies.

but we do have relations...albeit economic ones. if you don't know this I don't know what to else say. and how the hell has brother lived there for 4 years if we're sworn mortal enemies? how have I backpacked across it with a sword on my back? try that in NK.

they are communist. they are not our strategic allies. but we do have relations. define that how you will.
