lol, thats the funniest thing ive ever heard, North Korea wouldnt stand a chance against us. if we didnt do any occupation of the countries and straight out fought we could take on around 5 of the top countries at once Ruling out the use of nuclear weapons. the United States is the worlds only super power we spend more on our military then the next top 25 countries combined.

isnt China a super-power?

no, people think they may become one in the next 25-50 years but thats unlikely considering their government is communist and extremely unstable, it will have its rise and fall just like the Soviet Union communism always fails

North Korea also kind of doesn't have any delivery system yet. It's like having bullets without a gun. And we have 10,000 now.

No that is not true. The Chinese government is only Communist by name, in reality it is a fusion of western and eastern ideas with only a little communist ideology. Its economy is also a fusion of socialism and capitalism. As of now, China is probably still considered a "Great Power" because it lacks the Navy the US has. But China and Russia are the only ones that can stand up to the US (and usually do since they are always vetoing american stuff in the UN) since they are the only ones with ICBM that can reach the continental US.

If a war between the US and North Korea breaks out, NK would be flat in one day.

it is communist any more its like a capitalist dictatorship. Also if we went to war with them we would have no one to finance's building new weapons. Also the American economy would crash.

Lol China isn't communist, it has adopted market policies. You can buy McDonalds in China, you can own property in china, there is income inequality in china... It's not communist.

Also you say Soviet communist is unstable? I seem to record it was a superpower with an economy close to that of the USA. Please come up with better arguments than your typical ignorant propaganda.

This post is kinda dumb....especially about the nuclear weapons. If American did use those weapons every country will end up tryin to destroy America. Stop talkin crap about NK...they have nuclear weapons and i dont think they are that bad...i mean if they can build them im betting they are stronger than mentos in soda. Vietnam beat America. America economy declining because of war in Iraq. America has Bush as a president which is one of the worst things ever.IM not saying America is weak...i think they are realy strong...but against other countirs i think they have a chance losing. i think Russia and china has a chance of beating America.My Theory why america is soo strong it has only been here for about 200 years....while all the other countries has been here longer...i think another 300 years or so american wont be as strong...

America is strongest
China is Second
UK Third
Russia Fourth

Hmmm....depends on whatyou mean. Economically the U.S and U.K stand on top...but not for long. Some countries that were thought to be poor, mainly China and India, are booming faster than any other country in the past. China and India actually have more money than the U.S right now(I think) they just are saving up to bring a big bang on this planet. The U.S has the illusion of being rich but its 9 trillion dollars in debt. China and India is a gold mine to still be prospected. If you mean through warefare power it's a showdown between The U.S and North Korea.brownthrilla

1337_ownage

Your "opinion"? Exactly right, it's your opinion, because most of your post is a big load of crap. Every country in the world would all of the sudden turn on the U.S. if the U.S. used nuclear weapons against a country like N. Korea? I think most of the world would just b**** and complain at the U.N. unless they would want their a** to get fried in a confrontation with the U.S.

And the Communist Vietnamese did not defeat the U.S. The U.S. actually kind of defeated itself. Militarily, the U.S. crushed the North Vietnamese like the insects they were. The low morale and overall popular support at home is what caused America to lose. America definately could've won Vietnam if it wasn't for that b**** Jane Fonda and all the rest of the damn defeatists that brainwashed America into thinking that Vietnam was unwinnable.

China's military is advanced, but still is no where as strong as the U.S. in terms of technology. All they could do is sacrifice as many men as they could (which is alot of men) until they get what they want. That's how the Communists won Vietnam. They didn't care how many of their men would get killed just as long as they would win. It would basically be a war of attrtion. Which ever side could sustain the most casualties would determine the winner and the loser in such a war between China and the U.S.

North Korea wouldn't stand a chance in open conflict with the U.S., because the U.S. has vastly superior technology to wage war in the air and the sea.  A huge army's not much good when you have inadequate defenses against aerial attack and no way to transport it to the country you wish to invade.

Remember the words of one of the most famous military strategists of all time: "In war, numbers alone confer no advantage."
