Debate: Would North Korea win in a war against USA
Side: USA

The United States would have a fairly good chance of beating North Korea when it came to war,it would probably be another remake of the first Korean War.Remember people,we WON that war,the only problem was......When we pushed the North Koreans back to the Chinese border,the Chinese over powered us and pushed us back.And with the previous amount of casualties,we could not make a come back.One may argue,well it may turn into another Vietnam war,a guerilla style war that actually,kicked our ass.But,that didn't happen in the First korean war,why would it happen now?The only question is,do we have the logistics to get there?And do they have the logistics to get over here?They do not have the logistics to get over here,but we could get over there through South Korea,albeit we have enough aircraft to get alot of troops over there.We also have better technology then the North Koreans,but that's not stopping the Taliban right now,runnin around in sandals with their Ak-47's(good gun to),they're putting up some resistance.Weapons right now won't do squat,they can help,but are unlikley to change the tide of battle.Do not forget,we have to abide by NATO and UN protocals,but the North Koreans don't,so they can use hollow points,silencers(not suppressors) and IED's.It would be a difficult war for both sides.Also,the North Koreans have excellent knowledge of their terrain and it yes,would turn into a guerilla war,but it would be difficult for them too.Technology would help a little bit in this sense,but it wouldn't have much of a difference.Even if they were to hide in underground bunkers,we have Javelin man pads that could potentialy kill the inhabitants inside.The Javelin can use a top attack mode and has a explosive war head to destroy and pierce through armor,and then explode inside it.Same with ground targets.Also,the abrahms resistance to RPG's would help a little bit in ambushes.The NKoreans would likely hide in tree tops and ambush the troops below,snipers would be a likley occurance on the battlefield and could pose problems,but we have systems that can tell us precisley where he is,even with a sound suppressor.But it could be complicated to use in a jungle enviornment or mountanous enviornment.In an urban enviornment it could still be hard to effectivley use this system.What we would probably do is use b-2 stealth bombers with fa-22 raptor escorts to destroy their Anti Air defenses if they have any.Their secondary objective would be to destroy the koreans industry,and then Ah-64 apache helicopters could fly in with little hindrance to destroy enemy ground installations like bunkers,tanks,ect.Then from the South,we could fire tomahawk cruise missiles or just drop jdams on the DMZ,to destroy any possible minefields so our tanks could go through,and then the infantry in the rear.From there we would move into the south of North Korea,and set up command installations.From there,they would sweep and clear any targets the Americans chose.From then on,the North Koreans would go into guerilla mode,and it could take 10-30 months to flush all of the guerillas out from their hiding spots,and could cost anywhere from 10-30 thousand us casualties.Then if that works...We would begin the occupying part.This part is where the Army would take over and the Marines would leave.From there it would probably be like vietnam and afghanistan,suprise attacks on bases,and suicide bombings.In all if we stayed in their 8 years like iraq,then we could look at more then 70+ thousand casualties on the us side,with about 500+ thousand North Korean soldiers dead.Do not worry about the Chineese,they have to many buisness assets with the United States,and would probably stay neutral throught the conflict.As for russia,north korea dosent even like russia,so russia would most likely help us or stay neutral.The US would have a tough victory,and so would the North.
