0:04Following alleged nuclear weapon tests by North Korea in January of 2016, the United 0:08Nations and South Korea have imposed strict sanctions on the country, and warned dictator 0:12Kim Jong Un against further nuclear development. That same week, the North Korean leader threatened 0:17to release a “pre-emptive nuclear strike of justice" at both South Korea and the United 0:22States. Such a threat could allegedly provide the basis for a legal declaration of war against 0:27North Korea, and made us want to know: What would happen if the United States and North 0:32Korea went to war? 0:34Well, historically, the countries have been lifelong enemies. The United States was instrumental 0:38in the post-World War Two division of Korea, with the US backing South Korea’s development, 0:43and Russia backing North Korea. Since then, the US and South Korea have maintained a mutual 0:48defense treaty, meaning that in case of aggression, the two countries will back each other against 0:53an aggressor. 0:54In fact, military alliances are where North Korea suffers the most. With very few exceptions, 0:59most notably Russia and China, North Korea has no real allies. Moreover, even Russia

1:04and China would be hard pressed to go to war with the United States over a relatively weak 1:09and unstable country. It may be more accurate to describe them as friendly mediators than 1:14actual, defensive military allies. 1:17So with little to no support, how does North Korea fare on its own? Well, militarily it’s 1:22a mixed bag. On the one hand, the country’s military dictatorship means that nearly all 1:26eligible citizens would be included in their troop count. That’s an estimated 5 million 1:31active troops, plus another 5 million fit for service through mandatory conscription. 1:35By comparison, the US has only about two and a half million active troops. Unfortunately 1:41for North Korea, that’s where their military superiority ends. 1:43There is no question that the United States operates the most expensive and modern military 1:48on the face of the earth. The biggest reason the US doesn’t have as many troops as North 1:52Korea is that they don’t need them. Against technology like fighter drones, smart bombs, 1:57and billions of dollars worth of tanks, jets, and battleships, North Korea’s outdated,

2:01underfunded, and faulty Soviet-era equipment doesn’t stand a chance. Their annual defense 2:06budget is estimated around 7.5 billion dollars, while the US spends more than 77 times that 2:12on defense. 2:13And while North Korea does have a slight edge of unpredictability concerning their nuclear 2:17capabilities, realistically they’ve got fewer than ten, crude nuclear bombs. Even 2:22one nuclear weapon seems like a big deal, but North Korea’s nuclear program is believed 2:27to still be in its infancy, and largely ineffective. By comparison, the United States possesses 2:32more than 7,000 nukes, located all around the world. This is alongside a powerful missile 2:38defense system which would likely destroy a North Korean missile before it ever reached 2:42the US. In the end, there is almost no way for a North Korean attack to end favorably 2:47for North Korea. Kim Jong Un is undoubtedly aware of this, which explains why the country 2:52regularly threatens to attack but has never actually done it, and likely never will. 2:57But while North Korea may stand alone politically, that doesn’t mean they don’t have any
