North Korea says it has ordered artillery and rocket units into "combat posture" to prepare to target US bases in Hawaii, Guam and the US mainland.

I doubt they're that suicidal though, but the question is: what is the true strength of US’ military power.

Lets answer some hard questions:

Would the North Korea and Iran Combined defeat the US in a war today?:

That is not even remotely possible. The United states has the most advanced and largest military complex in the world. They have also engaged in the most lethal conflict globally and additionally, have utilized pre-emptive warfare more than any other nation. They’ve been fighting wars since World War II.

How much does the US spend in Defense:

$717Billion per year, that is close to what the entire rest of the world spends in defense and is enough to wipe global poverty! The closest to this spending is China which is far below at $143 Billion.

How strong is the US Navy?
The US has 10 good air craft carreers, very good ones. All other countries have a total of 10, Combined. And they are mostly small ships that can launch very small helicopters.

How good is the US helicopter attack system?

There are about 8000 attack helicopters in the world. More than 6000 of them are owned by the United states. Some of the US helicopters are just one seater with weapons every other place - ie built for destruction only!

How good is the US ground attack?
The US has a war tank called the M1 Abrams tank. It has fought more wars than any other tank in history, some of them are built as buldozers and tanks combined. So they can bring down structures and climb out of pits, if they fall in.

Non of the abrams tanks has ever been completely knocked out (killed) in battle. The fortification is just so much.
If an abrams tank sees a target, it can share information about the target with other nearby tanks using the inbuilt internet facility. Now you have 14 tanks coming after you. Remember an Abrams tank has never been knocked out in war, so your survivabilty drops to below 10%.
It can also upload information to all their wicked apache helicopters providing air cover above, now everyone knows who you are, where you are and what you are, everyone is tracking you and coming after you the same time.
Your survivabilty drops to 0. Game Over.

China has less than 500 Type 99 tanks, that has just been developed, and are not even close to being as good as the Abrams. The United States has 8,700 Abrams!

The United States has engaged in every type of ground warfare for many years. From mountains to jungles, and from desert to urban, we have the some of the most experienced warriors in the world. No other country comes close to the amount of combat veterans that they have.

What are their major advantages?
All the satellites that guide GPS systems and advanced stealth technology belong to the US.
They have the best sensors, latest information systems?
What else?
So how in the world is North Korea expecting to win a US in a war?
It would take 10 to 15 countries using all their resources to fight US and loose in a tough decisive battle. Anything short of that, will just be too easy.
Another tough battle United States could fight is attempting to use ground troops in any war in Russia. Napoleaon and Hitler has failed in that for the same reasons. But the US has learnt a lot from their mistake in the Vietnam war.
Nowadays, before you see the first US soldier on your soil, their planes have reduced your defence and equipments to complete garbage.

North Korea + Iran + Russia + Others will still find it hard to fight US and loose with living people still remaining in their country!

Lmao....

That's the fact, for now USA is unbeatable by kids like Iran, North Korea, and China put together.

you are right, US will fall when their economy collapses.
That wont happen until half a decade from now.

:/ really?

The US is overestimated. Won't be surprised if most of their military budget is used 2 pay salaries nd pensions nd also fund the war in Afghanistan. The same US that can't defeat taliban. The same US that ran away 4rm Mogadishu, Somalia. The same US that lied about killing Bin Laden nd couldn't even provide his body or a valid proof that he was really killed. Iran has learnt from the 80's when it was a top US ally and had to fight a US funded Saddam Hussein Iraqi army. And so has NK learnt. A war on NK or Iran is the end of d US. They'll fall in bits, believe me, they will.


War is not fought with equipments. A foot soldier is more dangerous and potent than a billion M1 Abrams. Forget what d US tells u about their tanks;

A total of 23 M1A1s were damaged or destroyed during the war in Iraq. Of the nine Abrams destroyed, seven were destroyed by friendly fire, and two were purposely destroyed to prevent capture after being damaged.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Abrams

when war comes, we go know. RPG-7 hv been used 2 destroy these yeye tanks in Afghanistan. So tell US say make dem park well.

the @OP says no M1 abram has been completely knocked out (killed) in battle, ever.
Not impared or damaged.
During the iraq war, US whipped the iraqis, captured saddam and had him hanged.
They neutralized Osama and told u what u need to know.
They messed Gadaffi up.
They are the back bone of israel.
Ended the ww2 in both ends.
Completely neutralised japan for fuc king with them.
North Korea should ask questions.
They wont even know what hit them.

You can't use an unconventional war with the Taliban or Somalian Jihadist to compare a possible war between a country against another country.
Taliban or the Somalian terrorist don't have have a base, no command and control, don't even wear uniforms, you don't even know who you are fighting against etc

what is NK waiting for. let them kick off the match lets see who will win

Who cares about the US?
They will soon go the way of former world powers who were too proud,arrogant,and imperialistic for their own good.
Fuccking murderers.

To all these ppl hating d US, sorry for u all. As far as am cocerned the world is a better place with d US as d world power dan China or Iran or any other country for dat matter. The only reason North Korea will attempt to fight d US is because they have nothin to loose. The country is so poor........ They can't even fight Japan. Dat is d problem with havin a very young president.

Bros, just do some research. Then come back and delete all of the above.

this is d most foolish post I av ever seen. the author of this garbage needs to be given a dirty slap for this crap. this is why most pple blv that America r what they r not ...I mean this is propaganda at work.

so what if they av d largest military spending why won't they since they were fighting too many lost war in Iraq, Afghanista etc .and they av military presence litter around d globe...having d largest military spending may not necessary translate to anything.
Russia was competing with America right frm day one and one can not b said to b superior to other technically. they both av their strong n weak point.
even during space race there was no clear winner .all these CNN n Co feed us junk n most pple blv anything that come frm them.
we will see as thing unfold ...

Xerxes of Greece had a vast and uncountable army, he came up against Alexander the Great, with a small but mighty army, but at the end of the battle, Alexander came out as the conqueror. Lemme say this: WAR cannot be easily won based on men, equipments or technological advances, but by strategy, planning and doggedness. Korean War, Vietnam war, Iraq War-the US cannot boast d̶̲̥̅̊aτ̲̅ they won those wars, despite their superpower status.

bokohalal:

America's capabilities can't be over estimated. The only deterrent to America's victory in battle is its people. As long as the government gets the support of its people North Korea or any other country will be a piece of cake for America. That's the reality, America has what it takes to bring down continents like Asia or Europe excluding Russia.

America should just be careful not to allow this their imbroglio with North Korea to distract them from Iran the real enemy.

What kind of Agegunle analysis is this?

They never born north Korea self.

The situation is a win-win for both sides. North Korea's sabre rattling helps sustain the North's regime by fostering a siege mentality in the North and it helps sustain US hegemony by scaring South Korea and Japan to continue to rely heavily on the US military umbrella. Obviously, the danger is that this PR game may turn into something serious due to miscalculation but the odds of that are very slim.

That FAT fccuk at Pyongyang would eventually bow to a Nigger.

They should ask Japan whats up, after they bombed Pearl Harbour

South Korea doesn't have any nukes. Its Iran that's on the way to getting one.
The US used nuclear weapons in 1945. Iran is building one in 2013. Do the math : 2013 - 1945;
Thats how far US is ahead of all of them.
The one used in Hiroshima, deleted the entire city.
Then another one in nagasaki it was ctrl+alt+delete too!
So imagine the one the US will use on North Korea in 2013!
The asian continent will lose North Korea.ha haa ha aaa.

Espionage is one factor in war. Beyond troops, artillery etc d effective use of spies can help win a war as d OSS proved in WW II. This I hope NK has amongst its formidable weaponry least d US take them by surprise!

sorry to disappoint you but their economy will collapse before this year runs out - the only thing keeping the US economy propped up now is their military.

I hate to break the bad news to you...The world top Countries' GDPs are trading in lock step pattern...They all peaked somewhere around 2007 and start falling from there...they all picked up and start rising in 2009 and peaked again 2010 before they started falling again.

The bitter truth is, if the US economy collapse; it will take with it the economy of many many nations worldwide and some nations will even kick the dust and get buried first as a result of what happened in the US...case in point; the current global economic crises, started in some little high riser office in NYC...see how that virus spread across the world taking some countries into ruin while the US is still standing.

I think you should start praying for the survival of the US economy because your survival might lay there too...in the same way the scriptures admonishes the Israelite to "..seek the peace of the city whither I have caused you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the LORD for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace"

i dey laff this article, na how u.s wan take carry abram tank go korea, abi dem don get tank carrier?
North korea knows they cant win a war with u.s with air battle and infantry, the only way to destroy u.s is with a nuclear strike. Hitting mainland u.s from koreas is almost impposible sef.
All this one na noise, and if kim is insane, i guess the whole world will suffer for his insanity for decades to come.
Na u.s cause thiss fight sha
