North Korea Stands No Chance Against US – Russian General. by Nobody: 6:21am On Aug 12, 2017
North Korea wouldn’t stand a chance against the US if the war of words between the two states escalates into a military conflict, Leonid Ivashov, a political analyst and retired Russian Colonel-General, told RT, urging a diplomatic solution to the crisis.

“It’s a total mismatch,” Ivashov, who currently heads the Academy of Geopolitical Problems, said of the possible confrontation between Washington and Pyongyang.

“The US is a superpower, while North Korea is a small regional player. North Korea can’t compete with America on any level,” he said.

President Donald Trump needs to strengthen his position in Washington, and the American attack on North Korea “can’t be ruled out,” Ivashov said.

According to the retired colonel-general, modern surveillance technologies allow the US to know “the exact location of all missile systems and nuclear production facilities” possessed by Pyongyang.

“The Americans can strike North Korea – its nuclear missile development centers, industrial facilities; try to eliminate everything that North Korea created in terms of medium-range and long-range missiles and nuclear production,” he said.

The American B-1 bombers will be able to inflict significant damage on Pyongyang’s underground nuclear development facilities and missile silos, “taking into account the weakness of the North Korean anti-missile defense,” Ivashov said.

He was also skeptical about Pyongyang’s threats to target the US territory of Guam in case of an attack.

“To some extent, it’s a bluff on the part of North Korea; an attempt to save face and avert the American blow through international rhetoric,” he said.

The US have invaded more countries than the rest of the world in the past 50 years. And also has the world's strongest military alliance.
Nobody with a brain doubts american power. Not even the Russians.

Thank you so much Leonid Ivashov - for baiting Amerika into attacking NK so that Mother Russia can exact revenge on Amerika for the fall of the Soviet Union. grin cheesy grin

I only hope your Psychological Operations (PSYOP) works on Trump & his war Generals so that we can quickly bomb Amerika back to the stone age. grin

72 SLBM strikes from 12 North Korean Submarines patrolling the Amerikan west-coast are all it takes to achieve that glorious feat. Hahahahahahahaaaaa! grin cheesy grin

kid, there is nothing like bait here. Even China that have been playing catch up game will always be decades behind US so how much more is north korea.
Only that your analysis is always dumb.
Well I hardly quote people like you bcus most of u started following foreign politics when President Obama came to power but for the sake of others. Russia and North korea will bomb america to stone age and America will nt respond? If this statement was uttered by a Russian general then it is either the general is dumb and a war green horn just as you are or he just feel like rolling out comedy skit words for video shooting. Just listen to yourself. And for the soviet union, well consider it as a war trophy for US.

Bro u really tried. Here is what u don't know-1 which war did us ever fight on their own and won non Korea war they lost, ww11 against Japan dey lost if not of their atomic bomb they built, Iraq war dey lost They only really on heavy weapons and mass destruction weapons.
2 they can't use military action on Korea because doing that u will have to face China and mother Russia to war which all us and its allies can't face them. U can read on Korea war to know more about what am saying

Australia is a paper weight not worth mentioning.

When Russia invaded Ukraine what did US do?

When Russia intervened in Syria to destabilise US plans what did US do?

When Russia invaded Georgia and the Russian Black Sea Fleet blockaded the Georgian coast, what did the US do?? Except issue mundane rhetorics. Their usual talk talk on CNN and no action.

See, the Americans have grown soft, they are not ready to stomach a direct military confrontation with an enemy who has the capacity to strike back.

They have been behaving like bullies all this while, attacking and invading countries without the capacity to strike back.

The sole reason we have North Korea today is because of China. It was the Chinese army that assisted North Korea to drive back the US and South Korean forces that has already defeated the North Korean forces and almost pushed them into China.

China mobilised more than a million troops within the twinkle of an eye, to the surprise of US and South Korea and started pushing them back, reclaiming lost territories back to North Korea until the present 38th parallel was achieved and all parties dug into their present positions till this day!

As it happened during the Korean war, China will definitely enter the battle on the side of North Korea as failing to do that will mean the collapse of North Korea and Americans at their very border.

Countries only react when their strategic interests are threatened. China does not want US at her border, same with Russia that was why Russia reacted swiftly to Ukraine when US started getting over ambitious with them. China will do same here.

North Korea has the capacity to militarily strike strike back at US, it's bases in the region, and also it's allies in that region, that is why the US is back to its usual mouth mouth talk. They won't attack North Korea.

South Korea also does not have the mind to do the dirty job for the Americans. They have grown fat and successful and not ready to have Seoul which is very close to North Korea to be in ruins. North Korea has thousands of standby artillery directed at Seoul (South Korea), ready to start firing at any instant.

US has also not attacked Iran till date because it knows Iran also have some capabilities to strike US bases and allies in the middle East. And create serious oil crises.

Nuclear weapons are more of strategic weapons and not tactical. Although I know some nuclear weapons are designed as tactical and dubbed same, but nuclear power on the face value is mainly a strategic power. Why did the US not use them against China during the Korean war at a time China itself was not yet a nuclear power??

US is just making noise. North Korea as a nuclear power has come to stay, and all their talk is not going to change that. They are just talking for talking sake.
