Would the NK army have the food for a fight? Do they have the physical size and stamina for such a gambit? I'd be surprised if their army has the drive to give it their all in a battle.

Have been reading for at least 20 years about how the NK population has a decidedly shorter and smaller stature now, after decades of food scarcity.

Apparently as far back as the mid-00's it affected the standards for conscription in the NK army. Not sure on that, but it would make sense.

It's hard to know actually, there's tons of propaganda on both sides, (and God knows, the Kim regime certainly won't offer up actual demographic information of that nature which is truthful) but from the photos I've seen, the NK soldiers look awfully small compared to the SK soldiers.

That's just smaller hitboxes, bro.

But seriously, I think it would take some (probably modest) backing from another world power. Realistically China, maybe Russia, though China has been burned by NK before and Russia doesn't have anything to give right now. I think the most likely scenario is that the regime sees a waning SK as a chance and goes for it, whether it's a sane thing to do or not

Ooofff. Lets hope not. That would be horrific for the North Korean people and they're already in such a shit situation. :(

Past a certain point, it means you can't carry gear, get exausted easily, can't travel fsr, etc.
