None of which the senior Kim has done in the past 70 years. That he'll invade the South has a much higher likelihood.

Little mobility, obsolete technology in its military aircraft, naval vessels, and tanks, poor infrastructure for fuel transmission... that sounds less ready for war than Iraq in 1991.

Just don't strike first. North Korea will need China to rescue it.
