	USA North Korea South Korea War 1950-1953
		Although many aspects of the Korean War remained murky, it seemed that the beginning of conventional war in June 1950 was mainly Kim's decision, and that the key enabling factor was the existence of as many as 100,000 troops with battle experience in China.
		Although the war lasted another two years, until the summer of 1953, the outcome of early 1951 was definitive: both a stalemate and a United States commitment to containment that accepted the de facto reality of two Koreas.
		The United States, fearing that inaction in Korea would be interpreted as appeasement of communist aggression elsewhere in the world, was determined that South Korea should not be overwhelmed and asked the UN Security Council to intervene.

	N Korea Military Tactics In A War With US
		North Korea's war plan in case of an US attack is total war, not the 'low-intensity limited warfare' or 'regional conflict' talked about among the Western analysts.
		Korea is 100 km wide and 125 km long, and so US air-to-air missiles would be of limited use and effectiveness, because North Korean MiGs would approach the US planes in close proximity and commingle with US planes, and air-to-air missiles will become useless and machines guns will have to be used.
		North Korea sent 25 pilots to Syria during the 3rd Arab-Israeli war of 1966, and 30 pilots to Egypt and Syria during the 4th Arab-Israeli war of 1973.

		War with North Korea is much more likely than either the administration or the media have indicated.
		The North Koreans are doing everything in their power (withdrawing from the nuclear nonproliferation treaty, threatening to repudiate the Korean war armistice) to create a sense of crisis — all with the object of forcing the United States into negotiations.
		There are four possible responses to the current situation in North Korea: allow the current stalemate to continue, impose a set of sanctions designed to bring the regime to heel, negotiate, or go to war.
