What exactly could North Korea do ? Send a unicorn ?


If they can send a metric fuck ton of small arms and tanks I imagine they could do something like send SF.

The better question is why exactly Daesh went after a Nork couple, probably not the best idea they've ever had.

North Korea has been helping Syria for a while and even sent some army officers as advisers

Since they can't launch a massive invasion, they could step up their arms shipments and send in special forces.
Aside from that ofcourse, unicorns aren't a bad idea either; And before you start complaining that unicorns don't exist, they actually do in North-Korea, or you're telling me this picture is fake?
Then there's the option to send the glorious leader himself, he will just shoot IS fighters with laser eyes and can't be hit becouse he's bullet proof.
I'd also thought about the glorious leader just shitting on IS, but then, the glorious leader doesn't shit.

I doubt they have the capability to send any fighting force at all thousands of miles overseas

A real fighting force, no. Some special forces, why not?

I'm aware, afaik I know more about the KPA than most other people on NSG. Guess Daesh is just trying to dig the hole even deeper, they really don't have many friends except the screaming edgy teens.

They do have that capability, a few dozen men won't be an issue for North-Korea to transport to Syria.

No clue, probably once the failing commanders are replaced with commanders that are motivated and know what they're doing. Its currently just sad to see how Iraq gets ruined becouse of a few men incapable of doing their jobs.

I suppose but I think that the entire north korean army is, equipped, geared and trained for a war in the Korean Peninsula and the terrain there is completely desert from the desert and consequently so is the fighting style

They'd be better off focussing on Minnesota, where the Somali community isn't doing so well financially. Michigan's Arab-American community is firmly middle-class (it's been here for over 125 years, so there's been lots of opportunity for them to lay down entrepreneurial roots), and the Iranian community in this State isn't going to give ISIL the time of day.

"Do you see how policing blacks by the presumption of guilt and policing whites by the presumption of innocence is a self-reinforcing mechanism?" — Touré Neblett, MSNBC Commentator and Social Critic

That could be true yeah, i dunno what the training of such forces in North-Korea is but yeah, its likely that they would have to adept to a whole new kind of situation.
