US Economy was roughly three times the size of the USSR in 1950. China was smaller the Britain, France or Germany.

Alright, fair enough. Guerilla wars seem to be an exception to the rule, then.

Any others?


Korea wasn't a "guerilla" war.

No, it didn't. If the UN had won, there would be no North Korea.

Considering the UN's goal was to prevent South Korea being overrun...

If the UN lost, there would be no South Korea. As it stands, there is a South Korea. North Korea's goal was to destroy South Korea. They failed. The UN won.

Just because winning didn't beam an American flag onto every newborn's heart doesn't mean one didn't win.

Arguably the UN won, but the US part-way through changed and led the change in war aims. The US lost, definitely. The UN can be considered to have won if you think 'eh, they didn't start the war wanting to invade BestKorea'.

The risk of South Korea being overrun exists to this day.

Oale put it quite aptly, actually.

Being nuked? Yes. Being overrun? Not really. South Korea maintains close relations with both Japan and the United States, if you've forgotten.

So, it maintains close relations with dominant regional and global economic hegemonies, has an extensive economy itself, against a pariah state supported by the world equivalent of welfare.

How has North Korea not collapsed under this economic onslaught by the West? o:

1) China doesn't like North Korea, do you not know what pariah means? China isn't even that much of an economic power, it's mostly a backwater industrial state with limited regional hard power. It's certainly far inferior to the USA and Japan together, let alone the USA's network of military alliances through NATO who are potential UNC allies.

2) Except Korea.

Tanks are useless you should spend more points developing your economy stats.

You should re-spec your country to "Money-Hoarding Pacifists" (AKA Swiss) in that case.

Why is the machine gun backwards btw? Was it just slewed that way and left there?

It's just thrown backwards for easy access given the open top.
