In a war, all things being equal the side that's better supplied and with more ammo tends to win. Iraq had their Islamist/Al Qaeda funding, Vietnam had the Soviets, who does NK have?

Mind you all we are discussing are based on hypothetical, what ifs and second hand intelligence reports/analysis. Hopefully it never comes to anything violent or Seoul will be a steaming pile of slag.
I think you would see a very similar situation to what we saw in the first Korean war (That's right I said war, do you want to fight about it?)

China wouldn't tolerate the American's pushing up into one of their client countries no matter how much they dislike them. China basically views North Korea as a Sop against having American's and South Korean's right on their border.

You would probably also see Volunteer Chinese airmen and submariners if the war went badly for North Korea.



If the American's were to attack they would probably have to take that whole country, I'm pretty sure that China would define a line of death at Pyongyang and mass troops in the Northern Part of the country.
