#6  KIMMIE + DPRK = NOT IRAN in not having Hezbollah + simil MilTerr Groups, Movements to control + use as PDeniable Proxies agz foreign countries - what he has is CHINA-VS-USA [Other?] REGIONAL, INTERNATIONAL NUCLEAR "BRINKMANSHIP".

KIMMIE + DRPK = IRAN in preferring to stay on the Media, Diplomatic etc. defensive, + letting THIRD-PARTY STATES be in the forefront of any China-vs-USA confrontation + INITIAL mil combat.

Once again, as per DPRK-specific NucProgs [includ other indigenous Advanced Miltechs], Kimmie + DPRK won't risk being seen by overlord China as "TOO SUCCESSFUL" in any New or Improved MilTechs includ Nukes.

#5  Big enough to level Seoul with artillery and then run out of fuel and spares within 5 miles of the southern city limits of Seoul.

#4  I was going to say about 5' 2", 140 pounds.

More like 100 lb., given the calorie rations... 110 lb. for the more muscular and well-fed Special Forces.

#1  It's huge. And it's good for one decent short-range strike and that's about it.
