You are right. I honestly don't know how I got that number in there. It may have been a typo or just may not have been my day. Thank you for clarifying. I wouldn't worry about the Chinese going nuclear. Although there numbers seem superior when it comes to such facts, they have an awkward standing. Going nuclear would cause to much instability to their economic rising. As a conspiracist of many theories, I truly do believe that the U.S has a much higher capability than what they say, as well as many other large countries such as china and indefinitely Russia. These larger countries don't feel the need to brag quite as much as smaller countries such as N.K (think of it more economically rather than population).

This is just a moderate outcome of what could and probably would happen. Few things less and many things more severe could happen.

The U.S has 2,915,362 and counting armed service members including reserves. 120,022,084 are fit for military service.------------------ KPA has 9,306,000 military personnel, almost all reserves. 10,066,704 are able to be drafted.----------- After drafts on both sides, we would easily outnumber them. KPA has a $5-10 billion budget. That is about 25% of there GDP so they can't raise that much. ------------The U.S has a $549.3 billion budget which is about 5% and can and most likely would be raised during such a war.----------NK only has 12-27 nuclear equivalent weapons with a max range insufficient to hitting the U.S alongside accuracy and success rates with a purported max yield of 6 to 40 kt-------The U.S has a purported 5,113 Nuclear capable weapons (indefinitely more) with a max range 13,000 km by land or 12,000 km by sub(another missing capability of KPA). U.S has a claimed max yield of 1.2 Mt, incomprehensibly more than that of NK.--------------Nk has no alliances but does have strong relations with China and Russia.---------------U.S has NATO(27) and the U.N has to count in some(many not "able" to go up against NK).-----------Over all, with better fundings, technology, resources, allies, and a larger fighting force along side many other factors like attempts to overtake the U.S position by{China, Russia} other countries, the U.S would ultimately destroy the KPA after a long fight. It would drag out, North Korea would probably resort to nuclear attempts, we would close ports down and isolate them and we would indefinitely be in a WWIII scenario and would end with another COLD WAR situation. Life would be filled with chaos and it would take years(probably 30-50) years to comeback to a stable-like outcome. Life would be chaos, filled with security searches, dogs, and imprisonments.
