Just how much POL does "Dear Leader" have on hand assuming he's stupid
enough to start a war.

He doesn't need much, he'll get everything he wants and more from China just
like in '50.

I rather doubt that, China has been giving the DPRK
just enough fuel and food to prevent collapse. The
China of today needs access to world markets,
ultimately they value that more highly than any links
with the DPRK.

They, like South Korea, are rather keen to prevent a complete collapse
of the North Korean "economy", because that would lumber them with
millions of refugees.

When and if war breaks out China will supply the DPRKs with everything they
need to at the very least not loose that war, just as they did in the past.
China has face to loose, highly important in Asian societies, when their
client nation gets defeated by capitalists.
And not only that, they don't want a strong South Korea allied with Japan on
their southern border.

China will do no such thing.
It would be bad for business....
