N. Korea Vows to Nuke US

[Kevin_Kennedy]

Most people consider a nuclear capability a "developement", evidently you don't.

Also, why do we need to wait for them to be a threat to "the U.S."? All they need to do is be able to strike at Japan, or South Korea. You know, where plenty of US military are located....not to mention the citizens of those countries whose lives are at stake.

You mean South Korea and Japan who are also both far more developed than North Korea in their own right, and who are both under the protection of the United States?

Nuclear capability is a development, in and of itself, but it's not necessarily impressive. Without the resources to make that development relevant, as in the case of North Korea, it's not threatening.

So what if South Korea and Japan are "more developed"? They aren't totalitarian communist regimes that are threatening anybody. And just because they, as well as the US, are more "developed", doesn't mean they wouldn't be susceptible to an attack or that their defenses are absolutely impervious to a nuclear strike.

The point is that by themselves Japan and South Korea are more than capable of defending themselves from any North Korean aggression, let alone with the aid of the U.S. North Korea's missiles fail to launch as often as they succeed, and they're constantly making empty threats. Why do we need to get scared of every tinpot dictator with no teeth?

I say let NKorea nuke Japan, I'm not sure they learned their lesson yet. So just to be sure.

North Korea is a threat in a conventional war, but it would be a human wave war causing severe casualties. It's better to just let them run their mouths.

Perhaps. I'm not a military tactician obviously, but I'm certainly not concerned by a third-world country's pitiful nuclear weapons program. Especially in comparison to the U.S.'s arsenal.

in that case you should be their supreme high commander

Bomb him. We're still at war with NK, right?

But he's a coward. If he tries it, he'll try to sneak something small in through a boat or something. And if we find that boat or car on US soil, we'll take him out with a drone before he can set it.........er, oh. Wait a mintue..........maybe not.

great now we have yet another nutter to deal with.


some rich spoiled brat who has been told all his life that he is better than all other human beings

We've had to deal with power hungry men in N Korea since the 1950s. Why do you act like this is a new threat?

 

[bucs90]

I played that video game "Homefront" where North Korea invades. We won, dont worry, the NK's sucked, I blasted them with my M16!

You want us to deal with a government that cannot possibly realistically threaten the United States? Why?

And why should we assume that they can't realistically threaten us?

Im sure when Hitler was making his threats about murdering certain segments of his population the people were likewise saying "He can't possibly do that"

Personally, when evil men with political power say they are going to do something, it's probably a good idea to atleast consider that they are serious about it.

How to respond to the threat, is a question that isnt easy to decide. But let's not just ignore him.

You can click on the active military in the link and have it ranked. North Korea has the 4th largest active military in the world and 8,200,000 in reserve. That's the largest reserve military in the world.

A war with North Korea will get a lot of people killed, because they will attack the south.

Looks like little Kim is hitting puberty.

Probably trying to impress a girl he likes or something.

 

[boilermaker55]

What an asinine post.
Hey, here is an idea. Grab your AR-15 and go slaughter as many N. Korean's as you can, okay dumbass.

So much for the idea that Obama was going to unite the World in peaceful harmony. Well, at least Obama got his well deserved Peace prize.

I volunteered to fight communists and didn't hide out with the Civil Air Patrol, pinching teenage girl's asses.

if he was educated in Europe he should know better.....he knows the outside aint like his old man said it was....

It's really difficult to get a good read on this guy. Does he actually buy into this role of military aggressor, or is he worried that those from the old guard would put an end to his reign should he choose a different path? It is possible that he is playing out this role to appease the military until he is more secure that he won't be overthrown. Of course, he could be even more of a nut than his father, so who knows.

NK has went down the path of a rogue state and is caught in their own trap. Illegal activity in weapons counts for something like around 40% of their cash. The place looks like a black hole at night from space.

(My bold)

You should take a look @ OPLAN 5027 - there's an entry @ Wiki, but more detail @ OPLAN 5027 Major Theater War - West This one only runs to 2008. US military planners don't think much of NK's military transport/supply. They do respect all the tube weapons.

 

[Gracie]

NK is crazy enough to try. What happens if another country supplies NK with the ability to do it? I doubt something could hit the White House but it damn sure can hit the west coast.

Never laugh at threats. Never say never. And don't ignore something as serious as this. Most are snickering at it but I sure am not.

Oh, and I consider Rodman the new Jane Fonda.
