Dang no son?! What will he do?! Did you notice all the men are smiling; while all the women are frowning?
It all feels like a lot of NK's typical saber rattling when a new "Dear leader" comes into power, but if he does go Nuclear, it will be the shortest war in history.
If they do anything, I think they'll start with a cyberattack and then a tactical nuclear strike. There was some rumors they basically crippled South Korea about a week or two ago with one.
it wasn't propoganda. were probably testing it out. http://articles.washingtonpost.com/2011-08-29/world/35271097_1_bank-incident-bank-attack-cyberattack
well, you're talking about a country who basically wants to go to war just to "get it out of their system".
...it is a fascinating read! For someone in the know about the "Road to Serfdom", I am amazed that you are marching to these war drums
its an authorization to strike, not a declaration of war. semantics. you've got to know how the rest of the world works. something is going to eventually happen here. just a matter of time.
that remains to be seen. there's really no strategic advantage for the US to go in there to do anything, however, if NK were to do something at all, i don't think they really care, they just want to make a splash. my view is they'll try something, then hide behind China.
China wont help them. Not now. China relies on the "free-world" right now. Like I said above, if they do something and force us to call an embargo on them; they are fucked financially. There is no incentive for them to get involved. North Korea has publicly threatened they would send a nuclear strike against the United States. We can't wait for an attack because a nuclear attack could kill millions, not thousands. This type of attack could wipe out the population of a major city like Los Angeles. We have Japan and South Korea, being a huge income stream for our export too. IF North Korea attacks either one of those countries, it could be a world-wide economic disaster.
That's the scary part. You are exactly right because any nuke sent their way would kill many in NK, SK, Japan, China, etc. We need a precision strike that eliminates the threat. South Korea is already a democratic society that could come in and restructure their government.
Launch missiles on North Korea with fake chemical weapons in them from inside Iran and let the two of 'em duke it out...
Wtf?! Conspiracy theory or what?! Nazis occupy a large part of the CIA? Nazis assassination of Roosevelt? This dude is crazy!!!!
I agree with this. Even with nonagression treaties they must have with a few other countries, if they start something China isn't going to just come and bail them out. It's a tough call whether or not NK will try something small to test the waters. I think it's 50/50, but if they do it'll probably a few shells lobbed over that do little to no damage. I wonder if all this tough talk isn't for a completely different reason. As the world gets more sophiticated with the internet and other things, NK people must fully know they are treated like crap by a dictator that doesn't care about them. After seeing so many people starve to death under the current despot's father, I think the son is on a short leash to an internal coup or revolution. So, he starts this up, purges some leaders and solidifies the military and some people with the 'us against them' stuff.
