North Korea readying rockets to aim at U.S. targets

[ToffeeMike]

North Korea have been granted its final approval for a nuclear attack on the U.S.

F**king hell.

*prays for north korea.....

 

[Blue Truth]

just bomb the idiots already

This is probably the result of some kid being raised to believe all the propaganda that his dad and granddad put out there.

 

[Jags..class]

Jack Bauer will sort it out.

Literally just shaking my head at the whole situation. I just don't know.

Apparently their Nukes would be taken out within minutes of being in the air. If they launched one US would take it down and it would in turn sign their own death warrant.

I think the danger is perhaps that South Korea could potentially take some hits.

I mean I don't think anyone really takes North Korea too seriously

Over the last 2 years ive taken to learn about North Korea ive read 4 books and read alot of articles online, been up to date with the current situations etc... i still cant see how they dont take them too serious when they have the biggest active personnel army including reserve and paramilitary in the world... sure they don't have the tech the west and south korea do but come on... over 8 million people trained in combat and ready to walk over the border if they truly wanted to... baffles me.

One tactical nuke would cripple North Korea's ability to function.

Propaganda possibly. The USA's Anti Ballistic Missile defences are still in their infancy.

Hahaha, yea, although they're allegedly better now, remember the Scud propaganda during the Iraq war?

Brennan, do you mean this:

It'd be near impossible for North Korea to mobilise anything like 8 million people without significant aid from an ally (unlikely), they simply don't have the resources, even if they divert all of their vital supplies (food, water etc) from civilians.

And as Brennan said, it'd be quite easy to cripple NK (even without using a nuclear weapon).

Didn't NK's last nuclear missile launch destroy itself upon take off; the furthest bit of debris managed to travel 180 miles.

Maybe minutes it's an overexageration then, but isn't that what they've just moved to guam?

Which is essentially why no one is even remotely worried about the current developments. It's just propaganda for his own personal gain amongst his people

1) I believe it to be improbable that the USA would retaliate towards any aggression from NK using nukes.

2) I've got two words for you that, in conventional warfare, would render the North Koreans impotent. Those words are Air and Superiority.

Either launched from carriers or from South Korea, any conventional attack from NK would be dealt with rather swiftly from the air.
