North Korea & U.S.A

Postby Business Cat » Thu Aug 22, 2013 6:09 am

Okay, well, I have heard that North Korea is planning to attack U.S.A. Or U.S.A attacking North Korea. Either way, I find it odd since the fact that we done nothing to them. Or,... as far as I know of....

What might be your opinion on this matter? Do you think it's true?

North Korea is grossly overqualified as a place for the US to attack. It has something approaching a real military, and is actually near something of real value to the US other than the resources it contains (read: the ROK).

I'm not sure how North Korea is really going to attack the US, or why they'd bother.

"Yo Yankee Imperialists, we're off to invade somehow... through our ally Mexico or something just to check all the Clancy-readers' boxes"
"Oh no we will somehow get battered on our own turf over the span of some years, during which time nobody will do anything to lift a finger to help us"

Not that likely.

North Korea could only really hit Guam, provided Japan, South Korea, & China do nothing to prevent an attack, which in all likelihood they would.
North Korea is no threat to the USA.

Yeah, they might as well try - promptly becoming the world's largest parking lot.

No reason to, at the moment. The most the DPRK does right now is just saber-rattling.

Now let's be honest, from their perspective, the USA divided their homeland and gave the south half to "capitalist pigdogs".

I think it is a tad silly, and no, not true in the slightest.

NK is a communist dictatorship which has become a sort of a sadistic joke over the internetz. They're making nukes, and if they do anything with them, 'Murica will destroy them, and might just start World War III. c:

But those people are smart enough not to do that.

ITS A LIE! :p

USA won't attack north korea (i think) and north korea would be flushed of the map if it attacked USA and the Nato because the Chinese wouldn't help them. Beside North Korea could only invade south korea at the worst-case scenario because they have a weak navy compared to almost every medium size country.

Well, let's hope they have nothing against Canadians. Even so, I can see America calling it's hat to come and help when they could clearly handle Best Korea on their own.

We, and the rest of the Commonwealth alongside Britain and whoever would want to go and screw over NK a second time would just be insult to injury.

The north koreans keep up the anti American rhetoric to make thier population think they are a big deal. Same all over the world. Argentine economy goes to shit so they start talking about the Malvinas. Spanish economy goes to shit they get aggy about Gibraltar. It's all a distraction for the benefit of the north Korean citizens.

I dont see any war happening soon especially as the north now has a nuclear deterrent to drop on Seoul.

Look, America is the popular kid at school, and North Korea is the annoying, whiny kid who just plays video games, but keeps going on about how good he is at CoD, and how he has a rich dad (China), even though the dad doesn't give a crap about his son's life because he's too busy with work. And the popular kid would beat him in a fight any day, especially if he got his friends to fight as well, but doesn't want to look overly aggressive to his buddies, so just stays out of the weak kid's way.

There is the analogy.

Ridiculous. North Korea isn't stupid enough to attack the United States and the US sure as hell don't want an international backlash as a result of a random attack against North Korea.

No. North Korea will never attack the USA, it is tantamount to suicide.

Their missiles. Their hypothetical range allows them to hit Guam, provided Japan or South Korea don't stop the missile, which they are entirely capable of doing.

North Korean media SAY their missiles have that range. Everytime they test them they crash though.

I do think hitting Seoul is within thier capabilities and that is deterrent in itself because any war with the north would surely involve the ROK

Their ICBMS.... or so they say.

The whole world, of course, knows about the quality of North Korea's missiles.

If they hit Seoul, it's all over for them. The UN Security Council will turn against North Korea for good, and the United States will flatten that silly little regime.

I am making a big deal of it because it's your thread and your op, which notes the possibility of North Korea attacking the USA, which I'm convinced will never happen, because the N Korean regime knows the consequences. That's all. :P

Fixed.

I suspect any Japanese, South Korean, or American officers responsible for coordinating defense against North Korea's hilarious little missiles aren't losing any sleep.
