The North Korea Juche Songun Anti-Imperialist Megathread

[Frisivisia]

Meant to get Condunum, goddamnit.

It's not happy hour at the White House is it, Joe?

It's always happy hour at the White House. I just haven't started yet.

@OP: Add a poll, I think it will be the most overwhelmingly one sided poll that NSG has ever had.

[Dejanic]

No one except Maoist Rebel News is.

[Dusk_Kittens]

It's like asking if Paris Hilton is news-worthy.

[Indira]

NK are the trolls of international politics. They keep making threats they've never acted on since the ceasefire.

[German Shepherds]

I'm guessing the person who voted "Yes" is being sarcastic

[The Romulan Republic]

Yes. Obviously America could beat them, and I doubt they can do everything they're claiming they can do, but they could do a lot of damage, and they've made the situation so tense with these threats that its making a war more likely.

[German Shepherds]

"Yes" shouldn't even have 2 votes unless people are being sarcastic...

[Seleucas]

I take it as seriously as the weird, unpopular, wimpy kid mumbling about killing the jocks that are picking on him. Maybe he might do something, but I think there are more proximate concerns in such a situation.

In this case, though, the jocks carry body armor and assault rifles to school.

If the missiles were to launch they would take 3 days to get to their targets in the US. The Air Force would have them destroyed in 5 minutes.
And statistics show the US Air Force can take out the entire NK Air Force in 100 Hours only with the forces in South Korea

They could send the missiles by Federal Express, it'll be faster.

Assuming that their missiles even work...

[The Romulan Republic]

I think any threat to use nuclear weapons should be taken seriously. Just like anything that increases the chance a war will happen should be taken seriously.

Yup.

Do you have credible sources?

In any case, a lot of people on the Korean peninsula would die. And North Korea doesn't have to hit the mainland of America. They could fire at Hawaii or Guam.

Not taking a nation seriously, at least somewhat, is stupid.

The US Government is, they have Air Force on the doorstep of NK.

[Hathradic States]

A wee bit. The main difference between now and every other time they've done this shit is that their leader actually believes this bullshit. Kim Il-Sung and Kim Jong-Il both had more humble beginnings, and probably knew they were full of shit. Kim Jong-Un has been raised as the son of a god, and his generals are all too young to remember the last war. It may not happen soon, but disaster on the Korean Peninsula will happen.

Had it there for a very, very long time now, too.

And more dependable

Seoul would be wiped out in the first five minutes. The Reds have around a million pieces pointed there, iirc.

Frankly, I am much more worried about the US and SK pushing NK into a corner than this supposed nuke 'threat.' (For such a reason as you mentioned, and more.)

It would suck. And, if war did break out. China would sweep down and occupy before the US could. They don't want us on their border.

Kim Jong-il did not have humble beginnings, and was just as spoiled as his son, Kim Jong-un. Nothing indicates that Kim Jong-un has been indoctrinated, either. He was educated abroad in Switzerland, and is probably too young and inexperienced to be tasked with most of these decisions. He's probably more crucial as a legitimiser than an actual decision-maker.
