North Korea v USA Mega Merge.

Agent Smith

Found some leaked footage of one of the Missile launches yesterday

Chuck Stone

NK's nukes are only useful to it for defence.

They're also useful to US weapons manufacturers in creating a market for weapons.

U.S. sales of warplanes, anti-missile systems and other costly weapons to China's and North Korea's neighbors appear set for significant growth amid regional security jitters.

North Korea warns South president

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-21950139

Warning her against "slandering", it told Ms Park to behave with discretion to avoid "horrible disaster".

A basket case if ever there was one.

And what will that achieve, fran oconnor?

China will then become involved, not to mention South Korea and Japan. Millions will die.

Is that the way forward?

Didn't the stupid warmongers lose the last war they fought in Korea?

I don't think any war is winnable, really. What upsets me is the justification some use to wage a war. Blair and his acolytes, or the mess in Viet Nam.

I'd like to hear from fran oconnor as to what the justification is, starting a war because of some sabre rattling. And no, I'm no fan of the various Kim regimes but in the end, it's always the people who suffer the most in war.

Not much, but then again the US is simply not allowed use Nukes(is that right?). They got away with it before, but murdering an entire Nation of people is just ****ed.

Legally, the free world would be on not-too-shaky ground in using nuclear weapons against North Korea.

Adherence to the Nuclear non Proliferation Treaty guarantees that a Nuclear Weapons State signatory will not use nuclear weapons against Non Nuclear Weapons State signatories except in very severe, pre-defined circumstances. North Korea is presumably not a member of the NPT at all and therefore has no legal protection under it.

Not that I am suggesting that this be done pre-emptively to NK - I am not - but if the North Koreans were stupid enough to start a war, they could expect to be obliterated and the NPT at least would not protect them as they are not members.

It seems bizarre that any nation would worry about hypothetical legal proceedings in the face of a nuclear war, interesting stuff though!

No.

The war isn't over, it's just a ceasefire.

US will just nuke the sh*t out of them if they attack their ships. It'll be over in a day

If they gathered up all the Santa-fes ever made, and catapulted them over theN.Korean border, I wonder would that batter them into submission? The upside would be fewer Santa-fes on the worlds roads and with a bit of luck a Chrome bull-bar might clip Kimmy on its way past. I think this idea has a lot of merit.

I actually forgot about them, they're like the kid on the playground who gets bullied,but bottles it all up, then one day erupts and goes apeshi*t.

I still don't see them intervening if Korea attack first though.

They will be quite willing to dispose of the DPR if it is Tubby-il-Sung who kicks off.

I think we need to...

NK don't have the stones to make the first move. Doubt they want to either, it's a death sentence either way.

Wouldn't surprise me if there isn't a North Korean cargo ship packed to the rafters with North Korean Marines registered under a different flag steaming toward some small US held island in the Pacific or some other location. It would be an unbelievable propaganda move if they invaded someplace with a tiny US garrison and captured it or even landed in the States. Be something to watch on TV.

"First we tell the Americans we're going to attack them, then we launch our attack! The Americans would never expect us to do something so stupid, yet so devious. It's so simple even an idiot could have devised it, utterly foolproof. Now, fetch me more battlecake, the game is afoot.'

We've already had ''unplanned maneuvers'' from the Russian military. Who's man enough to front up to those dudes?

I see a flaw in your theory. Actually, I see two, but ones more of an underestimation.

USA had B52 bombers flying over South Korea.

i doubt the yanks will bomb it , they have a hard time finding something worth bombing.

COYW

On a more serious note, I'd say South Korea are bricking themselves. Kim Jong-Un is either a complete nutter or wants out of the supreme leader gig already. The Americans will wipe them out in 48 hours with a few coffee breaks.
