NK Missiles Options

A senior official from the DPRK visiting Xi'an says "there'll be no war" then goes on to say "so send as many tourists as possible" Love that attitude.

Well, that's possibly the end of this "who's the man in the house' phase.

Jesus please don't tell me that nearly triggering a second Korean war was for the lulz.

[GDIZOCOM]

This makes me think they're crazy enough to do anything BUT start an actual war, because everyone knows what direction that will head to.

Ahh yes, the complete and utter destruction of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which, except for problem of dealing with the uncountable number of brainwashed into loyalty, starving AND angry Nork refugees, isn't a such bad thing to happen, it'll at least be one LESS despotic Rogue State in the world an at least some peace and quiet in Asia.

...isn't a such bad thing to happen, it'll at least be one LESS despotic Rogue State in the world an at least some peace and quiet in Asia.

Except for the possibility of millions of casualties, an entire generation of South Koreans scarred with PTSD and a failed state between China, Russia and SK that leaks refugees, weapons, chemical agents, nuclear assets, disenfranchised militaries and fugitive war criminals into all directions. In other words: Trade a decade-long, largely rhetorical conflict for a hotbed of political instability. Also, even if SK manages to survive the hypothetical war largely unscathed - assuming that Seoul, one of the most important economic centres in Asia, somehow doesn't get semi-levelled by massed artillery fire - its economy would go down the drain the instant they tried to take responsibility for NK's integration/reconstruction, which they'd have to do if they want to avoid the whole failed state thing described above. A typical rock/hard place dilemma.

Excuse me guys, I was wrong, we are far from the end of the lulz.

If israel was a neigthboard of korea they would have destroyed their facilities looong time ago.and if i was sk ,i would have do the same

Also i doubt sk will take nk.the people are now much more different ,specially in the north,where they are totally brainwashed and would put resistance to the south

You throw a stone across the border and they might zerg rush you in mere hours. Not an option. Especially since the country is a black hole in terms of intelligence, noone really knows what's actually going on inside.

[Serialkillerwhal...]

North Korean Missile misfires, Hits Pyongyang.
Headlines just write themselves.

[Warpath]

Wouldn't this lead to even more economy killing sanctions being imposed on the Norks.

[Comr4de]

Daily Show.

Let's be real, he just wants to show the world he's wearing big boy pants.

[Maxner12]

Latest developments: they actually shut down Kaesong http://www.euronews.com/2013/04/03/n-korea...ndustrial-zone/
Time to get a bit worried, maybe? Or just bs again

[Warpath]

Wow, the idiot really did it, well the Norks can definitely say goodbye to their economy, and with the restart of their nuclear program we can expect even more sanctions against them, good job fucking up your nation Kim Fuck Un!

I'm not particularly worried, barring nukes and their Spec Ops the Nork Military ain't THAT much of a threat, yes they can devastate Seoul and kill thousands but aside from that not much else, this is just plain Nork bullshitery to force the world to give 'em what they want.

This is going to be decisive. Apparently, they have locked down Kaesong on the past, but never permanently - obviously. They can keep this up until their economy starts to feel the loss. At that point, they'll either back down and de-escalate the situation to normal (by the standards of the Korean conflict) or they launch an attack.

I think they are chosing to attack,they have place a missile on their east coast to try to attack usa.if they launched it,they economic crisis would be a small problem

[Maxner12]

Seems it's kind of a permanent lockdown, as they have asked the SK firms there to get lost. Also, durrhurr, we will mercilessly erase americuh from the map!

http://www.euronews.com/2013/04/04/north-k...ike-against-us/

Sidenote: the hell wants a war there, especially if it involves any kind of nuclear stuff. That would make the world even more paranoid and shift the countries towards police-states even more possibly.
Not to mention: if this turns into a full-scale war and NK gets leveled, you can bet that the black market from Russia and China will immediatly try to seize some assets in NK. And then who knows where those stuff ends up.

[Pepo]

The north is going to star producing plutonium again in six months.i think they want to enter a M.A.D(mutual assure destrucion)state with the us so that they aren't attacked

[Warpath]

Do the Norks REALLY want to be bombed to the stone age, there antagonizing EVERYBODY, even the Chinese and Ruskies, there only allies!

On a side question; how well maintained is there equipment?

[Pepo]

On a side question; how well maintained is there equipment?

they have a huge army and lots of rifles,but they are older than the ones of sk(basically ak-47 and akm,a small number of ak-74(local copy)).their tanks are old and lack of advance targeting systems(their most advance tank is the t-62,and the most numerus chinese t-55 copies).their airforce is no match to their rivals and their navy too,usually focus on small boats and submarines.most of their material is old and not really good.their main strentgh are their numbers,but the south can stop then with their army.also usa can take out their forces from the sky and support the south in ground combat

[Serialkillerwhal...]

Good lord, it's really starting.

Well, expect panicing from anyone smart enough to read news and stupid enough to overreact.

[Shiro]

Well, they have apparently shipped a missile to their east coast and are preparing to launch it. No doubt it will be shot down. What I am ever so slightly afraid of is that it might be a decoy and a black operation already went along to transport a nuke by ship somewhere else.

[Maxner12]

Well, that escalated quickly: http://www.euronews.com/2013/04/05/n-korea...sy-evacuations/
I still think this is all about "who's da man in da house" rather than actually gearing up to start a war.

[Warpath]

This could still be typical Nork BS, though considering they loaded 2 nukes missiles, (link: CNN Report) I'm hoping they don't go apeshit insane.

[Serialkillerwhal...]

whelp, they're about to try and shoot the US.

yeah, this is gonna be good.

[Warpath]

Yeah, they ain't gonna do it.... maybe, if they do I can think of a modified quote that can sum up the outcome.

"I don't know what weapons the North Koreans use in the second Korean war, but I know that they will use sticks and stones if there is a third."

Guess where the quote originally came from.
