North Korea has a successful nuclear test (North Korea's Nuclear Weapons)

Also what's this about KJII going to china? I thought he was seriously ill. I'm clearly living under a rock.

Get out.

knock it off guys.

This just in:

"Our army and people will promptly react to any 'punishment' and 'retaliation' and to any 'sanctions' infringing upon our state interests with various forms of tough measures including an all-out war" - North Korean National Defence Commission statement

S. Korea might not be wanting to go to war, but it looks like the North is gearing up for it. Perhaps their resources are nearing an end? I've seen hundreds of photos smuggled out of N. Korea, as I'm sure all of you have, and shit looked like their belts were pretty tight. Japanese pre-ww2 mentality? Start local and then hit the big boys? Or will someone step up and help them, defying UN sanctions?

Fuck.

I heard, theyll declare war if SK retaliates for the sunken ship last March.

No need, they've been at war for 60 years now


e:

north korea can basically do whatever the fuck it wants minus crossing the DMZ and nothing will happen because

1.Seoul won't exist anymore along with the 2 million people in it
2. China

*edit*
3. North Korea straight up does not give a fuck

[paladin]

isnt seoul within artillery range anyway?

You'd think they'd move the capital some time in the 50(?) year ceasefire.

Tension brewing, but not yet war.

N. Korea severs all ties with S. Korea

I don't know if this is the right thread for it, but it seemed close.

Isn't NK's military pretty much its entire population? If it went to war, wouldn't everyone would be fair game in that retrospect (no collateral damage)?

Someone give NK's boss a fucking bottle already.

"North Korea's leader ordered its 1.2 million-member military to get ready for combat."
That sounds about right.
That said, Kim Jong Il hasn't been seen in public for a pretty long time.
So it's entirely possible the leadership is getting edgy maybe due to ill health which would probably compromise or at least undermine the leaderships power.
Last I was told by a friend from near there, the population see their leader as all that is good in humanity and would do anything to protect him, always referencing to him as their "dear leader".
If the numbers above to be believe and the the entire military doe's in fact get mobilized there will not be a single chance the US can have any hope of protecting the S. Koreans as well as fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
That's my personal take on all this anyway.
