Topic: North Korea Threatens Nuclear Attack as U.S. and South Korea Begin Drills - page 2. (Read 1663 times)

Maybe this technology is not high tech but they have ballistic rockets. I see they have high morale of army and majority believe in leader. This is perfect situation for US to repeat mistake same as Vietnam.
They were without technology, they fought from underground bunkers and save their dignity against superior enemy.

Northern Korea is a big baloon and it, has nothing except old technology nuclear missiles. Manpower is useful for defending homeland againist to occupation. Whereas North Korea economocaly is not strong and stands by support of China and Russia.

And we all know what this means.
Real aggressor here is US government with warmongering policy.
And always you have dictators and hidden weapons or other danger, as a excuses.
Problem here and UN security Council don't have different views, so they approve actions.. Wonder why?

Yes.... Yes it is....

It's funny how Kim Jong-un says that he wants to preemptively strike American because we are the aggressors.  Isn't that a little ironic.

Couldnt agree more about that,they dont have the power to do their own will against south korea,Kim Jong Un is just jealous how rich south korea is.

North Korea is China's bitch, we've seen this behaviour before, if North Korea really did attack South Korea without warning China would just cut off all contact with them and let North Korea kill themselves trying to attack, it's just Kim Jong Un trying to show his strength and make it look like they're standing up to the evil South Korean imperialists.

North korea cant do anything about it,north korea just brag and threatens everyone but if you look at their military might,they are the poorest of poor.
They might be back up by china but still their military might sucks.

Only nation that have used nuclear weapon against another nation is US.
Israel with its Nuclear arsenal is also threat on Middle east, but i don't see US will do anything about that.
Hypocrisy of the west. Constant pressure with threats has done its, they must defend it's sovereignty. And they are bluffing.

Probably neither China nor Russia would be extremely happy if the US would start nuking one of their "allies"/business partners right next to their borders. I guess the US decision makers perfectly know this, so probably they not going to do anything stupid. Hopefully China can also keep the koreans on a short lead.

I agree. The fat boy only cares about his power in the DPRK. All of his statements just for the people of his country to say "Wow! What a great leader we have!" He wants to live and enjoy his luxury life among the millions of brainwashed slaves. He will never launch a nuke attack until his power is threatened.

Country alongside would also be caught as collateral.

That depends on relations with China. I think long distances missles and ground troops are more likely than nuclear missles.

Given the large number of brainwashed troops in the North, the short distance to key positions in the South, and the assumption that the North will use nuclear weapons or WMDs when stressed, a quick U.S. tactical nuclear response with smaller warheads seems likely if the North invades the South in force. China would do a lot of posturing and eventually come in to pick up the burned pieces.

I think these threats are just talking and will not happen for real because it is not the first time for North Korea to do so.
I even doubt if they have a Nuclear bombs or they are still trying to create it

The problem is that along with North Korea, Japan and South Korea will be gone as well (probably Taiwan and Hawaii as well). Do you want 300 million dead people? Just ignore the fat boy, and everything will be fine. He is not going to launch any nukes, unless someone invades DPRK first. So until Hitlery become the POTUS, there is no chance of a North Korean nuke attack.

Comedy? They can do serious damage in South Korea and Japan.
If the superpowers wanted, North Korea would be gone in 3 months.
There is nothing to gain in North Korea for them.

It is not first time Kim threatens with nuclear attacks, he was doing same thing before three years but most possibly he still cant mount his nuclear devices and deliver. In my opinion, he is just exploring power that nuclear weapons give to him but it is horrifying one psychopath control such weapon. If no one stop him before, he will sooner or later have H bombs and rockets capable to make his threats real and then will be very hard to do anything about. I think that guy is crazy enough to order nuclear attack and his slaves retarded enough to obey command and hit red button no sweat.

Does anyone still believe that North Korea will launch a nuclear attack?
It`s a comedy.

SEOUL, South Korea — North Korea on Monday threatened to launch nuclear strikes at the United States and its military bases in Northeast Asia as the United States and South Korea began one of their annual large-scale joint military exercises.

Thousands of American Marines and other troops arrived in South Korea in the past week for the exercises, which will involve 17,000 American and 300,000 South Korean troops. The drills test the allies’ ability to respond to North Korean attacks on the Korean Peninsula.

North Korea has made similar threats before, characterizing the exercises as rehearsals for an invasion. But this year, tensions are raised even higher because of the North’s recent nuclear test and the ensuing international condemnations.

Last month, after the North launched a long-range rocket to put a satellite into orbit, the South Korean Defense Ministry announced that this year’s drills would be the largest ever. The nuclear-powered aircraft carrier John C. Stennis will join the exercises, the American and South Korean militaries said in a joint statement on Monday.

In its statement, North Korea threatened to launch “all-out offensive” and “pre-emptive” nuclear strikes against “U.S. imperialist aggressor forces bases in the Asia-Pacific region and the U.S. mainland,” the North’s top governing agency, the National Defense Commission, said in the statement.

The statement was carried by the North’s official Korean Central News Agency.

“If we push the buttons to annihilate the enemies even right now, all bases of provocations will be reduced to seas in flames and ashes in a moment,” the statement said.
