North Korea....

[willie wacker]

So long as they keep it between themselves I say let them at it..........It will happen some day with that nut in charge.

No it won,t , he,s stupid but not that stupid
He know,s they would get their asses kicked
China won,t help
They need to keep selling to the west

[Jiberjabber]

These guys are on a war footing for tears and have nuclear bombs - a few rockets have been sent already by both sides - so it could escalate quickly - keep your heads down for the next few days..

Ah would ya stop.

They've been taking potshots at each other since the end of the Korean war. At the end of that war there was a real threat of NK invading and winning because they had the stronger force militarily and there was widespread rebellion within SK society. That's not the case now, SK are well armed, well focused and well capable. If it were really to kick off tomorrow then there'd be a new McDonald'd opening on main street Pyongyang by next Tuesday and no threat of a nuclear weapon would stop it. The Kim dynasty has devastated NK.

Let's not forget that SK is a world economics stabilizing force and it is within everyone's interest that it remains unaffected in every sense of the word.

that and they literally couldn't launch a firework in N. Korea. If anywhere we should be worried about it's India /Pakistan. Their proximity to less stable parts of the Middle east and own steady amounts of sectarianism(?) mean really we should be more worried about them.

Nothing tinfoil hat about that at all, India/Pakistan is a very real and present threat. As you say, the proximity to less stable regions. But more serious the battle that is going on within their own borders. Pakistan is constantly fighting an internal war against the fundamentalists. Worrying as the military dictatorship concept is, if it weren't for that in Pakistan there'd probably be a wing of the right wing Muslim nutters with a finger on a Nuclear weapon. Say what you want about the Kim dynasty but at the end of the day they'll fly a white flag, the whole world knows what radical Islam's policies are when it comes to taking prisoners.

[Zealot7]

Good thing I went there in 2013 so.

Wouldn't want to be planning a trip there now.

[lebunk88]

Doesn't he do this all the time? I've a friend from South Korea and he reckons it's all bullshit to remind the world NK is there.
