Strike on North Korea

[mapuc]

Have been thinking a bit after having read Oberon's comment in this thread and what this military expert said on Danish TV.

What do we the ordinary people know about NK's military capability to response or revenge a Strike from US military ?

I'm pretty sure that US government and its military knows a whole lot more than I do about what NK have and don't have.

Then why don't you?

That would be the difference between real altruistic drive and empty ideological statements.

Oh, that's mean. How are you so sure my words are empty ideological statements? Do my contributions to the Red Cross and United Way count? Altruism is formed by ideological belief.

I ain't a native speaker, but your original message implied that you do not conduct such activities at this time.

From this implication I have derived that your statements are empty ideological ones, as they are not supported by action.

As to the ideology - the worst tyrants are those who believe in morality of their tyrany.

North Korean state media warned the United States of a "super-mighty preemptive strike" after U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the United States was looking at ways to bring pressure to bear on North Korea over its nuclear programme.

"In the case of our super-mighty preemptive strike being launched, it will completely and immediately wipe out not only U.S. imperialists' invasion forces in South Korea and its surrounding areas but the U.S. mainland and reduce them to ashes," it said.

Sounds like a threat a over the top threat.

Yes I bet the US is shaking in their boots!!

A "super-mighty preemptive strike"? Maybe we can respond with "super-dooper, Lawd-Amighty, bend-over-and-kiss-it-goodbye" strike...

There have been reports Russia is moving its own troops to the North Korean border:

In other reports Russian officials are flatly denying the reports:

Well, given the past track record of Russia (just ask Ukraine), the Russian denials most likely means they are massing troops on NK's border...

Many years ago I saw some kind of program in this a Chinese person said We have developed these longrange ASM for one purpose only-When he said this they showed a picture of the Big E.

North Korea does not really have a fleet that would consider to be a real threat to China, from what I know.

So why have China put their bombers on high alert ? Is it to engage the North Korean Navy even though their ordinary navy vessel very well could do this by them self

Or is there an another reason to why China has taken this step.

A status check for planning. How many, that are based in range, can actually fly?

As a Chinese targeteer, WMD sites and tels would be first...and repeated.

If N. Korea falls, internally, access to such weapons should not be allowed. I suspect China is seeing the bigger picture.
