The rockets are probably too unreliable to hit the USa, but the world's second biggest economy and the region's staunchest US ally is well within reach.

South Korea can be easily annihilated by conventional means, but Japan is a big fat nuke magnet. It's not like there will be any love lost in that little exchange. With Japan's constitution limiting its milliatry options and causing a enough confusion to let a sneaky missile evade the Patriot, Aegis and other anti missile systems, it's not unlikely that in the event of a "shootin' war" we'd see mushroom clouds over the land of the rising sun.

As a resident of greater Tokyo, it's not something I'd like to see. My dad said seeing the bones of his hand in front of his face off Montebello was pretty amazing, but I'll pass....

???

They are unreliable to hit the US, so you claim, by that you conclude they can hit Europe nevertheless?

Or have you confused economy sizes? The IMF marks the US GDP at 14.3 trillion $US in January 2009 , Eurostat marks the EU GDP with 17.43 trillion $US (=12.506 trillion euros) in May 2009.

Chinese GDP ranks at around 7-8 trillion $US, Japan at around 5 trillion $US.

If we would note them, they probably would not be worth to be called special forces.

What do you guys think of NK's latest outburst? Is it just an attention grabber so they feel important or do you think they will seriously consider fulfilling such a crazy adventure? SK would be hit badly but the North would get absolutely wasted...

They cerztainly already plan again to sell nuclear knowhow and tech-help, that'S why the S-Korea's joining of the American anti-prilifareation initiative makes them so noisy - having your ships searched when you want to use them for smuggling is somewhat damaging to your intentions. The North'S situation is desperate, a total no win-situation in all regards. Also, the man is ill, maybe temrinally ill, and he is old.

Fear the old men. They have nothing to lose.

German media reported the Russians have started preparing for a nuclear war on the korean peninsula by mobilising counter-ABC troops and sending them into the region. It was also reported in Russian media.
