N Korea 'combat posture to hit US'

Jimbuna · 03-26-13, 09:02 AM

More sabre rattling or a very real death wish?

Quote:

North Korea says it has ordered artillery and rocket units into "combat posture" to prepare to target US bases in Hawaii, Guam and the US mainland.
The announcement, carried by KCNA news agency, follows days of strong rhetoric from Pyongyang.

Maybe...maybe not.

The 'joker' may decide not to joke any longer and set off a few firecrackers over the DMZ at Seoul....the south may well respond and a nasty escalation may ensue.

How many weeks is it now that EVERY SINGLE DAY new threats come flying down the wires from the North?

'lil fat man seems he cannot bear it to open a newspaper in the morning without His Northern Gloriousness being mentioned on page one. It's his way to participate in events on the big wide shiny global stage.

Maybe somebody should send him a book on yoga excercises, he seems to have an ego in cramps.

Have just been hearing an expert to asia talking about this crisis

He said that this rhetoric is something different from the usual thing they use to do. Mostly they are pointing their rhetoric against South and USA in combination.

Is it just one of their usual big-in-mouth-schedule, or??

The NK ruler is just young enough, and he grew up just insulated enough to have an unrealistic view of the true ramifications if he starts a shooting war. Especially since the last two times he has pulled the trigger there was no response from either SK or the US other than strong words.

I think at some point we're going to have to slap them and slap them hard.

Still, it makes a welcome change from the numerous gun/second amendment/Obama is going to put us all into FEMA death camps conspiracy threads.

South Korea is a different matter, and always quite serious. The joke I read was about hitting Guam, Hawaii, and the US mainland.

Well the Norks will hit something with those missiles. Probably ocean but they will hit it!
