N Korea 'combat posture to hit US'

Jimbuna · 03-26-13, 09:19 AM

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??

they do this all the time. they run out of rice for the people Hennessy for the leaders and just make some noise and it's all fixed

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.

I would agree. We don't need to escalate the situation. But we need to be watchful and prepared. I hope we are talking long and hard with the Chinese about this?

It's still a young thread.

Also good for strutting warmongers who want to blow up the planet because its their time of the month.

That's exactly what the North Koreans want!

Well Daddy made him a Major General before he died and Jr. never spend a day in the military, so anything is possible.
He comes from a long line of Fab leaders. Grand dad started the Korean War, which he couldn't finish even with the help of the Chinese. Daddy made a lot of noise but other than allowing millions of his own people to die of starvation did little else. Like someone else said, every time they need money or food or attention, living in a country cut off from the rest of the world isn't easy, they make a lot of noise to get everyones attention.
They would have a hard time attacking themselves let alone the U.S.
