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

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?

I had read somewhere that the young ruler of North korea was a game player, but this is all I could find: http://www.vice.com/en_se/read/north...me-is-terrible

I know what I'm about to say will become a flak magnet. Here's fair warning.

One of these days, I hope they put some action into those words. Anyone can talk. When they attack us, we'll just send in the troops and end this once and for all. We should've finished Korea in the 50's.

OPINION OPINION OPINION! I know that war is never the answer and that we shouldn't send our boys off to die. (I'm about to that age where I'd probably be going.) I don't want a big war to happen....but North Korea has it coming.

Once again. Strictly my opinion! The DPRK needs to go.

What does this look like to you?:






Kim Jong Un inspects “new” military technology made by unit 1501 of the Korean People’s Army

The photo at the top of this page helps to make my point, but first a bit of background.
It is true that the North Korean military is very big, one of the world’s largest standing armies: 1.1 million troops! 4,200 tanks! 820 fighter jets! It’s also, by virtue of Pyongyang’s “military first” policies, perhaps the most privileged and best funded arm of the state, maybe outside of Kim Jong Un’s personal piggy banks.
Even the military’s size and political backing, though, can’t make up for North Korea’s isolation and impoverishment. Most of those fighter jets, for example, will never take off because the regime can’t afford enough fuel to fill them up. Even if they could somehow procure enough jet fuel, the fighters “would have been shot out of the sky in the first few hours of a conflict,” Dartmouth professor and North Korea-watcher Jennifer Lind told NPR recently. The tanks, likewise, are old and inferior.
North Korean propaganda frequently tries to make the case that, not only is their national army fearless and enormous, but it’s also breathtakingly advanced. This propaganda is for domestic consumption, of course, but seeing it from the outside is a nice reminder of the wide technological gap between North Korea and its neighbors South Korea and Japan, not to mention the United States.
Take the above photo, just released by North Korean state media from leader Kim Jong Un’s big trip to visit Unit 1501 of the Korean People’s Army, which is reportedly developing new and exciting military technology.

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.

Which wasn't the fault of you or the perfectly good message, though, so I recycled it.
