What could possibly go wrong with an act of agression?


By an americans against a SSBN. There would be no consequences for relations with third parties.

I also thought that Putin should ask himself that, but i did not see much reluctance yet.

We will just let the western version of RT deal with the official reportage
edit: maybe China will take care of it themselves

Well, then don't blame us if there are mushroom clouds over your cities as the result of this.


Attacking SSBNs can end very spicy very quickly, especially if there is existing tension.

Especially if there is a third party watching, as this third party may misinterpret the attack on the SSBN as an attack on them.

Not to mention how it would be perceived by other SSBN operators, ie Russia/PRC.

I was talking about DPRK's deliverable nuclear weapons.
They currently have both the ICBMs and the portable thermonuclear bombs.
And if common IC accessments are to be believed (heh) they are getting towards having more of both than either UK or France have in the mid term.


You really should get used to mutual vulnerability with DPRK.

Ok. Sorry, i understood this as a direct threat by Putin/Russia

China is a country to be reckoned with of course, and if they intend to wage war one day it will be much more relentless than what we can imagine now. At least, if you read some contemporary chinese stuff on this matter.

But as said before i think China is not so amused with North Korea, for them the only advantage is it is a buffer and restricting south korean/western influence and power in this region.
I doubt China will let Kim do anything gross without their explicit consent

DRPK already got "gross" with ICBMs and portable thermonukes. SSBNs are just the icing on the cake to create a greater uncertainty when planning a first strike against DPRK.

I think someone must be reading too many hypothetical war novels.

Commision 2020 has too many Trump memes to resist.

Read it in the news earlier today.

My first thought was who will take over after him ?

He has, what i know, not a son or any children

Or does he ?

Edit
Have made lot of search and I can't find any clue to if he has a son or not.
He is married.
If he dies, and there's no successor
Can anyone tell me what will happen ?
End edit

I can imagine many things, but these will be biased and not based on real knowledge about NK

Could it be a cover story for Kim has the Covid-19 virus?

Heart problems for demigods are normal, but sickness from a virus that N Korea claims no one has would be embarrassing

I wondered the same thing. I also wonder who would replace him if he did croak. Maybe his sister.

No, the only power Kim's sister has is the power he gives her.

It would be an embarrassment to the male ego's of NK to have a woman rule over them ... I suspect a general of some kind who won't live very long either.

Perhaps a coup
