[longdogs]

North Korea have apparently vowed to make a preemptive nuclear strike on the U.S

So should the U.S. just nuke them now and get it over with?

It's MAD,,, Mutually Assured Destruction.

It's a load of twaddle. They can't make a device small enough to deliver by missile.

 

[joinerjohn]

But,,,,, what if they make a missile big enough to deliver what they have at the moment ??

Nuke em and have done with it.
Who wants to live wondering what is coming and when it IS coming.?.
Shut the little turds up. Save all the hassle .

Get the first punch in and make it a good one .

We have all had enough of this crap over the last 20 years or so.

Sounds harsh- but - time to get real.

That little fat korean guy needs his Nintendo taking away from him

He's grandstanding for his local populace. He's knows full well he's talking bolex - but they think he's telling the world what for. Pathetic really.

Nobody's listening Joe, they like to have a moan and have their weekly nuke this lot or nuke that lot rant.

Nothing you can do, nothing to worry about on our part.

NK won't attack, there are very few western nations that have armies that couldn't wipe the floor with korea, let alone even 1/10th of the US military, and china wouldn't step in to protect NK if it was stupid enough to attack.

The people in charge of NK know this (don't kid yourself that little fat bloke is in charge of korea), I can't see them wanting to commit mass suicide by starting a proper war they know they can't win. And anyway, nukes work by saturation, even if they can build missiles capable of striking the US, they have to build lot's of them, I'm not convinced they will be allowed to go that far even by china.

But we can't attack them casually either, they have huge amounts of artillery pointed at south Korea, any attack on NK would lead to massive civilian casualties.
