NKorea threatens to turn SKorea into "debris"

reply to post by cognoscente


Great post.

Some very inflammatory stuff here:

"The puppet authorities (Seoul) had better bear in mind that the advanced pre-emptive strike of our own style will reduce everything... to debris, not just setting them on fire," the North's military said.

"It will turn out to be a just war... to build an independent reunified state on it," it added in a statement carried by the state news agency.

It described its pre-emptive capability as "beyond imagination, relying on striking means more powerful than a nuclear weapon."

Yes, I think we're about to find out what happens when the de facto world policeman stops policing. A Third World War definitely won't be pretty, either.

The North's military strategy is to destroy as much civilian infrastructure as possible. They would be in for a very a very short climax and an ending with total military defeat. The civilian population of South Korea within range knows what to do in such an event. Much like the infamous "duck and cover" campaign of the US they continue to run drills and have alert systems and shelters in place.

In a conventional war the North would not be able to sustain and win against the US and South Korea. Sure there will be destruction and casualties but the end result would be a defeated and leaderless North.

Yeah that would definitely suck.

Cool userbar on your signature.

True. That is probably what would happen.

But is it enough to deter Kim Jong-Crazy?

Kim Yong-il isn't running the country at the moment. So what you should be wondering is what the rest of the SPA thinks.
