that might be a threat if China were motivated, but they have financial interesets of their own, they are part of the global economy.


Their financial interests are about to be inflated away by the us. I think they want to run the global economy now. For that matter I believe this whole thing is tied to china. I mean I don't really see any other catalyst for NK to up and going ape all of a sudden unless china got hot about the devaluation of their 'savings'. So they pick up the phone to their lil buddy.

I doubt that, given the large Muslim minority in India they will probably support whichever side the surrounding Muslim countries support just to prevent a civil war in their own country. THat's never too far from reality under the best of circumstances.

Personally, I do not think having India side with the US would sit well here anyway since so many jobs were moved to India. It won't bolster Obama's ratings, that's for sure.

I don't think they have a big enough eraser. Size matters

That crap is for internal consumption. They know the rest of the world is not impressed. They just want their Welfare Check and Food Stamps.

And who is nk dealing with? An army that cant fight when there are trees around and gets owned by a few guys in AKs, wood traps and dressed in rags? That only attacks weaker countries for no reason and think of themselves as the greatest power in the world because they killed a few iraqis in the plains (and still drop like flies every day) but have no strategy what so ever to fight a real war with a real power on a very VERY difficult terrain? A country that has its army completly scattered all over the world and its troops dont have the morale to fight... and in the majority of cases dont even know why they're there? A country that if it gets an EMP blast will be back to stone age and using morse code? The US cant even target their power plants (if you know NK you know it is so) and no M1 on the hills either, and for the planes... well air supremacy is in NKs favor here cause they know they topography which the US do not.

The US are used to play and win games in the Easy Option and cheating... now its hard mode and they cant cheat... Lets see how good the US really are.

I think little kim has pretty good chances... erasing the US off the map is too much but preventing them for entering NK is pretty much assured and you cant win a war just by bombing... you have to go there... and you stand no chance in their terrain... think you going to walk into Pyongyang and call it a day like it was with bagdad?

If you think NK is anything like the US has ever faced you're wrong. We're talking a mix between the terrain and cunning of the men of vietnam with the fanaticism, will to fight to the last man, and toughness of the german SS.

I think the US will chicken out. Its too dangerous for the US, has no "money interest", no oil to take, basically no financial interest what so ever so they'll take the "I'm too good to be provoked" side and try to come out of it as the "sane part of the conflict wanting the best for the world" yadda yadda yadda, when in reality they cant afford this war and they cant afford to lose their "I'm a US marine WOOHA rambo style" by losing a SERIOUS war (for a change) with little kim.

Ok, you know nothing. Like I said in my post, some foreign nut job will think I'm just some arrogant US citizen. You will learn ur lesson eventually. Have fun being bitter.

North Korea Threatens to wipe USA of the map


news.yahoo.com
SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days.

Off China's coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month.

Your overly obvious antagonistic rhetoric has earned you label of fool in my book. You know not what you speak of.

First I want to express my opinion of this story as propoganda like most of the crap news that comes from tensions and conflict with Iran, N. korea, Iraq, Vietnam and any other foreign country America and its leaders have deemed as a threat for the last 50+ years.

That being said...
Militarily North Korea does and would not stand a chance. Even in their own backyard. They have a conventional military that is outdated and small in comparison to Americas. They know this. I would bet 100 to 1 you would see desertion on scale larger than Iraqi deserters during the invasion. Besides that, once the head was cutoff, there would be no more reason for their soldiers to continue fighting...

Also, their food supply would be devasted almost immediately, as N. korea relies on much help from the outside. It would become more of a humanitarian effort than a war...


An army that cant fight when there are trees around and gets owned by a few guys in AKs, wood traps and dressed in rags?


First, we have already been to N. korea, and won actually. By all means open your history book. We never really lost a battle in vietnam which came with lush jungle laced with booby traps...Not new there bud. Been there done that.

(and still drop like flies every day)


Your attitude irks me quite a bit. Degrading the death of any human is quite low. And Im sure a gnat such as yourself couldnt handle one day fending for yourself anywhere, never mind in a war situation. So you can take your ignorant assesment and shove it....well in this general direction..:


and for the planes... well air supremacy is in NKs favor here cause they know they topography which the US do not.


another example of foolery. IF (and that is a big IF) they got any planes off the ground, the Navy (either by missile or F-18) would be well equipped to take them out almost immediately. Making their objective null and void. Therefore, their topography knowledge from an aerial point of view is useless. And you can bet American and world satellites have been mapping and have mapped that area for the last 15 years.


Lets see how good the US really are.


I personally hope to never see how good the U.S. military really is. Their may not be a world left see to how good they truly are.

but preventing them for entering NK is pretty much assured


While an invasion would not be ideal, it also would not be necessary until the bombs have stopped dropping. And once the bombs have stopped dropping, we could send Obamas poodle in to declare victory.

The ground squirmishes that would take place after would be over in weeks as the supply lines and food reserves would be amongst the first targets.


If you think NK is anything like the US has ever faced you're wrong. We're talking a mix between the terrain and cunning of the men of vietnam with the fanaticism, will to fight to the last man, and toughness of the german SS.


FYI... We have already been to Korea, Vietnam and downtown Berlin, and never lost in any of those places. They said the same thing about the SS and Iraqs Republican guard. And guess what? Here we are today.

You're an idiot and have no clue what the hell you're talking about. Go dig up my recent post on the military capabilities of North Korea that was written back in 2003 in the weaponry section.

North Korea is the biggest threat and most formidable foe facing the United States right now. They have been for years. We will not do # to them because they would slaughter our troops and South Koreans in a matter of minutes. You think nukes will save the day? LMAO! They are expert tunnel builders. They have tunnels ALL OVER the place. Huge underground bunkers that make the Greenfelder look like a sandbox.

As the 12 year old that you are, you get all your information from a one sided source. You obviously have no clue about history or the capabilities of the U.S. military. I didn't say they didn't have a formidable army. Certainly they do. But they can do nothing about their weaknesses I already pointed out. Food and supply. Period.

Im not going to get in a pissing contest with you, but you can ask anyone with the slightest knowledge of modern warfare that the U.S. Navy could handle N. Korea without any help from Marines or the Air Force or the Army. Just the Navy. The U.S. Navys dominance is beyond any technology N. korea could develop. That is just the way it is. So by all means, take your 2 year old name calling and go learn something.
