Pravda: Kim Jong-un orders evacuation of Pyongyang

Over the years, I've found Pravda to be very unreliable.

They really do promote Fake News.

I doubt the story is true.

North Korea has a handful of nukes with no delivery system.

I doubt war is about to start.

Classic North Korea rhetoric.

North Korea might even nuke its own and say we did it. Their missiles are dysfunctional.

Did the evacuation really take place and if so, where did 600k people go? I think it's a ploy by KJU to scare his peolpe.

Or we will nuke them and say that they did it.

That's the real bitch of it. No matter who says who did what, we can't trust anyone.

True the British intelligence came into information about a planned attack on pearl harbor and passed that to the US well before the attack, it was more or less ignored.

Indeed, if history is any guide, there’s one time of the year America needs to be worried about North Korea turning its anger into action — and it’s right now [i.e., April].

April 15 is the anniversary of the birth of Kim Il-sung, the dictator who founded the nation [DPRK] and is the late grandfather of current leader Kim Jong-un.

NEWS.com.au, April 13, 2017 - The EC-121 shootdown: North Korea’s killing of 31 US sailors that has almost been forgotten.

The story continued...

on a Tuesday morning in April [1969], a US Lockheed EC-121 propeller driven spy plane, known by its radio call of Deep Sea 129, took off from a base in eastern Japan.

North Korea launched two MIGs to intercept. The Deep Sea 129 assumed a circle route over international waters. NK fired two shot and dropped it out of the air. Nixon almost launched nukes.

Anyway, April 15 is known as "Day of the Sun" and we (USA) should tread lightly on that specific day.

(it is my new doom porn date)

Someone asked the page before

"how did we allow NK to get nukes".. and i'd like to highlight a problem.

No one believed they'd have the ability to develop/aquire a nuke, and they did
then no one believed they could make it work.. and they did
and now no one believes they can target those nukes..... or use them for war

See the problem ?

Never say never.

Pretty sure that in North Korea, it wasn't Islamic terrorist. If a Muslim is nuking Norks, it was a legitimately government sanctioned event by one of the countries they've been collaborating with.

Oh no, a lot of us believed that they could develop them which is why we thought Clinton was daft to give them nuclear tech for peaceful purposes. It gave them a lightspeed jump in the process.

The question is how well they've been able to cobble together missile tech secrets to deliver their nukes. So far, the progress we've seen hasn't indicated that they can deliver well at all through conventional means.

Now, they might have learned some unconventional tricks from their Muslim counterparts who've been working with them, but there's not much that can be done about that.

if we keep provoking NK, then they retaliate. not hard to figure out. why should they let another country tell them what to do or face military actions?

Enforcing international law and nonproliferation policies is now "provoking?" Lead, follow, or GTFO of the way, dude. You are stumbling into the correct action, however... the time for telling North Korea what to do has passed, now is the time to take military actions that remove the genetics of the Kim Jong lineage from the Korean gene pool.

The Korean war was really about turf. How much world real estate is communist vs. how much is in democracies.

Since the end result was a split Korea and the current state of affairs, the answer IMO is to simply give the Chinese a green light to takeover NK and make it part of China. It removes the problem and the people in NK would be much better off than they are now.

The story is in the Korean news too mengnews.joins.com...

Kim Jong-un orders 600,000 out of Pyongyang Apr 12,2017 North Korean leader Kim Jong-un recently ordered the deportation of nearly 600,000 Pyongyang residents to the suburbs, a local source told the JoongAng Ilbo Monday. The deportation represents one-fourth of Pyongyang’s current population of 2.6 million. It is not known when they will be forced to move or to where.

This article suggests it was just a crazy dictator move to make the capital more pure with loyalists.

It doesn't offer any pretext for war.

Pretty sure we're still technically at war with NK (Since 1953).
An armistice was signed, but no declaration of Peace.

Actually, the US went to war under a UN Security Council resolution...

UN Security Council resolution? USSR was a permanent member of the Council. Why didn't they veto it?

# is about to get scary.. satelite images show massive movements on the nuclear test site.. I have no clue how to link to articles but this is copied from the page I was just reading;

"According to South Korean media, residents in the kingdom have said goodbye to each other, sparking concerns the tyrannical leader could be about to act after months of nuclear weapon testing.

Foreign reporters have been told to prepare for a “big and important event" on North Korea's biggest national celebration, called ‘Day of the Sun’."

Just want to put this out there.

There's a fake video going around claiming that there are sirens being heard in Pyongyang. The video is actually from a Chile earthquake.

The tweet in question: twitter.com...

Pravda, hmmm.

This is where the Russians peddle their conspiracy theories.

Maybe Trump should take a page out of Kim's notebook on how Kim killed his brother. Maybe we should apply a similar technique but one that is hard to detect and give the person who does it enough time to flee the country. I'm sure there's someone close enough to Kim that a cool 2 million reward would have a taker or two. I'm sure there's at least a couple of Kim's close advisors shaking in their shoes right now! Thinking Kim may possibly be targeting them for his next execution.

So this is more or less the Korean version of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
