There's always the possibility that the North Korean spy network has a couple of Soviet warheads in basements across the world, ready to be detonated if their homeland is bombed

Nuclear warheads have a shelf life of about 3-5 years usually, which makes this kind of thing hard to do. The more you know

just imo, one good strike during one of the big NK parades with the leadership & everything all in one place, that's a good idea.

North Korean Day of the Sun is April 15th. It's the biggest holiday.


I think that's what they want to test the nuke for. So the timing could be tricky. Are they going to do the test at the beginning of the event? at the end?

sk and japan barely manufacture anything though, short of useless and nominal things they can proudly display in their shop windows as MADE IN JAPAN or MADE IN COREA

and i guess lovely washing machines in korea's case but even then iirc most of those are now made in mexico

truly, they are westernized countries

japan does like 800 billion dollars a year in exports and has to import huge amounts of food and raw materials so what do you think they're shipping out


korea produces half the ships in the world that arent military

we pushed NK army to the chinese border and then the red army spilled down in force. the fight petered out at the current location after some back-and-forth that says we only signed that armistice because we weren't ready to commit to killing every single red chinese soldier like a bunch of maniacs.

this is an incredibly white-washed telling of the korean war. the US was completely on the ropes, forced into the bottom of the peninsula before a miracle naval landing completely turned the tide. if nukes are a possibility then there is no chance of a naval landing or anything other than marching up an increasingly treacherous hellscape of a meat grinder.

i'm not saying north korea totally was about to win, but the us certainly didn't just steamroll them to the chinese boarder. it was a lovely, brutal war

"Military force cannot resolve the issue," Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told reporters in Beijing. "Amid challenge there is opportunity. Amid tensions we will also find a kind of opportunity to return to talks."

"As soon as North Korea complies with China's declared advice and suspends nuclear activities ... China will actively work to protect the security of a denuclearised North Korean nation and regime," said an editorial in the Global Times, which is published by the Communist party's People's Daily.

so yes while china does love their buffer from south korea they arent going to start a war and collapse their economy over a midget dipshit like un

Literally the best chance North Korean peasants have is being press-ganged into SK conglomerate slave factories, where they have a chance of getting three squares a day, on top of $2-3 dollars a day.

yeah the UN was almost pushed off the peninsula immediately and the inchon landings were in september after the war started in june. the chinese intervened because the us crossed too far into north korea and crossed some river(the yalu) that china was like "ok, too close, you're not uniting the peninsula and building bases/missile launch sites on our border." that was in october. so pretty short timelines for complete peninsula crossings.

Weaponized versions of anthrax, cholera, plague and smallpox are what come up on google.

I just had my smallpox booster last year, but I don't think normal people get it anymore. I've also had the full anthrax series too, but who knows how effective that is.

Oh please if we bomb them..

Amid the rising tensions, North Koreans are preparing for the country’s biggest holiday on Saturday — the 105th birth anniversary of Kim Il Sung, the country’s late founder and grandfather of current ruler Kim Jong Un. The holiday, known as the Day of the Sun, normally includes an immense military parade and synchronized public performances involving thousands of people in Pyongyang.

Let it be during this event with everyone assembled. It'd be hi-larious.

There's saber rattling and then there is saying "if you test another nuke you're going to get hit" which has been said now.

And since the Norks are getting ready to do that...
