didn't notice this was the real thread from SC General: I will never understand why the South and the rest of the world put up with their shit.. I dno always threatening and breaking rules.. It seems really childish to threaten; especially the bit where they 'test' nuclear weapons against the US wishes. Why not just take their leadership out of power and slowly integrate it into the South? Is it really because of China and Russia? It's going to happen eventually.. after-all in a globalized world there is no room for Dictators... but would it be too difficult to reeducate the older generations??

Welcome to TL.net where political realism is "liberal" and ideological fearmongering is the less fantastical viewing lense.

NK has a bottom line where they will incur catastrophic retaliation. before breaching that bottom line, it is their interest to show the rest of the world that:

1. they are insane
2. they do not care about sanctions

although they will not gain any material rewards for doing so, it does give them more power. kind of like a gangfight

the south would never want north korea in its current shithole state. it would bankrupt them really hard.

I thought that it was UN dictated sanctions? Not just US.

You're being really cute if you think the UN has any authority over USA.

Well..they just canceled their non-attack pact with south korea. I hope it keeps with just muscle flexing because if it comes to war it wont be like killing some mountain rebels in the middle east.

North Korea's threat to hit Washington DC with a missile is technically impossible. Their current missile systems are not only inaccurate, but can only reach the west coast at best.

Updated the OP with this new info and linked to the bbc article on it.

In the future, I'd invite anyone to pm me with noteworthy updates you think should be added to the OP.
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that ALL NK cargo is being searched.

Does anyone here actually believe NATO has the balls to ground invade NK?
If you think Irak/Afghanistan were hard to 'assimilate' North Korea is on a whole other level, as in never or it would take 40 years after occupation. Oh and by the way, after the first 50,000 NATO troops are dead the call from home to get the 'fuck out of there' means that the South would be abandoned... Just like what happened in Vietnam.
Does anyone here have any idea what 1,1 million troops (most of them fanatical) means? It means WW2 scale operations. Not fighting 20,000 taliban on goats. Perfect time for countries that don't like NATO (Iran/ex-Soviet block/China/South America) to make shit happen elsewhere, trust me, it should be you guys not wanting this war, not North Korea.

EDIT: grammer

the one who'd most likely start a war is south korea, if nk provoces them again.
UN and china have no interest in war

All NK needs is good anti-air and NATO is fucked, I read earlier in the thread something about the North invading and taking the South hostage, if they get into the cities its game over, what will NATO do? Bomb the southern cities?
Ground invasion means a lot of dead Americans and new episodes of MASH, nothing else.
EDIT: again, not talking about 20,000 taliban on goats, but 1,1 million serious troops who will have more than enough supplies just by raping/pillaging the southern countryside bare

That's the problem good anti-air costs ALOT of money, which NK has none of. SAM missiles are not going to shoot down stealth bombers, in fact the NK wont even know they are going to be bombed until it is happening.

You do realize that that NATO forces don't need to bomb the NK forces occupying the cities , they can just target their logistics/ammo/food/medical/communications and from there any occupying NK force loses their chain of command and supply.

NK won't be able to hold onto SK cities for longer than a few weeks, because as you have stated they are not the taliban, they are not being actively helped by the local populace.

Also NATO doesnt have any problems bombing military units in cities, they have a lot of practice since early 90s.
