How fun it is to speculate
Until there are reports of NK informing foreign ministries to withdraw all diplomats and the citizens from the state. Then this is going nowhere as usual.
Granted they have asked non-militants to evacuate the southern islands for safety (or risk bombardment) but they have yet to show new cards.
tl;dr NK being the same
|
is NK desprate or something? do they not realize that if they go through with the threats they are making it would be suicide for the entire country?
i mean im far from an expert on this, but NK is to small of a country to be any threat to the US anyway... if they started a nuclear war they wont win. it will just be a bunch of meaningless deaths.

500,000+ Germans in Dresden alone in WW2 were slaughtered in a single night.

Absolutely, not only level the cities but it would decimate the entire frontline of the SK military forces on the DMZ. Everyone keeps thinking NK is some joke, if NK goes crazy (as it's apt to) then you're not going to see a few thousand dead, you're likely to see a few million South Koreans dead. You are highly underestimating the US air power if you think NK will get a chance to fire even half of their front line artillery. US will not make a first strike unless both China and Russia are on board. However, that doesn't mean that US will sit around doing nothing until SK get struck by artillery and chemical missiles from North.
Easier said than done. China isn't going to put itself in any sort of position that gives the US more ground. NK's sword waving is a good deterrent against US takeover of the entire peninsula, which is not what China wants, obviously.

I tried to use the allied bombing campaigns as an example on the last page, but maybe it was too esoteric. The figure of 500,000 for Dresden was actually German propaganda. The actual number of casualties was in the vicinity of 25,000 people. For that matter, the raid happened on multiple nights. Only when you look at the entire strategic bombing campaign as a whole in the European theatre does it make sense to talk about a casualty figure on the order of 1 million people.

I don't doubt you, but I find it extremely strange that every piece of American and British, not German, history literature I've come across puts the figure at 500,000+ plus. Then again, the actual figure being 25k wouldn't surprise me. WW2 is full of exaggerations.

Why not just threaten the whole world while you are at it..
North Korea Threatens Japan with Attack
North Korea has lashed out at Japan for calling for "independent additional sanctions" against Pyongyang.
The North's official Korean Central News Agency carried a statement from the Foreign Ministry Sunday saying that it would be a fatal mistake for Japan if it thinks it will be safe when a war breaks out on the Korean Peninsula.
The statement warned that the Japanese would face a horrible strike if they collude with the United States.
The article appeared days after U.S. National Security Advisor Tom Donilon said Washington is willing to hold "authentic negotiations" with the North if it changes its behavior.
North Korea is furious about new U.N. sanctions imposed after it conducted its third nuclear test last month.
The new round of sanctions and an ongoing U.S. - South Korea military exercise sparked an angry response from Pyongyang, which said it is abandoning the armistice that ended the Korean War and is ending non-aggression pacts with South Korea.

^^love the headline haha
I have a feeling that he isnt a bad guy at all but just born into a really shitty and chaotic situation. In a different universe I wouldn't mind playing or watching some basketball games with him.

He came into power and had his chance to change. There were a lot of expectations for him to be different. He wasn't.

I think that it would be very unwise for NK to declare war on anyone. Their military technology is stuck in th 70s-80s at best and I sincerely doubt they have a very plentiful supply of ammunition, so unless they have the Ark of the Covenant I don't think they'd last more than a few weeks (if that) against any modern military force.
Of course, they'd probablu be able to do a lot of damage to South Korea regardless, but I still don't think they'll last long after the initial damage is done.

How and what could he possibly change?
Everybody thinks that this guy can single handledly change the nation in one swift pen stroke or one bark of a command. He lives with a council full of ignorant military jackasses who firmly believe in the ideas of "communism" i.e the current state they live in. If he strays away from those ideals then those generals will probably hang him with his own military. Whoever controls the military controls power (within the state) and the military is full of communists.
What is he going to do? Dissolve everything? NOPE. people will just call him crazy, an infidel, a traitor and proceed to tar and feather him. All he can really do realistically is keep the check and balance system by holding the military by his grip which he is doing a fantastic job with all of these "threats" that "he" keeps making to other countries (now to japan lol). If he fails to hold the military, then we are going to have another war-torn Africa with however many warlords rampaging for power.
We can't invade with SK and Japan as hostages to warfare. Not to mention the jackass China that is enabling NK.
We can't keep giving them food else their little community strengthens.
We, obviously, can't keep discussion of peace and treaty alive with them at all.
He can't do anything and neither can we until someone decides to make a move (hoping countries are discussing a covert op of some sort).

Considering how badly the elites and military want to maintain the status quo I'm not sure he was ever capable of changing much of anything.

This isn't "normal," even by NK standards. Yes it is most likely just more big talk, but afaik, this is the first time they are actively telling people left and right they will nuke their cities explicitly.
