"aimed at strengthening its [North Korea's] self-defence nuclear deterrent in every way".
Man I haven't looked too deeply in this but, first they launched a supposed satellite which many people believe to be a missile, now this? I hope they realize America can turn them into a gigantic parking lot in seconds.

Thoughts?

They just want attention and help. Obviously they themselves know that they aren't in the position to get into an actual war with anyone.

Everytime I hear about North Korea I think of a hostage situation on a nation-wide (or half a nation-wide) scale. Do you just go after the hostage takers i.e. Kim and gang? Is that even possible? Do you storm in and accept "acceptable civilian losses" for the good of everyone else?

Well if they want attention, they're doing a pretty good job. The fact that nuclear weapons are in play gets anybody interested/frightened. But seriously they have nothing to face up against.. I dont't know.. the world?

Anyone that thinks North Korea is an actual threat at all are just misinformed. I mean, North Korea of today is the equivalent of a diabetic, epileptic dog that has lost all his teeth.

But all it takes is one nuclear bomb for a huge amount of devastation... or, for that matter, a conventional missile strike to completely upset the region and drag the US, China, Japan and South Korea into a messy conflict.

..who is almost capable of launching a single long-range nuclear weapon to damage almost any nation before being taken to the pound.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure even Kim Jong Il, regardless of how incompetent he is, is aware that the moment they do anything they will get ravaged and destroyed. Even if they do acquire decent missile technology and/or nuclear weaponry, they are still going to be like a decade behind of their enemies. It's completely futile. All of their recent prancing around just shows that they're getting desperate for attention and help.

China could end this bullshit with a snap of the fingers, but they won't because they are retarded, or are basking in this east vs west bullshit.
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.

Yes, a snap of the fingers will erase the 100,000 missiles they have in range of seoul. And east vs west? This is east vs east.

If China does anything then China is an evil totalitarian state trying to extend its influence in the far east to ultimately take over the world and attack America.

If China does nothing then:

I laughed a little. The only nice thing about a nuclear war is that death can be instantaneous. Save the poor souls that live through it and suffer from radiation effects etc.

China already has a large influence over North Korea, and China has supposedly been taking over some of North Korea's land the past little while.

Political and symbolic reasons, probably.

Why would anyone want to take over NK? Nobody wants their shit because they'll be inheriting 25 million starving peasants with absolutely zero skills.

It would literally ruin south korea's economy if they suddenly reunified.

I'm sure that, if polled, the vast majority of Americans would be in favor of ending all military presence in South Korea. So the reason for its continuation can't be domestic politics. Does the US get some kind of tangible benefit in return for the expenditures on SK's security? Is it part of some kind of geopolitical gambit directed at Russia and/or China?
