Swedish News sites is announcing that NK is about to declare SK hostile.

I do hope this is a pr trick from the both news groups ( Aftonbladet and expressen )

Well... im not worried, South Koreans are indestructible.

I bet they have some secret mega project where the SC players that go to the army actually pilot mechas that can stop missiles.

I don't think we will be seeing so many nuke ceremonies in a while.

My main worry about this thing is that it could be connected to the north korean dictator's health. It could very well mean that he is dying and ready to do his last big show.

According to the BBC, N. Korea has stated that it's abandoning the armistice with S. Korea. Hopefully this is just a bluff to try to get attention, or this could get quite messy.

NKorea warns of attack, says truce no longer valid


North Korea said Wednesday it was abandoning the truce that ended the Korean war and warned it could launch a military attack on the South, two days after testing an atomic bomb for the second time.

The announcement came amid reports that the secretive North, which outraged the international community with its bomb test Monday, was restarting work to produce more weapons-grade plutonium.

Defying global condemnation, the regime of Kim Jong-Il said it could no longer guarantee the safety of US and South Korean ships off its west coast and that the Korean peninsula was veering back towards war.

The White House said it viewed Pyongyang's threats as "saber-rattling and bluster" that would only deepen its isolation, with spokesman Robert Gibbs saying that "threats won't get North Korea the attention it craves."

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton meanwhile stressed US commitments to defend South Korea and Japan, saying in Washington "that is part of our alliance commitment that we take very seriously."

The United States still hoped the North would return to multi-party talks on ending its nuclear programme, she added.

The North's latest display of anger was prompted by the South's decision to join a US-led international security initiative, established after the September 11 attacks to stop the spread of weapons of mass destruction.

"Those who have provoked us will face unimaginable merciless punishment," said the military statement on the official Korean Central News Agency, blaming Washington and Seoul for the latest turn of events.

The PSI, which now groups 95 nations, provides for stopping vessels to ensure they are not carrying weapons of mass destruction or the components to make them. The South announced it was joining on Tuesday.

"Any tiny hostile acts against our republic, including the stopping and searching of our peaceful vessels... will face an immediate and strong military strike in response," the North Korean statement said.

It said its military would "no longer be bound" by the 1953 armistice that ended hostilities in the Korean war -- in which the United States fought with the South -- because Washington had drawn its "puppet" Seoul into the PSI.

With no binding ceasefire, it said, "the Korean peninsula will go back to a state of war."

wouldn't it be great if n.korea sat down and rationalized about this and came to the conclusion that, since they are bound to lose it's not necessary to even start a war; they could just surrender immediately instead.

And then, we would all live happily forever. The end.

I just learned that North Korea had a death punishment for the use of cell phones until 2006 or 2007... I hope what I have read isn't true...

What a shitty-ass country, weak sons of bitches thinking they are the shit because they finally figured out how to build missiles. Hope they phail and blow themselves up, so the other countries don't.

Of course, when I say north korea I mean your government/policies etc. Don't mean the general population, so for any North Korean bros here I apologize.

852 people died because of that. It is speculated that the techonology was VERY high tech communication/radar and missile system.

Yeah, please give sources for this. Also, so what Soviets sold conventional weapons in the 90's like crazy, everybody knows this. Give me one example where nuclear weapons were being sold. Again, there is certainly not a lack of potential buyers.

Maybe you should watch more movies.



Todays news.

Russian officials arrested more than 10 people for trying to smuggle 20 tons of missile parts, including classified components for the S-300 air-defense system, the Federal Customs Service said, Bloomberg reported.

The smuggling ring, comprising former and active Russian servicemen, was attempting to export the parts to countries including Bulgaria, Kazakhstan and Ukraine, the service said on its Web site today.

The unidentified smugglers operated under the cover of top officers at the Sixth Air Force and Air Defense Army, according to the statement. Their detention is the latest in a series of similar cases uncovered by North-Western customs and involving weapons components bound for Latvia and an unspecified Asian country.

Russian law enforcers are beefing up the fight against corruption, which President Dmitry Medvedev has called a threat to national security. The head of the Federal Customs Service, Andrei Belyaninov, is former chief executive officer of Rosoboronexport, the state-owned arms selling agency.

The long-range S-300s are among the biggest-selling Russian missile complexes that have been delivered to China, Vietnam and Greece and contracted by Algeria, said Konstantin Makiyenko, deputy head of the Center for the Analysis of Strategies & Technologies, a Moscow-based research company. A number of Middle East countries, including Iran, are also interested in the system.

It wouldn't make sense for NKorea, a rogue state to declare war. If they really want to attack SK then they would do pearl harbor style. Which begs the question, why in god's name are you saber rattling this much? Perhaps they expect the US to freak out and start giving them aid.

The best way to keep the North Koreans from doing some batshit insane move is to negotiate with the generals, they are the ones who run shit. As far as I know the generals came up with the demi-god idea themselves.

I also heard from CNN ( yes, their MSM but reliable) that Kim Jong ill is preparing to go out with a bang, who knows what this maniac could do.

Maybe he just reduces infantry power and gets them to work to get their economy better or from collapsing or something (and finish that God damn monster hotel in Pyonyang lol) and have the weak nukes without solid ballistic missile and artilley as a way to keep it peaceful there? Foreign aid also. Still it is just a thought..

What are the numbers of North Korean demographics? Do they need more work force?

The leadership of North Korea is a joke. If they do anything hostile, they'll be instantly butt fucked by the entire world. No one will support them.

What do they even think they're gaining? Murdering and starving their own people through insanely hostile foreign policy, no access to information, brain washing... Is it really worth all that just to have big palaces and lots of comfort women?

I was reading in a pro DPRK forum someone saying that North Korea would "sink the entire island of Japan" if it continued it's hostile imperialist stance towards the U.S. I think the entire forum was nothing but trolls, but it was on an official DPRK site.

The sad part is that I'm sure at least some people believe that North Korea is actually a worker's paradise, and Kim Jong Il is a great leader, and they are extremely powerful and technologically advanced - mostly brainwashed North Koreans and hostile alter-globalists though I would guess.

North Korea threatens and demands aid.

South Korea, US and other countries give in because they can't be bothered.

Both sides become happy.

Few months later, North Korea bitches again.

You're an ego-manic, power hungry dictator whose had power clamps on your society for years. You're now on your deathbed, you call your eldest son "girly" (which I assume is a bad name to call someone who might proceed you). What do you do. The process can't last forever, especially with a sickening KJI.
