These statements were intended for the people of North Korea and not directed at the US. Everyone remember Baghdad Bob, Saddam's media guy? They were being steamrolled, yet he went on Iraqi TV and claimed they were pushing the invading forces back.

This sort of stuff is put out to keep the locals calm. North Koreans supposedly don't have contact with the outside world, but I'm sure some people do and that rumors develop from that information and spread. Thus forcing the NK government to state they would do a preemptive strike.

Personally I'm not sure, because:
1) Yes, they ARE that stupid.
2) They have no missiles to deliver the nuke to the US.

They are really crazy and desperate guys. Their ideology is a pure sect across the whole country. So potentially they can go for anything, but practically the can do nothing, because their army/weapon is in the middle of 20th century.

Only way they could attack us would be from the rear but they would need Greece for that.

I get this feeling too. New Kim then commissions China to make B-movie grade footage of Manhattan getting nuked, shows it on state-run television, and bingo....New Kim is now a God surpassing any previous leader..and doesn't have to prove a damned thing.

US policy should be that of massive retaliation in the event of a North Korean nuclear attack. North Korea should understand that such an attack will result in their total annihilation.

Rocket will blow up in their own face.

I report to Camp Casey, Korea on 12 May for a two year tour. I'll be 20 miles from the border. I'll report back. :-)

:1orglaugh

North Korea is china's dog, when needed it barks.

is he the one who's in charge?

That pretty much is the US policy, which is why China has finally stepped up and has finally seen the light - and is no longer supporting North Korea.

With the way the US pumps money into countries they've fought with, builds new infrastructure, new roadways, then brings in new businesses and franchises to the tune of billions they'd be stupid not to.

They have missiles that have a range of several thousand miles. Basically they could hit the north west of the US from Alaska down to Arizona. I'm sure that the US has a very good interception defense system installed, but I'm just saying.

What the fuck did Rodman do to piss off Kim? Cum in his wife's mouth? Ask for bigger cut in their drug trade? Analized too many Korean chicks? That pesky, Rodman. He visits, he leaves, a week later NK wants to nuke US.:1orglaugh

i like his teeth

I wouldn't want to see that day, because I think China and Russia would back NK and it would start a world war. Maybe that's what they want in the long run.

ICBM = Inter Continental BOAT missile

think they need to launch? They probably already have a few in various docks trading sugar and sundry spices already. Plus they sail under the flag of Tuvalu, the .TV domain and the island of "ahem" international "telecom" oppurtunities. A few dollars and the NEST crews better start sweeping every single inbound maritime vessel

I think they might attack the South.

Shame really.
