North Korean Stand Off With the US & S.Korea: News and Updates

Well they can use it if they want, but the problem will be delivering it to the US main land. By the time they start assembling the rocket one of the bomber can take it out even before they get the chance to fuel it.
 
these kinda gestures are to send panic waves across the border.... in other words they are threatening SK
 
NK have gone Nuts but Americans are also asking for it. SK and Japan are being dragged into a stand off b/w Americans and Nkoreans.
 
Us igniting

world warIII But US grand strategy is clear. Just as the US sought to contain the Soviet Union

during the Cold War by surrounding it with American allies and bases, so Washington plans to do

with China.America is creating a sweeping arc of allies and bases that begins in Singapore, and

moves northeast to the Philippines, then Taiwan, Okinawa, Japan, and South Korea, neatly

bottling up China’s expanding naval forces. India is being encouraged to build powerful naval forces

that can threaten China’s oil routes to the Mideast and keep its navy out of the Indian Ocean.In

the vocabulary of american top establishment,rulers,'Freedom' means to be dead. For the rest of

the world, 'Freedom' is peace, love; it is living with dignity and respect, not just existing.North

Korea have full right to update all its defense technologies and to acquire nukes if USA want clean

and transparent justice so USA should take a start to finish all of its nukes first and stop

interfering in others matters for several hidden dirty desires every where.
 
china is a very smart country and I'm sure that they have their fingers on top of the red button and the N.K finger, they are just trying to keep the America busy. Just my assumption.
 
its a no brainer....any country having nuclear or any weapons will use them against an attacker...
obviously NK didnt say they will carry out a first strike
 
NK don't have a miniaturized pt bomb and neither do they have the delivery system. But they do have those 10000+, 50s era junk artillery pointed at seoul. That's a nuisance US and SK has to deal with.
 
The Unha 3 used to launch North Korea's 2 nd and 3rd satellites isn't advance enough. Even the DF-5 and other 1960's ICBMs work better. It looks like a war between North Korea and US is unlikely.
 
The United States and North Korea both like provocation. As long as no war, China should continue to do our own thing.
PS personal opinion.
 
North Korea warns US of nuclear attack
Spokesman says military has been authorised to counter US aggression with "powerful practical military counteraction".

Last Modified: 04 Apr 2013 00:50


The North Korean army has warned Washington that its military has been cleared to wage an attack using "smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear" weapons.

"The moment of explosion is approaching fast," the military said, warning that war could break out "today or tomorrow".

The statement, carried by the Korean Central News Agency early on Thursday, said troops had been authorised to counter US aggression with "powerful practical military counteractions".

The warning, the latest in a series of escalating threats against the US and South Korea, came after the Pentagon said it would deploy a missile defence system to the US Pacific territory of Guam to strengthen the region's protections against a possible attack.

Despite the rhetoric, analysts say they do not expect a nuclear attack by North Korea, which knows the move could trigger a destructive, suicidal war that no one in the region wants.

'Clear danger'

US Defence Secretary Chuck Hagel, however, labelled North Korea's recent rhetoric as a threat to the US and its Asia-Pacific allies.

"Some of the actions they've taken over the last few weeks present a real and clear danger," Hagel told an audience at the National Defence University in Washington on Wednesday.

He added that the US is doing all it can to defuse the situation.

Deployment of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defence System is the latest step the US has taken to bolster forces in the region in a far-reaching show of force aimed at countering the North Korean threat.

The Pentagon already has sent dispatched bombers, stealth fighters and ships.

The land-based missile defence system includes a truck-mounted launcher, tracking radar, interceptor missiles, and an integrated fire control system.

The Pentagon said the system will boost defences for American citizens in Guam, a US territory, and US forces stationed there.

North Korea has railed for weeks against joint US and South Korean military exercises taking place in South Korea and has expressed anger over tightened sanctions for a February nuclear test.

Following through on one threat Wednesday, North Korean border authorities refused to allow entry to South Koreans who manage jointly run factories in the North Korean city of Kaesong.
