North Korea don't be stupid
Okay, I'm a little worried.
As if they followed it anyway. What with the shelling of the island, the sinking of that ship, the constant non stop threats
Well shoot. I'm almost 18, I hope I don't end up getting drafted in the next korean war or anything crazy like that.
I wanna go to school, NK. Don't do anything silly, now. :(
of all the recent NK-related news articles, this is the only one that has me legitimately scared. holy shit.
Since when was RT was a valid source of information?
North Korea seems to be out of control now. This is getting a bit worrisome of what they're all doing, WWIII anyone?

or you know millions of civilians and soliders getting killed in a stupid war over some godforsaken peninsula in Asia because some greedy bastards want to extort their subjects

is there a reason to believe that they would fabricate a story like this?

You'll probably get your chance. If North Korea actually attacks the South or the US, they'll have the entire UN on their ass. They'll probably be stomped out in a month.
I hope it doesn't actually come to that, but that's the reality.
it's ok guys, South Korea bought a bunch of these patriot missiles from the Germans

they're missiles that shoot down other missiles.

nk has one of the largest armies in the world, i don't think it will be that easy.
I wonder if they realize just how suicidal a war would be?
Seriously, you want a preview of what happens when the war resumes? NK starts shelling Seoul, maybe firing off a short-range nuke or two, which are promptly shot down by the AEGIS cruisers America conveniently has in the region at all times just in case the shit hits the fan. Then SK and the US 2nd Infantry mow down the incoming NK armies, probably move in and invade with about as much resistance as we saw in Iraq. The bulk of the NK forces will be defeated within a day or so - I expect they will move slowly once they take any part of NK within artillery range of SK, as the last time this happened, China got spooked when we got too close and turned the war around.

You think you're scared? I've got family in SK.
I wish there was a toxx clause in the UN Charter

Size? Maybe.
How effective would they be? Not very.
Oh man, If things continue like this America will have it's first legitimate reason in years to invade someone.
GO TEAM.
Since they're malnourished and all.

My client Mr Bay is interested in purchasing this treatment, pls email me
Perhaps NK is doing something something similar to the story behind World In Conflict...

Uh, the older threats were like "haha NK so funny". This isn't funny. This is worrying. If they actually cut the hotline a diplomatic break down is way more likely to lead to shooting.

A starving army isn't of much use.

And one of the shittiest. They're poorly-trained, poorly-equipped, and have the kind of morale you'd expect from soldiers who have never fought anyone except their own citizens, spend more time harvesting crops than drilling, and whose families are literally starving.
Meanwhile SK and the US (who has 20,000 troops or so stationed in SK) will be fielding modern, mechanized infantry and armored cavalry, with heavily integrated support services and all-but-guaranteed air supremacy. And not a small portion of the US soldiers will be veterans of either Iraq or Afghanistan - not exactly the best opponents to train against, but far better than nothing. To say nothing of the heavily-mined, heavily-fortified border complete with goddamn automatic sentry guns.
But operating in such close proximity could, at the very least, irritate China. If they demanded something like de-militarized airspace things could get a lot more dicey.
This could be really bad.

Doubt it.
Unless they're seriously bat-shit enough to fire off a nuke.
