[quote]Panama's president says his country has seized a North Korean-flagged ship carrying "undeclared military cargo".
President Ricardo Martinelli told local media that the ship, which was sailing from Cuba, contained suspected "sophisticated missile equipment".
He posted a photo of what looked like a large green object inside a cargo container on his Twitter account.[/quote]
Nice to see North Korea in the news again.
That's... slightly worrying.
Cuban Missile Crisis 2 averted.
Should've known Cuba was in with NK
Damn it North Korea. Take a nap.
This is only what was intercepted
He finds what could be a nuclear capable missile..
..posts it on twitter.

First one was already both nuclear, and boogalooish. This one's tagline would be more like "Cuban missile crisis 2: North of the 38th" or something suspenseful like that.
I thought they had put a sun lounger on top of it at first, didn't really seem to surprise me as it is NK

Why not? Snowden acts similarly but hes a good guy

No it isn't.
North Korea aren't going to set the world on fire, ever.

Ignoring or underestimating somebody potentially dangerous is why we have case studies in things like psychology or security training whereby the moral of the story is... well, don't fucking underestimate or ignore people making wild threats. It might not amount to anything, but if it does...
isn't this how mercenaries started

North Korea poses no threat to any country apart from South Korea, but that's fine because they know how to deal with that issue.
There is no point in being afraid of North Korea if you live in the USA, Europe or pretty much anywhere else. North Korea is not retarded and knows that if it did attack any of those countries, it literally has no benefit to North Korea.

The last time North Korea appeared to be starting shit, it was just doing that to simply bolster the morale of their people since they were going through a slight famine.

Unless it launches some of those ballistic missiles at Japan. V2s hitting London in WW2 caused thousands of casualties, at least one causing more than 200 fatalities. I don't want to see what happens if a modern rocket lands in a packed Japanese city, with a much higher population density.

Thats if it gets there. It would have to be traveling fast enough to outpace a missile defense system (which is pretty hard unless you overwhelm with numbers since NK probably doesnt have the tech) or a mirv system and that way out of the question for NK.

I would be more worried about artillery barrages at the border since its easier to use/produce/hard to stop.

im worried for south korea tbh
no matter how prepared they are, you can't move that many people out of a city all that quickly while being shelled
Missile defense systems are far from even good. Because its literally like hitting one bullet with another. While it can be done its hard.
I do think DPRK would be retarded to launch but they have a history of doing retarded things.

later identified to be a huge thermos
Looks like a relatively small missile, probably for medium-small range attacks.

Yes.. a thermos full of [i]Heavy Water[/i]!

This country is so small the president is able to be literally present in every single somewhat significant event that happens in here, I'm serious.

Also you forgot to add in the article that the crew captain committed suicide

Actually he attempted, it didn't work out the way he planned.
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;41478533]isn't this how mercenaries started[/QUOTE]
Yeah, though it was Australian soldiers that recovered the missiles.

Sounds like a goofy guy
So North Korea's carting missile components through South America from Cuba, and it only gets a five-minute slot on the PBS evening news?
Something is... Off about that.
