im confused now
[QUOTE=Flarey;39843272]im confused now[/QUOTE]
Then you must not be very current with the news
I feel like within a year, we would be at war with NK
I can't tell from the article if they're telling the people to be calm or if they're telling NK to be calm.
Either way it almost seems like a façade. To compare, it's a bit like a bully saying he'll beat you up and everyone tells you "don't worry about him, he's just looking for a reaction" and before you know it the guy's throwing punches.
Or else NK would disapear, its like someone's mentally ill relative that you tell everyone to give them a break.

façade or not, US forces in SK are taking this pretty seriously

I'm so fucking fed up with these morons, oh my god.
Seriously, it's like having a small child with an ego issue begging for attention
So even [B][I]China[/I][/B] is getting pissed off at them now?
Wow.

They have been for quite some time now actually.

China has realized if it wants to advance any further in the developed world it has to play nice with the western world.
if NK does anything, it'll be (damn near) the shortest war in history
NK will lose of course
I'm glad they made a statement about this. It's probably wishful thinking but I hope North Korea takes notice when their closest ally tells them it's time to tone down the aggression.

China doesn't want conflict, and they know if something breaks out there will be some.

This was said in every thread, but no, you are wrong. NK has a sizable military, and their weaponry, despite being a bunch of old Soviet junk, is still capable of launching bullets in the enemy's general direction. Such a war would be far worse than what you think it would be

I feel it might be less. They seem incredibly stupid/overconfident at the moment
[QUOTE=Flarey;39843272]im confused now[/QUOTE]
well they did approve the sanctions against NK
[editline]8th March 2013[/editline]
I like to think KJU is reading FP posts and they are making him more mad
[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;39844132]well they did approve the sanctions against NK
[/QUOTE]
Not only did they approve the sanctions, but China and the US drafted it together.

It would be bad, but not as bad as you might think. US would launch missiles (not nukes) destroying their military and airforce bases pretty quickly so they could grab air superiority quickly. Then you just have to follow standard invasion procedures such as the ones used in Iraq.
China should just slap NK with the big dick of communism, consider the U.S is doing the same with the big dick of freedom. No one can beat the double cock slap.

Iraq was just a bunch of dirty insurgents. NK has an actual military
[QUOTE=The golden;39844102]NK has the soldiers and the weaponry to invoke substantial casualties before they finally are defeated.[/QUOTE]
Yeah but it's them against NATO, and China.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;39844249]Iraq was just a bunch of dirty insurgents. NK has an actual military[/QUOTE]
All you need to make them a bunch of dirty insurgents is more missiles on their bases, and more drones.

it's NK vs the world
it'll be a landslide victory
I foresee some states getting pissed at all that and teaching NK a lesson or two.

Except for the part where the fanatical brain washed populace will probably throw themselves in front of the US/SK tanks if it's the only thing they can do to slow shit down.
It will be long, drawn out and bloody as fuck and it'll quickly turn into a Guerrilla war.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;39844249]Iraq was just a bunch of dirty insurgents. NK has an actual military[/QUOTE]
You're retarded. Iraq had a semi-capable military. The reason that the U.S and friends kicked the crap out of the Iraqi army was for a few reasons, mainly because their tanks could completely out class the Iraqi tanks, both in range, maneuverability and firepower. They also had a near non-existent Airforce, which made it so much easier for them to gain air superiority.
Why does it seem that everyone are assuming North Korea is going to fight conventionally against some of the world's most advance armies?
Makes no sense.
