North Korea drops all pretense, straight up says it's going to nuke Washington DC

At least Galaxy News Radio will still stay up, right? Right, guys? RIGHT? OH GOD, GUYS, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT HEARING THREE-DOG DAILY.

You're assuming the DPRK is insane, though. When they make threats like this, it's a calculated move.

NK is just like that one wannabe kid at school that everyone can beat up and yet he still tries to be tough

[QUOTE=B!N4RY;39835014]NK is just like that one wannabe kid at school that everyone can beat up and yet he still tries to be tough[/QUOTE]

More like the kid that gets beaten up all the time, and tries to make up for it by acting tough to everyone. Which just gets him beaten up more.

[smurfy]

Fuck I thought it took 4 pages for the first schoolkid analogy, which would probably be a new record for an NK thread. Missed the one on page 2

That'd be a puny-ass explotion for a nuke.

lel gg guys

[polarbear]

does NK have any military allies?

[Milk]

It's kinda ridiculous how lightly people take nuking another country.

The DPRK is crazy, but the US is not. Could you imagine the international outrage if we killed several million innocent people on behalf of an aggression made by an oppressive state?

Again this is all assuming we even use any large nukes anymore, which as far as I know we don't.

(Also with primitive bombs, these days our biggest bomb can still kill several million people, & level most of pyongyang)

Even if they launched a nuclear missle at us, couldnt we just shoot it down before it even got across the ocean?

What game is that?

[QUOTE=Pierrewithahat;39829772]Why would China do anything at all?

Seriously what's in it for them if they get involved at all? All they're gonna do is condemn the norths actions and sit back while the [B]North slowly gets hammered back into the dark ages.[/B][/QUOTE]

you mean the new ages

[QUOTE=for no reason;39835794]That'd be a puny-ass explotion for a nuke.[/QUOTE]

Au contraire, that's a worst-case scenario. The smaller the yield, the more residual radiation, the greater the nuclear fallout. Washington would be fucked.

1st off it'd get shot down

2nd off the damage would be bad but not nearly as bad as it actually should be, for a nuke, that's pretty small?

[QUOTE=Vilusia;39829435]I'm not joking, also how you would you know? Have you been to NK?[/QUOTE]

I know for a fact that they would simply be outmatched 10 - 1

I've seen at least like, 5 documentaries of it, and the people seem very 'devoted' and 'brainwashed' there is just no damn way

[bloser]

[QUOTE=polarbear.;39836000]does NK have any military allies?[/QUOTE]

China is the closest ally they have, but they even voted against NK in the UN meeting. So, at this point I seriously doubt they have any REAL allies.

With that being said, if they try anything then they're digging their own grave knowing that China would be knocking at their back door.

yeah north korea doesn't really have good nuclear weapons resources

here's the one we dropped on nagasaki for comparison:

What about Tsar Bomba? The worlds biggest nuke?

EDIT:

In comparison, Tsar nuke VS NK = God damn that is pathetic :v:

[Jo The Shmo]

tsar nuke would also reach baltimore, that's pretty devastating

[Rocko's]

US has a pretty massive arsenal compared to NK. The B8-3 can wipe out Pyongyang without touching SK. But I hope we don't have to use it if needed, all that's needed to be done is take out those in charge of NK, allow a more sensible leader to take control, and see if SK and NK can unite.
