Best Korea fires mortars at Worst Korea - Developing Story - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Tetracycline;26251724]NATO is only for European countries hence the name "North Atlantic Treaty Organization"[/QUOTE] What's Turkey doing in it then?

Check my edit :(

[QUOTE=3v3ryb0dy;26251653]Just because they say their army is 1.1mil doesn't mean it is. Most don't have uniforms nor weapons, they are just kind of blue collar workers.[/QUOTE] So were Russian civilians blindly charging at German troops. So were the Chinese during the Korean war. The point is, these guys are going to blindly defend their land, because that's all they have. They don't have anything to lose. And once again, it's a serious mistake to underestimate the power of the North Korean military.

[QUOTE=goon165;26251706]who's idea was that again to have your capital 25 miles from an active DMZ?. Brilliant man he was.[/QUOTE] Captials were probably established before the korean war.

No, check MY edit :)

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;26251736]What's the United States and Canada doing in it then?[/QUOTE] It was the cold war, anything soviet related america had a hand in it,

Can anybody give me a quick update on everything that's happening?

[QUOTE=XxXKillErXxxX^2;26251183]I wish SK hadnt retaliated at all. NK will just use it as propaganda saying SK attaked NK out of the blue. Just nuke the fucking place tbh its not like there's a better fate waiting for anyone living in NK.[/QUOTE] Oh yes, that big fat bully who has been irking me and my friends for years finally decided to land a good hard punch on my face. I'm just gonna stand there and take it.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;26251758]No, check MY edit :)[/QUOTE] They're in both Europe and Asia and I guess they wanted to be on NATO

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;26251751]So were Russian civilians blindly charging at German troops. So were the Chinese during the Korean war. [/QUOTE] Contrary to popular belief, the People's Volunteer Army did not employ human waves. They rather used light infantry infiltration tactics, defeat in detail methods and deception techniques that made their units look like mass hordes. Also, in the case if Allied forces lost Seoul in the early phases of fighting, IISS estimates that a hell a lot of manpower would be needed to recapture it. [quote]In the event that coalition forces lost Seoul, US military planners estimate that approximately six US ground combat divisions including marine and army units, ten air force wings, and four to five carrier battle groups, would be required to liberate the South Korean capital.[/quote] If we just look at US forces, there's like only one, just one brigade combat team in Korea. The remaining two is a helo brigade where only 1 battalion has attack helos and an artillery brigade. The closest reinforcements right away would be the III MEF (a division-sized force) in Japan. It would take weeks at least for regular and National Guard units plus their equipment and supplies to be shipped in from the US,

Basically, NK knows no one dares fighting them upfront so they keep acting like complete tossers. e: until we invent and deploy satellites with lasers. hell yes satellites with lasers...

[QUOTE=butters757;26251762]Can anybody give me a quick update on everything that's happening?[/QUOTE] Things have quietened down a bit, the south says it will retaliate if the north does that again, while the north says that the south started it and if they cross millimeter into there territory they will do it again. All international countries are condemning the DPRK, and thats pretty much it for now.

[QUOTE=booster;26251755]Captials were probably established before the korean war.[/QUOTE] but no one thought "hm, you know, if shit goes down again we're probably gonna get shelled to pieces, we should probably relocate". naaaaaaaaah.

I have a feeling it is going to take a lot more then 200 shells to launch them into a full blown conflict. They will more than likely place everyone on high alert, possible fire back in small quantities, but SK doesn't want a war. They will try their best to avoid it.

[QUOTE=Tac Error;26251799]Contrary to popular belief, the People's Volunteer Army did not employ human waves. They rather used light infantry infiltration tactics, defeat in detail methods and deception techniques that made their units look like mass hordes.[/QUOTE] The more you know. I did think they actually employed human waves. Well all things considered they still conscripted anyone able to fight, which is what NK will do if they need to.

[QUOTE=goon165;26251825]but no one thought "hm, you know, if shit goes down again we're probably gonna get shelled to pieces, we should probably relocate". naaaaaaaaah.[/QUOTE] Not that easy to just "pick up and move" an entire central government of a nation. Christ, do you think ahead at all?

[QUOTE=thisispain;26251500]the nazi's said the same thing you guys were saying in WW2 against the soviets turns out, it didn't matter that the soviets didn't have ammunition[/QUOTE] This right here. It doesn't matter if they don't have ammo when you don't have enough of it to stop them. You don't need a gun to shank someone or throttle them with your bare hands, and I wouldn't put it past any military under a guerilla warfare/desperate scenario to do exactly that. Remember that whole "hiding grenades in the shoes of soldiers" thing? Yeah, you could probably expect that and more.

But SK has already stated that they're treating this as an "invasion by NK", so who knows what will happen.

I say we break out the napalm again.

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;26251848]Not that easy to just "pick up and move" an entire central government of a nation. Christ, do you think ahead at all?[/QUOTE] well it's not like Seoul wasn't leveled twice during the War.

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;26251884]I say we break out the napalm again.[/QUOTE] How civil.

[QUOTE=goon165;26251886]well it's not like Seoul wasn't leveled twice during the War.[/QUOTE] That was over 50 years ago. It's 2010, and Seoul has recovered. And become integrated as the "hub" of South Korea.

Well one things for certain, the action won't come from the DMZ both sides are far too turtled in for any advance to take place, the DPRK and SK/US has hundreds of indirect fire and emplacements there along with mines and all sorts of nastiness.

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;26251884]I say we break out the napalm again.[/QUOTE] I love that smell in the morning

[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;26251871]Hopefully it won't escalate. But SK has already stated that they're treating this as an "invasion by NK", so who knows what will happen.[/QUOTE] That is worse then what I had heard. I was only aware that SK had placed troops on high alert for a future attack. I was under the impression they were trying to deter anything from escalating.

[QUOTE=Coffee;26251905]How civil.[/QUOTE] you think NK is gonna be above that kind of shit? fuck they'll probably use Chems.

[QUOTE=Mabus;26251920]Well one things for certain, the action won't come from the DMZ both sides are far too turtled in for any advance to take place, the DPRK and SK/US has hundreds of indirect fire and emplacements there along with mines and all sorts of nastiness.[/QUOTE] If it does, it'll be the bloodiest battle since World War II [editline]23rd November 2010[/editline] [QUOTE=Dolton;26251930]That is worse then what I had heard. I was only aware that SK had placed troops on high alert for a future attack. I was under the impression they were trying to deter anything from escalating.[/QUOTE] So far, SK has gotten pretty pissed. Right now, they're holding themselves back, "seeking UN disapproval of NK's actions" but they've also stated that "retaliation is needed" for this.
