So I Heard North Korea Launched a Missile

[English Mobster]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_nkorea_missile

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea defiantly carried out a provocative rocket launch Sunday that the U.S., Japan and other nations suspect was a cover for a test of its long-range missile technology.
Liftoff took place at 11:30 a.m. (0230GMT) Sunday from the coastal Musudan-ri launch pad in northeastern North Korea, the South Korean and U.S. governments said.
Japan immediately called for an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council.
The multistage rocket flew over Japan and landed in the Pacific Ocean, the Japanese broadcaster NHK said, citing its government.
"Our primary concern is to confirm safety and gather information," Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso told a news conference at his Tokyo office Sunday.
The launch was a bold act of defiance against Aso, President Barack Obama, Hu Jintao of China and other leaders who pressed Pyongyang in the days leading up to liftoff to call off a launch they said would threaten peace and stability in Northeast Asia.
The U.S., South Korea, Japan and others suspect the launch is a guise for testing the regime's long-range missile technology — one step toward eventually mounting a nuclear weapon on a missile capable of reaching Alaska and beyond.
They earlier vowed to take North Korea to the U.N. Security Council for a launch they said violates a 2006 resolution barring the regime from ballistic missile activity.
South Korea's presidential Blue House called the launch a "reckless" move that poses a "serious threat" to stability on the Korean peninsula.
"We cannot contain our disappointment and regret over North Korea's reckless act," presidential spokesman Lee Dong-kwan told reporters Sunday. He said the launch of the long-range rocket "poses a serious threat to security on the Korean peninsula and the world."
Obama said Friday the launch would be "provocative" and said the U.S. would "take appropriate steps to let North Korea know that it can't threaten the safety and security of other countries with impunity."
The launch "will prompt the United States to take appropriate steps to let North Korea know that it cannot threaten the safety and security of other countries with impunity," State Department spokesman Fred Lash said in Washington.
Security Council diplomats said Friday that a draft resolution in circulation could reaffirm and tighten enforcement of the demands and sanctions of a resolution passed after North Korea conducted a nuclear test on 2006.

[Trinx]

North Korea defiantly . . .
pointin at the haters in GANGSTERLY DEFIANCE

[Mr Buckshot]

Didn't we kick their ass once already?

If that were true, then Seoul would control the entire Korean peninsula and there would just be one Korea. Check your facts. Yes, there was a war where the Americans intervened, but the Americans only succeeded up to the 38th parallel. They tried to invade beyond the 38th parallel, but were pushed back. Having more guns and more technology doesn't mean victory, you know. Douglas MacArthur did want to keep fighting and basically wipe out the communists and give the south full control of Korea, but Truman sacked him.

So yes, you did give the North Koreans a beating once, but you never won. The only success was containment.

Huh, North Korea is just begging for retaliation. Ironically, they call themselves the Democratic People's Republic of Korea...

[n00b1n8R]

Fucking reds! :eaglescream:

[Rentafence]

Didn't we kick their ass once already?

We're still at war with them technically. We've been at a cease fire since 1953.

[flibitijibibo]

Hm, a "rocket launch" test that ended in the Pacific Ocean. Toward the US. Without any clear involvement from some kind of space program (or hell, even a branch of the government that would run a space program). Great cover-up. Maybe Bin Laden is impossible to find because he has his hands over his eyes while saying "I'm invisible!"

[FreedomFighter7]

Scary. I wonder what would happen if they bombed a US city with a nuke.

A single rocket delivered warhead? Nothing because it would be intercepted and destroyed in flight by all chances.

[Mr Buckshot]

I actually doubt they'd dare to launch a real nuclear attack on the states. The NK government may oppress its people but it's unlikely that Kim Jong Il would want to see his palace flattened by counter-attacks...well it's not that simple in reality but you get my point, the North Koreans probably aren't too keen on being invaded.

[itszutak]

Didn't we kick their ass once already?
Nope.

In fact, they beat us. Our goal was to bring South and North Korea together as a non-communist country-- we managed to get near our border, and then they gathered together with China and beat us back to the southern tip of Korea. It was only after a lot of messy fighting that we even got back to where we were before the war started, and only then did we call it even. First major setback to the US army since...well, ever. And it set up how most of the US's wars would go since then. The war's not actually over-- there's just a decades- long ceasefire. We're technically at war with them still.

I disagree. MacArthur was an idiot for moving so close to China-- he knew they were a threat, and knew that if he got too close there'd be a counterattack. But he went through it, and lost Korea for us. As a demonstration of the US's future plans, he laid a future of defeat at high cost for us.

China was already in korea. If he'd continued attacking, it might have escalated to a china-US conflict. And even then, that'd be bad.

In fact, I'm pretty sure his insistence on nuking Korea is what got him removed. Not to mention his blatant failure to follow Truman's orders (IE, not crossing that river)

[DarkHalo003]

Wait, why are we effected by this? This what, the 5th time they've tried to "bomb" us in the past decade? Well, I suppose this is what happens when their militia and population is made of zombies (crude joke).

Fixed the title for you. The article mentioned nothing about the missile being aimed specifically at the U.S. All they did was test-fire a missile - still a moderately big deal, but not as big as if it was AT the U.S.

While they're certainly destitute and oppressed (it's full-on Stalin-esque communism, after all), they're not that backwards.

[FreedomFighter7]

I don't think we would nuke them back, odds are even if they had nukes they might have less than a handful. The only people that would die in the attack would be innocent civilians, as I bet the regimes command posts would be bunkered and underground.

I also wonder what the rest of the world would think about such a retaliatory strike.

[Limited]

If any country nuked US, they would definitely nuke back lol...

Pretty shocking stuff, them testing long range weapons is never a good sign.

[Disaster]

Yeah. Why the hell would they need long range weapons like this unless they had intentions of an attack or defense against an attack which is never a good sign.

North Korea is simply trying to be uncooperative with other countries in whatever way they can. Kim Jong Il is an insane distactor; he lets the people of his country starve whilst simultaneously pumping almost all of his country's GDP into the military and into his own personal lifestyle. He's trying to put pressure on the US, South Korea, Japan and China so that they will loosen up on sanctions and allow the country to bring in more money; more likely then not, this would go straight to their military and not to their people. Trying to threaten the US and China is suicide, but this guy is fucking insane, so he does it anyway.

oh, thank you

honestly it's about time someone did something useful about that boofy-haired scrub of a 'leader' but everyone's too lovey-dovey-peace-will-find-a-way stupid to realise that the whole country is either:

a) brainwashed, or;

b) in what amount to concentration camps.

and let's not even bother discussing the way that the leadership doesn't give a flying shit about anyone or anything else, and that extends to every treaty and its mother.

too bad they have such a ridiculously strong military and they've got all the preparations in place to completely rape the south, because the only way nk is likely to be 'fixed' any time in the foreseeable future is by some joint arse-kicking by the us, rok, china and russia or any combination thereof p much

Back to what I was saying:

What I meant to convey, would the US nuke NK if NK nuked the US. Like I said, NK might have a handful of nukes. Its not like they could retaliate with nuclear weapons (if they only had 1), so why nuke them? Instead stage an invasion using conventional means. Its a gamble, and a risk, so a retaliatory strike might or might not be warranted.

To the person who posted the info about Second Strike, I don't know anyone who wouldn't know about that including me.

Problem is that KJI is only part of the problem. Killing him won't magically set things right, it'd create a massive power vacuum and as soon as a victor emerged from the inevitable shitfight, they'd most likely end up just as bad. When the leadership and even the civillian populace actually believe what KJI is doing is right, you have a problem. There was a thread on SA a while back about another of NK's little "GUYS TAKE ME SERIOUSLY I'M SERIOUS, SERIOUSLY" stunts, and for all the debate and flat-out arguing, not one person could work out a viable way to fix things. If you just leave it be and hope for the best, nothing will change anytime soon. If you kill KJI, another will step up to the plate. If you nuke them, they will go no-holds-barred on whoever they can reach, and I'd imagine China, Russia, the ROK and Japan won't be too impressed with the resultant fallout, not to mention you'd be killing a damn lot of civvies (albeit brainwashed ones). By the same token, a conventional invasion would meet incredible resistance from the military and civilian population alike, so unless someone like Russia or China threw the lion's share of their weight into it, there's very little chance of success.

And then, assuming that the leadership is in some way deposed and the military defeated, what do you do with the fanatic civilians who genuinely worship their Dear Leader as a god amongst men?

Well if nukeing them isn't an option (too many civy deaths, potential shitfight in the asia nobody wants to be responsible for/involved in) and invasion isn't an option (Too many casualties on our side against a fanatical population (WW2 Japan anyone?)) then what real options are there?

Just fyi, it's not MY NWO stuff. You can hear Gordon Brown and the IMF and precious race card obama praise the words themselves and flaunt globalization on national tv. I mean, that's what the entire G20 was for. Establishing a global currency i.e. establishing globalisation. Shit that was called conspiracy theory and nutter talk is now being spoken out loud by world leaders themselves.

The word "world" is in the phrase "New World Order" (an idea first publicly backed by the Senior G Bush, now being pushed forward by obamas spearhead, wink wink) so that the rest of the world thinks they have some kind of stake or role to play in it. They don't.

Korea aren't going anywhere folks. In this day and age no one is dumb enough to even think about attacking the US. You guys have no threat, ok. Korea, in my opinion is merely either doing exactly what they said they were, or they're simply investing in their own form of insurance against what's about to ensue in the later part of this year.

Besides, there are much more real actual present threats that are worth talking about anyway, rather than some bullshit about korea posing a real threat to anyone in this year 2009.

And I highly doubt they would hit us with it, or anybody else. To hit anyone around them means suicide. Their most likely going to use it as a bartering tool, to try to get food and money running into their economy, or else.

[rossmum]

Dane, seriously, if I wanted word-for-word conspiracy bullshit I'd ask the jerks that make that shit up, not someone who I thought had enough sense to realise the only one doing any puppeteering here is the aforementioned jerks. I don't see the Government telling me what to think, yet you seem to be utterly wrapped up in that drivel to the point where you'd say anything your truth-crusading (heh) 'experts' would.

NK is a serious bloody threat. They are led by an idiot who seems ready to do anything to get the attention he craves, whilst fucking the US right off at the same time. We are talking about a man who merrily blasts missiles in Japan's general direction on a whim. As far as I'm aware, NK is the only country which actively tests its missiles by launching them so close to a country they're hostile towards; there's little doubt what their intentions are in case of those hostilities boiling over. The North Koreans have vast invasion tunnels running under the DMZ, so they can avoid the mines, ditches, and boder guards easily. If they invade the ROK again, it's unlikely that the US and ROK forces will be able to hold out for long. This regime takes anyone who speaks out against it, their parents, and their children, and throws them into concentration camps. The whole nation is one massive police-propaganda state, with a huge big capital and fancy buildings but no real use for them since its people are so poor. I'd say that's a pretty big threat, far bigger than suggestions of globalisation which so far haven't gone very far.

Oh, and then there's the kinds of people at the G20 protests. Anarchists trying to incite violence, smashing up property, and generally causing a shitstorm of colossal proportions... because of what? What the hell is their purpose? All I see are a bunch of assorted extremists and social outcasts who have serious problems with authority (probably because those bloody coppers keep arresting them for doing whatever they like, the law which every normal person can abide by be damned), trying to cause some sort of huge uprising. Hooray, mass chaos and no laws at all! That sure would be a wonderful world to live in!

Dane, wake the fuck up.

had to have a long... long talk to dane only the other day on the proposed net neutrality, internet upgrades and internet filter ideas.

he got them all mixed up and just came to the conclusion of government controllign the world forcing people to pay to see different sites so they could sensor the internet by using the new upgrades to the infrastructure to fade out free speech on the internet.

Except it wouldn't. It would still be there, albeit charred and crispy. Gosh, nukes don't hurl countries into space, I think you need to research them more closely.

[FRain]

That was a figure of speech. >_>

[TVTyrant]

I like to view it this way: People are freaking out about a country with no power or influence, that launched a rocket (that didn't work) which could potentially carry atomic bombs (that barely work. The one they detonated was smaller than some of our STANDARD style bombs). Basically, being are freaking out about North Korea's endless cycle of fail. And its funny.

Lol this reminds me of 24 season 2.

tell that to the designers of tsar bomba. :party:

[Jean-Luc]

You know after that bomb went off, someone reacted like such:

"Did...did we just wipe out 2000sq miles of earth in a few seconds?"

"A-yup"

"...o/"

Tell that to Bikini Atoll.

[Cortexian]

You know what. I saw no countries being hurled into space in any of the Tsar Bomba videos. Nor any reference to such in any of the written documentation I ever read.

It doesn't matter. Go tell that to the finnish residents who's windows were knocked out by that bomb. If my memory serves me correctly, the shock wave circled the earth 3 times.

And Tsar Bomba was only detonated at about half-strength...it was designed to be a 100 megaton bomb, and they scaled it back for testing purposes. Now, think about that 2000sq. mi. again...

Honestly, yes, North Korea is a threat. If they actually did mount an attack on the US (or Japan, or South Korea), they'd have to deal with China's response, as well as ours, which quite frankly, they couldn't handle if they tried. China is no pushover, and the US is a steamroller once it goes on a rage war (Operations Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom come to mind, as does the Pacific Theatre of WWII). North Korea is using technology that is 30-40 years old, while China and US have both numbers and modern weapons at their disposal. I'd say just wait for NK to make a wrong move before dealing with them.

Let's just nuke North Korea.

[FreedomFighter7]

Yup.

That doesn't sound feasible, wouldn't it impact with itself and nullify it's effects on the first wave?

[n00b1n8R]

No, l2wavephysics.

Not really that reassuring, funnily enough.

NK is probably (as far as countrioes go) the biggest threat to global stability and American national security on the planet. Why? Because of all the ones who shout 'DOWN WITH THE WEST' and ponce about describing how they're going to nuke America, NK is the only one whose leadership is genuinely ballsy (and/or stupid) enough to do it.

:lolugh:

[=sw=warlord]

look at it this way.
NK fires nuke, gets raped by nearly every heavy explosive weapon and is reduced to a large crater.
meanwhile at the latest G8 summit politicians are summarizing on how to combat global climate changes and rise in sea levels while wondering where to put all the excess sea water...

[Bodzilla]

i dont think you understand how climate change works.

[n00b1n8R]

i dont think you understand how climate change works.

[rossmum]

I don't think many people in this thread realise just how many people would be killed and how much land would be laid to waste if even a single nuke landed on an American city. These are nukes, not firecrackers.

[Warsaw]

Depends on which city we are talking about...:haw:. If it lands in Alaska, which is the closest to Korea, I think, then there will be land loss, but relatively (stress on this word) minor loss of human life compared to a city like San Francisco or Los Angeles, which would be utterly devastating in both regards. However, the North Koreans would then promtply lose more life and land in a nuke fight than the US did, if the US uses a retaliatory strike. However again, the US would probably launch a conventional invasion in a coalition with China and South Korea, because China would be adverse to having fallout so close to home (and to set a moral example and not retaliate with nukes :haw:).

[SnaFuBAR]

Las Angeles
where?:slap:

[Warsaw]

D'oh!

:saddowns:

Fixed, btw.
