Thread: Is North Koreas time up..?

The North's official news agency said it was mulling a plan to fire medium-to-long-range rockets around Guam, where US strategic bombers are based.

The statement marks a sharp rise in rhetoric between the two countries.

The UN recently approved further economic sanctions against the country.

President Trump's comments followed a media report that claimed the North had made a nuclear warhead small enough to fit inside its missiles.

The Washington Post report, which cited US intelligence officials, suggests North Korea is developing nuclear weapons capable of hitting the US at a much faster rate than expected.

The North's official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said its military was "carefully examining the operational plan for making an enveloping fire at the areas around Guam with medium-to-long-range strategic ballistic rocket Hwasong-12".

It said the plan would be reported to the Supreme Command after "full examination and completion" and put into practice at the order of leader Kim Jong-un, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported.

The heated rhetoric between the US and North Korea intensified after Pyongyang tested two intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) in July, claiming it now had the ability to hit the US.

Mr Trump told reporters on Tuesday: "North Korea best not make any more threats to the US. They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen."

Veteran US Senator John McCain was sceptical about Mr Trump's statement.

"The great leaders that I have seen, they don't threaten unless they are ready to act and I'm not sure that President Trump is ready to act," said Senator McCain.

Nice reportage MissKitt and lovely picture of the B1-B on the tarmac from the BBC!



So gloriously menacing. It looks like Darth Vader should be at the stick!

This is the thing, innit. NK is no threat to anyone, but they WILL threaten retaliation, and who can blame them for that?
Why the sanctions? Why the threats from the orange Mussolini?
Leave NK alone and they will leave everyone else alone.

But they're not leaving everyone else alone are they? They've been firing missiles near Korea and Japan.

As to whether they are a threat or not, if they can fire missiles thousands of kilometers, yes, they are a threat.

Will sanctions be enough?

No, because fat arse will make sure he's fed and let his people starve.

MAD.

Don't be an idiot.

MAD only works when neither party wants to die.

Which bozo are you talking about?

Both are losing credibility (although they've never had it).

It really does seem like attention seeking. When it comes to NK, the SK's laugh at the antics of the NK leader. They tend to ignore it now, as they are so used to it. I lived there when things have been frantic in the media, and the SK's didn't even blink an eye. They oversensationalize it in the media imo.

Not a thousand years ago the SK masses were on the streets protesting to off Americans and their bases, because a couple of GIs got drunk and ran down a girl or something.

Shows how daft people can get when they're in great numbers.

I've changed my view recently.

I now think KJU should not have ICBMs.

Oust him.

a few things that jumped out from the "fire and fury' statement...

1. he made it from a golf course.
2. there aren't military experts by his side...no, trump has his former model/prostitute wife on one side and the health and human services secretary on the other
3. check out his body language--the crossed arms
4. why is he talking so loudly?

Shame on you calling Melania that, #3.

The mad mullahs don't have a death wish. When do you ever hear of Shi'a suicide bombers?

Islamic State and the other Sunni extremists however....

They protest every time US servicemen rape and/or murder their people, including that awful incident where they gang raped a 12 year old girl.

I wouldn't call that daft.

They really should put the US military on their own island, because they are simply incapable of controlling themselves most of the time. Can't hold their drink.

Half true. Their death wish is based on the legend of the Mahdi or Twelfth Imam; they would rather not die, but if they need to as part of the chaos required to rouse him then they will with no hesitation, because this leads them to paradise.

Islamic State and Sunni have no such thing as suicide bombers, or for that matter terrorists; these terms are for westerners that struggle to understand things that don't fit into neat boxes. When a Sunni/Shia/IS fighter goes down, whether by drone, self detonation or by any other fashion, he's a martyr.

In this context, Shia do have 'suicide bombers' (martyrs).

Right, a bunch of GIs get drunk and rape a girl, so the people abandon reason and want to rid themselves of the only protection they have against one of the most belligerent regimes on the planet.

As I said, daft.

US soldiers have a strict curfew in South Korea. They have to be back to the barracks by 1am, and you'll be damned sure there are authorities at every bar nearby making sure they are!

The reason I know is I've frequented the foreigner district where many of them hang out at the bars/restaurants.

NK finding out that it's standard play book to shake down some aid money isn't going to work this time. Glad trump is on hand to deal with this mess created by the previous incumbents.

...another Maduro fan, too, eh?

Failure to take out the DPRK over the last 30 years has created a modern-day Tortuga for every vile evil darkweb crime against humanity, it's not a romantic status quo that any sane reasonable person should brush off, any more than we should have chickened out of standing up to previous horrific regimes in history. It's not about banal willy-waving, it's very practical - the DPRK is not simply a block to regionel economic development and democratisation; not just a waking-nightmare totalitarian regime like out of a horror movie; it is an active facilitator of some of the sickest crimes and enraging injustices you can imagine, and many you can't, all in the name of scraping together as much cash as it can to prop up it's soul-devouring machine. If you don't zap it now, hard and fast, you may never be able to, and you may be condemning millions, generations to the most appalling human misery. To call anyone suggesting standing up to this kind of terror and bullying these sort of specious throwaway names like "moron" (as you're a focking towering intellect), is to miss the point entirely. Freedom isn't just a think you got, that no-one else gets to fight and die for - everyone deserves it. It really isn't a pragmatic realpolitik argument to say keep things as they are, because nothing is static, and there are bad things happening and worse things that can happen that need to be stopped. The region can't live in perpetual fear and pregnant instability.

So gloriously menacing. It looks like Darth Vader should be at the stick!

Nah - this is menacing ....

That's not menacing. That's obsolete. What are you, 200 years old?

I fear these two baboons will keep slinging shit at each other until war breaks out.


Latest: NKorea calls Trump’s threat a ‘load of nonsense’

North Korea’s military says President Donald Trump’s warning of “fire and fury” if it threatens the U.S. is a “load of nonsense.”

The North is responding to Trump’s threat in a statement from its military carried by state-run news agency KCNA. The statement says that “only absolute force” can work on someone as “bereft of reason” as Trump.

The North Korean statement also says the military action its army “is about to take” will be effective for restraining America’s “frantic moves” in and near the southern part of the Korean Peninsula.

It says North Korea will complete a plan by mid-August for the “historic enveloping fire at Guam,” convey it to the commander in chief of its nuclear force and then “wait for his order.” North Korea says it will “keep closely watching the speech and behavior of the U.S.”

North Korea will complete a plan by mid-August. It's pretty simple isn't it?
1) Put nuke on missile
2) Aim it at Guam
3) Launch missile
4) Kiss arse goodbye as U.S nukes rain down on North Korea
5) South Korea attacked
6) Milliions dead
7) China and Russia launch attack on US
8) Everyone kisses their arse goodbye
9) The cockroach inherits the Earth.

The Madman With Nuclear Weapons is Donald Trump, Not Kim Jong-un
