Patrick: "Seoul will be overrun within 4 hours"

The Korean business owners and the Japanese tourists spending all that yen there would never allow it!

"They ( the N Koreans ) have well-trained nutter soldiers"

Nutter maybe.

"All the 28500 US troops can do is withdraw"

Your friend in the U.S. military doesn't know as much as he thinks he does.

Sarge, I hope you're right. But he was a bit more than a sarge, and it is worrying.

The NK army would starve before they for anywhere near the south's border.

They are already stealing food from farmers, who it should be noted are starving themselves.

The U.S. right need to relax.......it's going to be alright.

good Donkey:

We could threaten to "not talk to them" again. How did that work our for you?

Or we could have another Dem female Sec of State present Dear Leader Kimmie with a Michael Jordan-autographed basketball and pretend all will work itself out,right?

**N Korea warns of nuclear war amid rising tensions **

North Korea has shown no ability to place a nuclear warhead on a capable missile and deliver it anywhere in the world against so-called adversaries.

North Korea's top people are not interested in annihilation. They simply want to bargain to get what makes life sustainable for them and the people in the military who protect them, and control the millions of poor, brainwashed subjects.

"North Korea has shown no ability to place a nuclear warhead on a capable missile and deliver it anywhere in the world against so-called adversaries."

Yeah, and I firmly support making sure this crank does not get these capabilities.

You just pulled that idea out of some hat, right?

Wow. :-)

The war between N-S Korea would be involved many countries, S Korea would never started the war with N unless they're invaded since they know: 1. It will be hard for them to win. 2. If they could win the war, let's say by 1% chance, they have to pay enormous amount of damages and resources. 3. They know for sure, China is behind this and they probably don't want to fight with China since they could bring another 50 mil soldiers to kill all the S-Koreans. 4. China would never want N-Korea be defeated since they will lose their totally controlled little brother who is poor, stupid and crazy. Also, a united democracy Korean would be a threat to China when they are smart enough to turn back to their history and know that millions of Koreans were killed by China over the years.

"Dear Leader", are you wanting that much to commit suicide? Words do have consequences.

This whole game of chicken is for domestic consumption, to hand over the realm while looking tough. One thing the regime wants is to survive!

And what consequences are those? Face it, the US got nothing.

I don't know much about North Korea (other than Kim seems to be the supreme leader of nuts) but I was discussing this with someone, and they suggested that maybe Kim doesn't want any of his sons taking over. That he wants to be the baddest, and final leader of NK, so he's looking for a way to get out of power without looking like he's walking away. If they push enough to the point that other countries have to take military action and NK is crushed, then he can be the last/best leader in NK history.

I personally just think he's nuts and the sooner we choke the chain on Elvis the better.

And while I think China still looks at NK as a "little brother" I think even they are starting to get tired of all the rhetoric that keeps putting them in the awkward position of having to deal with the UNSC.

Lessee... no war on the Korean Peninsula... S Korea still free enough to refuse to import any American automobiles... you're right, Donkey, it's been a total failure!

Korea didn't have nuclear capabilities. They began to build them. Clinton's people talked and offered food and whatever. They stopped their production of fissile material.

When we entered an era when we refused to talk to them they produced fissile material. They acquired the extremely complex capacitors needed to fire simultaneously with a massive charge. They packaged it with the needed electronics and what have you. They tested their nuclear devices. They tested missiles intended to carry them. They faked out Bush and got him to make the declaration he made and then they continued on with their program. Short of now using those weapons I would call that a failure.

The Democrats had the matter under control and then the cowboy came into town and now N. Korea has progressed further than almost any other country in the world wanted. The rest of the world entrusted us with dealing with Kim. Before Obama became President Kim thumbed his nose and set a dangerous precedent.

They didn't continue with fissile material production back then; now did they? But now they have it all. It seems to me the ones who are pretending are the ones who thought it worked out fine when they shut Kim out and did not keep the dialog going.

October 11, 2008 President Bush removed North Korea from the terrorist watch list. So now N. Korea is less of a "terrorist" state then when Bush labeled them as one of the members of the axis of evil?

The world needs to ask itself if we were better off before we shut down talks with Kim or after we took them off the terrorist watch list.

Stanley50: US got nothing

Yup, nothing much. Just a few dozen stealth bombers and a few thousand cruise missiles that could turn Kim's nuclear ambitions around. I don't think NK's neighbors will sit around waiting for too long if he keeps up the prattle. Capitalism in depression loves a good war.

You've got to be kidding me.
