Is it Time for all Embassies to Close in North Korea?
3 Sept 17 | hapnHal

Do you think it might be wise if all Embassies in North Korea closed and their personal immediately leave the country.

The following countries have embassies in Pyongyang: Brazil[1] Bulgaria[2] Cambodia[3] China[4] Cuba[5] Czech Republic[6] Egypt[7] Germany[8] India[9] Indonesia[10] Iran[11] Laos[12] Malaysia1 [13] Mongolia[14] Nigeria[15] Pakistan[16] Palestine Poland[17] Romania[18] Russia[19] Sweden[20] Syria[21] United Kingdom[22] Vietnam[23]

Most embassies are located in a special area of the city, known as the Munsu-dong Diplomatic Compound.[24] The Russian, Pakistani and Chinese embassies are located outside the diplomatic compound, as they are much larger than the other embassies.

The former East German embassy is the center of activity in the diplomatic quarter, as it houses the British, German, and Swedish embassies. Sweden acts as the protecting power for Australia, Canada, and the United States, provides consular services for the Nordic countries, and handles visa applications for Italy and Spain.[20] The British embassy provides consular assistance to any Commonwealth citizenwhose country is not represented in North Korea, except for those whose governments have opted out of this arrangement.

Several countries formerly maintained embassies in Pyongyang but have since closed them down: Albania, Australia, Hungary, Iraq, Libya, Portugal, Sri Lanka, South Yemen, and Yugoslavia.

It shows who is important to them, and who won't be closing their embassies under any circumstances.

I’m surprised we are there.

I’d imagine we learn a lot from our presence.

Is there a time of when the winds on the Korean peninsula blow predominately north?

Because after we use a dozen “small” nukes to suppress 100,000 artillery tubes pointed at Seoul, there’s gonna be a passel of fallout.

How would China feel if WE threatened an EMP attack on North Korea that would TAKE OUT THEIR ELECTRICAL GRID?

Well, we feel the same way... It’s time for Fat man Kim to go - either China can do it - Japan can do it - South Korea can do it OR WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER AND DUMP THE MONSTER TOGETHER.

Cause we’re NOT going to let this little jerk off kill 90% of Americans without taking fat ugly Kim and his ‘friends’ with us...

Let the diplomats do as they wish. They’ve had more than enough warnings.

I thought the new gen tactical nukes reduced fallout to point of impact?

For those Who were not around in the 50s, 60s,: How did we deal with this in the 50s and 60s during the COLD WAR with Russia? he he They had way more sophisticated ICBMs than the NORKS? At one point we had bombers in the air 24/7 armed with Nuclear weapons that flew over the North Pole and back. Most here do not remember that.

Throughout the late 1950s and into the 1960s, the United States and the Soviet Union had been developing missile systems with the ability to shoot down incoming ICBM warheads. During this period, the US considered the defense of the US as part of reducing the overall damage inflicted in a full nuclear exchange. As part of this defense, Canada and the US established the North American Air Defense Command (now called North American Aerospace Defense Command).

By the early 1950s, US research on the Nike Zeus missile system had developed to the point where small improvements would allow it to be used as the basis of an operational ABM system. Work started on a short-range, high-speed counterpart known as Sprint to provide defense for the ABM sites themselves. By the mid-1960s, both systems showed enough promise to start development of base selection for a limited ABM system dubbed Sentinel. In 1967, the US announced that Sentinel itself would be scaled down to the smaller and less expensive Safeguard. Soviet doctrine called for development of its own ABM system and return to strategic parity with the US. This was achieved with the operational deployment of the A-35 ABM system and its successors, which remain operational to this day.

From the beginning of the Cold War, The United States, Russia, and other nations have all attempted to develop Anti-ballistic missiles. The United States developed the LIM-49 Nike Zeus in the >1950s< in order to destroy incoming ICBMs.
Russia has, too, developed ABM missiles in the form of the A-35 anti-ballistic missile system and the later A-135 anti-ballistic missile system. Chinese state media has also announced to have tested anti-ballistic missiles,[42] though specific information is not public.
India has successfully developed its Ballistic Missile Shield in the programme Indian Ballistic Missile Defence Programme with the test fire of Prithvi Air Defense (PAD) and it has also developed a cruise missile defense Akash Air Defense (AAD)[43] to intercept low flying missiles making India one of the five countries with Missile Shield.

Yes. Why are we there? I say get our people out in the dead of night and then inform these subhumans we have closed up shop. After that,inform China we aren’t going to “play nice” with them either. We also place sanctions on “friends” of our enemies and we demand blah blah blah (whatever hurts North Korea most) If not, we split the economics blanket and they start sleeping on the couch.

Here is good post I received today....

technically a STATE OF WAR still exists between the US and NOKO. The truce is what it is……….and the lame brained PIMPLE HEAD IN NOKO could break the truce……….and if he tries to use nuclear weapons against ANYONE he will more than likely be himself NUKED INTO ASHES, along with most of his country.

I doubt that either China or Russia will lift a finger to help him if HE STARTS IT. …..if little PIMPLE HEAD Kim draws first blood HE WILL BECOME HISTORY!

The Pres says

Following North Korea’s sixth nuclear test, President Trump warned countries doing business with North Korea may no longer trade with the United States.

“The United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade with any country doing business with North Korea,” tweeted President Trump on Sunday afternoon

Mutually Assured Destruction only works if you're dealing with a rational soul. The Chinese are rational - but crazy fat and ugly Kim ummm nuts is NOT.
