North Korea Issues [This Week’s] Threat of Annihilation

/fixed it...

[Tenacious 1]

I wonder if N. Korea would mind if we tested some of our aging nuclear weaponry in their country.

“We’re not sure if this stuff still works. It’s been sitting around for a while. Would ya’ll mind if we dropped a couple in your country just to check?”

[MeganC]

Remind me again why the USA is giving food and other aid to that country? Why don’t we let their wealthy ally China take care of them?

Remind me again why the USA is giving food and other aid to that country?

Because we're a stupid country, with a stupid president, elected by stupid people, carrying out a stupid foreign policy.

Some intel estimates have said NK has somewhere between 30-60kgs of plutonium. It takes about 10kgs to reach critical mass.

It's not surprising they would have enough for another test. What's unclear, however, is whether they've removed enough impurities on this go-around to have something other than what appeared to be "fizzles" on the previous two tests.

“Then prepare for weekry annihiration”

[ClearCase_guy]

I would seriously like to see a somewhat small nuclear device dropped on North Korea. No warning. No UN resolution. Just do it.

If I were president, I would then go on TV with a very short message: "Threatening to annihilate a sovereign nation is a bad thing. I suggest that North Korea stop doing that. Certainly the USA would never issue any such bellicose threat."

[edpc]

China likes NK the way it is: A rabid guard dog in their front yard separating them from, SK, Japan, and us.

[Redmen4ever]

If South Korea defends itself, President Obama will make sure there’s justice for Kim Jung-on.

[vmivol00]

Here’s the scary thing...within about 5 years we won’t have anyone who has ever detonated a nuclear device.

We are screwed if we ever actually need to use one.

[Hardraade]

Bomb the place with roundup, and destroy their supply of twigs. Let them eat gravel.

[pogo101]

Yeah, it’s a bit like a headline, “Unrest In Middle East.”

[Fee]

Because taxpayer money is used to buy grain from US food corporations and sent to NK. It is call corporate welfare.

[ctdonath2]

Not to worry. Those passing had seen the days when nobody had ever detonated a nuclear device. Heck, they didn’t even have plans to make one. They managed to anyway.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Curtis LeMay damned near did it.

[Secret Agent Man]

Regular north koreans do eat gravel. I would bet more than 50% have at some point eaten dirt. It’s the top 5% inner party/party members that live like kings and are the paranoid maniacs in charge of that country.

The ones on the border with china are able to trade a bit for things.

[mkjessup]

I believe you are thinking of General Douglas MacArthur?

[dfwgator]

What are they going to do, send in "5 O'Clock Charlie"?

[TigersEye]

“reduce all the rat-like groups and the bases for provocations to ashes in three or four minutes.” The announcement also stated that the military would initiate “special actions” against the South in a very short time.

Not to worry. 0bama is ready to go full observation mode at a moment's notice.
He won't miss a minute of it.
