Didn't know if this should go in the D&D..plz move if so N. Korea threatens US; world anticipates missile SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea threatened Wednesday to wipe the United States off the map as Washington and its allies watched for signs the regime will launch a series of missiles in the coming days. Off China's coast, a U.S. destroyer was tailing a North Korean ship suspected of transporting illicit weapons to Myanmar in what could be the first test of U.N. sanctions passed to punish the nation for an underground nuclear test last month. The Kang Nam left the North Korean port of Nampo a week ago with the USS John S. McCain close behind. The ship, accused of transporting banned goods in the past, is believed bound for Myanmar, according to South Korean and U.S. officials. The new U.N. Security Council resolution requires member states to seek permission to inspect suspicious cargo. North Korea has said it would consider interception a declaration of war and on Wednesday accused the U.S. of seeking to provoke another Korean War. "If the U.S. imperialists start another war, the army and people of Korea will ... wipe out the aggressors on the globe once and for all," the official Korean Central News Agency said. The warning came on the eve of the 59th anniversary of the start of the three-year Korean War, which ended in a truce in 1953, not a peace treaty, leaving the peninsula in state of war. The U.S. has 28,500 troops in South Korea to protect against an outbreak of hostilities. more to read http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/as_koreas_nuclear
^don't know about "wrong"... but we can have fun with "Team America: World Police" videos? After all, it's the hangout. Yes yes?
I say this with all the sincereity from my heart... Who is more insane: Kim Jong Il or Al Davis If Al Davis were a world leader he'd be KJI (without the psuedo-communist dictatorship -- with all the insanity), as KJI would be Al Davis as an NFL owner who still thinks he's relevant and knows the right thing to do.
What, you mean like...

Didn't someone post pics of N. Korea and it looked like they were living in the 80's? I find it hard for a country of that size to make big threats like that unless they had someone backing them up. China maybe?
If Al Davis was running North Korea they would only train soldiers that ran a 4.3 40 or who threw grenades the farthest. They'd be able to retreat very well until trapped at the edge of the Ocean, at that point they'd hurl their grenades 40 yards past the US soldiers. At that point Al would call upon retired, comatose John Madden to come back and lead the Korean soldiers to victory. Comatose Madden, propped up in a hospital bed on the sidelines being fed Turducken through an IV would immediately coax Brett Favre and his robotic arm to come back at the age of 53 and be a general for the Korean army. But Favre will eventually overthrow the Korean government itself and then proclaim himself retired from military duty. He'll change his mind 10 days later, just in time to witness NK blown to Kingdom Come at the order of newly elected US President George P. Bush. The End.
one small problem. the main reason why north korea exist right now is cuz china doesn't want a "westernized" country on it's borders. they're still a big headache for them though.
Only if the little kid is emotionally disturbed and has a collection of switchblades in his room. It looks as if we might see a power transition there in the near future, and the new "Dear Leader" is likely to try and display the size of his **** by lobbing some missiles towards Alaska. An attempt to pull an Iraq on North Korea can't happen because of the extremely high risk of Seoul and Tokyo being nuked. I really hate to say it, but there's been more than one occasion where I have thought that we might just need to wipe Pyongyang and every missile launch site we know of out in a nuclear first strike. Of course, that almost certainly means China and Russia will lose their **** and possibly escalate things into WWIII. Good times on the peninsula.
Well they might not have to worry about it... If we completely blow N. Korea off the globe, then S. Korea can just become the island nation of Korea. They wouldn't actually be on the border of, but across the drink from China... (I'm going to hell for thinking that, aren't I?)
Even if N. Korea declares war on the US, China won't be stupid enough to back N. Korea, there is far, far too much at stake economically and politically. There is idealism and pragmatism, and the latter states that supporting North Korea is r****ded to the point of simple jack. Sounds like more sabre rattling, and history won't look on N. Korea kindly if they do declare war.
North Korea's basically just having fun right now. They know we'll never risk a war with China, and that we're too busy with Iraq and Afghanistan to fully commit to anything. And that we can't justify an invasion on ambiguous weapons intelligence, again.
