They aren't firing long range missiles..

They are medium range missiles, and it basically the same components as a scud, it is just two scud tanks bolted together. North Korea is much more intimidating with their bullying and paranoid ways than the reality that they can’t even feed their own people or keep the power on.

Just saw that a few minutes ago when I decided to check up on the situation.

Still, I’d be scared if I was within their range – they’re desperate to show their power.

by bdalebs on Jun 23, 2009 10:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

If you are scared...

You should read Jane’s Military manual, or any group that does report on nations armed forces. The NK missiles are much bark than bite, and can’t hit Hawaii, The NK can’t even build a warhead properly, and I am talking an non nuclear warhead. The NK missiles are Scud copies. Scuds are pretty much exact copies of the German V2s, which means the NK are using 65 year old technology..

Freaking out about NK missiles means more money to companies who have a vested interest in Missile Defense like Lockheed or Boeing..

by superferret on Jun 23, 2009 10:16 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm not scared, myself.

I said I would be scared if I was within their range. Also, the worst threats are the ones you don’t know are there – kinda like how the best weapon is one you never have to use.

fear of North Korea

is silly. They’re just the bugaboo of the week.

These tinpot dictators have to thump their chests and act like they are real players on the world stage, but nobody really takes them seriously.

by RickD on Jun 23, 2009 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

Says you

North Korea has around 13,000 pieces of artillery within range of the 25 million people in Seoul, S. Korea’s capital. Combined with the nukes they could fire at Japan, they could kill a lot of civilians very quickly.

I think he was talking about the Hawai'i threats in particular.

Of course, they’d get very few attacks off before they were stopped.

OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.

by bdalebs on Jun 23, 2009 10:08 PM EDT up reply actions  

First...

North Korea acts more like homeless man who issues threats left and right. They don’t have enough fuel to carry the rounds to the guns. We don’t even know if they have the equipment to maintain these guns.

They don’t have nukes… The most recent test emitted no radiation, which is kind of strange for a nuclear test. If it was a fission explosion, it would be less than Hiroshima. Their other nuclear test was a dud, because they screwed up the enrichment process and process the plutonium wrong.

  Testing a nuclear bomb and making a nuclear warhead are two very different things, it took the US and the USSR years to make something like w-40 warhead.

If they invaded South Korea, they would be crushed. Yes, it would cause hundred of thousands to a million of casualties on both sides, and needs to be avoided, but the North Koreans don’t have the fuel or food to even feed its army in Peacetime, they don’t have the jet fuel to train their pilots, they don’t have money to replace parts for their old tanks, Their best weapon is making threats, in reality they are a joke.

by superferret on Jun 23, 2009 10:23 PM EDT up reply actions  

For the sake of South Korea, I hope you're right.

OverTheMonster - ALLERGEN WARNING: May contain peanut butter.

by bdalebs on Jun 23, 2009 10:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

well...

it’s been over 65 years since they last attacked South Korea.

Nations really are not suicidal. They know the US will defend either S. Korea or Japan against any attack, and I think they know by now neither China nor Russia would lift a finger to help them.

by RickD on Jun 23, 2009 10:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

For the Sake of North Korea..

I am right, so it doesn’t get napalmed as they did in Korean War. North Korea would lose big time, yes there will be huge casualties on both sides, but North Korea would destroyed by a combination of South Korean and US forces with the South Koreans destroying the North Koreans in weeks or even days.

A third of North Korea’s population isn’t trusted by the Government, the other third is looked upon with huge suspicion. Want to talk about massive defections of the North Korean Army?

by superferret on Jun 23, 2009 10:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

Isn't that the point?

bad jokes aside, “Their best weapon is making threats”; & part of the ploy, I’d think is to hope the threats drum up anti American sentiment ( or anti -whatever enemy of the day is)

There is lots of money wasted on these North Korea "threats"

There wouldn’t be a missile defense program unless there were North Korea firing bolted on Scuds and calling them “medium range missiles”

Missile defense doesn't work

It cost billions and an ICBM can easily evade the defense. It is a complete waste of money..ONe reason they cancel the 747 with the laser on it..

and then they would be paved in glass

Artillery is so 19th century.

The US could probably drop 13,000 nuclear warheads on Pyongyang if we wanted to.
(OK, 1300 would be more realistic, and 130 is certainly do-able, but since it would take less than 13, I’m not so worried.)

by RickD on Jun 23, 2009 10:32 PM EDT up reply actions  

We could drop a hell of a lot more than that.

But I don’t envy the crescent shape of the moon, so I’d prefer not to go any higher than 13 in that size area.

The US completely wiped out Pyongyang during the Korean War

We just fire bombed Pyongyand to complete ruins, there was really nothing left, this was with a couple B-29s. Just look at some of the pictures of Pyongyang during the Korean war, it looks like Warsaw in 1945. (Which the Nazi destroyed completely)

to trade Damon in a deal before the Free Agent trading deadline with Nady coming back..

trade Damon, He can hit, but his fielding is becoming an embarrassment… a team like the Giants, who need a leadoff hitter, the Mariners etc.
