Before this gets slammed for being Political.......

With all the subs we have, it won't end well.

I thought Rodman had straightened it all out.

The report is funny, knowing how many prepared nukes we have not only on submarines, but also in silos.

Not a smart move, Kim.

He also said Kim was a good guy. Apparently not everything the media reports is true....

RRRRiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigggghhhht.

Just upping the rhetoric because he's eating all the food that should go to the commoners.

There is a guy who pushes a shopping cart full of crap around town here... he occasionally screams obscenities and threats at passer-byes. He has been around for years, no one takes him seriously.

Hans Brix!! Row no!!!!

Team America berkeley YEAH!

Even using an ICBM, they wouldn't stand a chance against the continental US. We've got multiple methods of shooting down stuff.

They may have luck aiming for South Korea/US Military bases, but our intelligence of that small country is so good I don't think they'd be able to stage a missile without us knowing.

Not really scary. Its like when a little dog acts all tough. Annoying, yes, but when bark comes to bite, he's going to be the one paying for his aggression.

LOL I was starting to think Kim Jong Un wouldn't live up to his dad's legacy as a crazy dictator, but he doesn't disappoint.

I so ronery.

Ten years ago I would agreed. Now I think we're a giant pansy, and he may get his way.

This. Like father, like son.

But I think even that nutcase realizes that those nighttime pics of a dark North Korea would be replaced by ones that glow green.

What, like Bin Laden got his way?

I'm sure even our anti-war Secretary of State would have no problems dropping a few non-nukes on the NK.

Just gotta ride that fine between humanitarian intervention and pissing off the reds.

I thought the use of WMDs was supposed to be replied to in kind? Or have I read too many Tom Clancy novels?

The NoKo's throw a tantrum every time they're about to get punished. Because they got away with it in the past, they've learned to do it every time since. The Chinese are a very patient people, but I wonder how much longer it is before they beotch slap their smart-mouth little brother.

We, in the US, should worry more about getting o-droned than receiving a bottle rocket from a man-boy named Kim.

Nope, you are not dreaming. That's US policy. It's called 'proportional response' and not only states that a nuke attack will be answered in kind but it equates chemical/biological weapons with nukes.

And, interestingly, I just got an email from management that talks bout new requirements for business travel to South Korea...

UN supposed to vote at 10AM today. Anyone hear how it went yet? Any suspicious looking barges spotted floating up the Potomac?

Nah, this one won't get locked. I think everyone is pretty much in agreement that Kim Jong Un is a whack.

In reply to Curmudgeon:

With your avatar, talking about US policy....... Ok, who will be riding the bomb out of the plane?? WOOO hoooo!!!

"I got your weapons of mass destruction right here!"

You have to admit they have some snappy parades.
