Can you imagine the field day the press and liberals would have after we dropped some kind of nuke, regardless of provocation?

Navy Seal vs NK SOF

SOF: "Die American Scum!" Seal: "Here's a candy bar." SOF: "I love you great satan!"

We should just lob a fake one that explodes over the city and drops skittles.

What kind of range does NK have anyway?

UN said: (CNN) -- The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Thursday for tougher sanctions against North Korea. China, North Korea's key ally, could have vetoed the resolution -- but instead agreed to it. Leading up to the vote, Pyongyang unleashed an even harsher bout of fiery rhetoric than usual, threatening its enemies with the possibility of a "preemptive nuclear attack." Despite the strong language, analysts say North Korea is still years away from having the technology necessary to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile and aim it accurately at a target. The bellicose statement, carried by the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency, came during a week of high tension on the Korean Peninsula as military drills take place on either side of the heavily armed border that divides the two Koreas. On Tuesday, North Korea said it planned to scrap the armistice that stopped the Korean War in 1953 and warned it could carry out strikes against the United States and South Korea. Anger from North Korea over sanctions North Korea's nuclear ambitions Flash Brief: North Korea nuclear Rodman's bizarre trip to North Korea In a new statement Thursday, a spokesman for the North Korean foreign ministry suggested the United States "is set to light a fuse for a nuclear war." As a result, North Korea "will exercise the right to a preemptive nuclear attack to destroy the strongholds of the aggressors and to defend the supreme interests of the country," the statement said. Analysts say North Korea is unlikely to seek a direct military conflict with the United States, preferring instead to try to gain traction through threats and the build up of its military deterrent. READ: Report: North Korea threatens to end armistice South Korea had responded to Pyongyang's earlier saber-rattling with an unusually tough statement Wednesday, warning it would retaliate "strongly and sternly" against North's military command and forces if the "lives and safety of South Koreans" came under threat. The menacing language from North Korea is consistent with the array of bellicose statements it has made previously -- it has declared the cease-fire to be irrelevant before. But it comes amid increased concern over Pyongyang's dogged efforts to advance its nuclear and missile technology after a recent long-range rocket launch and underground atomic blast.

Im sure its not just liberals who have qualms about nuclear warfare.

If they can put something into orbit, they can get it here......and I wouldn't put much faith in our "missile shield" as its a.) Never been tested and b.) Doesn't protect from an electromagnetic pulse.

If they do go to attempt this, it'll probably be just like Homefront predicted.....a nuclear weapon in orbit over the US disguised as a satellite. Detonate in orbit, EMP knocks out nearly everything. That'd be more effective than a nuclear strike on US soil.

Homefront's plot was almost scary, hell even Kim Jong Il died in about the timeline of the game. However, in that game the two koreas had reunited, and I don't see that happening.

They did get into space, even if suborbital....I admittedly haven't payed much attention to their sucess rate though.

Brandon, in that game they had news paper articles scattered around to find......some of them talked about how they pulled off the reunification, some over Japan, some over US, some over weapons they used, etc...That was really scary.

No missile needed. All they need to do is buy a decent size fishing boat, stuff a warhead in the cabin area then park it in a marina.

The scarier proposition is they decide to do this by proxy and hand a nuke off to a jihadist group (who will be happy to smuggle, set off, claim credit), high five each other in the men's room, but say nothing publicly about it, and hopefully avoid the counter-strike. If they really meant to do it, that's the way to pull if off.

The fact that they're yapping about it means they probably don't intend to do anything.

General "Buck" Turgidson: Doctor, you mentioned the ratio of ten women to each man. Now, wouldn't that necessitate the abandonment of the so-called monogamous sexual relationship, I mean, as far as men were concerned?

Dr. Strangelove: Regrettably, yes. But it is, you know, a sacrifice required for the future of the human race. I hasten to add that since each man will be required to do prodigious... service along these lines, the women will have to be selected for their sexual characteristics which will have to be of a highly stimulating nature.

Ambassador de Sadesky: I must confess, you have an astonishingly good idea there, Doctor.

Gee, I wish we had one of them doomsday machines.

Stop what you're doing, go to a store, purchase Dr. Strangelove, watch 2 or 3 times and come back when you're done.
