Honestly, if the rest of the world didn't think that N. Korea was falling apart from the inside, the US army would be more than powerful enough to take out N. Korea's technologically weak army.
........The Us has nukes aimed at ever country on earth. Even if it is 100% they will kill us first...they will be destroyed alsosomelameshite said:If it escalates to a nuclear war, America will be in a bit of a pickle as they cant nuke North Korea, but North Korea has no problems in nuking America.
Metal Gear's more what you'd call a launch platform than a delivery system. It definitely makes it easier to hit, say, Chicago if you've got a mobile platform that can stand in Indiana and launch a huge nuclear slug or a missile with a railgun, but... come on, just try and sneak one of those things on a plane. Undetected my ass. We can spot regular ol' tanks from space, what chance does Metal Gear Rex honestly have?ImpostorZim said:To pull something like that off, you'd need some kind of weapon that could launch nukes and remain completely undetected... I'm thinking METAL GEEEARRR!!NickCaligo42 said:Except the delivery system...somelameshite said:If it escalates to a nuclear war, America will be in a bit of a pickle as they cant nuke North Korea, but North Korea has no problems in nuking America.
That's the thing, it's not like you can just have a nuke and throw it at someone anymore. You need a delivery system, a cruise missile or something. Then you need it to be accurate. Then you need it to not malfunction. And those are the hurdles that almost every country who claims to have nuclear weapons can't seem to get over. It's kind of a joke, actually. ICBMs went obsolete years ago, and now the only way to reasonably nuke someone is to use a cruise missile that travels really close to the ground, with a tracking system way too sophisticated or expensive for most countries to be able to produce it.
How about the presence of allies close to North Korea? The resulting fallout of the nuclear warheads may very well spread to South Korea, Japan, maybe China. Its probably the reason why America didn't nuke North Korea yet.nofear220 said:Um, what makes you say this? The US has more than enough nukes to wipe North Korea off the fucking globe and what is there to stop them if the North declares war?somelameshite said:If it escalates to a nuclear war, America will be in a bit of a pickle as they cant nuke North Korea, but North Korea has no problems in nuking America.
...and this.Mantonio said:This is a stupid opinion founded on ignorance, if you don't mind me saying. Nobody in their right mind would side with North Korea, as it is a truly insane Orwellian State. The people are brainwashed, starving, and the government is doo-lally.Subzerowings said:The discussion here is: "Who do you side with and what should happen?
Normally, I'd side with the US, but I've lost a heck of a lot of trust in them since the child porn scandal in the Pentagon.
North Korea might always be seen as either "the enemy" or "the insane ones", but how do you know for sure?
It's like saying that all Americans are fat and stupid.
A good documentary about this can be found at http://www.vbs.tv/newsroom/vice-guide-to-north-korea-1-of-14.
Another, more humourous example is http://www.cracked.com/article_17165_6-reasons-north-korea-funniest-evil-dictatorship-ever.html
And for the record, their Nuclear Weapons are absolutely laughable. The most they could do is hit the very closest tip of Alaska, killing one Polar Bear in the process.
One should also point out that the NK economy is on the brink of collapse for years now and tensions within the country seemed to rise with the failed currency revaluation last year. So, instead of a war a revolution (or a change of government in general) is far more likely. The aggressive stance of the NK government and their saber-rattling with nuclear warfare might be just a method to divert attention of NKs Population from internal problems...Guest_Star said:Wont happen.
China will be laying down the law pretty hard if NK tries to be serious with nukes and shit.
Even a conventional attack against SK (or Japan for that matter) will end up with a new (and more puppetlike) govt in Pyongyang.
China aint got time for war in their own back garden, they are far to busy being a nascent economic superpower. Anything that threatens that will be crushed ruthlessly.
Yeah, just like the US.Dajosch said:One should also point out that the NK economy is on the brink of collapse for years now and tensions within the country seemed to rise with the failed currency revaluation last year.

Yes, but unfortunately for him(and fortunately for us), his "missile delivery system", and I use that term very loosely, is probably just 200 North Koreans picking up the missile and tossing it in the air. At most, it would probably land in his front yard.Christopher Dudgeon said:Kim jong Il Is possibly the only leader who is crazy enough to actually push the damned button
Actually Kim Jong-il is not the God Emperor of North Korea. His father is, and his father is dead. Yea, apparently in their constitution there is a line that says, "Under the leadership of the Workers' Party of Korea, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and the Korean people will hold the great leader Comrade Kim Il-sung in high esteem as the eternal President of the Republic."angry_flashlight said:Remember people, despite being a "God-Emperor" Kim Jong Il is this:

Not this:

If he was ^this I would be very, very scared, but he's not.
He's just a petulant dictator yelling "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!" over and over again at the other nations of the world, hoping they'll toss him some scraps of food that he can misuse.
I wonder what will happen when his 'Yes-Men' finally own up to the fact that all of his allies are fictional villains.Lonan said:North Korea threatens U.S. with a good mooning. North Korea threatens to unlock a rift in the fabric of the space-time continuum releasing the Dalek race upon every nation of the world unless the U.S. stops giving food to it's people, who are still starving.
Kim Jong Ill is said to be in talks with Emperor Palpatine. While the Emperor was unavailable for comment, his closest aid believes a fruitful working relationship is possible between the two parties: "My Master finds this Kim Jong Ill to be most agreeable." said the Sith Lord who goes by the name "Darth Vader".
The ageing North Korean leader also appears to be in dealing with a mysterious race from beyond the galaxy's edge only known as the "Reapers." Concerns were raised when it was suggested that this race may have wiped out an ancient space faring race called the "Protheans," who's empire is believed to have once stretched across the entire galaxy.
Experts are taking all of these threats equally seriously.
dont be silly, he doesnt need a parachuteimnotparanoid said:new idea!
parachute chuck norris into N.Korea, should wrap this shit up in about,10, better make it 11 second's

And they actually had a reason to be there. It's basically fighting old battles, which is stupid, but I can see why we'd want to fight them.
But thanks for the correction.
And the Korean War is still actually going on. It hasnt ended, theres just a ceasfire so I guess you could say you were right after all in a way![]()
