no...what are they? the new type of ICBM that gets to the US in 30minutes? or a SHIP that will never be allowed to leave port in NK?

I hear that bombs are illegal in the UK, so I'm sure everything is under control over there.

It's not like people can't blow things up if they want to, right? Now multiply that times a thousand with a nuke. It doesn't have to come on the tip of an ICBM you know.

Last I heard there was no blockade of any nk ports at this time. That also doesn't rule out the use of a proxy from a group that profited from nk sharing technology or weapons.

Calll me stupid if ya like , but IF , they detonated even a 1kt nuke , isn't that enough to be worried about?

NOt that it would level L.A. I guess , but it would kill a bunch of it landed someplace densely populated.

I mean to read some of thse posts in this thread , some seem to lead on that a small 1-15kt nuke is no big deal.

AM I wrong in thinking that even one that"small" is still pretty dang bad?

Retop, those who say this doesn't worry them say that not because 1kt is small, but because even if it had been 100kt, they don' t think that the North Koreans have the will or ability to actually hit us with one of them. In fact, a couple people are arguing that nuclear arms are the unalienable right of any soveriegn state.

I'd have to agree with you. No enemy, in the modern day and age, is worth underestimating.

My 1 vote this election season , will not be the one that wins anyone anything. Nor will it be the one that the U.N. considers when kissing yet anothers *** in this world. Nor will it gain any assurances from any politician about doing GOOD things while in office , instead of spending their whole term trying to get re-elected.

It will not be anything to do with disarming Iraq , Bin Laden , Hezzbooloo's , Taliban , NK , Iran , Insurgents in Iraq. It will not make one difference in my belief is religeon , abortion , stem cell research , the death penaly , taxes , fair play in anything.

So...I'll vote and know that it was no more than a cleansing of the mind knowing all I had was that and I exercised it.

It's as I said not that I am "Worried" about them as much as I am them selling it. But mainly what my point is that no matter the size , it seems like a "Big" deal to me as far as a nuke goes. ANy size nuke is a big nuke....they just grow from BIG to biggest I guess. IMHO

Confusing enuff?

Whats unfortunate is that nearly ANY war-like move by the west, Seoul is wiped off map, and they can just do that with artillery from the other side of the DMZ

Certainly North Korea could do some serious damage to Seoul but Seoul is a large sprawling city. The North is not going to be allowed to hammer away at Seoul using their artillery with impunity.

the problem is, theres like 15000 pieces aimed at Seoul.... and nukes can be launched by cannons....

with our counter-battery abilities the NK guns won't be firing long.

bj229r · « **Reply #295 on:** October 15, 2006, 08:55:24 PM »

we hve like 30000 troops there, is it possible that ALL of them are arty guy?

I'm talking about counter-battery radar, silly.

the second that they fire the cannon we know it's position.

you can wipe out thier emplacements with your weapon of choice.

exactly. The only way NK are going to die, is if they commit suicide. Both China, Russia, and USA should be signing plans on "what happens next" right now... USA cant be throwing nukes around when they dont know exactly how china and russia feel about something like this happening on there door step
