N Korea approves nuclear strike on US

[streetcry]

SEOUL: The North Korean army said Thursday it had final approval to launch "merciless" military strikes on the United States, involving the possible use of "cutting-edge" nuclear weapons.
In a statement published by the official KCNA news agency, the General Staff of the Korean People's Army (KPA) said it was formally informing Washington that reckless US threats would be "smashed by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means".
"The merciless operation of (our) revolutionary armed forces in this regard has been finally examined and ratified," the statement said.
North Korea had threatened a "pre-emptive" nuclear strike against the United States a month ago, and last week the supreme army command ordered its strategic rocket units to combat status for strikes on the US mainland and US bases in Guam and Hawaii.
"The moment of explosion is approaching fast," Thursday's statement said, adding that a war could break out on the Korean peninsula "today or tomorrow".
"In view of this situation, the KPA General Staff in charge of all operations will take powerful practical military counteractions in succession," it said.
Despite a successful long-range rocket launch in December, most experts believe North Korea is years from developing a genuine inter-continental ballistic missile that could strike the mainland United States.
Hawaii and Guam would also be outside the range of its medium-range missiles, which would be capable, however, of striking US bases in South Korea and Japan.

Nothing will happen talk only for more than 1/2 century.

Have you been wondering where does N.Korea get so much funding for their military?
I'm suspecting China and Russia has been giving them all the support for several years.

Please launch it and nuke the US..dun be like the useless ball-less Sinkies in this forum.

North Korea has been China's "Ace up the sleeve" for a long time. But now that the cold war is long over, and China will herself join the rest of the world in economic development, North Korea will be very lonely (I wouldn't trust Russia if I were them). Even their long-time Commie partner Cuba will be opening up soon. These North Korean gooks better open their eyes and move away from their hostile stance. Fucking idiots.

Cheers!

N Korea moves missile to east coast: report


North Korea appears to have moved a medium range missile capable of hitting targets in South Korea and Japan to its east coast, the South's Yonhap news agency reported Thursday.

SEOUL - North Korea appears to have moved a medium range missile capable of hitting targets in South Korea and Japan to its east coast, the South's Yonhap news agency reported Thursday.

The movement was detected by both South Korean and US intelligence, Yonhap said, citing military and government sources.
"It appeared that the object was a Musudan mid-range missile," it quoted one South Korean official as saying.

"We are closely monitoring whether the North moved it with a view to actual launch or just as a show of force against the US," the official added.

Japan's Asahi Shimbun newspaper also carried a similar report.
The Musudan missile was first unveiled at a military parade in October 2010 and is believed to have an intended range of around 3,000 kilometres (1,860 miles).

However, it is not known to have been tested.
Yonhap cited intelligence sources as saying the North might launch the missile on April 15, the birth anniversary of founding leader Kim Il-Sung.

I thought North Korea was America's project in NE Asia, to constantly stir shit and keep China and Russia on their toes, while at the same time justifying continued American military presence in South Korea and Japan.

The essence of any military strike is surprise. If NK keeps bragging about striking US, then the element of surprise is gone. Moreover their rocket technology is unreliable and use liquid fuel. The highly corrosive substance can only be stored in the rocket for not more than 2 days before parts within are corroded. It means that the rocket can only be filled up before launch. This makes NK vulnerable from US surveillance and pre-emptive strike before they press the button.

Even if NK manages to strike US, do they have the second-strike capability which is the key to winning a nuclear war? Answer is no.

So it just empty rhetoric from NK.

Northern Gooks risks being obliterated into the yonder if they press the 1st strike button.
They'll be no match versus the entire world.

Dont play paly..they just dock 4 warships here..

The N Korean fatboy shift their aim from Guam and now direct the aim at us....

US boosts missile defence, N Korea warns of nuclear strike


The United States has scrambled to reinforce its Pacific missile defences, preparing to send ground-based interceptors to Guam, as North Korea said Thursday it had authorised plans for nuclear strikes on US targets.

SEOUL - The United States has scrambled to reinforce its Pacific missile defences, preparing to send ground-based interceptors to Guam, as North Korea said Thursday it had authorised plans for nuclear strikes on US targets.
US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Pyongyang's increasingly bellicose threats combined with its military capabilities represented a "real and clear danger" to the United States and to its allies South Korea and Japan.
"They have nuclear capacity now, they have missile delivery capacity now," Hagel said Wednesday. "We take those threats seriously, we have to take those threats seriously."
The Pentagon said it would send ground-based THAAD missile-interceptor batteries to protect military bases on Guam, a US territory some 3,380 kilometres (2,100 miles) southeast of North Korea and home to 6,000 American military personnel, submarines and bombers.
They would complement two Aegis anti-missile destroyers already dispatched to the region.
Shortly after the THAAD announcement, the North Korean military said it had received final approval for military action against the United States, possibly involving nuclear weapons.
"The moment of explosion is approaching fast," the Korean People's Army general staff said, responding to what it called the provocative US use of nuclear-capable B-52 and B-2 stealth bombers in ongoing war games with South Korea.
The US aggression would be "smashed by... cutting-edge smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear strike means," it said in a statement.
While few of the North's threats have been matched with action, reports Thursday said it appears to have moved a medium-range missile capable of hitting targets in South Korea and Japan to its east coast.
"We are closely monitoring whether the North moved it with a view to actual launch or just as a show of force against the US," Yonhap news agency quoted a South Korean official as saying.
A provocative missile test-fired into the sea over Japan is one scenario that analysts have said the North could opt for as a relatively low-risk way of exiting the crisis with a face-saving show of force.
Yun Duk-Min, a professor at the Korea National Diplomatic Academy in Seoul, said the latest nuclear threat was similar to one issued a month ago, but with the added weight of "approval" -- presumably by North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
"The problem is whether Kim, who is still young and inexperienced, knows how to handle this escalation," Yun said. "Where does it end? That's the worrying question."
North Korea blocked access to its Kaesong joint industrial zone with South Korea Thursday for the second day running, and threatened to pull out its 53,000 workers in a furious reaction to the South's airing of a "military" contingency plan to protect its own workers there.
Pyongyang informed Seoul on Wednesday it was stopping the daily movement of South Koreans to the Kaesong complex, the last real surviving point of contact between the two countries.
"The full closure of the complex is set to become a reality," a spokesman for the North's Committee for Peaceful Reunification of Korea (CPRK) said.
The North has said that the more than 800 South Koreans currently in Kaesong -- 10 kilometres (six miles) inside the North Korean border -- can leave whenever they want but many have chosen to stay to keep the factories running.
North Korea threatened a "pre-emptive" nuclear strike against the United States in early March, and last week its supreme army command ordered strategic rocket units to combat status.
Most experts think it is not yet capable of mounting a nuclear device on a ballistic missile capable of striking US bases or territory.
Tensions have soared on the Korean peninsula since December, when the North test-launched a long-range rocket. In February, it upped the ante once again by conducting its third nuclear test.
Subsequent UN sanctions and joint South Korea-US military drills triggered weeks of near-daily threats from Pyongyang, ranging from artillery strikes to nuclear Armageddon.
South Koreans have become accustomed to the North's threats and provocations over the years, and even with tensions as heightened as they are now, there is some public anxiety but little panic.
The latest developments saw the stock market slip by 1.2 percent Thursday, but the bourse has been remarkably resilient with the KOSPI index down barely 1.0 percent overall since war rhetoric cranked up two weeks ago.
The escalating crisis has triggered global concern, with China and Russia issuing repeated calls for restraint and UN chief Ban Ki-moon warning that the situation had "gone too far" and risked spiralling out of control.
This week, the North warned it would reopen its mothballed Yongbyon reactor -- its source of weapons-grade plutonium. It was closed in July 2007 under a six-nation aid-for-disarmament accord.

The US-Korea Institute at John Hopkins University said Wednesday that a satellite photograph seen on March 27 appeared to show construction work around the reactor was already under way.

[YellowRibbon]

Please start a war soon

 

[andyfisher]

talk so much for what. knn.

I think can give the nokor 1/2 ball - they will again draw with the tiong urine help.

so back to normal soon.

any problem for the nokor kimchis, the tiong urines, just park their 'pre loved' aircraft carrier and the hamburgers will be spooked enough to balik kampung. so draw la.

but pls fight can, at least a little border skirmish.

dont talk talk ya ya, but do nothing. like no ball.

That's quite an interesting viewpoint to take.

If I were a North Korean, I wouldn't care which side my great leader chooses to warm up to, I'd care about my own tummy and future. Damn, even the poorest peasant in underdeveloped countries have a better chance of improving themselves than those gooks. Imagine, some of them are running off to and taking their chances in PRC! Too bad they can't unite with their fellow countrymen and oust that fatso supreme leader of theirs.

Cheers!

This is a rocket system not AT

 

[Sideswipe]

not that it matters. i give my moral support to north korea. any facebook page to support dear leader kim...

 

[glockman]

I am sick of all this sabre-rattling. Someone should send in a crack unit in the dead of night to kill off Kim and their top brass. Instant problem rectification.

the rocket arty that the women are pushing is not an anti tank weapon. it the BM-12 107mm multi rocket launcher or a chinese copy the Type 63MRL. it fire high explosive rockets and use for saturated artillery support fire.

btw, even the chinese dont use this antique for its frontline troops, now this weapon are for the reserves units.
