The hell with them! They want a nuke? Let's send them 4 or 5. 30 minutes delivery or they are free. I am sure we have a few neutron bombs gathering dust on the shelf somewhere. Maybe after that we can get to more important stuff like ending all foreign aid and getting the UN the heck out of our country.

We must stop with the "kill our enemies" mentality and start thinking of loving our enemies.

wasent the last Korean war a UN action not just a usa invasion? so would that not mean that if hostilities start up again it would be under the UN banner like last time? also of note is the fact that the biggest threat from nk does not come from nukes perse but the huge ammount of artillery pointed at south koreas capital and the civllians that will be shelled at the start of any conflict

North Korea can wipe the South pretty easily if it would'nt be for the UN presence. It's a huge military with a LOT of firepower, and yes, at least a few devastating nukes.
Let's hope whatever happens, this doesn't turn into a larger nuclear exchange.
No let's not hope. Let's pray.

"Right Now Is the Hour!"
by Kim Nam Ho
One heart
One will
Tens of thousands fiercely arise as one in this land
To pulverize the aggressor bunch
Who are rounding up the fiery clouds of nuclear war
In cooperative fields and zones of iron
Thousands of miles of defense lines cry out:
Now is the time
To pulverize the aggressor bunch
Who are rounding up the fiery clouds of nuclear war
Right now is the time
To press our missile launch button
Targeting Washington, the bulwark of US imperialism,
Which has left generations-long hatred in this land!
For generations,
Not one arrowhead or stone was thrown
At the United States across the Pacific Ocean
For over a hundred years and into the new century
We have overcome perilous peaks of trials
And made bullets for the ultimate settlement of accounts
With this sworn enemy, US imperialists
Who have forced misfortune and suffering on our nation
We have awaited nuclear weapons
Now
As the powerful national strength which has a grasp on nukes
The pride of a space-conquering, powerful state
Is fiercely racing through our blood vessels
So that the conviction in sure victory
That overcomes tens of thousands of enemies in one breath
Rises to touch heaven.
Now is the hour
When hatred and rage can no longer be contained
And erupts like a volcano
To relieve hearts knotted up with vengeance
So the entire nation embraces one another as one
Each mountain will be a launch pad for
Burning the US imperialists' fortress down to its foundational roots
The seas will rise up in whoa-whoa raging waves
To overwhelm the bands of aggression
Freezing fields and forests will cause
The enemies to faint standing
The land which cries for an ultimate settlement with US imperialists
With its tens of thousands of soldiers rising as a mountain range
The iron hammer for the demise and destruction of US imperialists held high
With the sky-high determination to wipe out the enemy
This country is swelled up as one huge, fiery ball of revenge
Let us blow up the base camp of war without even leaving ashes
For the ultimate victory of the Mt Paektu great nation
The time to establish the fatherland reunification work
Can no longer be put off It is not tomorrow, but now!
Right now is the hour!
Well, this surely beats John Keats... Forget Greek vases and imperialist bull#.
Thanks for translating, whoever did it...
The motif of the "iron hammer" and the term "fatherland" is artfully subtle, and there is a decidedly de-constructionist streak in the "one, huge fiery ball of revenge", coupled with "the volcano of hatred"
No one should accuse this artist of mincing his words...
