There not talking about the mainland USA. I'm pretty sure they know their max range with their artillery which will hit bases around their own region. Missiles will have the range to hit Haywaii and about "haha you can't get it here" comment from you, how the hell do you know they don't have a terror cell right here in the USA with a dirty bomb?

USA had enough trouble fighting "insurgents" in Iraq and Afghanistan...wait until they fight a real army or even a mediocre army like North Korea. China won't allow USA to border them either hint hint.

North Korea technology at its best.

Why do they all have that " what does this button do" look.

Good reason alot of people don't take them serious. Including me.

I thought this youtube video interesting, and no, I didn't get the memo...?

If anything, this shows their resourcefulness. It takes great skill and technology to convert an upright piano into a piece of military hardware!

During 1970 when I was in Vietnam, our Helicopter Squadron would fly to a fire base and land in the province of Tay Ninh. Our mission was flying 'Chase' for B52's. What that meant was that we were rescue helicopters and would be dispatched for Rescue missions should a B52 be shot down. We were never deployed for the B52's luckily, and none went down.
However, from where we were landed, you could see the horizon to our northwest and the B52 bomb runs. It appeared as a low lying gray on the horizon with orange sparks emanating within the gray. This was actual explosions in progress. The were pretty much nonstop from sunup to sundown, with only brief lulls in bombing activity. Hundreds of thousands of tons of ordinance was used on these bombing runs, and they lasted for days. After this mission, we flew into the area of bombardment and I can assure you from an altitude of 2,000 feet there was nothing left but gray destruction. Nothing standing. Mt. St. Helens without the trees. Total destruction, just soft mounds of soil.

We are capable of doing this to North Korea. Will we? I hope not. But the time of war the North Koreans want is at hand.

t would be quite ignorant if the US didn't have the missile intercepting weapons combat ready for just in case. Even though it looks like another provocation and nothing more at that time.

I believe a re esculation would be very bad. Then the counter attack happens, and happens, and happens, etc....etc.....

I think the department of defense has been waiting for this.

It sure is getting more intense by the day now, i find it weird that NK is acting so tough, do you not think that maybe they have an allie ready to help them maybe say Russia? China might not even know about it, or might be on in it too, didn't some high ranking Russian defectors years ago say that Russia was preparing for ww3, haven't Russia just finished building all their new nuke bunkers? why build new ones in the first place, if anyones ready for ww3 it sure seems Russia is.

Anyone catch this?

North Korea said on Tuesday its strategic rocket and long-range artillery units have been ordered to be combat ready, targeting U.S. military bases on Guam, Hawaii and mainland America after U.S. bombers flew sorties threatening the North.

Why are we provoking them?

I could see this happening. Imagine the NK rockets were just a distraction while the Russian ones were being prepared. Scary though...but just a thought. I don't think nuclear war is going to happen just yet. Not yet.

How does NKorea get away with all of these threats? Those threats are an act of war! The UN needs to get together and take care of this problem once and for all!! I am not too worried about a missile making it here, but at some point in time they will have the Tech. I live on the West Coast, so for me it is something that could happen in the future.

I think we are provoking them, by flexing our muscles because of all of the damn threats they keep making. Are we supposed to not do anything at all. Lets face it they have been provoking us far more than we them. They have threatened us almost weekly for months and months.

We have to remember that NK is fast running out of options. Their trading options are limited, their country is impovrished, their resources are limited and their counrty is run by a psychotic under a dictatorship. Sounds a lot like Nazi Germany after WW1 doesn't it?
Options: 1. Sit there and take it till all resources are gone and you starve
2. Hand over the reigns of leadership
3. Beg for resolution and start normal international relasionships
4. Start a war

I wounder, in the long haul, which way this will go?

That is a problem. They don't have tech now, but they will eventually. Won't be rhetoric then. I wouldn't be too surprised if Russia is already helping them with that problem.

After US bombers flew sorties "threatening" the North. Oh so the resulting statement "threatening the US" is a really a reaction to an actual provocation by the US. But never mind the actual bully, just focus on the paper tiger.

Carry on...

Are you F'ing kidding me??? Russia sends bombers into US air space on a regular bases and we don't pull out our measuring stick to do a richard measuring contest with them. Come on now. Sorties? They probably thought the single prop Cessna flying 60 miles away from their boarder was some form of new B-2 bomber. LOL to simple minds!

Their precious leader is threatening to attack one of the worlds superpowers, which could crush their military like a bug.

If I was North Korean I would be afraid, knowing that my president wanted to start an unnecessary war that could kill me, my family, and my countrymen. No amount of propaganda could sway me.

What we need is a few coordinated drone strikes to take out the ruling hierarchy and military leaders, they are the ones who are orchestrating all this rubbish.

The problem, however, is those people are disillusioned with grandeur that their military is the most elite in the world and with no outside information to tell them otherwise. They honestly think they could wipe any nation from the planet with a single swoop. That's the scary part in that these people are SOOOO brained washed and we would have to slaughter millions of truly innocent, disillusioned people to liberate them.

This is their new military tech. Notice the dining room chair and the Logitech mouse. Also it has wheels!!
its mobile!!!!.
