Is North Korea all talk?

Or do you think they will eventually do something?

"North Korea vowed Saturday to launch an all-out attack against South Korean loudspeakers and other propaganda facilities along their heavily fortified border, warning it could even turn Seoul into a sea of flame."

I'm not too sure if they want to risk it but their threats seem to be increasing in potency.

Always have been. People don't become ruthless dictators by being suicidal.

Now is not a good time for Korea II so if they want to go to civil war yet again, they are ontheir own.

The way I see it is if they were really going to do something maybe they wouldn't publicly announce it. It would be a complete surprise. But I still can't be sure, that guy's nuts.

North Korea is all talk.

Pretty much; but sooner or later they're going to make a nuclear threat and that's when Operation: Korea 2.0 is initiated.AirGuitarist87

They've threatened to use nukes before. On the US, even, I think.

Nah, they've got like a billion artillery units all pointed at Seoul, and that's been the case since pretty much forever. Nuking someone who is like 40 miles from your border is not exactly the smartest plan around, and Kim knows it. And this is at least the third time they've threatened to turn Seoul into a "sea of flame" (those exact words, no less). It's pretty much their standard saber-rattling line; it's nothing new.

We should just get rid of them :P...

But i don't believe they'll be doing anything in the near future..(watch them prove me wrong :x...)

Minus the occaissional ship blasted for the lulz, yeah.

Pretty much.

They talk about how they could take us all on and how great they are, but secretly they just want a friend. :(

everyone is all talk... until a certain point. EMOEVOLUTION

very true. im like that :P

They have no allies who would be willing to stand by them if they started any conflict at all. They are indeed all talk, and i imagine they're well aware of that. Ninja-Hippo

This. Plus they're completely outclassed militarily by every developed nation in the world.

Ok and...?

If anything, if we bomb (NOT nuke, bomb) the hell out of Pyongyang, what will they really do? Thats where all the military elites and Gov.t officials live. Outside of there is basically poor people who hate their country as much as the rest of the world.

By the way, if anyone wants to see a nice BBC documentary where they go into North Korea, I recommend watching this.

Radioactive bunnies scare me. :?

It's funny because N Korea think their some kind of superpower that is un stoppable :lol:

yes of course they are, and if there not then they will be crushed like a bug.

This is how I see it, North Korea is like a teenager with his first pocket knife. The problem is North Korea is in a room full of grown men with AK47s.

i doubt that North Korea would take military action against South Korea. There are U.S. troops stationed at the boarder between both countries, and risking killing or hurting even one American solider can spark US involvement (bombing the hell out of NK). It's a very uncomfortable feeling knowing that NK may use their military power, but they have just been blowing smoke just to get south korea, as well as the rest of the worlds nations on edge.

If they do, they should probably do it July 27th.JigglyWiggly_

Starcraft 2 comes out on that day.

Yea I think they are all talk personally. Although, the older Kim jung whatever gets, the more nervous I become. I am afraid he is going to start reasoning that if he is going to die anyway, he may as well take the korean peninsula with him...

I'm sure the victims of that ship don't think they're all talk.Jaguar_Shade

[QUOTE="Darthkaiser"][QUOTE="QiiXii"] That's just cruel. :PSgtKevali

Wonder what would happen if the next ship sunk has SK Star Craft 2 supply being shipped in...

all talk and no bombs makes kim a very dull boy

North Korea is like the Stapler Guy in Office Space. He constantly threatens to burn the building down, but no one listens, and then one day he finally does it.

Kim wouldn't do that.. He would have nothing to gain and everything to lose.. Especially when they want to invade and take over South Korea, something that can't be done if they nuke the country.

I hope not. It's time to pimp slap them.

They were all talk.

Until they destroyed a South Korean ship unprovoked. I think it can get worse. Hopefully not.
