Board 8 > North Korea issues unusually specific threat

(+) Yeah! (+)

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/envoy/north-korea-issues-unusually-specific-threat-152720861.html

North Korea's military vowed a new and unusually specific threat to its neighbors, saying it would reduce South Korea "to ashes" in less than four minutes.

The statement, released Monday when programming was interrupted on North Korea's state TV by a special report, comes amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula.

...

According to the Associated Press, the statement from North Korea was unusual in promising something soon and in describing a specific period of time.

So are they saying South Korea will be reduced to ashes four minutes after the attack starts, or in four minutes from the time of the announcement?

So is this threat different than any other of their daily threats to reduce South Korea to ashes?

It only takes once for them to actually act on their threats for disaster to happen.

honestly, the rest of the world needs to get together and just collectively b****slap the north koreans

No one can touch north korea because china

the only way to deal with china is with nukes, and no one wants to do that. Probably because we have no missile defense system.

Hey, if we're going to invade Iran for wanting to reduce Israel to ashes, we might as well invade North Korea as well. It's funny how the only time we don't invade countries for making threats is when they are made towards us (Soviet Union). MGS3 doesn't count.

i think they meant from start to finish the attack would last 4 minutes

not 4 minutes after the statement

North Korea wants to be invaded. Don't give them the satisfaction unless they actually do something.

The entire country of North Korea will be revealed to be a secret giant robot and will transform and step on South Korea. It took many many years of secret planning to import so many materials and completely roboform the landscape. The end is nigh.

There is no shame in not knowing; the shame lies in not finding out

If North Korea acts, it gets flattened by the full force of everyone else in the world.

If North Korea doesn't, it's business as usual.

china jumps in on NK's side

china vs america because the combined force of every other country in the world is pretty much irrelevant

North Korea wouldn't do anything dramatic like that unless it was do or die. A large, unprovoked attack would end badly for them.

If NK attacked someone, and the world retaliated, China would most definitely not defend them. China will protect them from unprovoked attacks, maybe, but they're really not valuable enough for China to pick a fight with the entire world.

Yep. They wouldn't want to go to war with America and South Korea in North Korea's defense.

Man, can you imagine if all of North Korea was just one big transformer? Like, if the land just sort of rose up out of the ground and twisted around to form a giant robot? I would be f***ing rooting for them to pulverize South Korea.

and then where would I get my Kung Pao Chicken!

hey now, they wouldn't go to war with south korea because it'd be gone! keep up, HM.

now they wouldn't want to go with the US, Europe, and India, no. and if history has proven anything, it's that Japan has a good habit of beating China down too.

Why the hell would China defend NK from the whole word?

That'd be extremely stupid of them.

I also don't think China would act if North Korea did something first. The government has moved away from support other communist countries to being self-serving. "To get rich is glorious" - Deng Xiaoping. If the wikileaks cables are any indication, the Chinese government has no faith in the country and views them as a liability.

If a war was to break out, they'd probably do this:

- Scold western powers for interfering in Asian politics
- Not send troops to support North Korea, but pay them lipservice.
- Offer to serve as a mediator.

China defends North Korea because North Korea is an extra border of protection for them from us.

So are they saying South Korea will be reduced to ashes four minutes after the attack starts, or in four minutes from the time of the announcement?

I didn't even consider it could mean the former, but I guess that makes more sense since I heard about this well over four minutes ago.
