Should we worry about North Korea?

Or rather, should America? In light of the recent Sonygate and subsequent accusation of hacking from North Korea, USA are considering putting them on their list of terrorist countries. North Korea are very offended by this.

Is it likely North Korea could start trouble, could this be the seeds being sown for another Vietnam?

Yes good point. My history is terrible, I forgot the US had already fought in support of South Korea.

Enforcing THAT haircut on citizens is enough grounds for them to be put on the terrorism list tbh.

Lets bomb Russia.

North Korea are a joke. You just know that at the high level conferences, like the NATO summit or the G8/G20 meetings, all the prominent World leaders get together and just rip the **** out of the DPRoK, it's leadership and all of the stupid and idle threats coming from that place.

I bet they all sit round that big table behind closed doors and have a right old laugh.

Apart from idea that N.Korea can turn S.Korea into pile of dirt with its artillery, especially Seoul...

And that any western involvement in the war there will bring immense casualties along with serious issues with Russia and China who would not be that happy with having US troops literally on their borders.

Yeah they are a total joke, especially if Kim decides to drop a nuke on Seoul, bloody hilarious mate.

LOL, North Korea. Still fighting the Cold War. Still desperately seeking relevance in a world which has almost forgotten her.

Should we be worried? Nope.

Why. Because they have the capability of hiring a bunch of Chinese hackers to do their dirty job?

Captain · 22 Dec 2014 at 06:46

Why would we start now?

Hades · 22 Dec 2014 at 06:53

Yes because their top military have dozens of medals each and the biggest brimmed hats you've ever seen. We have nothing to compete with that.

No.

North Korea is an insignificant threat.

If anything was likely to kick off the South Koreans would crush them in fairly short order.

IIRC the artillery largely doesn't have the range to reach Seoul and the US already has troops there in South Korea.
