Should we worry about North Korea?

Nope.
SK should still worry (as always) though. If NK were to do anything horrific, they're more than likely to be on the receiving end.
 
Out of all the crazy statements and things N. Korea has done in the last few years you worry about a film/ hacking scandal? A little while back N.Korea more or less threatened the US with a Nuke and the situation all died down. You're opening post is so over dramatically written you should work for the tabloids.

And what kind of inside job disgruntled employee, higher management doing it for some "plan" or someone finding the minimum wage cleaner and going hey here's 500 quid stick this usb stick in one of the computers at night and take it out the next day when you go back
 
Well I don't think we have to worry about them in a Red Dawn sort of way but there should be a modicum of concern where any nation with ICBMs is associated. However I do think that China would step in and put them in their place should they get too rowdy. China donate a huge amount of aid to NK, without it and the flagrant spending the NK government do on arms, military and themselves, the people of NK would starve and a war on their doorstep is not in Chinas best interest so they would quash it quickly.

I don't think they have even medium range missiles let along long range or intercontinental working yet.

Possibly a disgruntled employee, can't remember where I read it but they said that who ever it was knew exactly where to go to get the material that was stolen.

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

We already fought in support of South Korea.

Anyway, North Korea are always threatening to destroy the world, I'd not be too concerned. But if we did go to war with them, it would be nothing like Vietnam in terms of the style of warfare. It would be more like Desert Storm.

Nah it would probably be more like the Korean War in style of warfare.

No, I don't think it would. China is fed up with North Korea and is unlikely to come to their rescue; plus North Korea has a few nuclear warheads, this alone will dramatically change the dynamics. However with the overwhelming air superiority of the US, I imagine we'd more likely see another desert storm; at least along the border.

Hummm.. Maybe they don't but with the current climate in Russia it wouldn't surprise me if they could get hold of them in 10 mins.. Like someone on this forum can do with a Mac10. :D But seriously Russia is extremely corrupt and I would expect they have transport routes in and out of NK that could easily transport cold war era weaponry. They may not have a huge range but could be used to devastating effect that would in no doubt instigate a heavy handed response from the Americans.

Seoul is 25 odd miles from N.Korea and has 10 million population... They dont need to have intercontinental missiles... They can essentially drop a nuke on Seoul with no major issues from a bomber on a suicide mission...

25 miles in the air is nothing, a bomb can free fall for majority of that.
 
For all the giggling the international community supposedly does at North Korea's expense, it but be a damned Hellish place to live. :(

They don't even need nuclear weapons to flatten Seoul, they've enough conventional artillery pointed at it already.
