You realised you just used the internet to say that?
Bunch of SK people tweet what they saw, NK officials read it.

Why will there be a ww3, whos gonna side with NK to support them, the USSR is no more...China also wont go into full support they depend heavily on the US they wont ruin megabucks for a few lunatics in NK.

i wish they would just hurry up and flatten north korea, its about time they had something decent to watch on tv and nothing beats watching a conflict on tv
It's boring though. It's all grainy guncams and blue-jacketed reporters who 'embed' themselves to work on their important and serious facial expressions. Where's the glitz? Where's the glamour?
Soldato
we do get the odd bit of good action and we might get the korean version of the iraqi information minister

The person who linked the timeline. I'm impressed that 100 commandos invaded and 110 died.
North Korea messing with math!
You mean the bit where he said more than 100 invaded?

The last time the US invaded NK, they allegedgly crossed the Chinese border and got their ass swiftly kicked out. While I'm more than sure China doesn't want a war with the US, I don't think they'd want to look weak either. I doubt it'd result in WW3 though.

Not long now folks, hope your all within 3 minutes reach of a Nuclear bunker...
Soldato
... but what will happen to their closed intranet and Red Star OS? That's what I'm worried about 
Soldato
Pfft. There's nothing worth nuking within a 5kt blast radius of my home

Well this is awesome for USA because this is probably the only war their having that they will win!
Soldato
Well....as long as I have time to get to Box Tunnels, I'm happy

Surely that would happen anywhere then.
So, what you basically saying, is that the multi-million dollar US stealth aircraft program has been defeated by Twitter?

Interesting map/chart Duff-Man. Didn't realise that many nukes have been dropped, I was mainly aware of the 2 that were dropped in Japan during WWII. I worked out that I could just about survive a 16 kt bomb if one was dropped in the middle of Stafford!

It was hardly an operation with secrecy at the core. The US was not intending to be subtle - the idea was to send a clear message to the North Koreans. It isn't rocket science...

That was before China became the manufacturing workhorse for the west though. China is not going to risk losing its biggest customers over this.

No? Unless you are hiding Tweet-guided AA weapons?
What I am saying is the multi-million US stealth aircraft program has produced aircraft able to safely whizz around NK. Seeing a B2 and shooting it down (which has never been done) are very different things.
Soldato
The B2 can fly at over 50,000 feet, is virtually invisible to radar, and carries some of the most sophisticated bomb-targeting suites of any aircraft.
When you fly your B2s at low altitude, during in the day, over a heavily populated area with thousands of watching camera phones, you aren't aiming for stealth or subtlety
waves bye bye at everyone and goes off somewhere to hide head between legs and hold breath for a while, just incase 
gas alert, and no i haven't let one off
ah well, gives the usa something to do, world police likes to go around doing things nobody asked them to do, what would china do if they sent a b2 bomber over there air space?
both sides are idiots, just one is bigger than the other and has more toys to throw out of the pram, with a bigger budget to buy more toys as well

Just to be clear... The US did not fly a B2 over North Korean air space. They sent them over South Korean airspace, to drop a dummy bomb on a target in South Korea, as part of the joint South Korean-US training program that happens annually.
I'm not generally one to defend the US... Some of their foreign policies and actions (particularly in the Middle East) are terrible. But North Korea is publicly threatening the US with nuclear annihilation on a daily basis. It's hard to paint them as the aggressor in these circumstances. Until very recently the unofficial US policy has been to simply ignore North Korea wherever possible.
