North Korea threatens US with a pre-emptive nuclear strike.

[Iraklis F.C.]

they are technically in war since the 50's afaik, they have only signed an armistice since then and thats all.

Its hilarious reading all this stuff..people getting so scared...and yet im chatting with my korean friends and talking about normal stuff and nobody is mentioning anything.

I really think people need to chill out on the media

Haven't they always been at war?

Yeah, technically the Korean war is still going on its just under a ceasefire/armistice agreement, right?

Work colleague has just spent 6 months in SK and that's very much the feeling she got.

I suppose when you live under a constant threat (some people their whole lives), you become used to it.

 

[Azza]

Haha have they basically said this because no one took any notice when they said they were ending the armistice the other day?!

1. In 'the picture', how come all the Generals have so many 'awards'? What have they done to earn those little flags?

2. Can't the US fly 15 or so fighter planes on their side around the perimeter of NK's airspace in a 'not touching, can't get mad' style?

They kind of already did that - including 2 B2s, which if you ask me is a more scary prospect than a few fighters.

They are all clearly old enough to have been part of the Korean War, so its likely they have pretty long military careers. I'd also add that its not really much different to our own country. I know some people love to lambaste the Royal Family for wearing awards that they didn't really earn.

Wot, no sneaky overnight ballastic missile attack?

Kim, you pussy.

North Korea in being absolutely bonkers shocker.

I saw the static B2 at Fairford RIAT last year. Awesome stuff.

I'm no expert, but the guy on the left is really good at knitting, flipping pancakes and foot rubs. The others represent how many people he killed after they insulted his chunky, modern knits.

Has anything happened yet?. Nope?. Wow!!!.

Well judging by the quality of your English in that post I think you'll be perfectly safe from ever getting called up or passing the most rudimentary of selection processes.
