It is very unwise to get into a cyber war with North korea


As they are retty much invulnerable

You shut down all of the internet in North korea is like shutting down the internet in 1960s UK


It ain't going to have that much effect

This is probably exactly what Kim is seeing as he tries desperately to fap to hentai.

IIRC Switzerland does have gunboats on some of the lakes.

Warning; contains Daily Wail clickbait. This guy thinks we really should worry about North Korea, and cyberloons generally; the problem with his terrible pulp fiction bks plot is that little of it is plausible, particularly the nonsense about nuclear power stations and NATS, neither of which are terribly dependent on the internet for safety backups. As for a V-boat's clockwork computer systems being stymied by Kim Wrong Un. scratchchin

Why can't the yankee dudes just ignore it all, so many of their citizens make fun of the Obamas and all Presidents. It is the North Koreans who do not ignore it.

Are they really slinging around childish racists comments or is this just a deliberate bad translation for western public consumption propaganda? We have the phrase cheeky monkey for instance, it isn't racist, are they just saying Obama is a mischief maker, and it's being translated as 'dirty half-cast banana eating tree-swinging etc. etc.'.... Who do you trust - half the time I think our leaders are just as dishonest/nuts/repressive as NK's?

What's the point of that? It's just the product of puerile nut jobs.

It doesn't answer the question - can we trust the translations we get fed?
