I've heard sarcasm is quite effective.

Whilst captain yank is precision bombing the north's "neuclear" facilities, Seoul is on the receiving end of 500,000 rounds of artillery rounds an hour including chemical and biological warheads, so perhaps not such a smart idea!!
Where did you get 500,000 rph from? Sounds a bit optimistic on the North Koreans side.

5.3-magnitude "artificial earthquake" detected near North Korea's main nuclear site
Tremor was nuclear test, South Korea says
Nuclear test was country's fifth and "most powerful" to date
Explosion was twice as powerful as January test
Suspected test comes on 68th anniversary of founding of North Korean regime
South Korea condemns Kim Jong-un for "maniacal recklessness"
Are we sure this wasn't simply the fat little maniac letting one rip after breakfast pies?

China, our new friends, still buys sh*t loads of cheap coal from NK, which, according to the BBC correspondent, is one of the outstanding 'loop holes' in the existing UN trade sanctions against the north.

In other words, China is flouting the UN sanctions while expressing outrage at the nuke testing.

Two faced fkers.

Oh, and they are extremely upset about the US positioning it's antimissile system in South Korea.

Like I said - a face for every day of the week.

they still have a very formidable air defense + bunch of very capable fighters, while US planes are significantly more advanced don't forget Norks are playing on the home turf and they always have the option to retaliate on Seoul

Just like the UK with Saudi Arabia and the recent arms report which MPs are trying to bury?

China doesn't want a United Korea that is allied to the US or the invariable refugee influx should the regime collapse.

NK wants a united Korea. Though their method relies on putting the boot in.

Most of South Korea doesn't want a united Korea either; the economic hit for re-educating 25 million drones, cleaning up the environmental mess and reconstructing the north's infrastructure to drag it out of the 1950s would be in the trillions. Even the corporates don't, they do well out of the crossborder work camps.

Do they?

I thought they had a couple of dozen MiG-29s and a pile of ancient 21s?
Pretty much, a friend of my dad is out there soon/now to watch an air show there. He's hoping to see various other rare old Russian bits.

Not so simple. That is a two way street. Most U.S. Debt is owned by the U.S. Not China.

Russia also has an unknown number of NK slaves working in their forestry operations and recently Vice did a piece showing there are NK slaves working in Polish shipyards, right in the EU.

Aye, they're working as sheep dogs in Wales, too. Bloody disgrace.

Where's the ejector seat handle on a MIG 29? Missed opportunity there.
