Yeah that'll be why the US has stood by and done nothing whilst Pyongyang has continually thumbed their nose at them whilst developing an ICBM and nuclear weapons capability with help from their mates in Tehran.
They haven't done either of those things as far as I can tell. They haven't even managed to perfect lawnmowers, I wouldn't be too concerned.

I think mutually assured destruction is suddenly making a lot of sense, even if they get nukes it's unlikely they're stupid enough to use them, all bark etc.

His regime can't survive without his population living in constant fear of war.On a srs note I thought with the inauguration of the lovabley podgy little K-J-U with his love of basketball despite being small heralded a new era for Best-Korea politics, a coming-in-from-the-cold so to speak, unfortunately it turns out he is also an angrylittleman.

You need to read up on what the Americans have been developing.And please, enough with the Iran techno heroes. How is F14 development going these days? Gees.
Lets not even go down the Iraq/Afghan discussion as they are fighting terrorists at the end of the day, not sovereign forces. Since Vietnam, every sovereign force that's stood in the way of the military has been despatched pretty quickly.
Can you fit one in a shipping container?
Anyway. Some good old fashioned rhetoric.

Looks like Kim was watching some archery, DPRK women lead a worthwhile life being told what to do and they are going to kick the west's butt.

Let's just hope that this plan for sorting out NK doesn't have any implicit assumptions that the enemy fights the way they want them to fight then.So apart from Iraq and Afghanistan - which are these sovereign forces that have gone head to head against the US in a full on war and been "despatched pretty quickly" over the last 40 years ? Somalia perhaps - yeah, that ended really well too.
The superiority of US military technology isn't in question. But rolling out the shiney toys for 2 weeks shock and awe resulting in the capitulation of the sovereign government - after which the enemy retreats to the hills and regroups as "terrorists" and proceeds to conduct a successful guerilla campaign using 19th Century technology until the US gives up and goes home isn't victory.
It will be so in NK as well unless the US commits to a WW2 style ground war with associated casualty levels, which the US electorate doesn't have the stomach for - or uses the threatened or actual nuclear option, which due to the close proximity of their ally and protectorate SK, and of course to China, isn't an option.

Id hazard a guess that the US could obliterate every strategic NK base / milirary asset / missle silo without a moments notice with non-nuclear weaponry. I bet it wouldnt take more than a few days to cripple their miliary from the air without risking any life on their own side...Edited by Seight_Returns on Monday 11th March 13:52

I'd love them to come up with evidence of a direct threat on such a scale
The resolution today mentioned individuals who are subject to a travel ban and a freeze on assets, there must be some proper deals going on, what would they have been selling ?

Utterly bonkers.

How can that not be construed as an act of war?!
