If the koreans launch a missle at the u.s or japan this will be a diaster and i want some opinions if you think theyll launch it keep it or launch at u.s or japan or anything else reply plz
Alt always calls in the artillery. Anyway, what is your opinion alt?
*calls in artillery*
I've stated it rather succinctly and sarcastically, but here's my srs biznis opinion:
NK is a small threat to countries around it- it has a large military. It's poverty, however, will hinder it if it wants to got Rambo and try to take over countries like Germany did. The USA is under no threat from nukes- we have I think five layers of missile defense, and their nuclear system is in bad condition. Japan is threatened some, but also most likely won't be hit. There is an element of threat from NK, but not an incredible threat.
NK's best bet would probaly to play a defnensive war, by taking SK, then, since ther on a penisula, to try and hold off anybody coming down on them, and nuking them. Its what i would do in there situation, as penisulas only have one land entrance. dunno about NK's navy, but they could expect shelling, cruisemissles, etc
N. Korea has long range missles, but their tests have yet to yield a "successful" test. Their latest long range missle test in April impacted around 2400 miles from the launch site. As it stands now, people in the U.S. are for the most part safe from an attack from N. Korea.
id think id be more scared if they *wern't* aiming for me...

Okay I guess I don't quite get your meaning...do you mean in terms of starting some sort of war with other conuntries or triggering some sort of stand off?
Their nukes can barely make it to Japan let alone the U.S. anyway I guess that's what the tests are for... We are already telling Japan to prepare a military force just incase. I seriously doubt that if NK fires a nuke we'll fire ten in return as some people stated at the most 1 or 2 any more than that we are at risk of the radioactive fallout reaching SK. We'll probably just take it by force with the aid of the Japanese, SK, and the UK after all the nuking and whatnot .

If I remember correctly, a few months ago my history teacher said that their nukes could possibly reach Hawaii and parts of Alaska. He may have been talking about a different rocket than they were using though.
Perhaps... If our scientists would hurry up and develop an N-Bomb, we could launch a barrage of them over and not have to worry about SK... If this whole thing occurs before then, the US would only fire one/two... Honestly, after you knock out Pyongyang, there's not much left to shoot at... Sure, we could turn their country to glass if we wanted to, but I don't think that it would be wise because of SK... We have a massive naval fleet that is more than capable of continental bombardment... Our battleships would launch salvo after salvo and after a day, carriers would unload their bombers. As soon as the preliminary bombing is complete, the Nighthawks and B-2's would come in and finish the job with some MOAB's. Once that was done, troops from Japan, the US, UK, and possibly Germany/France/Australia/Canada/New Zealand... Sure they have a big army, but facing off with the most advanced armies in the world would spell their doom quite fast. And of course, they could try to nuke America, but we have defense systems (and we are out of their range...)
What I just don't understand is how NK intends to rule the world... Their people are starving, and yet they are loyal to Kim Jong... They could never win. Unless they had the unanimous support of the East, they wouldn't stand a chance. If they involved China, it would probably lose its position on the Security Council at which point the UN could declare the East to be rogue nations and thus declare all methods of war (minus gas and the like) against them would be permissible as they are threats to international security...

They have a huge army for a country their size, but their navy is rather small. They could invade SK and then threaten its existence, but the US would likely have anti-nuke planes overhead to take them out before they leveled Seoul...
Peninsulas are defensible from armies but not navies... UK is an island and in WWII had no threat of invasion, but naval bombardment from Germany was a severe threat... In short, they would not last long against the US and UK's navies...
