North Korean Sabre Rattling 2013 We Nuclear Baby!

[Waraji]

I guess that was sort of the point I was trying to get it. But really is that a good enough excuse to warrant not advancing the technology, or coming up with something better in 50 years? Or does the old adage "If it isn't broken, don't fix it", apply here?

So I guess to reprhase:

I mean, that's still 20+ years behind. That's a lot in terms of military...isn't it?

It really depends on what military technology you're comparing. Air Superiority downright goes to 1st world powers. Frankly the only one that will really matter in any hypothetical war with NK where China/Russia doesn't intervene. Land infantry will not get anywhere with air & more modern GPS guided artillery impeding their progress.

I wouldn't venture to comment on any possible nuclear retaliation, considering the technology we have in swatting shit out of the air, ask Israel.

That's actually the biggest challenge facing NK (in regards to nukes, anyway), tbh. They (probably? was it ever really confirmed?) have nukes, but don't really have any delivery system. They could probably drop them out of a plane.... assuming they could keep it airborne through the hail of precision-guided missiles, lasers, and gauss rounds. They could put it in a truck, if they can keep the truck rolling through the hail of precision-guided missiles, depleted uranium slugs, and A-10s.

But beyond that.... Any self-guided delivery system capable of surviving hostile airspace would need to have pretty advanced electronics.

They could just put the nuke in a back pack.

I'm dead serious...

Have a guy sneak into south korea, walk into the middle of seoul and detonate it. 10's of thousands dead. HELL, north korea could even deny it was them.

I'm not sure man-portable nukes are a thing yet. Probably not at the tech level NK has, at any rate.

Dirty bomb, maybe.

Edit: I am reliably informed that they are a thing. Ruh-roh

Vice compares NK's space program to a PS4, drops the comparison after one paragraph in the middle of the article.

[Coren]

The article itself is interesting. He should have completely left out anything about PS4 though; it makes no sense.

When they're not hacking banks, they are send forced labor to Poland.

South Korea detected an artifical tremor in the North and it is believed that NK conducted it's fifth nuclear test.

This comes just days after launching 3 missile tests towards Japan

Apparently today is north korea's anniversary so I'm sure that's extra motivation for them to do stupid shit. Unfortunately, nobody here really seems to give a fuck. Koreans are just "meh" about the whole thing and I haven't even gotten a peep about it from top.

Only a 5.3. Even the fracking quakes in Oklahoma are stronger than that.

A woman who's been arrested in the assassination of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un's half-brother was seen on surveillance video wearing an "LOL" shirt.

It's just a prank, bro. Look, the camera is right there.

NK got a deal. The woman who delivered the toxin was paid $90. She was told it was baby oil and to smear it on his face for a reality show prank.

[chazzyphizzle]

likely story

[Niiro]

It was just a prank, bro.

[vagus]

With all the bs in America, this story is getting swept underneath the rug. Come on!

Ah the good old toxic baby oil on the face prank, classic

[chazzyphizzle]

apparently malaysian officials somehow know that they practiced the "prank" multiple times before the attack. also make sure you IMMEDIATELY wash your hands and DO NOT TOUCH the baby oil. just a prank tho
