last time i was in iraq we had a C-RAM that was supposed to detect and shoot down enemy mortar/artillery fire.

LOL ya rite we still got fucked.

at least it told us shit was inc a few seconds before we got hit.

You are comparing mortar fire to ICBMs... and you want me to believe for a second that you were in the military or even know a thing about it?

You are the one who made the thread, you should know that this entire news explosion about superior Corea is because they threatened U.S. soil. They've been threatening starcraft Corea and Japan every day for the past 60 years, the mainstream media's ears only perk up when superior Corea shouts to the world they have developed a new missile system.

Last I checked the patriot missile defense system had a 95% success rate in the second iraq war, and that was against SCUDs, compared to that an ICBM is a gigantic target.

ah i was more worried about them zerging the border and launching a barrage of artillery than some out of date missiles. i still got pals in s korea, both civilian and military, so i am concerned. the main point is, if they decide to go forward with any kind of attack, there will be a massive amount of casualties (mostly their side) which is no bueno.

[Kagatob]

That I can agree with.

I have reason to suspect though that we have an everwatching eye on that nation so any amount of mobilization to even prepare for an attack would be seen coming far ahead of time.

The only thing that worries me is that they are a frightened animal backed into a corner. They've lost the support of their one and only remaining advocate (China) and have nowhere else to turn to. Even a frightened mouse will strike at the jaws of a cat when cornered.

Pretty sure North Korea doesn't have ICBMs, having a missile that could reach us is a little beyond them atm. Also it's pretty easy to get an ICBM past a missile defense system all you have to do is create similar sized objects that travel through the atmosphere along side it, and are as far as I know indistinguishable to the defense system.

Also, noones made a bomb as big as tsar bomba since then so don't worry about that =P and since most nuclear weapons are fusion based nowadays theres very little fallout comparably, since theyre only triggered by fission.

The dudes that dropped tsar bomba nearly died from it. But yeah, most nuclear weapons not nearly that big and will be cleaner than the original two dropped in japan. They've also developed quite a lot of interesting new kinds of bombs to use beside the classic hydrogen bomb

There is a re balancing of forces in the pacific ocean happening right now. Most places are just getting back to pre-afghanistan/iraq levels. You are right that there is a shifting focus on Asia, but it isn't just for NKorea.

whew triple post, but yea, China flexing nuts and growing that navy. who knows whats gonna happen within the next 20 years
