"very hostile and dangerous' to US." Seems to me, 'US' is more a word - than the Initials of only one Country in the World
It's a cry for attention, and they (North Korea) are certainly achieving it. They need to be held more accountable for Otto Warmbier's death, and no travel to that country should be permitted whatsoever.
certainly north korea isnt the first country to test nukes underground shits been going on for over half a century
Defense Secretary Mattis said: http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-41140621 "Any threat to the United States or its territories - including Guam - or our allies will be met with a massive military response, a response both effective and overwhelming." However, he said the hope was for denuclearisation, "because we are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely North Korea".
One day hopefully they'll do another nuke and then the whole country will just implode on itself and fall into the abyss. I wouldn't lose and sleep over it.
That's kind of their MO: act like an asshole until real countries give them money to feed their populace. Or whatever it is they use that money for.
All they do is test. North Korea is like a theoretical physicist. They got all these ideas and research, but when it's all said and done they only have a few tests to go by. :d but, you know, theoretically they could use nukes, in theory. In reality? No,
I highly doubt they would fizzle off any useful nuclear materiel in a test. Id be more willing to bet. dismantled munitions, as they tend to age over time and become unstable. pack all that under a mountain and wallah. fake nuke .. the only thing this country has going for it, is foot soldiers and a few hundred cigar submarine < of which could be used in Kamikaze attacks on merchant and navy vessels .. The military has been taking satellite imaginary of this country for so long. google maps alone have shown unchanged, unmoved aircraft and artillery since google maps was available to public. ya cant just let aircraft sit over time. our jets, some built in the 1970s/ F15 are still active because they are serviced day in and out. Everything they have that needs to be taken out has been programed into computers. All it take is the go ahead .Allied forces will level everything in a very short period of time. Its not like they have a major production line of ICBMs. They make it, they shoot it. The end. Seoul may take some beatings from shelling .. wont last very long.. How will China deal with regime change and refugees ? All depends on how much Mcdonalds and Pizza Hut we can deliver to westernize the cabbage/potato eating mole people.. But for realz for realz.. We let them capture Major Frank Burns. The war is over in 20mins.
