all this and look at what America are up to since 2001 even ffs!! They are causing most of the unrest in the world to begin with. the amount of local and national interference even the embassies stir up worldwide is just crazy and that's before ya look at the CIA and other agencies black ops.

But this thread is not about other US polices, just Korea. America has not caused the unrest in North Korea. The "great" leader did..

Unless South Korea agrees, US intervention won't actually happen. And South Korea are more than happy to have US support and allow the US to conduct military exercise on their soil. Deterrence if you will.

America is causing most of the unrest in the world? Don't make me laugh.
The only possible way that you could believe that America is behind most of the world's unrest is if you have very little idea of exactly how much unrest is actually in the world at present. There's plenty of 'unsexy' wars out there too, you know.

America aren't the only ones able to do propaganda except it's real hard to call it that when there's so much truth in it

I said i'd only watch a 10 or 15 minutes of this the other night and couldn't turn it off after that.

I don't know. I occasionally in the past near wept at the idiocy and lack of intelligence displayed by some Americans I encounter. Nice to see that it exists on the other side of the water too

Seriously OP ?

N. Korea are clearly the bad guys here. Do you tend to support communist dictatorships that threaten nuclear war?
Or are you just another rabid anti american nutjob that gives legitimate anti war protestors a bad name

Do yourself a favour and pick another fight. It was the 10 year anniversary of the dodgy Iraq war why not yap about that. Get some of that anti america bias off your chest

North Korea has over one million men in uniform versus 650,000 in the ROK, plus 43,000 US men and women in Korea.
Both North Korea and the ROK possess very large reserves. The North Korean army

fields 30 divisions and 3500 tanks versus 21 ROK divisions and one US division
operating a total of about 1500 tanks. The North Koreans defend their skies with

over 8000 anti-aircraft artillery (AAA) guns, while the US and ROK forces have


about 600 AA pieces. The North Korean Air Force (NKAF) operates about 750

fighters and attack jets, while the ROK Air Force (ROKAF) has 480 jets, and the
USA adds another 72 fighter and attack aircraft in the ROK. In addition, USAF
and USNC fighter squadrons from Japan and Naval fighter squadrons from the USS
Independence or another Seventh Fleet carrier battle group may reinforce Korea


on short notice with about 100 additional aircraft.' Additional reinforcing

fighter and attack aircraft will deploy from the continental US, but due to the
vast distances in the Pacific, it will take these units several days to reach the


Korean theater of operations. North Korean ground forces are deployed well

forward and could launch offensive operations across the DNZ with as little as
one day's warning

None of the people in that video from the telegraph website look particularly enthusiastic.

I don't think it'd be like Japan and Hirohito. I reckon that the army would collapse fairly quickly for the most part. There'd always be a contingent of diehard crazies but I reckon most of them act in fear as opposed to truly believing in their glorious leader.

They are sending support for lieutenant pacman. The state of it.

From RTÉ today:


North Korea has put its missile units on standby to attack US military bases in South Korea and the Pacific.

The threat came after the US flew two nuclear-capable stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula in a rare show of force.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed off on the order at a meeting of top generals and "judged the time has come to settle accounts with the US imperialists in view of the prevailing situation", the official KCNA news agency said.

South Korea's Defence Ministry Spokesman Kim Min-seok also confirmed the meeting.

He said: "There was a report that at dawn today that North Korea's Kim Jong-un called an emergency military meeting and ordered missile units to standby.

"We see this as a continuing measure, after its army's supreme commander's announcement on 26 March that its army will take combat duty posture No 1."

The North has an arsenal of Soviet-era short-range Scud missiles that can hit South Korea and have been proven.

However, its longer-range Nodong and Musudan missiles that could in theory hit US Pacific bases are untested.

Mr Kim said that South Korea continues to monitor North Korean activities.

"This is seen as an extra measure in regards to its missiles. South Korean and US intelligence personnel are closely monitoring North Korea's readiness with its short, middle and long-range missiles such as Scud missile, Rodong missile and Musudan missile," he said.

The US yesterday flew two radar-evading B-2 Spirit bombers on practice runs over South Korea, responding to a series of North Korean threats.

They flew from the US and back in what appeared to be the first exercise of its kind, designed to show its ability to conduct long-range, precision strikes "quickly and at will", the US military said.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported there had been additional troop and vehicle movements at the North's mid and long-range missile sites, indicating they may be ready to fire.

It was impossible to verify the report, which did not specify a time frame, although South Korea's Defence Ministry said that it was watching shorter-range Scud missile sites, as well as Nodong and Musudan missile batteries.

Russia said that heightened military activity near North Korea was slipping into a "vicious cycle" that could get out of control.

Foreign Ministry Sergei Lavrov suggested that North Korea should cool down, calling on "all sides not to flex their military muscle" and avoid the danger of a belligerent response.

Russia supported new UN Security Council sanctions North Korea in early March, but Moscow has criticised actions taken outside the council, including US and South Korean military drills.

As part of an annual event .... that they do every year at this time apparently.

'The US - which flew two stealth bombers over the peninsula on Thursday as part of the ongoing annual US-South Korea military drills - has said it is ready for "any eventuality" on the peninsula.'

I don't think that's fair to describe this test flight as bully boy tactics. North Korea has issued numerous threats in recent days and weeks including threatening to launch a nuclear attack on the United States mainland. The US is trying to approach the situation calmly while showing it can defend itself. If you want to see bully boy tactics, just look at China who are encroaching into the territorial waters of numerous other nations and using navy and airforce to bully their neighbours into backing down. Now I'm not defending past US actions in any way but in this case I think they're in the right.

This! G Power, do you share the concern with regard to China's attempt to steal the maritime territory of all its Southern neighbors, or is it just America you care to bash?
BTW this is their line of claim.

Do you consider this worthy of your ire?

Why should I be bothered? The South Korean people live under constant threat of obliteration from a series of madmen in North Korea. Only American superiority prevents them from being the warmongers they so dearly wish they could be. Why should any sane person have sympathy for the poor victims of the North Korean government?
