    If they test another nuclear missile it is then a declaration of war.
    The declaration of war was at dawn on 25th June 1950. Please try to keep up.

    Also their is a possibility that China will support North Korea in a conflict.

    Any 'support' for North Korea from China will be more a pretext to annex it rather than actually supporting its fight against the South and the US.

    Everybody talking about NK having nuclear weapons. I just don't get it, what reason do NK have to nuke anyone. There threats are surely just propaganda for the puppets that follow him. Fuss over nothing. Leave him implode from within with further sanctions. The latest one from China by turning away their coal could be a game changer.

    Nuclear weaponry is a great way of leveraging foreign assistance. It would be one thing if the nuclear weaponry was limited to deployment in the event of a foreign invasion, but this is a tinpot dictatorship and what greater way of extracting money from your neighbours than threatening to destroy them.

    Big poker game so, I suppose who wants to call NK's bluff is the question. He must know any provocation will result in his death, there is mad then there is suicidal, I somehow doubt it is the latter.

    When you're the third of a line of people who can do no wrong, who have infinite wisdom, whose every utterance is written down.. you get to believe the myth yourself.... Its not suicidal, its delusional... and just as dangerous.

    This is the guy (or maybe it was his father) who scored a hole in one on his first attempt at golf... at every hole!! :)

    He single handedly won the last FIFA world cup smashing goal scoring records according to NK media

    Yeah spot on.

    When you start to believe Your Own cult of personality, you become convinced you can do no wrong.

    Or maybe it was like the Philippines president Duterte who promised during the election to jet ski out to one of the islands claimed by both his country and China if China did not hand it over.

    When asked recently by reporters if he was going to keep his promise and jet ski out to it, his reply was..."Were you fools stupid enough to believe me when I said that!" :D

    the US will certainly take the bait, the fake long range missiles are the same bait as Saddam's supposedly at the time fully functional supergun, nothing has changed, just a new dummy in the white house who will be told what to do, the other dummy in downing street is isolated globally and will tag along as she needs the other dummy as a friend, sigh get ready for the nuclear fallout in the chernobylesque rain showers :( folks

    I thought the parade was very impressive...lots of orderly disciplined well coordinated and fit looking people and some nice military kit :cool:.
    I would like to see Ireland try to match any of that...best we can hope for here is a few dopes waddling about :D

    I had thought from most of the posters on here that it would be an endless procession of starved dressed in rags poor wretches carrying stone tipped spears dragging themselves down the street :rolleyes:.

    Mr Kim would like you to know that he has locked himself in a room full of easter eggs and does not intend to emerge until they are all gone. This will probably result in him having a tummy ache til Wednesday so all nuclear tests are on hold til then.

    It's been tomorrow in NK already for several hours. The special day was yesterday, the party's over.

    Testing (missiles & Trump's patience) will happen another day, sometime soon.
