Level of worry about our own safety?

Zero.

My dog is nervous about it.

donegal_road · 23-02-2013 10:14PM

dont worry, there is no oil in North Korea

Chuck Stone · 23-02-2013 10:14PM

Nuclear weapons are pretty useless except in defence. Not even N.K. is MAD (cwidt?) enuf to commit nuclear suicide.

Rayne Wooney · 23-02-2013 10:17PM

I think we should launch a pre-emptive strike, where does Enda keep the warheads?

Mahou · 23-02-2013 10:25PM

Sure don´t we all have iodine tablets unless you´ve smoked yours already.

Kim Yin Pong, or whatever luder they have running the show in N.Korea at the moment doesn't even know there is an "Ireland". If he does, he will imagine it's somwhere in Northern Britain. And even then, they're such a bunch of backward tosspots, they couldn't hit a camels hole at ten paces with a roundy stone. I'm more worried that Tesco will run out of cheap tins of beans, tbh, and I feckin hate beans..North Korea is like the rowdy, scrawny scumbag with a can of Dutch Gold down the back of the Luas - noisy, vaguely annoying, on the surface threatening, but really, just looking for attention. And a hug. Someone hug the short, fat little dictator, ffs.

Nth.Korea wishes Ireland a happy national day every year on Paddy's Day, and wasn't there something about some IRA guy caught over there to launder money - they know we exist, you don't get in there otherwise. I bet they can spell better and are less ignorant as well :rolleyes:

They are only making nukes so Amercia wont invade them. Its all about self preservation.

Lets say your Obama would you attack somewhere you know for sure has nukes?

:D:D Hi Kim!

Less ignorant??? Last time I checked, I forgot to feed the cat once last week. Auld Kimmy seems to have forgotten to feed a bit more than the cat lately. From me, N Korea can shove its "happy national day wishes" up its pyong yang.

Roger_007 · 23-02-2013 10:59PM

We need to resurrect the Skiberreen Eagle to keep an eye on North Korea now that Russia is no longer a threat.

You take that back :mad: He wanted to feed them but they gave all their food back to their Supreme Leader who has done some crazy shizz :eek:

Seriously though, I have read up on North Korea and you can only feel for the poor people. Having said that, Tallafornia has just come on tv and least they don't have to suffer that sh!te...

Killer Wench · 23-02-2013 11:05PM

Here I am sitting in the US. I looked at Yahoo, Huffington Post, CNN, and MSNBC and saw nothing on this story. There simply aren't many damns to give.

Especially when he pulls his stunt the day before the Oscars!!!!!

Strangely enough, I don't lie awake at night fretting about them. If Jung-Al-Kim-Wong-Chung decreed it, they'd be running up my driveway with bayonets fixed screaming "Opah Gangnam style".

And yes, I know Psy is a Southie, but sure what's a border between friends.

I would stay we should be very worried.

Just remember you have to chop off the heads of those zombies and burn the bodies.:D

Its True!
2012

Kim Yong Nam, president of the Presidium of the DPRK Supreme People's Assembly, Saturday sent a message of greeting to Micheal Higgins, president of Ireland, on the occasion of its national day.
Kim in the message wished the president success in his work for the prosperity of the country.

No thread About North Korea is Complete without The North Korea Funk...

Franticfrank · 27-02-2013 09:04AM

Verbal threats are all they have. And sure, even though they claim to have hundreds of artillery batteries targeting Seoul.,I think the South Korean military would crush the North Koreans in any conflict - as huge and ferocious as the North's army seems to be, most of its equipment dates from the 60s and 70s. Most important of all, the North Korean soldiers are probably already starving and surrender en-mass for the chance of food in the event of hostilities.

osarusan · 27-02-2013 09:07AM

A friend of mine went there on a heavily supervised touris visit. He got (or bought, I'm not sure) a Korean/English phrasebook.
Some of it was usual stuff, with phonetic Korean transliterations such as; how do you get to the station, how much is this book, etc, but some of it was hilarious; thank you for letting me experience this socialist paradise, I have been truly impressed by your education system and free press.

To answer the OP question, given my location, more than the average on this thread, but not as much as when I lived in Yokosuka, site of Japan's biggest naval fleet at the time, as well as the US Navy's biggest fleet outside USA.

But, contrary to what seems to be the opinion on here, I'd say that the North Korean leaders, through a combination of smart politics and a lack of any resources which make invasion attractive, have been canny enough survive for decades.

what are people opinions on this? is it all smoke with no fire or should we be buying bomb shelters?

there is a huge varience in the world wide news coverage of this at the moment which can perhaps be attributed to time difference i dont know....

just seems like this is the great threat to world peace at the moment.

Somewhere between not-at-all and entirely. Be in a constant state of calm terror.

rn · 27-02-2013 10:12AM

Simply put... we shouldn't be anywhere near as nervous as South Korea or Hawaii.

Don't be so sure they look ready to launch in under 45mins.

NegativeCreep · 29-03-2013 07:17PM

Someone better launch a fucking rocket somewhere or else I've wasted a fortune on my underground bunker. All well-endowed females welcome.

StinkyMunkey · 29-03-2013 07:18PM

Think two old women with hand bags, but the US has a bigger hand bag.

They won't attack the US, it's all bluster.
