they still trade with other countries, so they have access to modern computers. Just because they can't build something doesn't mean they don't have it.Nonsense. As soon as those "SF" units got across the border, they'd defect. NK is practically using vacuum tube computers and its military is malnourished, spare me the leet ninjas BS.
They wouldn't even know how to use the phones they encountered, let alone complex equipment. 200k NKs with the ability to operate modern electronics would be a threat to his regime. It's so ridiculous. "I got 200k loyal super-ninjas!" And you believe it? haha
The only real threats are the arty and self-nuking.
Sony made a huge blunder by caving-now anytime they want something they will threaten to blow up an American movie theater. Its an act of war, either on us or Japan.
This isn't the word of the NK regime, this is from defense analysts.
Why are you being so obtuse?
Tunnels have been found, NK SF have infiltrated South Korean shores in the past and not defected.
Intelligence all suggests that this threat is real.
You're the one saying they're "ninjas".
I'm saying they're special forces that in the event of war will be given the order to infiltrate behind the front lines and cause as much havoc as they can possibly get away with... is that so far fetched?
So hackers outside America target a japanese company's american film division separate of the U.S. government over a film depicting their leader being assassinated and that's somehow Obamas fault...
Do you guys even try to make sense anymore?
Go back and read my thread starts-Im well aware of the routine, but this cyber warfare is new, and they are emboldened by our weak leader. They probably see what happened in Cuba as evidence our chump potus will cave.
The US could probably wipe out NK's nukes, leadership and artillery overnight.
Has Obama responded to this yet? What if it was the Pentagon they hacked into? Or our electrical grid? I sure hope there is something going on behind the scenes that will make them think twice about attacking our networks again. I just don't think anything will be done.
It's a terrifying prospect.
Essentially even as nutty as they are... one would hope even Kim Jong Un and his miniors would recognize the limited capability they truly have.
Alot of projections put their strike strategy at crashing the border with large scale tank and infantry pushes that'll be quickly crushed by air power.
The only thing that's of true concern is the following.
1) Artillery aimed at Seoul, regardless of how efficient air power is, it's going to take time to take down those batteries, meanwhile alot of people are going to die.
2) and most important of all, North Korea is alleged to have about 200, 000 special forces.
Intelligence suggests that in the event of a war these 200, 000 would infiltrate the ROK via small boats, tunnels and air.
They are alleged to have ROK uniforms and will than dedicate themselves to causing the most havoc possible, attacking air bases, hospitals, schools, grocery stores, government buildings and just generally ****ing up the entire back line.
(2) is of most concern. Every credible strategy and policy paper brings up this issue as the biggest reason why in the beginning of hostilities the North could cause real issues and may even initially gain serious ground.
North Korea's military would probably just scatter, once out of Pyongyang's control.
Wouldn't be soon enough to save the South or many of our troopz on the DMZ.
It's possible, but what we really worry about is the initial assault.
North Korea will almost always have to pull the trigger first.
Again virtually every analyst out there predicts a ROK/USA victory, but at an initial heavy cost.
Well I have to agree war is never the best option. The goal should always be to avoid war. Certainly I wasnt insinuating that the possible scattering of military would warrant starting a war.
That being said, I do think that the world should not allow such regimes to exist. http://www.newsweek.com/un-security-council-debate-north-korea-human-rights-293803
Considering that none of that has happened (yet), I'd say we (the U.S. government) need not respond too forcefully just yet. It's a private enterprise problem at this point. Sony Pictures (U.S.) simply needs to grow a pair, release the movie even if all they do is make it available on CD, strengthen their network security and move on about their business of doing business (among doing some damage control).
At this point, it's really not necessary for the government to get too directly involved here.
What would be the fallout of a surgical removal of the palace or the missile silos be?
Oh yea. The DPRK never made these threats before Obama :roll: ****ing hack posts are hack posts.
When was the last time NK threatened the US after hacking into our movie industry? Face it-its news.
It would be if we struck preemptively.
This is a lot to take out in a short span.
Defense.gov News Article: North Korean Military 'Very Credible Conventional Force'
The word I heard from reliable sources is that NK wakes up everyday fearing an attack from the US. They will be ready to counter attack.We have many cruise missiles and stealth bombers. And Saddam supposedly had a credible force.

ask SK if they fear an attack from the North.
I think when a foreign government attacks a US entity, especially by hacking into their computers, that's a big problem. Our government has a duty to respond to that.
:lamo First off the DPRK did not "threaten to hack into our movie industry", they "threatened to strike the USA". Did you even read your article you posted?
Second off the North Korea has always made threats, not just under Obama as POTUS.
Basic literacy-its not just for non-marxists anymore.
