In case you haven’t been following the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (a.k.a. North Korea) lately … they’ve been feeling a bit froggy.
In fact the peninsular nation – which just conducted another successful nuclear test – has threatened the United States with a preemptive nuclear attack, the very definition of “fightin’ words.”
Since then both American and North Korean military have been showing some teeth. This week, a pair of nuclear capable U.S. B-2 bombers participated in a drill with the Republic of Korea (a.k.a. South Korea) in which munitions were dropped on a South Korean island.
The message to North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un?
We have stealth bombers capable of unloading nuclear payloads on your head whenever we feel like it.
That’s a pretty compelling messages … and one worth sending, in our opinion.
Meanwhile earlier this week North Korea’s state-run media released a photograph of its troops conducting a recent hovercraft landing exercise. The only problem? According to The Atlantic, several of the hovercrafts appear to have been photoshopped into the picture.
Take a look …

Ha!
While America’s military hasn’t had to resort to Photoshop (at least not yet), it’s having its fair share of problems. Both the F-35 and Littoral Combat Ship programs are facing serious cost overruns as well as major functionality issues.
Of course that’s not stopping certain “Republicans” in Congress from condemning modest reductions in military spending as “unpatriotic.”

Ole Sic Willie pitches a googly here. Starts off with a well thought out condemnation of N. Korea and then curves into his real purposes, another attack on the Pentagon.
Why do we need to act like the Cold War still going on(which was overkill in the first place) with idiots we could take down with slingshots?
I will gladly hand you a slingshot if you are willing to cross the DMZ.
And I will hand him a few Photoshopped satchel charges, grenades, and rattly sabres. Them North Koreans are snakes-in-the-head-bimbo crazy. I wonder if they’ll surrender in a hurry if we get out the flamethrowers.

The dreaded hovercraft! Oh noes!
North Korea has a huge army numbers-wise, but they would be absolutely slaughtered technology-wise. Too bad photoshopped missiles and vehicles don’t actually fight your battles for you.

im not sure if there trying to scare us ir what if there really goin to do something they would of done i think but if they bomb us were in trouble we have no clue what they have been working on so the obama might need to take this a lilttle more serious.

So the United States and South Korea conduct joint military exercises a short distance from the North Korean border, and we expect they do nothing? Imagine if the Chinese or Russians conducted a joint military operation with Mexico 60 miles from the Texas border. How would we react?
North Korea is a bad place, led by a bad man, but the idea that they are going to preemptively strike the United States, and are therefore a threat to national security, is as preposterous as it gets.
Thank you Neville Chamberlain. Do have a piece of paper in your hand?
You’re welcome Bill Kristol. There is never a war or military spending you don’t shill for on here.
First, North Korea has no ICBM’s or weapons systems capable of propelling any rocket or missile 3,000 miles to America’s shores. Even if they did, what the hell have we spent billions on missile defense systems for? In short, they are no threat to us, period.
For neoconservatives such as yourself, the definition of “us” is where it gets tricky. You see by “us”, I mean my fellow countrymen. The neoconservative definition of “us” is a bit more expansive. They would include South Korea and Japan in the definition of “us”, since they are our allies and “we have a duty to protect our allies and interests while spreading democracy and freedom throughout the world.” Sound about right?
The thing is, South Korea has the world’s 15th largest economy in terms of GDP and the world’s 12th largest economy in terms of PPP. Japan has the world’s 3rd largest economy by GDP and the world’s 4th largest economy in terms of PPP. Why in the hell should Americans, who already are $16 trillion in debt, subsidize the defense of two of the wealthiest nations on Earth?
These facts demonstrate that both South Korea and Japan economically can take care of their own defense, yet why don’t they? It’s because neoconservatives like yourself need fear. You need an enemy. You need a reason to continue the disgusting expenditures of taxpayer money that are merely subsidies to defense contractors and their subsidiaries. Without this fear, maybe people would start to question those who claim to be defending this country.
Funny how you call letting people take care of themselves appeasement. The fact is, people like yourself would rather see America go bankrupt, so long as the wars continue and those who fund the political class get rich off those wars, the blood of American soldiers and the blood of innocent civilians. You call me Neville Chamberlain, but folks like you should be called Benedict Arnold.
First, our exercise was after North Korea threatened to nuke the US following a new round of UN sanctions. You have it exactly backwards.
Second, there are thousands of American soldiers in South Korea. They do have technology to kill them with a nuclear strike. We also lots of marines and sailors in Japan.,
Frankly, the ROK Army could probably wipe the floor with these bums, but the N Koreans have proven capable of outrageous behavior when they have their back to the wall.
And we’ve had sanctions on them since 2009 for going nuclear. Sanctions are themselves acts of war, or at least make it much more likely war will take place. Not to mention, we’ve had periodic military exercises with the South Koreans since 9/11. But it is the sanctions which are the source of their bellicosity. Not only do they hurt the North Korean people, but the government uses the sanctions as a tool for propaganda to further harden their citizens’ fears and distrust of America.
As for missiles, the longest range missile the North Koreans have is the Taepodong 1, which can travel a maximum distance of about 1500 miles. Sure it may be able to hit our troops in South Korea and Japan, but in my opinion, we should not have troops in South Korea or Japan. Let them pay for their own defense.
The fact is, going to war or even posturing for war with North Korea is ridiculous. Kim Jong Un is secular ruler who was educated in Switzerland. He is not governed by any fatalistic or suicidal ideology. In that respect North Korea ever intiating a nuclear strike is far less likely than say Pakistan, a nation that gets billions of dollars in aid from us.
Kim Jong Un is evil, but he is still is guided by his own political survival. He knows that launching a missile at the U.S. signs his death warrant. He knows invading the South signs his own death warrant. There is a reason we have thousands of diplomats in the State Department. We should start trying to use them.
and if you are wrong, what’s your fall back position?
The various missile defense systems we have spent trillions on sent the 1960’s. Or perhaps the lost art of diplomacy.
Pre-emptive war is wrong and immoral. It makes the invading nation an aggressor, not to combat an imminent threat, but to possibly avert some future, abstract threat. Pre-emptive war ignores one of the founding principles of Western civilization: the Just War Theory. It turns
And what is your alternative, start a war that could likely result in the deaths of millions of Americans, Koreans, Japanese, or Chinese and will likely push us further into banruptcy, all because the North Korean leader has issued threats to us in state newspapers and television?
pre-emptive is your words/thoughts. At what point did I use them? Your preference is to test missile defense systems after enemy missiles are in route to the US. I would prefer to not see them launched. Your reliance on “diplomacy” assumes that the parties are honest and sincere. You know, like Hitler, Uncle Joe, etc. Diplomacy is in reality a delay tactic to give you time to put your real solution into action.
JC is right. We could be spending far less than what we currently spend on defending Japan and South Korea and still be able to offer assistance if need be. Maybe Japan/SK needs to beef up a little and invest in their own missile defense technology?
I know that having our troops in Japan and South Korea has been the source of some controversy in those countries, namely from incidents involving our troops perpetrating some wrongdoing or another and getting whisked away with little to no punishment for it. I’m sure a lot of the citizens there appreciate our help and want us to provide backup if things got hairy, but there’s a large portion of people who want us to be less involved too.
Nobody wants to see SK or Japan nuked by a suicidal, oppressive third-world regime, but we have a much larger presence in foreign countries than should be warranted. Fear is a big factor in pumping more tax dollars into the military industrial complex, tax dollars that could be better spent, tax dollars we don’t even have. We need to let our allies shoulder a bigger portion of the burden we are carrying for them at the very least.
We aren’t the world’s police and we will go broke trying to be.
Correct,but most people don’t realize that the US is no longer a ‘superpower’,although we still pretend.It’s too bad uber-liberal,Richard Nixon isn’t around to handle this one…
You still have not said whether you have the piece of paper or not.
When did/has the US declared war on North Korea? If there is to be a conflict of some sort with North Korea, where do you prefer it to occur?
I suppose it is solace to those who lost loved ones in 9/11 that the perpetrators came from countries without ” ICBM’s or weapons systems capable of propelling any rocket or missile 3,000 miles to America’s shores”.
For what it’s worth, didn’t North Korea start rattling its sabres months, or at least weeks, ago? I see the US and South Korean exercises as a response and a reminder to the North, not as an act in a vacuum that has not elicited a response from the North Koreans.
(For the record, I am not a neocon or a hawk of any sort. I am all for as little military action as possible in any situation. However, I don’t want some psychotic slant firing off rockets toward my country)
Lets see, since North Korea lacks the ability to attack the US, you’re sort of right – however, on 24 June 1950, MacArthur’s staff would have agreed with you that the possibility that North Korea would attack the South was preposterous.
South Korea is an ally, we kind of need to support our allies, they’re getting fewer and fewer all the time…
The North Koreans attacked the U.S. and the South on the Korean Peninsula, because our provisional government and military were there. They never attacked the U.S.
Moreso, at that time, prominent conservatives like Robert Taft and Howard Buffett were outraged that war was being waged without a proper congressional declaration. There was a time when conservatives understood that limited government at home and empire abroad are absolutely incompatible.
Actually the North Koreans attacked precisely because there were almost no Americans on the peninsula at the time. The US and the Soviet Union had withdrawn from the peninsula throughout the late 40s. In early 50, Kim Il-sung traveled back and forth from China to the USSR garnering support for his planned invasion of the South. The USSR did much of the planning for the initial attack and could rightfully be credited for the initial success of the KPA.
IDK, I’m very afraid of their photoshop technology…I say “bombs away”. We need another war to distract us from fact China & Brazil just dropped the dollar in trade between them.
So the United States and South Korea conduct joint military exercises a short distance from the North Korean border, and we expect they do nothing? Imagine if the Chinese or Russians conducted a joint military operation with Mexico 60 miles from the Texas border. How would we react?

Just in from Reuters::
Kim Jong-Un (supreme leader of North Korea) is reported to be in hiding at an undisclosed nuclear bunker after receiving reports of the B-2 sighting in South Korea.
It appears that he has mistaken the US stealth bombers for the professional wrestler
“B-2 ” (Barry Buchanan, also known as ” Punisher” “Recon”, and “Bull”) .
Mr. Buchanan, who is 6′ 7″ and 296 lbs, is extremely intimidating and takes no crap from any punks.
Kim Jong-Un states that he fears nothing except a red-blooded Southerner with a grudge, and that he will make a public appearance when the danger is gone. His last words before entering the bunker were, “Why me? And what is a punk?”

Behold the North Korean threat. Note the double chins and 40 year old telephones in the command and control center.

So in your vast military experience there is no threat? You have, of course, seen and read all the intelligence reports in the possession of the National Security Council, correct?
China cut off their electricity in 2009. They are testing nukes and missiles from another country. If Sec of State Clinton, Kerry, and President Obama think Egypt and Syria is our main threat thus our indirect military involvement, who am I to disagree. Sec of State Clinton ignored the 2009 nuclear bomb test and followup missile tests, The Democrats are not concerned, neither should you be. Relax, your government is working for your vote. Besides, if Ed Shultz and Chris Matthews do not report the threats…they must know something. Right?
Ha! Great catch on the phones. At least they don’t have to worry about wireless encryption.

We seem to be forgetting one thing. No one really knows what North Korea possesses weapons wise. No one really believed what Hitler was up to between 1933 and 1939 either until it jumped up and bit them on 1 September 1939. Just take care, it might just seem like beligerant rhetoric now, but who knows what this dangerous little fat man has up his sleve.
Hitler had a war machine capable of actually being a threat, technology that rivaled (if not topped) what other nations had, the expertise to effectively deploy their technology and manpower, and the proximity to strike enemy nations with ease.
Kim Jong-un is a fat kid struggling to maintain power over a nation with a million man army, armed with craptastic weaponry and outdated, often broken technology, military leaders who have to be watched closely to avoid a coup, and a proximity that only allows them to have a guaranteed shot at South Korea. Sure, they could fire nukes at Japan, but it is honestly questionable if the rockets would actually even successfully cross the ocean as demonstrated by earlier missile tests of theirs. Even if they bought an ICBM from someone that wasn’t a dud, our interceptor missiles would shoot it out of the sky long before it would reach us.
North Korea holds absolutely no threat to us. Japan and South Korea should have their own defense systems in place that they fund, and there’s no reason it shouldn’t be about as on-par with stuff we have considering their economic strength and technological advancements. It is arguable how much help we should give them via selling/sharing technology (you never know who is on who’s side 50-100 years from now) but reducing our presence is not a bad idea.
If it came down to rushing to SK/Japan’s aid, we likely could wipe out DPRK with missiles launched miles away via the Navy, and if we can peel enough drones away from blowing up children and civilians in Pakistan, annihilate all manners of military targets with umanned aircraft. North Korea is stuck in the 50’s, if that. It would be akin to a moth getting hit by a freight train for us to step in with technology alone, saving thousands upon thousands of our own soldiers, and likely, South Korea’s. It wouldn’t even require a significant portion of our Navy.
Let fatty try. I’m sure the oppressed citizens in the rapidly-expanding gulags would welcome the swift end to their tyranny.

The reductions in military spending are effecting the troops such as cutting tuition assistance for active duty members and turning their healthcare (tricare) into the obamacare category in which congress is exempt from. Instead of pointing fingers are the people trying to prevent these problems point the finger at the idiots that won’t actually make the right cuts. Such as these stupid add ons that they put on bills so the senators state can get money for it.
