North Korea threatens the US with nuclear attack

I wonder how many spies we have over there.

Jesus is Coming Soon! We are living on borrowed time.

I'd suspect it would be very hard to get spies in useful positions inside NK just the same as it would be hard to get them in groups like ISIS..

People join ISIS, they are born into NK and the NK defectors have been stacking up.

we need to be. it's a legitimate threat, these guys just sent a man to the sun, they could easily send a nuke over to US.

better be... what if it happens? will the US fire it's own? then what?

And they were smart about it! They went at night!

Yes but when those people defect, their families often end up in NK labor camps..

They do this every month. Nothing new here.

Time to send more canned food to him?

will he warn Dennis Rodman first?

shoot the mother fukers! always wanted to cook a pizza on the side walk

The world loves to ignore crazy Kim Jong-un, so every once in a while he rattles his sabre. He's a bigger media whore than Donald Trump and Kim Kardashian combined.

not scared

North Korea is a gem in the crown of US foreign policy LOL well done USA! 70 years of fuck up and counting, millions of dead as a result of the USA meddling in other countries affairs. Way to fuck up a country LOL

There are lots of spies in North Korea. However they are all from South Korea not the USA i am sure that is what you meant as you are aware they do not speak English. So they must also take spies from the same area that uses the same dialect as North Korea. Anyway, spies are caught all the time in the South.

The issue becomes how to get them in high ranking positions.
No one is trusted unless you are in the inner circle.

A spy can be any kind. It can be a North Korean ranked officer that wants to defect, but an American turns him into a spy instead. A spy does not have to be an American sent over and infiltrate that way.

I had no idea that Obama was also the Supreme leader of the Best Korea..

Yeah, that could happen a bit now that there is some limited internet there.
However 99.99% of people do not have any free access to internet there all traffic is monitored. There is almost no way to communicate with anyone inside of North Korea.

I guess people who are sent as diplomats or other such things could be turned though.

America is so powerful that we have caused every gross global issue in the past 250 years. Didn't you know that?

He's BSing the sheople.

I always wonder why troops follow the commands of these despots, while their families suffer. Are they that cut off from the rest of the world?

No shit. Trying very hard to upset people, but more tedious than anything else.

This happens in Sweden right now. Students get evicted from their apartments just to make room for immigrants. And due to safety reasons Swedes are no longer allowed to use the kitchen they used to share. What kind of safety reasons? They´re counting on the immigrants to start fights? I bet they're right about that.

Some of the Swedes have been offered apartments in another building but the standard isn't as good as in the apartments they live now. Why not place the immigrants there, the Swedes already live in their apartments?
This is really fucked up.

N.Korea "Made by USA"

Cant wash your countries hands from what it did: a 70 year fuck up.

They would have been just another commie country if the USA did not decide that asian farmers needed US corporate democracy ect...

Its funny how the USA is never ever responsible for anything in its own eyes LOL

A small, mountainous country at war with the United States since Truman was in the White House has endured only by becoming the proverbial porcupine. The cost of any decisive military adventure against North Korea by the United States is so immense that that no US administration would dare to do so without incredible provocation, like the vaporization of the 30,000 US soldiers we station there. The value of our troops is mainly as a tripwire to deter the North from going south. (We've recently re-deployed most of the troop far away from the Seoul area to Camp Humphrey way south to give that tripwire a bit more flexibility against any border area incidents.)

They are dug in so deeply and extensively that even a nuclear strike from the US would have sharply limited military success. In conventional munitions, tanks, artillery, and the like, they near the top of the list. They have more than seventy diesel subs, enough to complicate any US attack for awhile and to get some licks in. They've worked overtime on land to sea missiles and claim that they can overpower the defenses of US aircraft carriers and sink them. The US knows that in the first days of any conflict with Russia, the carriers would be gone in days; the risk presented by Korean missiles is untested, but presenting the risk is probably enough to affect the deployment of carrier groups.

Their nuclear weapons are part of the porcupine strategy. With the US as an adversary, they'd be nuts not to have them and the ability to use them; though we've withdrawn land-based nukes from South Korea, we can deliver them from bombers, unmanned drones, submarines, and surface ships on very, very short order. The North Koreans can sleep a bit more soundly knowing that their small nuclear arsenal has some deterrent effect against a US nuclear strike, and that's most effective if the US believes that they have the potential of retaliation against a first US strike.

My thought is that everything the North Koreans do can be explained by remembering their policy as porcupine defense. I really don't think they will ever go beyond border skirmishes so long as our tripwire is present. Their nukes keep a lid on US reaction and probably contribute to peace, just as the presence of our troops and our offshore nuclear capability keep a lid on their excesses and keep the conflict rhetorical. During the Cold War, my job supported the Pershing nuclear missile units in Germany during the Reagan years. It was controversial, and the anti-neutron bomb protests marched outside my living quarters every Sunday for awhile. I thought then that the Pershings kept the peace just as I think now that the North Korean weapons offer the hope of deterring war and saving countless lives.
