Most analysts agree that they are years away from launching a thermonuclear bomb via missile, and even the most deluded in the North Korean leadership would know that they don't have a chance against the U.S and its allies.

Well like others have said, this guy has pretty much cornered himself to where he has to do something spectacular to prove to the world that he IS bigger than his father and that he may be young but he can rule NK. At the same time I think he's smart enough to know messing with the US and allies is not in his country's best interest. He might launch something, it might be a fail, and then he'll comment that he did that on purpose and he scared away the US and allies from attacking NK. Maybe.

It's too bad his brother (a big Disneyland fan) was thought of as too soft to be a leader by their father.

By this time next week, we'll be sitting here discussing the shocking state of the current financial system instead.

I surely hope so. Or Mustang/Ford talk.

Operation Enduring Freedom is winding down (at least by troop numbers) in Afghanistan. Unfortunately it looks like this is where the next hot spot will be. I hope not though.

I think it is all talk but this is probably what will happen

Noticed this thread has gone quiet all of a sudden, wonder why...

Anyways, here's some interesting reading... wonder if it's true ??

According to Tom Heneghan’s Intelligence Briefing’s Blog, Kim Jong-un has just received a load of money from the USA.

“It can now be reported that a P140 U.S. aircraft cargo plane left Langley, Virginia at 3:30 p.m. EST destination North Korea.
“The aircraft contains $3 BILLION that was made available by the Dallas branch of the German Commerz Bank.
“The $3 BILLION will be delivered directly to North Korea dictator Kim Jong-un by U.S. officials.”

Jeez that's some serious tinfoil stuff on that site....

[NickyN]

WordPress is a blog. Until it's reported by CNN or some other legit media source, I'm not convinced. I tried searching and can't find anything on CNN. I found other $3M assistance heading to Egypt or other places but not NK.

I sure hope not.

Fail! No such aircraft, and no such bank branch in Dallas, TX either.

For sound financial pranning! So ronrey! LOL

[NickyN]

Yup I couldn't find a branch in Dallas either. It's a blog.

[BHDOGS]

I fail to see how 3 billion dollars would help him anyway more money isnt what he needs hes already got plenty from all his starving people what he needs is a decent barber

[NickyN]

And someone to tell him the truth about the rest of the world because it's not all about him.

[BHDOGS]

Yeah, like we're going to believe a site that says it can PROVE that the Catholic Church (Jesuits) sank the Titanic !

As for NK, for all the chest thumping and warning foreigners to leave Sth Korea, they hosted their annual Marathon with international runners !!

Yes it looks like the weird hair cut dictators big threats have amounted to a sparrow fart, no doubt he will be having his news media tell his citizens he through his single handed bravado scared off the aggressors imminent invasion force.

[NickyN]

Exactly.............."his" media will notify "his" citizens of how the whole wide world is afraid of "his" power so everyone backed off.

[burnz]

you know NK have the internet!
their news is the same as ours.

There internet is not the same as ours, it is severely restricted in what they can see. They have no social media, only certain news sites etc etc. And that is for the ones that can afford the internet, which isn't many

[NickyN]

And what they can see is only because their government approved it.
(dictatorship)

they have social media their is called linkin, twitter, facebook, they have limewire/Edonkey, and like everyone they have access to a proxy.

[NickyN]

Not like everyone has access to the www like our countries. And it's severely restricted and censored in NK. Well at least that's the impression I get. I wonder what happens if it's discovered someone has used a proxy to get online and obtain world news?

not to turn this political, but one must look at their own news.
