Full war declaration statement from DPRK (via KCNA):
Reuters ^ | 3/28/13

Posted on 03/29/2013 10:05:56 PM PDT by Kartographer

The moves of the U.S. imperialists to violate the sovereignty of the DPRK and encroach upon its supreme interests have entered an extremely grave phase. Under this situation, the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu, convened an urgent operation meeting on the performance of duty of the Strategic Rocket Force of the Korean People's Army for firepower strike and finally examined and ratified a plan for firepower strike.

The important decision made by him is the declaration of a do-or-die battle to provide an epochal occasion for putting an end to the history of the long-standing showdown with the U.S. and opening a new era. It is also a last warning of justice served to the U.S., south Korean group and other anti-reunification hostile forces. The decision reflects the strong will of the army and people of the DPRK to annihilate the enemies.

“I don’t see you packing your bag yet and running over there so our guys can come home. “


Hey butthead, I wasn’t even talking about our military men. I was talking about a nuclear strike on North Korea and the fact it is not going to make life uninhabitable in South Korea, even if the bloody cloud comes right into SK. The fallout is dangerous only temporarily, it is limited only to within the path of the cloud, and those within it easily solve it by taking cover, even if it is not a full scale underground shelter. Just about anything that covers you from the outside world is going to lower your exposure. Stay inside, wait for it to pass, South Korea will be there the next day, and the next year, and forever after.

But you guys want to make me a bad guy just because you’re all lost in antiquated No-Nuke propaganda.

It is a little-known piece of trivia that the dialogue you quote from Slim Pickens in Stangelove originally was: “Shoot, a fella’ could have a pretty good weekend in Dallas with all that stuff.” Then the Kennedy assassination happened about the time the film was to be released, and they dubbed “Vegas” over Slim Pickens’ original “Dallas,” so as not to offend the populace.

If you watch the film when he says this, you can see that his lips are saying “Dallas”, but the sound was overdubbed to “Vegas”.

My science is based on a basic understanding of nuclear physics. In a nuclear reactor the material is not weapon's grade and is designed to decay at a rate high enough to cause enough heat to turn a generator, but not so hot that it melts the containment or cannot be stopped. When that happens the material will melt the containment vessel and then go subcritical again.

In a nuclear detonation all the energy is released in a fraction of a second and most of the harsher radiation is gone after 1-2 years.

There you go again with a culturally incorrect phrase.

The US isn't the UK. I can swear effectively in the Queen's English, as well as American English. NCOs (real ones) and cooks can do that.

But dude, you aren't helping yourself with your supervisors who have to be watching by now.

Thanks for your input. So, Puny Humans, who called me a “Butthead”, would be in serious radiation immediately and radiation will be his buddy for one to two years. That sounds good, so when is newbie Punny Humans leaving for this healthy climate he will be in if a nuclear bomb blows up?

I knew that. But I was just a bun in the oven when JFK went away.

Slim Pickens was a favorite of mine. Especially in 'Blazing Saddles' I'm not sure he said anything politically correct outside of "I think you boys have had enough".

I heard a report today that we will be moving some/all? of our troops out of Okinawa. Less reason for NK to bomb Japan??

I love to meet other folks who love trivia as much as I do! Strangelove has lots of good stuff.

I was trying to think of the name, “Dr. Strangelove” early on in this thread. Great minds think alike.

Guess what! You live with radiation EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE. And radiation from a nuclear attack is NOT going to kill you after waiting things out for a certain amount of time.

“Radioactive fallout from a nuclear explosion, though very dangerous initially, loses its intensity quickly because it is giving off so much energy. For example, fallout emitting gamma ray radiation at a rate over 500 R/hr (fatal with one hour of exposure) shortly after an explosion, weakens to only 1/10th as strong 7 hours later. Two days later, it’s only 1/100th as strong, or as deadly, as it was initially.”

And please stop insulting me as if I am inviting a nuclear attack on the United States. My reply was to concerns that nuking North Korea would destroy the South.

You are such a handsome “young” man. I was teaching elementary school when I heard about JFK, then, after school, went to and IRS audit. The IRS guy and I were both subdued and neither one was interested in the reason he came there. Was something about the way a rent house I had was dealt with on that return. I got info. from a Realtor before I did that return, so that's why it was that way. I don't remember what happened about that because it wasn't that important.

His peons are probably thinking, “please kill us and put us out of our misery”.

I have not said that anywhere. However, you did say if a nuke landed on top of my house... and my house is in the USA. I said nothing about a bomb in the US. Newbies tend to get mixed up as well as call people names like “Butthead”. Names like that will come back to bite you. You need to have some respect for your elders.

That declaration of war lists Guam as a target. I wonder what Japan is thinking?

I am speaking of going back to background levels. In my life I have had about 3 dozen CT scans and 100s of regyualr x-rays but I am still healthy.

There are three main types of radiation you need to worry about in a nuclear accident, alpha and beta radiation can be stopped by almost any solid material and the risk here is from breathing in radioactive dust. The next is gamma and the majority of this disappears in 100 days.

singular is “fallout” plerual is “fallout”

Pastpluperfect is “fellout”

“I have not said that anywhere. However, you did say if a nuke landed on top of my house...”


So you deny you’re making the accusation, and then you straight out make it again. I used it as an example that even on the point of impact, you’re not going to be doomed for all eternity. And then consider the way the fallout actually disperses! If even the initial strike area is going to be OK (except if you happened to be standing outside when it struck and not in a shelter) over time, and even within the next couple of weeks, then it stands to follow that fallout for places even nearby will be manageable and not the end of the world.

I’m not sure why you guys got so hostile to begin with. Maybe I shouldn’t have made lite of the long term effects, which, by the way, you are susceptible to even just walking around (we are bombarded by radiation constantly. In fact, I’ve even known friends who freaked out that a dirty bomb went off because they detected a big spike in radiation.) minding your own business. But, you guys must actually believe those old propaganda movies where the nukes are making everybody’s hair fall off even when they were probably hundreds of miles away from the actual blast and fallout, or that after all is said and done you’re going to have mutants walking around and that you can’t live in those places ever again.

A nuclear war is certainly survivable, and if we nuke North Korea, the South is going to be just fine.

You should have respect for those with some knowledge on the topic and not getting offended just because you disagree, though I am no expert. Just someone who happens to read from time to time. That’s why I supported my statements with no less than 3 links all saying the same thing as me.

What line of work are you in or, if not due to work, that’s a lot of CT scans. ???
