North Korea Likely To Launch 'A Relatively Small Attack That Won't Leave Many People Dead'

The most probable outcome of all these tensions is a low-level "tactical" strike from North Korea.

But don't worry, it'll be " a relatively small attack that won’t leave many people dead," Sue Mi Terry, a Columbia University professor who served as a senior analyst on North Korea at the CIA from 2001 to 2008, told Wired's Spencer Ackermann.

Analysts in the military, political, and intelligence fields have all pretty much said the same thing: Kim Jong-Un has painted himself into a corner, and the only way out is a gunfight.

Luckily they also say it won't be World War III.

If only NK was an Islamist country, then Obunghole would just give them tons of cash to diffuse the whole situation

I did some googling on Sue Mi Terry. Found this:

Asan Plenum “The Six Party Talks as Viable Mechanism for Denuclearization” (1/4)

Text says: “Sue Mi Terry : Council on Foreign Relations (CFR)”

May they target the one that ratcheted up the rhetoric.

Kim will eventually be compelled to do "something provocative to prove the threats weren't empty," Lee said.

Well, he's just one guy, isn't he? Let's do something provocative, you know, but not really so bad. How are they on drones? I don't think they're really that with it. They're doing the missile and bomb thing.

Of course she isn't worried, they aren't going to kill anyone in Washington Heights, or any Ivy Leaguers or anyone she could remotely care about.

This must be reassuring to the dads and moms, to know that they are in no way guaranteed to die in the predicted nuclear blast, that actually, casualties will probably be in the acceptable range according to some as yet unknown standard.

WE lost almost 100,000 KIA in WWIII.

It wasn't cold.

No worries then! Gosh, what is wrong with everyone, worrying when not many people will be left dead?

WTH has gone wrong with the people in this country?

WWI was started with a .380 cal. pistol.

“a relatively small attack”

Relative to a nuclear attack?

That sure narrows it down.

What an idiot. South Korea has no intention of absorbing a minor attack. They will go old school on NK if they are attacked. They also damn well expect that the U.S. will have their back, but O’Bumbler could screw up a wet dream.

As a side note, we spend tens, if not hundreds, of billions a year on countless intelligence agencies: Why does Kim Jung Eun still breath? For that matter, why do either of the Castro brothers? Just what the heck are we paying for anyway, lots of vacations and early retirements?

Let’s face it, we have a government that can’t seem to find 20 million illegals, most of whom can’t even speak English, yet make one mistake on your taxes and they are all up in a law abiding citizens grill!

Oh sure, let him kill a few and get it out of his system.
At least the population will decrease for those aging hippies
who carry the Population bomb around like a bible.

If Chia-Boy harms anyone on our side he should be relieved of his life.
