This doesn't sound like a direct threat to S. Korea. More likely, this is a show of force to dissuade any potential coup attempts during the change over of power to Kim's son. Some reports I've seen are saying 2 combat divisions have been moved and are camped right outside Pyongang.

Hard to believe they have troops in good enough physical condition to be any good.

OTOH, if there’s anyone they’re going to HAVE to feed, they’d be it.

Well, with all of them in one spot like that, a single nuke-tipped Tomahawk would do a world of good.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

When NK becomes a refugee camp how many will get a free ticket to the US? Instead,
I would hope we just send them ships of grain and the rest of the world pitches in.

Somehow I think the diversity morons running this country will invite them here.

Thanks jhpigott. Could be anything, however, when Iran moves North Korea will move as well.
South Korea has detected a "massive" deployment of North Korean troops and arms near the capital Pyongyang... The large number of soldiers, armoured vehicles and artillery have been stationed near the communist state's capital since July 12... The deployment appears to be related to political events such as a meeting of key communist party delegates next month and the party's 65th anniversary on October 10, a ministry spokesman told AFP.

Is North Korea the first nation to have a national Jim Jones moment?

Out goes big kim and in comes rittle kim.

Then the purges begin.Its because of revenge and fear.

A lot of shivering and shaking going on in certain parts of the Commie hierarchy. Totalitarian states have difficulty transitioning power from one faction to another, and we need not laugh too loudly.

We have the same problem, its just that its far more subtle, since the people here are not yet in the know.They are starting to “get it.” Genuflect to the government and all will be well, go against it and the entire nation , its economy, its institutions, its very allies, will be destroyed. Thats the message here.

What is it in North Korea??The same, only they are far ahead on the curve to zero freedom, and they can disapper in the night never to be seen again, their economy, and society are already destroyed.

We are now on that same path. And we need to get off it.

I keep wondering if North Korea is going to attack South Korea very soon after Israel attacks Iran, if and when Israel does attack Iran.
