Don't worry South Korea, Obama's got your back...

Oh crap...

[TheBattman]

are fatal weapons that can kill people

What great command of the "Engrish Wrangwridge".

Is that anything like the old Raid bug spray catch phrase: "Kills bugs Dead"?

[gogogodzilla]

It is extremely rare for a country to use such weapons in peacetime and target unarmed civilians, which experts say deserves international condemnation.

This is a perfect example of why I can't stand reading news in Korean... or in English, written by Koreans.

That they need to consult with 'experts' to realize that firing MLRS onto civilians is actually *BAD*? Really? Gosh, I'd have NEVER, EVER suspect that without my betters telling me so!

It really ticks me off to no end to see the South Korean press trot out 'experts' to tell people how to think.

In the last 10 years the North Koreans have shifted their war strategy from invasion to the scenarios in the article. A lot of the long-range guns are sited in horizontal shafts dug into ridges north of the DMZ. In the event of war the Air Force would attack this artillery. Somebody who gamed this situation for years told me it was possible to bury the mouths of these casements with bomb-induced landslides. He said the North Koreans have anticipated this have stationed earth moving equipment inside the shafts to clear the rubble. As a result a lot of the targets would be hit repeatedly. He said the theory is it will take 48 hours to neutralize most of these guns.

Okay. They have this ability. I don’t think anyone has any idea just how much ordnance they actually have to sustain an attack. Not saying it wouldn’t be awful or messy but this is a country that has had nothing to trade for decades except some nuke knowledge to Iran and Syria. You can’t make bombs out of dirt.

US doctrine for a war with NK has always been to use nukes.

It's the ONLY way to avoid 10mil SK casualties.

Japan: possible North Korea has advanced nuclear arms

Japanese Defence Minister Toshimi Kitazawa said the possibility that North Korea's nuclear arms development is fairly advanced cannot be ruled out.

"North Korea's uranium enrichment activities are a highly worrisome development ... We cannot rule out the possibility that their nuclear arms programme is fairly advanced," Kitazawa told a news conference, Reuters reports.

I'm sure the villagers would have preferred conventional 152 or 122 arty projectiles......

Dumb@$$e$! If it's falling on YOU it's a bad thing, from an old 66mm mortar to a 16" off the Mighty MO.

[LibLieSlayer]

Their artillery is not nearly as devastating as our bunker busting nukes... but we do not have anyone in dc with the devastating balls to use them to eliminate the threat.
