Nuclear War to Be Conducted on Korean Peninsula
Pyongyang, March 29 (KCNA) -- A nuclear war has turned out to be an established one on the Korean Peninsula.
Despite the repeated warnings of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the United States, for the first time, made B-2A fly from Whiteman air force base in Missouri State over south Korea on March 28 to launch an exercise of striking ground targets aimed at the DPRK.
Earlier, a formation of U.S. B-52 based in Anderson air-force base on Guam flew to the sky above south Korea and staged nuclear war exercises striking simulated in-depth targets of the DPRK.
Meanwhile, the U.S. deputy secretary of Defense flew to south Korea to finally examine the preparations for a nuclear war against the DPRK and openly said that the U.S. military attaches top priority to the second Korean war, giving green light to a nuclear war.
Accordingly, the commander of the U.S. forces in south Korea and the south Korean military chief drafted a "plan to jointly cope with local provocation". The main point of it is to start a total nuclear war involving the U.S. forces in the U.S. mainland and the Pacific region after the south Korean forces touch off a conflict.
The south Korean warmongers, elated with the backing of the U.S. master, are threatening punishment to "provocation" of the DPRK and even seeking to mount precision missile strikes on the statues of the great Generalissimos Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, symbol of the DPRK's dignity.
The U.S. even let the conservative media of south Korea reveal the process of the 2010 operation against Osama bin Laden. It openly said the operational plan of "south Korea-U.S. combined forces" includes targeting the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK with the use of lethal striking means and methods of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the south Korean puppet army.
All the developments clearly show that the U.S. and south Korean aggression moves to conquer the DPRK, the strategic vantage, are leading to an outbreak of a nuclear war.
Under the present situation reminiscent of the eve of the Fatherland Liberation War (1950-1953), the army and the people of the DPRK have turned out for a sacred war of justice for defending the nation's destiny.
Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Marshal Kim Jong Un at 00:30 Friday finally examined and ratified the plan for firepower strike of the KPA strategic rocket forces so that they may strike any time the U.S. mainland and its military bases in Hawaii, Guam and south Korea. All weapons of the KPA have already aimed at the bases while the Worker-Peasant Red Guards and the Young Red Guards are on standby for action.
It is the steadfast will of the DPRK to react to the U.S. nuclear blackmail with merciless nuclear attacks, and war of aggression with a total war of justice.
Samsung. I bought some other piece of junk, returned it and bought a Samsung. Extremely pleased with it. Then bought a Samsung soundbar for it; they pair very well and movies and music sound great! Excellent combo for a computer monitor, Internet streaming, movies, and audio connections. Wonder if the warranty will be honored if the North invades and takes over the South? (Kidding, the North will become a graveyard.)
Despite their rivalry in the phone market, Apple and Samsung are close partners. Samsung makes many chips for Apple. So if Samsung goes, then Apple is heavily impacted. Samsung and Apple make chips in Austin, Texas. Yeah, one of the sites targeted by the North Koreans.
Lots of people laugh at the North Koreans because their missile technology is inferior. But 12 million illegal Mexicans had no problem slipping over our border. NK agents are probably already here, having smuggled in their bomb components. They may have no need to rely on missiles.
Too many literal minded, including the Halfwit-In-Chief at the White Hut. In the past, North Korean threats were little more than official application forms for free Western aid. Give us, or else, something like murder and mayhem in Chicago are application forms for mo foo stams and Obamafoams, and have been, not only in Chicago, since the early 1960s.
Bflr
From what I understand, they recently put a satellite in orbit.
Now they need to build another rocket.
at commercial altitudes the atmosphere would soak up most of the pulse... that is why it needs to be ~300mi up so ALL the energy is converted to gamma rays that cause the EMP
What system do we have to detect an attack of this type?
Military electronics that are critical are hardened against such attacks. You are fear mongering and incorrect.
What percentage of the population has access to these hardened systems? 20-maybe 25% hence my numbers.
I presented a realistic potential scenario if you don't like it that is your choice, but it is hardly fear mongering to present a legitimate possibility.
You bet, most lose sight of that.
Our nuclear submarines roam the seven seas. Wolf packs, major city killers.
The only problem is political and the political fall out using them...Compound this with the issues of America supporting another conventional ground war in Asia. That will likely not happen.
Will those who control the nukes have the will to use them, because of not wanting to get involved in another ground war in Asia.
America has just had an absolute belly full of that BS.
Unfortunately NK knows this and is the reason they would likely go with an all out ground invasion into the south.
I personally think they only way nukes would be used if NK used them first. But even then, I'd bet those who control the big ones would be very hesitant.
I would hope and am confident those in charge of the nukes would have the plans drawn up to use tactical nukes, and all NK military installations/command centers are targeted.
Where do you get 250 miles from? I am talking about the effect of the EMP
Absolutely.
Compound this by the fact Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries on the planet..They're government officials and law enforcement can be bribed with cheap beer and prostitutes to look the other way.
That next 40 foot truck trailer parked at Walmart in Dallas could contain something a bit more threatening as opposed to being packed with 87 illegals.
The systems we have you shouldn’t know.
The have systems we have are in place.
Wrong, the system we have in place is not your business.
We are prepared, you just don’t know.
Do you have a TS/SCI?
” The Norks would be reduced to radioactive pumice in a matter of hours with no remedy or recourse.”
That would only be true if we had a CIC... We don’t.
Hoe many SCIFs hsve you worked in? My guess zero.
Hoe == How
Currently no, but I did for 5 years. I worked on the Launch system for the Peacekeeper missile and the maintenance seal system for the MX missile. I gave up the clearance when I left company.
See post # 72 you are off by 2.
see post #67
“The EMP would damage over 75% of our electronics and severly restrict our ability to respond. “
Not really. Try picking another number out of yer ass.
You are thinking of a single burst centered over the country 250 miles up. In that you would be correct. But what I said was 4-5 nukes and cited specific areas. Please go back and look at my original post.
