Fixed that for you.

what did you fix?

Websites to website.

So, Cyber attack launched on south Korea. That seems important. And relevant. And it is my patriotic duty to keep this thread, and the fear of war, ALIVE!


It seems almost certain to be de north.

Here's a likely course for NK to pursue:

1. Raise the ante by scrapping the ceasefire treaties (check)
2. Convince the US to enter peace treaty negotiations.
3. Some of the embargos and sanctions are lifted.
4. Export to US
5. Literally profit.

Beijing doesn't have much sway with NK anymore. They got fed up of lapping up the scraps Beijing gave them.

Also, if the US doesn't enter peace negotiations, they sell nukes to Iran and profit anyways. Win-win.

Either way, North Korea is powerless. I have defeated their only potato.

And thus starved thousands of innnocent people. Are you proud of what you've done ?

And how exactly do you expect them to ship nukes to Iran? China isn't going to help that and South Korea certainly isn't. If they try to send one themselves it'll run straight into the Seventh Fleet and be captured.

They could use their ICBMs, and simply not prime the bombs.

Given that the US has proven that the only way to have geopolitical sway is to have nukes. It really does feel like a win-win for them.

As I recall, their missiles do not qualify as ICBMs. Also, if they launch it is war, primed or not.

War between North Korea and Iran? I'm on board, mostly because I want to see how they'd actually go about the business of physically conducting it.

Iran would likely win.

No, war between North Korea and the US. If any of their missiles are nuclear-armed and leave North Korea in any direction, it is pretty much certain to result in war. At the very least it will be shot down, but I don't think it'll stop there.

Shot down how? AFAIK the US doesn't have a functioning missile defense system for combating ICBMs yet. Unless I'm just totally reading that article wrong.

Or at least, they'll try to shoot it down. Missile defense systems are hard. I doubt they'd do better than a 75% interception rate. (Note: Not counting any Korean rockets that explode or their own, or a similair mechanical failure that can not be attributed to the defense system)

They got an entire fleet with missile interception weaponry lying around Korea.

In specific, the Aegis and Patriot missile defense systems. The system doesn't has a complete coverage, but they can open point blank fire on any Korean rocket.

I sorta think you're wrong on this one.Mostly because they don't simply give scraps, they literally run their entire economy. it more like their acting out against them, trying to avoid being a new province. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/mar/22/china-stops-oil-exports-north-korea-possibly-punis/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS


And they are failing.
