You heard me.

It is like seeing those kids from highschool that you disliked growing up into responsible adults...

And North Korea is that one guy throwing cats at everyone.

[Max White]

Well he is certainly threatening to... Not even sure if he actually owns any cats.

Well look at that!

Obese opossums that resemble cats when viewed at a certain angle.

I am referring instead to them packing one of their nukes (a large, radioactive object) onto a truck, boat, etc. and taking it across the border into Seoul, as said nukes are most likely too large to be mounted on a missile.

I don't think North Korea will nuke Seoul. According to North Korean propaganda, they're going to liberate South Korea from American oppressors and reunify the country. Destroying the new capital would be completely pointless. How would they explain it to South Koreans? "We've transformed Seoul into a petrified radioactive crater in order to weed out the hiding Americans"?
(unless Kim Jong-un's goal is to raise his own highscore in Hell by killing as much people as possible)

The question I was originally replying to wasn't "will they?", it was "can they?". South Korea or, now that I think about it, China are their only physically possible options IMO.

Nuking S.K. would be stupid for the reasons you described, and nuking China... well, even brass balls as large as Jong Un would need wouldn't save them from the shit that would follow.

[Skyrunner]

NK isn't nuking anyone until they're on their deathbed. A nuke has near infinite worth while in the hand but only a limited effect once played. O.o

To clarify, a single nuke.

I had some thoughts on this matter.

Official NK propaganda states that ongoing US-SK military drills pose a threat to NK and they are responding to that.

If NK warns all foreign embassies to evacuate from Pyongyang and no one actually bothers to evacuate - does it not send a clear signal to NK that Pyongyang will not be bombed? It can be interpreted differently but in the optimistic "paranoid but not aggressive-suicidal" NK case it could mean to them that they will not be attacked in the near future and could ease tensions a bit.

[Descan]

They said South Korea should evacuate of foreigners, not North Korea, and definitely not Pyongyang.

If anything, they'd take it as a slight. "They disrespect us so much that they do not heed our warning?!" kind of deal.

Well, no...they actually did tell a number of countries to evacuate their embassies in Pyongyang because they "couldn't guarantee the safety of embassy staff after April 10". Then a few days later they told foreigners to leave South Korea. Y'know, because they're a Good Guy Greg that way.

I hear foreign investment in SK is falling as a result of this posturing. Maybe that-s NK's great plan? Passive-aggressively fuck up SK till they get an alm?

[Max White]

Don't worry, SKs major source of finance is winnings from starcraft tournaments. As long as the internet stays up, SK will prosper.

[Loud Whispers]

The North Koreans can't win, South Korea's micro is too strong.

They're going to nuke the internet! We must stop them!
