I was honestly thinking for a tiny bit that a time traveling battlion of Korean soldiers from the Korean War ended up in the DMZ.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[Fniff]

Holy hell, North Korea. You are so stupid you redefine the term every time you do anything.

Why even try attacking the mainland of America? It's so pointless and useless. The battle plan, that is, not mainland America.

[Mephansteras]

Probably not accidental. It's probably being deliberately shown to give the impression that they actually have the capability of pulling off an attack like that.

NK is bluffing, like always. They don't want war, because their main goal is as it always has been: Keeping the regime in power. This is just an attempt by the new ruler to show that he's strong and powerful to keep any potential upstarts within his government subdued. If anything does happen, I predict that it'll be quickly scaled back and blamed on someone he wants to get rid of.

The background check, master of all conflicts!

[Loud Whispers]

Appear strong when you are weak, appear weak when you are strong.



NORTH KOREA STRONG

[palsch]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Gold.

The images show a chart marked "US mainland strike plan" and missile trajectories that the NK News web site estimates terminate in Hawaii, Washington DC, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas.

[ChairmanPoo]

Yeah, I'm leaning on the leak being delliberate

[RedWarrior0]

You know, if this has been a 50+ year gambit for North Korea pretending to be terribly weak and pretending not to notice its supposed weakness and we're really playing right into their hands, I won't be sure what to say.

[Vactor]

As has been oft stated in this thread... This is all for domestic consumption to try to tamp down the destabilization caused by the succession of a young unqualified ruler of a widely despised country.  The rest of the world is taking advantage of this by putting the squeeze on them.  The powers at be in NK are not suicidal, they lead comfy lives, and are just doing what is necessary to maintain their comfy lives.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah. Contrary to popular belief, NK is neither crazy nor stupid. They just act that way in order to stay in power. They appear weak enough that no one needs to take them out but crazy enough that no one wants to risk attacking them for fear of what they might do.

It's worked really well for them for generations, I doubt they'll stop now.

[Owlbread]

One problem with this is that the resistance movement is going to be set back pretty badly.

[Just Some Guy]

I just might be seeing things, but it looks like one of the targets is in Baja.
Mexico might have something to say about that...

[olemars]

The danger in NK isn't really the leadership, their sole objective is holding onto their power and cushy privileges. The danger lies with the soldiers and mid-level officers who keep hearing the Young General telling them to be ready to attack at any minute, war is right around the corner, and who have been taught since childhood that the SK and US soldiers just across the border are itching to kill them and feast on their flesh.

If a handful of those get too nervous and cause an incident this could escalate almost instantly.

I feel like this was done on purpose, though. Can't tell me a propaganda-exporter-only like NK would make that kind of massive fuckup. Probably just to make us [or the gullible] believe they could attack the mainland. Not that they can, but whatever.
