Is this real?

Crazy shit. Of course network news isn't covering it, too busy reporting on black Friday sales and the goddamn TSA bullshit.

very real, look on http://news.bbc.co.uk

Its on the Yahoo! home page as well.

Oh, it's real. The Koreas never actually ceased to be at war, they just pinky-swore they wouldn't fight anymore. Besides the retaliatory arty strikes and scrambling their jets, I'm curious to see how this plays out for the South.

Kim Jong-il is a nut.

NK just wants the attention back on them. They are drama queens.

^this


ZOMG look at us...we're starving! But instead of enter the global capitalist marketplace and working to improve our economy we're going to follow this communist dream that depends on bombing your ass for concessions.

I would imagine that the recent image-making has a little to do with his son's rise to power as well as the normal international strong-arming.

quick send our military before the budget cuts!

Don't be giving Obama no ideas.

Don't worry, Count Chocula won't be doing anything like that, I bet.

Watch him enact the draft...all while "consistently voting against war"

I wondered why there were so many North Korea related facebook statuses.

" Really North Korea? I hope you realize nobody likes you." And what not.

Both sides will puss out and continue their staring contests across their DMZ.

you seriously havnt been near a recruiting station have you?

a draft is not exactly needed while the economy is in the shitter, everyones lining up as it is. im lucky i made it into the air force.


but i wonder if this is going to turn into anything serious, because it worries me a little, a china backed north korea, while we currently have troops over on the border, shit is gonna get TENSE

prez-hate is fine, but watch the racial epithets.

the draft is unconstitutional.

:giggle: It was meant lightly, and as a joke, I mean no harm to my brotha.

i was like wtf!? and then i got it. fine have ur fun lol :fawk:

me thinks crazy mofo is having trouble selling his succession plan, so hes starting shit. son comes in and saves day yada yada yada.

does it look this ridiculous from within the country?

:laugh::laugh::bowrofl:

I'm sure their propaganda machine is running at full power. I bet you are right, I'm sure the transition of power is playing into the shit going on recently with them. Don't forget the attack on a SK ship recently. Whatever it is, it's a big fucking mess, and nothing good or productive will come out of it.

NORTH KOREA IS BEST KOREA lc

I am from Bombingham, so I am of course fine tuned, purebred racist... even though I'm currently dating a black girl :giggle:

+1000000, we need a President that's got a sack and isn't afraid to hit that big red button. "Woops I slipped" would be an excuse I could live with.

GW woulda attacked Aruba in protest.

^ where the fuck is that dumbass kid gonna go? lol

I do not even know how that is relevant, except that I can not stop laughing.

With newkular weapons?

Now, you look here lady! Baykun is good fur me!!!

I'm guessing a Klan rally.

I will not harbor draft dodgers unless they are site supporters. LOL

I don't think S. Korea will do anything honestly.

Someone resurrect Reagan. Get some skraitnin' up in this mo' fug.

Let them be dumb enough to let a stray round accidentally land on a US post and kill an American and see what happens though.

Obama won't do shit. He'd be too scared of another Mogadishu.

Let an American be killed on a post like those close to the DMZ and I bet all hell breaks loose whether he likes it or not. Field Artillery guys are some crazy mother fuckers and don't like being fucked with, they'll fire back without being told to if they have to.

*patiently waits for propoganda email fwd about "what happened to the radiation" showing pictures of "nagasaki" (except it isn't) comparing it to selected pictures of old tigers stadium*

I bet nothing.

I actually got an email the other day about the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Posting it below.

Tinian Island, Pacific Ocean.

It's a small island, less than 40 square miles, a flat green dot in the vastness of Pacific blue.
Fly over it and you notice a slash across its north end of uninhabited bush, a long thin line that looks like an overgrown dirt runway. If you didn't know what it was, you wouldn't give it a second glance out your airplane window.

On the ground, you see the runway isn't dirt but tarmac and crushed limestone, abandoned with weeds sticking out of it. Yet this is arguably the most historical airstrip on earth. This is where World War II was won. This is Runway Able:

On July 24, 1944, 30,000 US Marines landed on the beaches of Tinian. Eight days later, over 8,000 of the 8,800 Japanese soldiers on the island were dead (vs. 328 Marines), and four months later the Seabees had built the busiest airfield of WWII - dubbed North Field - enabling B-29 Superfortresses to launch air attacks on the Philippines, Okinawa, and mainland Japan.

Late in the afternoon of August 5, 1945, a B-29 was maneuvered over a bomb loading pit, then after lengthy preparations, taxied to the east end of North Field's main runway, Runway Able, and at 2:45am in the early morning darkness of August 6, took off.

The B-29 was piloted by Col. Paul Tibbets of the US Army Air Force, who had named the plane after his mother, Enola Gay. The crew named the bomb they were carrying Little Boy. 6½ hours later at 8:15am Japan time, the first atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima .

Three days later, in the pre-dawn hours of August 9, a B-29 named Bockscar (a pun on "boxcar" after its flight commander Capt. Fred Bock), piloted by Major Charles Sweeney took off from Runway Able. Finding its primary target of Kokura obscured by clouds, Sweeney proceeded to the secondary target of Nagasaki, over which, at 11:01am, bombardier Kermit Beahan released the atomic bomb dubbed Fat Man.

Here is "Atomic Bomb Pit #1" where Little Boy was loaded onto Enola Gay:

There are pictures displayed in the pit, now glass-enclosed. This one shows Little Boy being hoisted into Enola Gay's bomb bay.

And here on the other side of ramp is "Atomic Bomb Pit #2" where Fat Man was loaded onto Bockscar.

The commemorative plaque records that 16 hours after the nuking of Nagasaki , "On August 10, 1945 at 0300, the Japanese Emperor without his cabinet's consent decided to end the Pacific War."

Take a good look at these pictures, folks. This is where World War II ended with total victory of America over Japan. I was there all alone. There were no other visitors and no one lives anywhere near for miles. Visiting the Bomb Pits, walking along deserted Runway Able in solitude, was a moment of extraordinarily powerful solemnity.

It was a moment of deep reflection. Most people, when they think of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, reflect on the numbers of lives killed in the nuclear blasts - at least 70,000 and 50,000 respectively. Being here caused me to reflect on the number of lives saved - how many more Japanese and Americans would have died in a continuation of the war had the nukes not been dropped.

Yet that was not all. It's not just that the nukes obviated the US invasion of Japan, Operation Downfall, that would have caused upwards of a million American and Japanese deaths or more. It's that nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki were of extraordinary humanitarian benefit to the nation and people of Japan .

Let's go to this cliff on the nearby island of Saipan to learn why:

Saipan is less than a mile north of Tinian. The month before the Marines took Tinian, on June 15, 1944, 71,000 Marines landed on Saipan. They faced 31,000 Japanese soldiers determined not to surrender.

Japan had colonized Saipan after World War I and turned the island into a giant sugar cane plantation. By the time of the Marine invasion, in addition to the 31,000 entrenched soldiers, some 25,000 Japanese settlers were living on Saipan, plus thousands more Okinawans, Koreans, and native islanders brutalized as slaves to cut the sugar cane.

There were also one or two thousand Korean "comfort women" (kanji in Japanese), abducted young women from Japan's colony of Korea to service the Japanese soldiers as sex slaves. (See The Comfort Women: Japan's Brutal Regime of Enforced Prostitution in the Second World War, by George Hicks.)

Within a week of their landing, the Marines set up a civilian prisoner encampment that quickly attracted a couple thousand Japanese and others wanting US food and protection. When word of this reached Emperor Hirohito - who, contrary to the myth, was in full charge of the war - he became alarmed that radio interviews of the well-treated prisoners broadcast to Japan would subvert his people's will to fight.

As meticulously documented by historian Herbert Bix in Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan, the Emperor issued an order for all Japanese civilians on Saipan to commit suicide. The order included the promise that, although the civilians were of low caste, their suicide would grant them a status in heaven equal to those honored soldiers who died in combat for their Emperor.

And that is why the precipice in the picture above is known as Suicide Cliff, off which over 20,000 Japanese civilians jumped to their deaths to comply with their fascist emperor's desire - mothers flinging their babies off the cliff first or in their arms as they jumped.

Anyone reluctant or refused, such as the Okinawan or Korean slaves, were shoved off at gunpoint by the Japanese soldiers. Then the soldiers themselves proceeded to hurl themselves into the ocean to drown off a sea cliff afterward called Banzai Cliff. Of the 31,000 Japanese soldiers on Saipan , the Marines killed 25,000, 5,000 jumped off Banzai Cliff, and only the remaining thousand were taken prisoner.

The extent of this demented fanaticism is very hard for any civilized mind to fathom - especially when it is devoted not to anything noble but barbarian evil instead. The vast brutalities inflicted by the Japanese on their conquered and colonized peoples of China, Korea, the Philippines, and throughout their "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" was a hideously depraved horror.

And they were willing to fight to the death to defend it. So they had to be nuked. The only way to put an end to the Japanese barbarian horror was unimaginably colossal destruction against which they had no defense whatever. Nuking Japan was not a matter of justice, revenge, or it getting what it deserved. It was the only way to end the Japanese dementia.

And it worked - for the Japanese. They stopped being barbarians and started being civilized. They achieved more prosperity - and peace - than they ever knew, or could have achieved had they continued fighting and not been nuked. The shock of getting nuked is responsible.

We achieved this because we were determined to achieve victory. Victory without apologies. Despite perennial liberal demands we do so, America and its government has never apologized for nuking Japan . Hopefully, America never will.

There were pictures too, but me so lazy..

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

Someone taking away bacon would send me over the edge too.

I cant imagine anything happening, even if a US soldier(s) is killed.

I get the impression people are scared of N Korea because they know how to play Zerg so well

You are confusing the north with the south sir.

North Koreans are good at games like this:


http://www.ukresistance.co.uk/2008/0...an-arcade.html


Oh, and no one is afraid of North Korea.... Other than maybe South Korea since the North can actually bombard Seoul pretty easily. But if they did that, then game over for them.

The only thing N Korea has is China.

somebody explain to me why we can't extraordinary rendition a q khan, as many taliban as we can find, ahmadinejad and a bunch of other worthless humans i'm forgetting about and effin drop them in north korea. then seal the border. come on, its free entertainment, get some effin popcorn and enjoy the show.

i guess i'm tired of US taking sole responsibility for containing nuclear proliferation and isreal <-> arab relations. its time for somebody else to step up.

just mho

disclaimer: this was a malbec induced post

South Korea fired first?

When I lived in Korea (South, Duh) back in 81-84, they had very similar arcades. You'd walk into what was basically a large garage and there were a bunch of homemade cabinets with ripped off ROMS running to monochrome monitors to play stuff like Galaga, Pacman, etc plus a lot of "off brand" games that were similar copies of popular games.

It was crazy and very 3rd world but also good times. I was 14-16 and we'd go downtown, buy some beers or soju from a street vendor, then sit in the arcade for 5 hours. It was like 50 won per game which was around 10 cents but the vendors would give a better exchange rate for US bucks.

North Korea has the ability to lob shells into Seoul and fuck it up pretty bad. Unfortunately there isn't anything worth a shit in North Korea to bomb aside from military posts to hinder them from wasting 100% of their available resources in a pissing contest with SK.

The question is can NK feed their troops for more than a week if supply is interrupted with China. That's doubtful.

Well of course they had those games in the early 80's

banelings!

We'll respond how we always do: Allow the UN to give them goodie bags to stop their childlike outbursts.

This is what they do to get the sanctions dropped against them.

Just relating. You do realize NK is a 3rd world country, right? What other 3rd world country has an Epcotcenteresque arcade? What would you expect from them. They can't even FEED THEIR POPULATION.

He's just lonely.
