North Korea Declares MARTIAL LAW

Isn't that tyranny already under permanent martial law?

They are declaring martial law because they intend to test fire a missile in the direction of the United States...

Which under normal circumstances might elicit a response but considering who is running things now it's unlikely the USA will do a damn thing..

North Korea is the most unstable nation on the planet with a huge military poised above ground across the DMZ, with troops in underground bunkers and has tunneled under the DMZ, has nuclear capability, etc. They are a total wild card. Literally anything could happen, because their economic situation is very tenuous and they're starving. It's only a matter of time before a coup happens.

Meanwhile we have a weak President in the USA. We have a lame duck South Korea leader. We have Japan and China saber rattling.

You have to ask yourself, what would be the downside of North Korea invading South Korea from their perspective? It's a matter of brinksmanship. I personally doubt that Obama would launch first, for that's not the current nuclear doctrine. That puts the USA in a response mode of waiting while an invasion takes place. South Korea could not repel the North Koreans in all honestly unless the USA also engaged.

seems like there are a lot of N.Korean historians here. And some people know more about N.Korea than the people that actually live there do.

Typical brainwash propaganda. Hitler used it on his people, and NATO uses it on theirs.

Idiot

Okay, just my two cents worth but here goes:

Martial Law in North Korea and total combat readiness of all front-line troops at the DMZ says that there's going to be a lot more than a nuke test. Odds are there is going to be another form of provocation, possibly an attack of some kind against South Korea.

Convening a special emergency meeting with regards to the above? Well that's even more sinister. State officials would have obviously been aware already of a nuke test, and since Kim Jong-un is supreme leader this kind of action isn't necessary unless he's issuing instructions of another kind to them.

All in all, this doesn't bode well.

i couldnt disagree at all.

If they launch a nuke towards... they are at war with south korea...

which is is just another territory of the US

So yeah they are ready for war

They don't have a launch a nuke. They simply start steaming rolling tanks into South Korea. By the time the USA decides to react, it's too late.
