Re: Full war declaration statement from DPRK
What happens if Kim Jong-un acts on his threats?

In the event that the 'bellicose rhetoric' of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un turns into something more serious, the opening hours of conflict could be 'pretty ugly,' defense analysts warn.

Washington

Veteran North Korea watchers, citing what they see as increasingly troubling signs coming from the dictatorial regime, are voicing concerns that its new young leader, Kim Jong-un, could do something ill-advised, even start a war!!!!

In response to the prospect of North Korea following through on this and other marginally less dire threats, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday that the US military “will unequivocally defend, and [is] unequivocally committed to the alliance with, South Korea.”

But if hostilities were in fact to erupt, how might they play out?

Some former US Special Operations Forces and longtime Korea defense analysts have their own thoughts on what an “unequivocal” US military response could look like, including how US troops would be deployed in the event of a lethal first strike on US and allied military forces by North Korea – precisely the sort of move Mr. Kim has been threatening to make.

It might involve small-scale infiltrations using mini-submarines, assassination attempts, “maybe shooting someone on the DMZ” says Patrick Cronin, senior director of the Asia-Pacific Security Program.

Should Kim choose to do “something even more outlandish,” the US military and South Korean response would be more dire, he adds.

One of the scenarios that most concerns US defense analysts, involves North Korea’s estimated 500,000 to 700,000 rounds of artillery aimed at Seoul, “in the first few hours of the conflict, it would be pretty ugly.” says retired Brig. Gen. Russell Howard, former commander of the 1st Special Forces Group.

At the same time, North Korea could begin “swarming” its sizable contingent of 600,000 Special Operations commandos, adds Mr. Howard, now the director of the Terrorism, Research, and Education Program at the Monterey Institute of International Studies.

“The sole purpose of this group, is to infiltrate the South and create havoc.”


The realistic goal of the North Korean military would likely be to get some 150,000 of them over the border, where they would “go for infrastructure, such as communications and transportation systems.”

The US military would immediately respond to the initial barrage of artillery with air power, using B-52s and highly-accurate B-2 stealth bombers to take them out, along with other key command-and-control targets.

But while the US would no doubt disable these systems, “the artillery or chemical weapons that North Korea is capable of firing into Seoul – a city of some 20 million – would still have a devastating impact,” says Victor Cha, the Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

“We would counter, but they could fire thousands of rounds of artillery first, before we could neutralize it. That has always been one of the problems, it can still do a terrible amount of damage.”


The mission that US Special Operations Forces would be given: "There is little doubt that they would be deployed with an urgent order to secure North Korean weapons of mass destruction. Accomplishing that “would be tough,” Howard says. “It would be very tough.”

A massive influx of North Korean refugees, in the neighborhood of 3.5 to 4 million into China and another 2.5 million likely moving south into South Korea.

Howard says. “It’s going to be a human disaster that we’ve never experienced – there are going to be so many refugees,” “It would just be a nightmare to try to separate civilians from the battlefield.”

Re: Full war declaration statement from DPRK
That certainly got me pumped up to go to war with the imperialist dogs. Our cause is just! Our leader is strong! Our people are one!

They have provoked my people for the last time and our greatest-ever Marshall Kim Jong Un shall lead us in our destined fight for justice and ensure the Democratic People's Republic of Korea shall achieve glorious reunification by destroying the United States, their allies, and annihilating the puppet government that controls the south through their deceit, fear and threats of violence. We shall once again be one nation, one people, and the greatest-ever Marshall Kim Jong Un shall...

Ah hell, I forgot, I'm one of the imperialists. Crap.

Why can't our leaders issue such calls to arms when the time comes? All we get are lame little press conferences and announcements that don't get me pumped up or appeal to my pride and reinforce that we are the just ones.

Now I'm all sad we don't have neat things like the North Koreans. xD

Re: Full war declaration statement from DPRK
this is the most serious statement from the North Korean leaders in a decade or so. They had a lot of wording, but seems now it is their "final" words. Hope the war will be conventional. But that way they may lose if have to fight with the US planes, and they know it.
 Quoting: Russian guy 24071670


That conventional war you are worried about would last about 15 minutes, Their is no place on Earth that is going to threaten the USA.
Who would? Russia will not and China will not,do you think North Korea has half a chance? No they don't, so why worry?

Re: Full war declaration statement from DPRK
Kat Connelly They have been in a state of war since 1950... The cease-fire was never re-signed in 1953, that's why we still have such heavy military presence on the 39th parellel. This is mostly sabre-rattling for domestic consumption to maintain support for Kim Un's military Bravado (the oil in any communistic machine...i.e.: Propaganda.) They've been playing this game for so long it's about time someone call their bluff. The reality is that any missile launched by NK that has any type of serious payload, will be knocked out of the sky immediately by the defense systems of at least 3 major world powers. Kim Jong Un is NOT a threat to anyone but his own people....and he knows it. Nothing will come of this, trust and believe.

Re: Full war declaration statement from DPRK
The moves of the U.S. imperialists to violate the sovereignty of the DPRK and encroach upon its supreme interests have entered an extremely grave phase. Under this situation, the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un, brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu, convened an urgent operation meeting on the performance of duty of the Strategic Rocket Force of the Korean People's Army for firepower strike and finally examined and ratified a plan for firepower strike.

The important decision made by him is the declaration of a do-or-die battle to provide an epochal occasion for putting an end to the history of the long-standing showdown with the U.S. and opening a new era. It is also a last warning of justice served to the U.S., south Korean group and other anti-reunification hostile forces. The decision reflects the strong will of the army and people of the DPRK to annihilate the enemies.

Now the heroic service personnel and all other people of the DPRK are full of surging anger at the U.S. imperialists' reckless war provocation moves, and the strong will to turn out as one in the death-defying battle with the enemies and achieve a final victory of the great war for national reunification true to the important decision made by Kim Jong Un.

The Supreme Command of the KPA in its previous statement solemnly declared at home and abroad the will of the army and people of the DPRK to take decisive military counteraction to defend the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of its supreme leadership as regards the war moves of the U.S. and south Korean puppets that have reached the most extreme phase.

Not content with letting B-52 make sorties into the sky over south Korea in succession despite the repeated warnings of the DPRK, the U.S. made B-2A stealth strategic bomber and other ultra-modern strategic strike means fly from the U.S. mainland to south Korea to stage a bombing drill targeting the DPRK. This is an unpardonable and heinous provocation and an open challenge.

By taking advantage of the U.S. reckless campaign for a nuclear war against the DPRK, the south Korean puppets vociferated about "preemptive attack" and "strong counteraction" and even "strike at the commanding forces", openly revealing the attempt to destroy monuments symbolic of the dignity of the DPRK's supreme leadership.

This clearly shows that the U.S. brigandish ambition for aggression and the puppets' attempt to invade the DPRK have gone beyond the limit and their threats have entered the reckless phase of an actual war from the phase of threat and blackmail.

The prevailing grim situation more clearly proves that the Supreme Command of the KPA was just when it made the judgment and decision to decisively settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists and south Korean puppets by dint of the arms of Songun, because time when words could work has passed.

Now they are openly claiming that the B-2A stealth strategic bombers' drill of dropping nuclear bombs was "not to irritate the north" but "the defensive one". The U.S. also says the drill is "to defend the interests of its ally". However, it is nothing but a lame pretext to cover up its aggressive nature, evade the denunciation at home and abroad and escape from the DPRK's retaliatory blows.

The era when the U.S. resorted to the policy of strength by brandishing nuclear weapons has gone.

It is the resolute answer of the DPRK and its steadfast stand to counter the nuclear blackmail of the U.S. imperialists with merciless nuclear attack and their war of aggression with just all-out war.

They should clearly know that in the era of Marshal Kim Jong Un, the greatest-ever commander, all things are different from what they used to be in the past.

The hostile forces will clearly realize the iron will, matchless grit and extraordinary mettle of the brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu that the earth cannot exist without Songun Korea.

Time has come to stage a do-or-die final battle.

The government, political parties and organizations of the DPRK solemnly declare as follows reflecting the final decision made by Kim Jong Un at the operation meeting of the KPA Supreme Command and the unanimous will of all service personnel and people of the DPRK who are waiting for a final order from him.

1.From this moment, the north-south relations will be put at the state of war and all the issues arousing between the north and the south will be dealt with according to the wartime regulations.

The state of neither peace nor war has ended on the Korean Peninsula.

Now that the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK have entered into an actual military action, the inter-Korean relations have naturally entered the state of war. Accordingly, the DPRK will immediately punish any slightest provocation hurting its dignity and sovereignty with resolute and merciless physical actions without any prior notice.

2. If the U.S. and the south Korean puppet group perpetrate a military provocation for igniting a war against the DPRK in any area including the five islands in the West Sea of Korea or in the area along the Military Demarcation Line, it will not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war.

It is self-evident that any military conflict on the Korean Peninsula is bound to lead to an all-out war, a nuclear war now that even U.S. nuclear strategic bombers in its military bases in the Pacific including Hawaii and Guam and in its mainland are flying into the sky above south Korea to participate in the madcap DPRK-targeted nuclear war moves.

The first strike of the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK will blow up the U.S. bases for aggression in its mainland and in the Pacific operational theatres including Hawaii and Guam and reduce not only its military bases in south Korea but the puppets' ruling institutions including Chongwadae and puppet army's bases to ashes at once, to say nothing of the aggressors and the provokers.

3. The DPRK will never miss the golden chance to win a final victory in a great war for national reunification.

This war will not be a three day-war but it will be a blitz war through which the KPA will occupy all areas of south Korea including Jeju Island at one strike, not giving the U.S. and the puppet warmongers time to come to their senses, and a three-dimensional war to be fought in the air, land and seas and on the front line and in the rear.

This sacred war of justice will be a nation-wide, all-people resistance involving all Koreans in the north and the south and overseas in which the traitors to the nation including heinous confrontation maniacs, warmongers and human scum will be mercilessly swept away.

No force on earth can break the will of the service personnel and people of the DPRK all out in the just great war for national reunification and of all other Koreans and overpower their might.

Holding in high esteem the peerlessly great men of Mt. Paektu, the Korean people will give vent to the pent-up grudge and realize their cherished desire and thus bring a bright day of national reunification and build the best power on this land without fail.

SO DOOMED!

Former prime minister and foreign minister Kevin Rudd has told officers of Beijing's main defence academy that the world is looking to China to use its influence to quell the aggression of North Korea.

And while China was announcing its new leadership to the world, North Korea had declared its renunciation of the 1953 armistice.

Pyongyang's antics threatened China's foreign policy objectives because Asian nations were beginning to co-operate on regional anti-ballistic missile defences, which could work against China as well as North Korea, Mr Rudd said.

North Korea's threats to bomb the US and its allies and to reduce the South Korean capital of Seoul to a smouldering ruin had come as some in Japan and South Korea were pushing for their countries to develop nuclear weapons of their own.

Re: Full war declaration statement from DPRK
What happens if Kim Jong-un acts on his threats?

In the event that the 'bellicose rhetoric' of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un turns into something more serious, the opening hours of conflict could be 'pretty ugly,' defense analysts warn.

Washington

Veteran North Korea watchers, citing what they see as increasingly troubling signs coming from the dictatorial regime, are voicing concerns that its new young leader, Kim Jong-un, could do something ill-advised, even start a war!!!!

In response to the prospect of North Korea following through on this and other marginally less dire threats, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said Thursday that the US military “will unequivocally defend, and [is] unequivocally committed to the alliance with, South Korea.”

But if hostilities were in fact to erupt, how might they play out?

Some former US Special Operations Forces and longtime Korea defense analysts have their own thoughts on what an “unequivocal” US military response could look like, including how US troops would be deployed in the event of a lethal first strike on US and allied military forces by North Korea – precisely the sort of move Mr. Kim has been threatening to make.

It might involve small-scale infiltrations using mini-submarines, assassination attempts, “maybe shooting someone on the DMZ” says Patrick Cronin, senior director of the Asia-Pacific Security Program.

Should Kim choose to do “something even more outlandish,” the US military and South Korean response would be more dire, he adds.

One of the scenarios that most concerns US defense analysts, involves North Korea’s estimated 500,000 to 700,000 rounds of artillery aimed at Seoul, “in the first few hours of the conflict, it would be pretty ugly.” says retired Brig. Gen. Russell Howard, former commander of the 1st Special Forces Group.

At the same time, North Korea could begin “swarming” its sizable contingent of 600,000 Special Operations commandos, adds Mr. Howard, now the director of the Terrorism, Research, and Education Program at the Monterey Institute of International Studies.

“The sole purpose of this group, is to infiltrate the South and create havoc.”


The realistic goal of the North Korean military would likely be to get some 150,000 of them over the border, where they would “go for infrastructure, such as communications and transportation systems.”

The US military would immediately respond to the initial barrage of artillery with air power, using B-52s and highly-accurate B-2 stealth bombers to take them out, along with other key command-and-control targets.

But while the US would no doubt disable these systems, “the artillery or chemical weapons that North Korea is capable of firing into Seoul – a city of some 20 million – would still have a devastating impact,” says Victor Cha, the Korea chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.

“We would counter, but they could fire thousands of rounds of artillery first, before we could neutralize it. That has always been one of the problems, it can still do a terrible amount of damage.”


The mission that US Special Operations Forces would be given: "There is little doubt that they would be deployed with an urgent order to secure North Korean weapons of mass destruction. Accomplishing that “would be tough,” Howard says. “It would be very tough.”

A massive influx of North Korean refugees, in the neighborhood of 3.5 to 4 million into China and another 2.5 million likely moving south into South Korea.

Howard says. “It’s going to be a human disaster that we’ve never experienced – there are going to be so many refugees,” “It would just be a nightmare to try to separate civilians from the battlefield.”

They do not even have fuel to power their patrol boats. Escapee's report that they use SAILS, so how do they intend on not only going by air land and sea but surrounding them from the rear. This made me laugh very hard. I hope we get to see some DOOM.
