North Korean Timeline of Escalating Threats

It's up to the US to push the next button with it's next provocation (if it so desires it)

I think we should fire a warning shot of 12 fusion warhead-tipped Tomahawk cruise missiles at Poonyang and the gook's bases.

Then threaten to get serious.

baha! Guess it depends on which swine you're talking about.

Actually I would love to see the US suddenly destroy the entire nation by surprise and remove it from the planet 100%.

It is a stain on the planet and causes nothing except troubles. It should be cut out, like a cancer, completely.

as if Japans full rearmament was a foregone conclusion?

Of course it is but you won't know it.

Nuclear Japan is the wild card...

and it is about to be played

So your OK with killing a couple million people cause you fall for a bunch of propaganda to cover the bankers asses?
MORON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or should I say ASS...........HAT!!!

It's up to the US to push the next button with it's next provocation (if it so desires it)

Japan's full-rearmament wouldn't just change the balance of power in Asia. It'd tip the scales globally.

They're at least a generation ahead of the West in military and industrial tech, it's just on a relatively small scale so it's not markedly noticed en masse.

You put that baby into full-swing (like in WW2) and you've got a Frankenstein beyond comprehension.

China's fears are entirely justified. And the Americans are very lucky that Japan is on its side.

I sincerely hope that Japan does not acquire the bomb. That kind of weapon combined with their existing and future tech potential would be unthinkable for the status-quo.

It's up to the US to push the next button with it's next provocation (if it so desires it)

So I'm gonna watch it all play out in the hills

tip..


you want to create the news status quo

You set the rule

The status quo is about to be reestablished

Japan is day's if not hours away from the bomb..

they just didn't assemble it yet....well maybe <know that?


Point is... the status quo in Asia is going to change dramatically

They're at the end of the road. They've made a declaration of war against the South and as you can see within the timeline, under new leadership they've been keeping more of their promises.

Why now though? Why all of a sudden?

Look no further then China.

WW3 will begin as a war by proxy. All the superpowers have their own pieces to play before they get directly involved themselves.

No problem :)

I don't think the US mainland is under threat, not yet at least. It would be too suspicious if the DPRK only made threats against the American military presence in the region (Japan/Guam) and not the US as a whole, so in my opinion it's just posturing to better serve Chinas purpose.

It's unlikely China wants America to get bombed... They make way too much money off the states.
