N.Korea claims to use nukes at any time

[SaltySpitoon]

Can their missiles reach that far? I think that if war starts and they use nuclear weapons, they will shoot them at south Korea.

They can't. There are only two country has the ability to reach US.
Russia and China.
The nuclear bomb of North Korea only can reach China and south Korea.

Dont think China or Russia could reach the US either, although they do have the funding and technology, the amount of reaction time from that far away would negate any threat. The real threat is when there is no time to react, like striking from Cuba *cough Cuban Missile Crisis*

Baby fat Kim, starving peasants and nukes. Pathetic.

Their missile range is actually decent. Before reading about it today I thought the worst thing they could do is reach China and Japan. Everybody is making fun of Kim but who knows what his army of slaves is cooking.
I really hope they'll end up blowing themselves up.

What site is that list from, i would be very sceptical of those ranges.
The resent test launch from Nth Korea was publicised as the latest and greatest ever built by them, after expert analyst of the missile launched it was discovered that it was just an old soviet built one painted to look new.

they can't hit the usa yet, they can hit south korea and japan which should be enough to deter american aggression

China and Russia do has the ability to reach US, but they will never do that useless US starts the war first and this could start third wrold wars and ruins the wrold. Besides, Money and economic come the first nowadays.

If anyone launched a nuke against the US they would know before is even in the air, they probably know where most nukes are stored around the world and if one was launched towards the US i think they would just fire one back and then both would cross paths in the air and hit each country about the same time, it would be useless, no one would win, its a loose loose situation.

Those NK nukes are their "insurance" against military interventions or against a "Korean spring". Even the USA used to think about attacking a bunch of mad dogs armed to the teeth with nukes. Such claims like "use nukes at any time" are more about building the mad dog image then real threats.

[Skeksis]

Do they even have nukes? I'm skeptical. Besides, even if they did and ever used them whatever country they used them on would just retaliate and completely flatten their country anyway. Sadly this will probably have a knock on effect and signal Armageddon but what can you do?

N.Korea is far stronger in military power than our country coz my country is buying 2nd hand military armaments/equipment from U.S. if there are brand new, its only limited/handful.

Yes, they've done three successful underground tests. They also have some background industry, like uranium enrichment, fuel fabrication and plutonium reprocessing facilities. Not sure however if those are still in use and if yes then where. They also building a LWR and the related enrichment facilities on their own.

N.Korea is only talking ... the great powers such as Us Russia etc have the country under control in my opinion .

What country is yours?
If your country is one of the larger countries than I doubt it, because N. Korea receives zero aid from the while almost all other countries on the same side of the US receives aid. Apparently N. Korea has been dealing with weapons and buying them, but still they are not getting funded by the US.

We need to send Kim a few boxes of Snickers, he's too cranky...

I agree wuth you, but why not bitcoins?
Or a bulk of golds, so we can launch a gold plated nuclear missile into his home
(Ps: It's a joke, no offense okay )

I think that mr. Putin wouldn't be too concerned if N.Korea launches a missile against USA

But as far as N.Korea and her nuclear threats I think its all about forcing some negotiations about sanctions and food aid. The country is very poor and with technological backwardness they have all sorts of problems. Also to keep people of N.Korea under regime Kim Jong Un must always find some imaginary threats. That way people are willing to sacrifice themselves for the nation and their leader.
