North Korea: Kim Jong-un orders nuclear weapons readied for use "at any time"

[xuan87]

I think most of the nation also has a nuclear weapon, and if it used for defense I think that is fair reason but if it used to threatening other country then i am disagree

so I think north korea doesnt do anything that break the law

EXACTLY!

All that talk is just bulsheat US propaganda about potencional threat.
Same story was about iraqi weapons of mass destruction..
Only treat here i see NAto bombs and US military bases all over the world ready for spreading of democracy.

He´s only a real threat to U.S. vassals in the area which helps keep them obedient. The absolutely last thing the U.S. govt. wants is to destroy that cozy arrangement and so they´ll keep  barking occasionally like they´ve done forever and leave it at that.

Knowing the Americans really well, they wouldn't really care if the DPRK nukes either South Korea or Japan (as long as the radiation fallout stays clear of the American military bases). The South Koreans and the Japanese are just cannon fodder for the Americans (just like the Europeans and Turks, who are cannon fodder for a war against Russia). Kim also regards his citizens as cannon fodder.

This is my problem. The Americans will provoke a war, and the Koreans and the Japs will lose their lives.

That little guy just doesn't know when to quit. Still no one is invading North Korea. The US isn't there to "free" the people. Maybe they do not have enough oil or natural resources in order for them to qualify for freedom.

This is wrong!  

They already had a war influenced by US. This Korean war divided country on half on democratic and communist.
( Whole world was divided once.)
They are ready because they know what will happen to them for their opposition to US.

North Korea might not be having huge deposits of crude oil and natural gas, but they are blessed with trillions of USD worth of rare earth metal deposits (including Cerium, Europium, and Gadolinium). Right now, China is having complete monopoly over the rare earth production, and this is causing problems for the manufacturing units in the United States and Japan. If these deposits can be acquired by the American corporations, then they will be able to make good amounts of profit.

I don't worry so much about Kim Jong-un and N. Korea.
Kim Jong-un is well aware about his own situation and limitations and using nuclear weapons as tactics to scare neighbors and to receive more support and help from international community for his country.
His country urgently need economic and humanitarian aid.
Nuclear weapons are also means to get more respect in his own country.
It's all politic and strategic game, nothing else.
He will never attack anybody, and everybody know it.

South Korea is a baloon blown up by China and Russia. It is a closed box and it may collapse like Soviet Union.

[bryant.coleman]

South North Korea is a baloon blown up by China and Russia. It is a closed box and it may collapse like Soviet Union.

Outsiders are under-estimating the military power of the DPRK. They are having an active military strength of at least 700,000 (some claim 1.2 million) soldiers, plus some 3.5 million reservists. Their ballistic missiles can reach up to Taiwan, Alaska and Hawaii. In addition to all this, they are in the possession of an unknown number of nuclear weapons.

[anon_giraffe]

Do the Saudi's now also have nuclear weapons?

"“We have nuclear bombs”: this is what was said on February 19 on Russia Today by the Saudi political analyst, Daham al-Anzi, de facto spokesman for Riyadh."

They have old, technology weapons like Saddam's Scuds. Manpower can't win a war in today's war technology. The main thing is economical power. By the way i said it South Korea mistakely. It should been North Korea

[Newmba]

Of course nobody invades them. What are the financial gains?    War is never about morality or good cause.

[aardvark15]

The US not only has nothing to gain by attacking them, but we are fighting in to many other countries right now.  We are spread too thin.

This is exactly why I said that you are under-estimating the military power of the DPRK. Unlike the Iraqi forces under Saddam, the Korean People's Army is not equipped with obsolete and inaccurate weapons. Their military technology is very advanced, and they have developed some of the best weapons (outside the superpowers) available in Asia. And they have sold them to various terrorist groups and dictatorships in exchange for funds. The annual military budget is around $6 billion, which is almost 10 times that of the Iraqi forces under Saddam.

Us war machine requires constant wars in order to make money from the production of weapons.
 American officials constantly pointing out that America has interests around the world and that they must defend them.

"Across the country, the war-based economy can be seen in an industry which includes everything from Homeland Security educational degrees to counter-terrorism consultants to private-run preferred traveller programmes for airport security gates."

"The business of war is profitable. In 2011, the 100 largest contractors sold $410 billion in arms and military services. Just 10 of those companies sold over $208 billion."
