We have a 1000s of artillery pieces all pointing at Ipswich, so don't. | |

I think a good shelling might be just what our waterfront needs! Clear the decks so to speak! | |

Utterly bonkers article, with no understanding of the vulnerability of South Korea in the middle of all this. Massively populated. Hugely developed. Seoul is very close to the border and would be hugely impacted by (at best) fallout and (at worst) retialiatory action. | |

I nearly spat my beer out when i read it, but hes apparently a professor and probably indicative of how some are thinking. "Lets do em' now because a combo of the history of nuclear near-misses and geography make a nuclear war certain in any case" - wow. | |

"Nuke North Korea now: It's the only option" on 17:08 - Sep 7 with 5295 views | Guthrum | Insanity. And no, there's no chance the missile will be nuclear-tipped. An atmospheric test of a missile-delivered warhead would cross red lines for so many people (including China), that it would be to invite immediate disaster. | |

Do you not think they might be tempted to prove that they can combine the whole thing and point it at the ocean somewhere? Not doubting you, but it seems the logical final step for them. | |

It most certainly would be the final step for them. Possibly not in the way they wanted though. SB | |

No. Short of launching something directly at Seoul or Guam, it would be the fastest way of Kim Jong Un being removed from power - probably by the Chinese to preempt the USA doing it. | |

fair enough, but why is that? I'm probably being dumb, but if they've done the icbm bit and huge nuke test bit, why does putting them together change everything? Is it just that final removal of doubt for everyone else? [Post edited 7 Sep 2017 17:22]

Empty threat. We all know your artillery piece is pointed at your sister. Who is also your auntie. | |

There's a big difference between an underground test, which limits radiation leakage and an open-air detonation, spreading fallout over a wide area. Against all sorts of international laws. Not to mention being grossly provocative. It's also not sensible from a testing point of view. Other countries can gain a lot of info about the materials and internal workings of a nuclear weapon by gathering and analysing samples. Very embarrassing and wasteful of scarce materials if something goes wrong. Also, I strongly suspect the pictures shown on NK tv were not the actual test device. | |

(No subject) on 18:33 - Sep 7 with 5127 views | Yaffle | This fellow from the 'Chief Economists Department' at LSE has written possibly the worst piece of 'journalism' I have had the misfortune to read in a very long time. In the interest of balance, I found this an entirely more rational and considered perspective. https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/09/06/end-games-the-apocalyptic-trope-that-swa "...even if there were some kind of war between the US and North Korea, it would not remotely lead to anything like the “end of the world.” The US has thousands of immediately launchable nuclear weapons; North Korea has, er, none. And even if you believe Pyongyang’s propaganda (and if you swallow it about their nuclear weapons program, why not believe their BS about the happy workers’ paradise they have there?), you’re still left with the fact that North Korea might be able to put a weapon on a missile at some point in the future. OK, then they could possibly lob this missile (or heck, two or three of them, maybe) in the direction of the United States — which, we assume, would just stand back and watch this happen, despite having North Korea absolutely blanketed with surveillance and having the ability to destroy any launcher the instant it reared skyward. And then North Korea would be obliterated by a US retaliation." | | | |

"Nuke North Korea now: It's the only option" on 22:05 - Sep 7 with 4894 views | Swansea_Blue | I see Trumpy wumpy is softening his position a bit: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/07/donald-trump-north-korea-military- I was listening to an interview with Eliot Cohen (former State Department advisor) this morning who was most damning of any consideration of preemptive action against N Korea, and about the potential impact of more former military generals in the administration. And this is from a staunch conservative and supporter of the Iraq War. I mention that because he described trump as "a rotten character. A liar, a bully, an ignoramus and a demagogue. And that's just the beginning of the list. He is a reprehensible human being.". A great description I thought! | |

I strongly recommend https://consortiumnews.com for news on North Korea at present. The independent journalists who comment on North Korea are streets ahead of anything coming from the Guardian or the BBC at present. Definitely worth a look. | |
