NKorea severs all ties with SKorea "ordered its 1.2 million military to get ready for combat"
 
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100525/...rea_ship_sinks
"Tensions were rising on the divided Korean peninsula in the wake of an investigation report blaming North Korea for a torpedo attack that sank the Cheonan warship on March 26, killing 46 South Korean sailors."

"one Seoul-based monitoring agency reported that North Korea's leader ordered its 1.2 million-member military to get ready for combat. South Korean officials could not immediately confirm the report."

Didn't realize NK military was that large, now i know why Bush never fucked with them even though they were "axis of evil" and all that crap.

1.2 million soldiers... DAMN :(

Caligari 05-25-2010 08:16 AM

Looks like they're either going to do it, or they will simply keep taunting each other for the next century. Taunting would be better.

Can you imagine they are both blasting propaganda at each other with huge sound systems on the border, it must be fucking insane.

L-Pink 05-25-2010 08:18 AM

What scares me is the advancing age of guys like Kim Jong and Kadafi ... Guys like this get a terminal disease or major health problems just might decide to go out with a bang.

This is from 2007:

1. China - 1,700,000
2. India - 1,200,000
3. North Korea - 900,000
4. South Korea - 560,000
5. Pakistan - 520,000
6. United States - 475,000
7. Iraq - 360,000 - Pre-2003, of course.
8. Myanmar - 325,000
9. Russia - 320,000
10. Iran - 320,000

If you have enough canon fodder you can go a long way Russia proved that in WWII and North Vietnam as well.

That is amazing, if those ratios are similar now that would mean NK has double the troops that U.S. does and considerably more than South Korea.
In other words they do have sufficient military might for just about anyone.

It's not the head count that matters though. What matters is striking distance and air dominance. There is no place on Earth we can't touch with precision weapons and invisible planes, and we own the skies. For NK, having a starving 1.2 million man military only means there will be more dead people than necessary.

It's no longer about the numbers of troops you have. It's about how well they're trained and the equipment they have.

The downside is N. Korea has a nuclear bomb.

True, but they do have one very important thing...long range nukes. doesnt matter how weak their army actually is, they do have "striking distance." And i am afraid they would not hesitate in using them.

What? I'll take training and equipment over numbers any day.

The United States military has 1.5 million members in active-duty. Then you have reservists and all of the other options. Granted we are spread pretty thin at the moment, but between what we have left, South Korea, Japan... add in the elite training and equipment from all three countries... yeh, my money is on North Korea getting torched unless China and Russia want to step in. China might depending on the circumstances, Russia probably wouldn't.

Those stats are way off. The US Marines alone has some 200k under arms, plus another 50k in the reserves. Wikipedia puts the figures at 1.4 mil under arms, plus another 1.4 mil in the reserves - which puts the US at the second largest military force in the world.

Well, assuming he got them launched and they hit their targets without being destroyed first, even that crazy little dictator has to realize it would be his last act in this world and the end of his little empire. The unbridled fury & punishment that would fall on NK would be legendary, even by U.S. standards.

Your on crack.

Here in the United States we like to think we won WWII and our contribution was so huge, but the truth was it Russia's numbers is what won the war. Russia just over ran Germany with sheer numbers. Take a look at how many people Russia lost during WWII - some twenty million people? And they STILL beat down the Germans.

Zango 05-25-2010 09:11 AM

With 1.2 million... they could simply yell CHARGE! and do some serious damage.

Fletch XXX 05-25-2010 09:12 AM

what i thought was the funniest thing about this development of this situation is after the torpedo attack: White house came out and said "we do not consider this an act of war."

Since when is blasting a torpedo into another country vessel not an act of war? LOL

Seems the US didnt learn from the USS Libery incident at all. never forget the Liberty incident: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Liberty_incident Shows how US will put its own soldiers under rug for foreign relations.

You strike a country vessel prepare to go to war in my eyes.

You are comparing North Korea to Germany? Germany was pushing technology, hard. North Korea is buying technology and they have China to help with technology, but it's still no Germany.

That is true, but even if they didnt hit their exact targets it wouldn't matter, millions would die. Then maybe US would nuke NK? They would obliterate NK and in doing so destroy SK and more.
I believe the original hiroshima nuke was a one ton bomb. Of course a mega ton is 1000 times the size and we are talking 10 and 20 mega ton bombs. US has some 50 mega ton bombs.
Even on a comparatively small scale nuclear exchange, this is a no win scenario.

I really doubt we would ever nuke NK. The south would suffer from that too. But I'm sure our carriers, subs & bombers would be working round the clock to pound them into dust.

I really hope this is the case.

I do believe a large portion of the NK people probably want their leader terminated as much as everyone else and they should really try to do something about it from the inside, and as quickly as possible.

"The U.S. has thrown its full support behind South Korea's moves and they are planning two major military exercises off the Korean peninsula in a display of force intended to deter future aggression by North Korea, the White House said. The U.S. has 28,500 troops in South Korea. "

every once in a while, NK just needs a reminder.

Russia did play a major part in the war - and in fact they were what started turning the tide against Germany (they're also the ones who stormed Berlin!). BUT, Russia had a huge advantage over N. Korea (and Germany) : fuck-off cold-ass winters that froze many Germans to death.

Besides, warfare is much different now than it was back then. I'm not saying it was trench warfare (a la WWI), but now we've got precision missiles, planes you can't hear/see/detect, PLUS most countries in the world would side AGAINST N. Korea.

Our involvement in WWII is what transformed us into the superpower we are today. If the U.S. hadn't gotten involved, Europe would look very different today.

Google is your friend.

"Nuke tons" are not the weight of the bomb but the explosive power of the bomb
expressed as the equivalent of TNT.

A 1 ton nuke would be like dropping 1 ton on TNT(dynamite).

Doesn't it seem stupid to go through all the trouble to build a nuke when you can
just drop a fucking box of TNT weighing a ton?

Doesn't it also seem completely stupid that we have a plane that could actually
get off the fucking ground with something in it that weighed 50 Mega tons?

The Hiroshima bomb :
It exploded with a destructive power equivalent to between 13 and 18 kilotons of TNT
