So Dennis Rodman is a hostage now?

OP: yes.
More preferably, let SEAL Team Six ninja themselves in, retroactively late-late-late-term abort that oversized fetus, and tell Korea to sac up, roll in, and reintroduce their cousins to, you know, food.

Seal Team Six is on the way :'(

At first I though NK's recent aggression was just Lil Kim 2.0 demonstrating to his people/military that he wasn't no chump. Now...I have no idea what's going on. China is supporting sanctions though, even they realize this guy is a fuck up.
While NK would quickly be destroyed if the did a thing stupid, unfortunately they'd be able to turn Seoul into a parking lot first.
-
This is all Dennis Rodman's fault!
Whoda thought sending rodman as our ambassador would have ended poorly

we should probably nuke anything Dennis Rodman has come in contact with.

I don't think we would nuke NK even if they attempted to nuke us. We could bomb their artillery and military bases to rubble with cruise missiles and a more traditional bombing campaign. Even smaller range nukes would have a negative impact on South Korea and China.
I'd imagine China would close their borders and shoot any refugees that got close, which would be ugly. Likewise SK, fresh off Seoul getting blasted, sure as he'll would have no interest in feeding refugees. And lord knows we don't want to rebuild NK, nor would China be happy about us doing so. I don't know what would be done about the NK people.

Weren't there some Wikileaks cables that came out that said China agreed with the US that if anything happened the US would take the lead on rebuilding NK?

Wut, didn't hear that. Seems odd they'd be ok with us putting new military bases so close to them.

From what I understand, any attack on North Korea would mean a counterattack and lots of dead people in South Korea too.
As crazy as the regime seems, the threat of retaliation has kept it in check so far, so I'd rather not jump the gun. "That guy seems bad, let's attack him" doesn't have a fantastic track record.

They don't "seem" bad. It's pretty confirmed that they have some nazi style labor camps, we just don't know the full extent and implications. It's more about the counter-attack.

Oh hey I was just talking about this with somebody yesterday. N Korea's current regime needs to go and needed to go a few years back. Their stupid alliance with China is the main reason we haven't really stepped in and they're kind of sick of NK's shit at this point so I'd imagine something will go down with them in the fairly near future.

Their alliance with China is pretty dubious at this point. It's definitely more the fact that they could level Seoul within 10 minutes of the faintest whiff of aggression.

At this point it's entirely possible that Dennis Rodman is the North Korean Dennis Rodman.
In which case we'd need a dunk-off between Dennis Rodman and the American Dennis Rodman, Chris "Birdman" Anderson.

N. Korea severs communication hotline with S. Korea
SEOUL, March 11 (Yonhap) -- North Korea severed the inter-Korean communication hotline that runs through the truce village of Panmunjom following its threat to do so last week, South Korea's unification ministry said Monday.
The ministry said the North seems to have disconnected the emergency link set up to ensure prompt two-way communication to deal with any sudden developments along the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas. It said attempts to contact the North by telephone at 9 a.m. failed.

Thanks for freaking me out for no reason, North Korea.

So NK is not picking up the hotline with SA anymore huh. Maybe they just didn't pay their bills.
-
NK is like the screaming 5-year-old who doesn't want to sit at the kids' table during the big family dinner.
...Except nobody really sure if Mr. China, at the grown-ups table, is going to get upset if someone give NK a trip to the woodshed, AND it's just possible NK brought his uncle's gun to dinner with him.

North Korea has submitted yet another entry to its ongoing propaganda film festival. This time, it has released a video that threatens an attack on U.S. forces using "powerful weapons of mass destruction" and depicts an invasion of Seoul in which 150,000 American citizens are taken hostage.
Posted on North Korea's official Uriminzokkiri website and YouTube channel, the video comes less than a week after one showing the White House in its crosshairs and the explosion of the U.S. Capitol building.
The film, titled "A Short, Three-Day War," opens with rockets firing into South Korea from the north followed by thousands of North Korean troops crossing the border.
"The crack storm troops will occupy Seoul and other cities and take 150,000 U.S. citizens as hostages," a narrator says in a voice-over, according to a translation by the Telegraph.
Last month, North Korea produced a bizarre video of a dream sequence that imagined a U.S. city resembling New York under an apparent missile attack and the Empire State Building shown in flames. The soundtrack to that three-and-a-half-minute video was an instrumental version of "We Are the World," and the attack footage appeared to have been taken from the video game "Modern Warfare 3." It was eventually removed from YouTube.

Part of this is him showing the NK military command that he's like his father, but you can only sabre rattle for so long before your words become worthless. Likewise SK's new president seems quite adamant on not taking any shit. So if Lil Kim wants to bomb that small fishing island like his dad did then who knows what will happen.
Ultimately NK has a good scam going on and should be able to keep it going; drug money keeps the high class families living well while everyone else starves. I agree that Kim likely won't fuck all that up. But whereas his father actually saw war close up and knew the power of the US/Nato/etc, Lil Kim apparently has no fucking idea. He's been brainwashed from day one and surrounded by idiots. That's a dangerous mix.

Meanwhile, Russia upping military prepared-ness and China sabre rattling with Japan and just about everyone else over absolutely everything they can. WW3 is but a few stupid choices away.

You're assuming that if war was to break out that China and Russia would hold NK responsible. They're both condemning the US as well for antagonizing NK. Allowing the US to leave a footprint in NK complicates geopolitics in the East at a time when it's already getting tense from the US shifting their strategy to the Asia Pacific region.
I'm not saying WW3 will necessarily happen from it. And I think war is very unlikely despite the sabre rattling. But shit will get very tense between the US, China and Russia as everyone decides who gets to exert their influence via the united Korean peninsula.

State media: North Korea in 'state of war' with South, threatens to 'dissolve' U.S.
"Any issues regarding North and South will be treated in accordance to the state of war," the report said. "... The condition, which was neither war nor peace, has ended."
Saturday's report included a direct threat to the United States, while also asserting Pyongyang "will not limit (itself) to limited warfare but to all-out war and nuclear war."
"We will first target and dissolve mainland United States, Hawaii and Guam, and United States military based in South Korea. And the (South Korean presidential office) will be burned to the ground," the KCNA report said.
http://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/29/world/asia/north-korea-us-threats/index.html
A South Korean source says there’s been a sharp increase in personnel and vehicle movement at the North’s mid- and long-range missile sites as tension on the divided peninsula rises.
The revelation, which the Yonhap news agency attributes to an unidentified South Korean military official, came after North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un ordered preparations for strategic rocket strikes on US targets following US stealth bomber training runs over South Korea.

N. Korea vows actual military actions
SEOUL, April 4 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's military announced Thursday that it would take a series of military actions against the United States.
In a statement, the North's supreme military command said it is formally notifying the White House and the Pentagon that "reckless operations" involving cutting-edge nuclear weapons have been finally approved.
this is so weird.

According to a Japanese news show, China is angry with the USA for "provoking" North Korea.
I was talking with my wife about this the other night, and this was the analogy I made for her: The world is a neighborhood block. In the middle of the street Li'l Kim is shouting obscenities and threatening violence against the neighbors. A group of teenagers and men go down and surround the kid. They're not doing anything, but they don't know whether or not to take him seriously. Meanwhile the old lady down the block, Mrs. China, is yelling from her upstairs window, "DON'T YOU DO ANYTHING TO THAT KID. LEAVE HIM ALONE. YOU ARE BOTHERING THAT KID."
Seriously, wtf.
-
An analogy both apt and hilarious.
-
Isn't the China thing based off some anti-UN batshit dude's article?
http://freebeacon.com/border-patrol/
-
China isn't down the street from NK, however. They have the second most to lose from conflict with the regime, and in their eyes the status quo is much more preferable to any real response.
-
Then grandma should tell the kid to STFU, come inside and avoid those big mean boys who don't like being threatened. Grandma knows you are a big tough boy, and here, have a brownie.
-
I mean, this is the kid who has a soap box racer, and keeps shouting, "Come one, motherfuckers! Think you're cool? I will race your Trans Am and Camaro and Mustangs in this sports car of MY OWN CREATION! BEHOLD!"
-
This isn't the first time China have moved troops to their border - the point isn't to support NK, it's to stop the XX million starving refugees that would pour through the border if Kim Joung One decides to pull the trigger of the gun in his mouth.
IF this all kicks off the whole of the NK army is massed on the south border - i'd expect China to make an incursion in from the North to set up a buffer zone/land grab to prevent the US having a strategic base right on its door step. I can't see China wanting to get involved with the US - they might get a bit more angry with Japan over territory though whilst the US is distracted i guess.
I suspect though that China and the US are already discussing what will happen - today though NKorea have really stepped over the mark and i can't see any way back for them. Threatening the US is one thing, actively putting them on warning that they have rattified action to nuke them and spark a war? Yeah - that's not going to end well. The next US move is going to be interesting - i think the Kim family just fast tracked themselves down the Iraq/Libya route.
-
I'm against war and, for that matter, regime engineering through accelerated Darwinism. But I am really hoping this leads to that little turd from a family of turds, royalty pretending to be communists, being flushed down the shitter.

Officials ‘Whatever’ After North Korea Threat
Headline fixed :teehee
-
I still believe this is just Kim flexing for the military brass/command, and in a couple months he'll declare that NK has defeated the US/SK in a major conflict.
If he's not bluffing...thoughts/prayers for SK. I remember reading about a wargame from 2005 where a perfect US response would still result in at least 100,000 South Korean casualties. My only question: if North Korea were to launch a nuclear attack on South Korea, would the US respond with nuclear weapons? Even the most tactical nuclear attack would result in a shit ton of fallout and of course impact non-proliferation. I'd imagine such an extreme act on North Korea's part would have to be met with an overwhelming response, not just to disable the country's artillery/military but to send a message to the world. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ausPKEMVk0)
Personally I think the US wouldn't use nukes, and instead use something like the MOAB.

That's kinda my thinking, too. North Korea isn't the USSR, there's no need to respond to an NK nuke with nukes of our own, especially with lots of allied countries in the immediate vicinity.

It's more like the North and South are a couple where one partner (NK) is always threatening and sometimes even hitting the other (SK) and usually the rest of the block ignores it but one day you (the US) go over and say "STOP IT OR MAYBE I MIGHT JUST DO SOMETHING" and then China says you're being a provoker.

The headline is "Anonymous Hacks North Korean Twitter, Flickr Accounts" but the story says they have people in NK and real internet set up in some spots, which seems like, oh, i dunno, a billion times bigger of a story.
The part about the people of NK rising up is pretty stupid though and reveals that cute Anonymous naivete. This is like telling Jews in a concentration camp to just fight back at the nazis.

Nothing's going to happen.
Kim Jong Un is just showing how hardcore he is to the NK military. If he didn't do something like this, due to his lack of credibility and respect, there probably would have been some military coup by now.
Can't link on my iPod right now but there was a report that an attempt was made on his life last year; it allegedly related to the demotion of a general.

My main concern is that someone who takes this brinksmanship seriously will find himself in the position to do something. A lot of Republicans seemed to want to hold the line on the debt ceiling. Is the NK that much more rational than Republicans?
But yeah, while I might be a little worried if I lived in SK, I can't imagine NK doing anything apart from some accident.

Yeah a country with nuclear weapons can't get any of them digital cameras. It's probably a regular citizen who had a hand-me-down, or maybe it's one of them NK agitprop dudes trying to go all Robert Rodriguez but can't afford the post-processing.

Unless North Korea wants to be annihilated, its leadership has to find a way to climb down from its current wave of provocative rhetoric. But one of the CIA’s former top Pyongyang analysts thinks dictator Kim Jong-un will order a limited strike on South Korea — as a way to actually tamp down hostilities.
“North Korea will launch an attack,” predicts Sue Mi Terry, a Columbia University professor who served as a senior analyst on North Korea at the CIA from 2001 to 2008. The attack won’t be nuclear, she thinks, nor will it be a barrage from the massive amounts of artillery Pyongyang has aimed south.
Instead, Terry believes, “it will be something sneaky and creative and hard to definitively trace back to North Korea to avoid international condemnation and immediate retaliation from Washington or Seoul.” This, she thinks, is what counts as de-escalation in 2013 from the new regime in Pyongyang: a relatively small attack that won’t leave many people dead.
North Korea’s bluster waxes and wanes so often that it’s hard to know what to take seriously. But in recent years, North Korea has shown a willingness to follow its rhetoric with actual violence. In March 2010, it sunk the South Korean corvette Cheonan, killing 46 sailors. That November, Pyongyang attacked the island of Yeonpyeongdo during a U.S.-South Korea military exercise. Today, it moved an intermediate-range missile to its east coast, seemingly a feint at Japan.
“Something like Cheonan is more likely than an artillery strike like the November 2010 shelling of Yeonpyeong Island, because it lessens the chance of a definite retaliatory strike by the South,” Terry assesses.
You might not know it from the American debate about North Korea, but Pyongyang has to strike a difficult balance. Regime survival is the top priority of the militaristic nation, Terry believes, so it’s got to signal strength to its own populace while not provoking either the South or the U.S. into a devastating war. “An all-out war with South Korea would spell the end of the North Korean regime,” she says. “Pyongyang knows this and wants to avoid it.”
That right there points to the dangers of miscalculation. South Korea didn’t respond to the Cheonan. But new president Park Geun Hee is “determined not to echo that weakness and has vowed a strong response to any direct provocation,” writes regional expert Patrick Cronin. Terry thinks President Obama will restrain South Korea from a major reprisal — and she wouldn’t “bomb Pyongyang” in any case — but Washington “won’t be making any significant gestures to the North,” either.
The Obama administration’s goal seems to be to give North Korea diplomatic room to climb down without making substantive concessions. It’s sent bombers, fighter jets and guided-missile destroyers to the Korean peninsula, and ordered a missile-defense system to Guam. But, as the Wall Street Journal reported, the administration is “dialing back the aggressive posture” so Pyongyang doesn’t think an attack is the only way the current tensions can end.
North Korea tends to bluster about attacks it can’t deliver, against foes that could destroy it — albeit at terrible cost, measured in Korean lives. And intelligence assessments are hardly crystal balls.
But if Terry’s assessment proves accurate, the erratic standoff might get worse before it gets better. “While Washington and Seoul tries to figure out next steps, the North will then engage in a ‘peace offensive’, after a deadly attack, to pressure Washington and Seoul to return to [diplomatic] talks,” she says. But it’s hard to predict either capitol’s willingness to talk if the North starts firing its weapons.

Mirrors my thoughts. Who knows what South Korea would do in this case, or whether the US could convince them to back down.
