If the balloon goes up, I expect (and hope) the first sign will be the on orbit destruction of the two Nork satellites that pass over the continental US. I bet Act's buddies are shadowing every Nork sub all the time, too

Depends on what they consider about the seriousness of the threat.
Generally, diesel/electrics are considered a local threat. Hard to find on electric, but easy to find when they snorkel.
Adding a mushroom seeder to it though, considerably changes the threat analysis.

Our troops on the Korean peninsula are stopping the south from going north and crushing the fat little dictator as much as keeping the north out. If the balloon goes up we'll have to run to keep up; but things will get very messy for bit that's for sure.

That has to just be a fascinating culture study. I'm fairly familiar with how the North informs their people and has them brainwashed into the Kim-as-divine thing, but I've never seen much about how the South views the North. Are they that raring to go?

My sister-in-law lives in Busan South Korea. The South Korean people see the North as backward "Hicks" an want little to do with them. The Government seems only a bit more sympathetic.

I don't know a whole lot, I just don't want any nuclear weapons launched. Doesn't seem like anyone wins when that happens.

Not true at all! Funeral homes, casket companies, florists, haz mat related companies, construction companies. Nukes are the finest urban renewal tools we have.

I got a similar feeling when I was in the ROK in 92-93. Germany had recently re-unified and I don't think the ROK wanted anything to do with rebuilding the disaster that is nk. I do wonder about some of their elected officials and what they are thinking.

Not sure you really nead caskets when people get nuked.
Depends how far away they are from ground zero I guess, even then you would want lead caskets.

China likes NorK to be a thorn in our side. But only a small thorn.

Best possible solution would be for the Chinese to do for the little maniac, less messy for us

 

[T.Lex]

I'd bet dollars to donuts there's another mini maniac in discussions with the Chinese to become the next puppet.

Calls up images of the scene in Quantum of Solace where the Dominic Greene character is verbally sparring with the general

"You should know something about me and the people I work with. We deal with the left and the right, dictators or liberators. If the current president had been more agreeable, I wouldn't be talking to you. So if you decide not to sign, you'll wake up with your b*lls in your mouth and your willing replacement standing over you... if you doubt that, then shoot me, take that money and have a good night's sleep."

Wonder if China is hurting and would like to stop propping up the NorKs. Reunification would mean they wouldn't have to support them anymore and would open up actual markets.
