southsider2k5 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Upping the crazy another notch... http://www.theatlanticwire.com/global/2013...ts-tokyo/64163/ "North Korea warned Japan Friday that Tokyo would be the first target in the event of a war on the Korean Peninsula if it continues to maintain its hostile posture," reports South Korea's Yonhap News Agency this morning in America, by way of a report from the DPRK's state-run Korean Central News Agency. "Japan always remains a target of the DPRK's revolutionary armed forces. Once Japan makes even a slight provocation against the DPRK, the former will be hard hit before any others," the report adds.

Soxbadger Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Jenks, Kim just is an MMO fan so he likes to deck his females out in hot gear. No one has told him this is real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenksismyhero Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) So this is old but for some reason 60 minutes replayed it this last Sunday (yes, i'm 52 and like to watch 60 minutes) and I found it utterly amazing. They interviewed a guy that escaped from a North Korean labor camp. There's actually a thing called generational punishment there. This guys dad and grandfather fought in the Korean war, so they were put into a camp. As a "gift" for good behavior, his dad was able to "marry" his mom (kept separate, but allowed to see each other when a guard noted they exhibited good behavior). He was born in the camp and grew up there for the first 23 years of his life. The generational punishment is basically to kill of any lineage of someone that defied the supreme leader (even though odd that they're allowed to have kids in the camp). This kid saw some brutal stuff - kids being beaten to death for taking too many kernels of corn, people being executed on a routine basis and having to watch, etc. It's a complete mind trip since he had no idea what "love" meant. He had no idea what family actually meant. He said watching the executions was actually a good part of his day because it was something different. Turns out this guy actually turned his mother and brother in for some rules violation and they were executed (after he himself was tortured), and he felt no emotion about it at the time. He knew it was the "right" thing to do because of how he was brought up in the camp. Just an amazing story. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=50136263n I hate playing the world's police, but this s*** just can't be allowed in the world in 2013. We should be bombing the s*** out of every NK government building and liberating these people. I know realistically we can't, but it's pretty sickening that we continue to appease Kim Jung Un with food and supplies and whatnot when he's treating his people this way.

StrangeSox Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Bombing the s*** out of NK will result in 1) lots of dead NK's 2) lots of dead SK's, also possibly Japanese. Hundreds of thousands if not millions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Sometimes there is no answer that isn't complete s***. Sanctions don't really punish the people at the top, they punish millions of civilians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
