North Korea has announced it's about to carry out a third nuclear test and more long-range rocket launches, which it says are designed to target the United States.
"We are not disguising the fact that the various satellites and long-range rockets that we will fire and the high-level nuclear test we will carry out are aimed at the United States," North Korea's National Defense Commission says.
Pyongyang now threatens to wage a “fully-fledged confrontation'' against the US for what they call continued hostility.
The declaration follows the UN Security Council's condemnation of North Korea on Tuesday and expanded sanctions against the regime for launching a rocket in December. North Korea has always claimed the launch was a peaceful satellite mission, but the US and others say it was actually a test of long-range missile technology.
Japan states North Korea does not yet have the technology to create compact nuclear warheads, but its missiles are already advanced enough to reach the US West Coast. The latest report published by Japanese observers, states the North Korean missile program has attained a new high and poses a grave threat.
The North was banned from developing missile and nuclear technology under sanctions dating from its 2006 and 2009 nuclear tests.
The international concern now is that Pyongyang may for the first time use highly-enriched uranium, versus the plutonium used in previous tests that had limited success.
North Korea does not give a time-frame of when they intend to undertake the threatened nuclear test.
The US has already called on the North to not carry out its third test.
"We hope they don't do it. We call on them not to do it," Glyn Davies, the top US envoy for North Korean diplomacy, said in the South Korean capital, Seoul.
If they want a war, we'll give it to them.

Nobody would win a nuclear exchange and the fallout would be catastrophic. But maybe North Korea is willing to die for their "cause" if they can take a bunch of us with them. Scary stuff.

Those nuclear missilies would get intercepted before they even reach the USA.

And it's funny how people are asking the same question over and over again. "What did we do to them?' Have they learned nothing in History class?

I say we "test" out a few missile and see if it reaches over there.
Prepare for meltdowns if these next gen console rumors are true. Phase 1: Denial. Phase 2: Mask a lie under "opinion" vs a fact. Phase 3: Bring up the PS3/360 era when it has nothing to do with the subject. Phase 4: Say that the power gap doesn't matter but constantly defend the weaker specs.

So then, is it safe to say, that if we should have a third world war, it will be with N. Korea?

wait wait wait, you all are actually falling for this... I am shocked that this has actually made it on to the forum
I know i report a lot, but this is not deemed any attention for anyone. This is not even a threat to south Korea let a lone the U.S
Come on, really thinking North Korea would attack the U.S, it is all bullshitLast edited by claud3; 01-24-2013 at 08:07.

North Korea makes threats all the time. This is statistically likely to be another empty one. This doesn't mean they don't plan to inevitably attack, which I think will happen eventually. North Korea isn't (totally) ass-backwards; they realize our ultimate goal is to wait long enough for their nation to collapse from internal decay. They may choose to go down in glory before that happens. But any sort of attack or initiated war would be wholly impractical and North Korea would be dismantled by the end of the month.

Jesus they will never attack any country and not even south korea... Because the attack on North Korea would wipe them out in one go and this would never happen
Because the U.S and others need north korea

you really having a day off
The attacks on both sides, were just warnings
And you would be surprised how important North Korean is in the region

Attacks on civilians and soldiers are not warnings. Technically speaking South and North Korea are still at war, and their agreed ceasefire is entirely a misnomer. North Korea is only important to its region in that it's a danger. They're largely introverted and rarely trade or create deals beyond their borders. Don't name China; China does not support the regime in North Korea nor do they particularity care for the nation itself. China fears a nuclear arms race may develop and they hold to maintain positive relations. What China looks for is beneficial influence and maintaining neighborly security. If North Korea collapsed right now the region as a whole would breathe easier.
... Except South Korea, because they actually don't want to reintegrate the region as it would wreck their economy.-No Feeble Cheering-

As far as I know north korea is in an alliance with china and russia, I might be wrong though.
