@FBM, this might seem silly to say, but can't you just leave the place?

LBFMs.

@ Tigg: Yeah, I could leave, but...then I'd miss the war! If I survived, I'd have some great stories to tell!!! Just think of the photo ops!!

I'll be a refugee at that point. Not sure how much beer I'll be able to buy...

You can get out of buying if you can replace the lighting on the deck.

I'll probably glow in the dark at that point, so no problem. I'll just stand there.

If you don't we could still wrap you ropes and dip you in pitch, like the Romans did.

The Romans never did that to me. That was a vicious rumor.

They just admitted they don't have a delivery system for nukes.

Say what now?

I kinda doubt their nukes are so bulky they can't get one onto one of their missiles. Most of these would do:

Nevermind South Korea and Japan - the one on the right could hit the US, possibly even the east coast. What's more questionable is how powerful their fission bombs are. The one they tested in 2006 was, compared to even the Hiroshima bomb, damn weak.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Okay, they don't have a reliable delivery system.

[FBM]

Ian, from what I've read, the technology required to make a nuke small enough to put on a missile is considerably more difficult than what it takes to simply make a bang, and they've only make a couple of small bangs so far...which is why I suspect that those bangs may have been of the backpack variety. The estimations of their TNT tonnage are eerily similar, don't you think?

Yes, and it's a particularly disturbing thought. The North might have obsolete air power and missiles of some questionable reliability, but one thing they can do great is infiltrate commandos into South Korea. Tones of practice at that.

(BTW - The article that missiles picture came from says the TD-2's max range barely scrapes Alaska. That's actually old information. Newer versions have been worked on, but that picture was the first nice image I found to illustrate my point.)

No shit. I got here in June of '96. September, all kinds of shit broke loose wrt NK commandos...

They barely got one to go far enough to land in water, tho.
