Will North Korea really attack?

Question

Okay, I am legitimately TERRIFIED because I live in Hawaii and that's one of the places that they said they would attack. I am also extremely worried about the civilians of North and South Korea, Guam, and the rest of the US.

The North Korean army said that they would attack using smaller, lighter and diversified nuclear weapons: http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2013/04/201343223032804872.html

Two North Korean submarines disappeared: http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-04-03/two-north-korean-submarines-disappeared

Answer 1

Do you really think North Korea would risk attacking the USA, considering the USA could return the favor and Nuke North Korea into a cigarette ash tray.

Answer 2

No disrespect to the US or in general the world but underestimating a nation (N.Korea) won't make the situation any better, I know the US have used nuclear weapons before (Hiroshima & Nagasaki) and for some reason think no one has the balls to do the same but news flash North Korea may be a ***** compared to the US but at the end of the day they could potentially **** the US up by using nuclear weaons against them, in nuclear war or when you talk about nuclear weapons, it's not about who has the better military force or the number of nuclear weapons but all about who strikes first. Btw the news telling people that N.Korea are 'bluffing' is clear propaganda, I'm sure the US and the UK (the USA's Bit*c) don't want to worry the public.

Answer 3

North Korea is Chinas puppet. China publicly pretends to be against them but north koreas job is to bait the US to attack them, then the US will be fighting in the Middle East and against 3.5 million troops in the Korean Peninsula. China wants to takeout the US as a superpower and world domination. It's a bit far fetched but hey ya never know.



But in all seriousness I think NK will attack SK. I don't know how other countries will react. Btw the US isn't going to nuke South Korea it would affect all of South East Asia and would potentially harm upto half the Worlds population directly and the remaking majority too from the standstill of the manufacturing in the area

Answer 4

Even if they launch missiles they are more likely to target Guam, and by the time this has happened the US and it's allies like the UK and France will have sent missiles to North Korea. The US has 10,000 warheads. N.Korea has 27. Also, there is no evidence to support that North Korea has the ability to put nuclear material in their missiles. The United States also has a maximum missile range of 8,100 miles, North Korea's is 4,000 and is not able to target the US mainland. Although they are able to target Hawaii and Guam, it's unlikely that they will fire any missiles at all.

Answer 5

It's not North Korea that we are worried about. The USA can easily dominate them. It's their political relations that they have with other major powers, like China, that we need to be aware of. World War Two started through the fact that two countries started to have confliction and secondary countries started to take sides, bringing a substantially large amount of world powers into the war. This is what will potentially make for a large scale war that you should be worrying about.

Answer 6

'North Koreans live among all of us' do you think they will plan an attack??.... yes!! today, tomorrow, next year, 5 years, 10 years who knows, it will happen!!. This threat has been amongst us for years, but to think there technology is less superior to ours/yours, your kidding yourselves, they have one of the biggest armies in the world and to think they would fire a 5 ton bomb through the sky which would be shot down or intercepted within an hour of being in the sky. My point being.. they could wipe a population out just by dropping something in the water systems and know one would ever know. Apocalyptic warfare doesn't just consist of firing bombs and dropping nukes. War is around every corner of the earth the problem is you only ever see it when it affects your country!!

Answer 7

NO NO NO NO NO. oh yeah, and no. But seriously, whats in it for NK? its only a stunt in an attempt to get something or some sort of concession, sort of like saying i have a hostage and i will shoot him if you dont give me what i want. but its all a bluff if you think about it. first of all, look at the size of north korea. even if it does attack south korea, guam, or japan, which are three prime targets, the us will respond quickly and ultimately turn north korea into an ashtray. as much as north korea thinks that they are superior and can bully more powerful nations, it is all a bluff. furthermore, this has happened before.



now, if you want to speculate and for giggles think of a different side, i think of world war three. first, korea attacks japan, guam, or south korea. and, if you know your social studies, the us is an ally with south korea and as of WWII protects japan, and of course guam belongs to the us. so, any way you look at it, the us is dragged into war with NK. China, which will defeat the united states in war, will side with north korea. while the united states is hanging on by a thread, the middle eastern nations, seeing as israel does not have the big bad united states protecting it anymore (again, social studies skills us= pals with Israel) iran will finally nuke israel. china and north korea will provide nuclear weapons to the middle eastern nations, much in the same fashion as the us gave stinger missles to the middle eastern nations to fight the soviets. now, while all of this is happening, iceland will develop a rigorous space program and ultimately move to the moon. please excuse the spelling

Answer 8

No. They will attack South Korea very soon it is expected! however the USA is not expected too join as that would start a new world war, as The UK would help America and China would help north korea etc so I'm pretty sure your safe pal :)

Answer 9

Even if they nuke us, we wouldn't "annihilate" them, that would be barbaric. We would probably take out their satellites, their power grids, their food supply and about every other thing we could do that wouldn't result in any "conflicts". Then we would drone their military bases, nuclear factories (which could get ugly) and their navy/air force. Wouldn't be very long before their military capabilities become crippled. And then we would send in small squadrons to kill Kim Jung Un and his Generals. But one thing you people haven't taken into consideration. It doesn't have to be a direct attack. They could send it in any "package" they want. Commercial plane, cargo, through terrorist etc. There are many ways to blows us to ****. This may all be talk, but what if it isn't.

Answer 10

I very much doubt they will but i wouldnt worry to much as there are two ships ofnthe coast what can shoot down missiles and the us has a submarine in south korea with is nuclear armed

Answer 11

I understand why it's scary because you live in Hawaii but I really don't think North Korea is going to attack anyone. Atleast not the states. They aren't that stupid, they could not afford to even feed their army let alone re-supply it if it were in war.



What North Korea does is yell and scream until they get food aid.

Answer 12

No. They clamed they would last week and today/ 4/4/2013 . And that would be suiside if they attacked/we have the best military in the world and we rule the seas with our navy ships. But I'm not an expert. o_O

Answer 13

If they were going to attack it would make FAR more sense for them to invade South Korea conventionally. North Korea has a million man army...we only have about 30k troops in South Korea. To use a nuclear device on anyone would lead to their complete destruction (they are aware of that).

Answer 14

The attack is due Saturday at 13:30 GMT. That would make it about half seven in the morning for the USA. About half 3 in the morning for you!

Answer 15

I live in south korea... why are you scared? The only thing they could do is attack in conventional warfare. the US would win... but millions and millions of south koreans would die in the process, which is the main reason we don't want to fight. I don't see war coming any time soon.. but eventually they'll get desperate enough.

Answer 16

LMAO.... They pull this tantrum EVERY year when the us and south Korea perform military drills... Nothing new.... Only the us has had enuff of the temper tantrum.... Now its time to put little baby in time out.

Answer 17

North Korea will not attack. They might be close enought to hit western coast with a nucular bomb. The thing is it will take 4-5 years to put a nucular bomb on a missle and launch it.

Answer 18

It's probably not a good idea to pick a fight with the big boy on the block

Answer 19

Yes they will, they have nuclear weapons, long range missles, the desire to attack, and a crazy leader who will press the button

Answer 20

Does it matter, the White House has fund raisers and campaigning for 2014 to do. They've allowed China to hack our systems, Russian planes in unauthorized areas, and at least 5 embassies of ours to be attacked without any. I don't think they will attack but somewhere along the way we have to let the world know we won't take this, but it won't happen in this administration.

Answer 21

One word: Hiroshima

Answer 22

No north korea has failed a few times on launching nukes

Answer 23

Probably not - but Hawaii would make a good target!

Answer 24

No but if they do nuke us, were going to whoop some Korean *** over there. That would be the end of them

Answer 25

Kim Jung Un has already told the US that he is doing this as a propaganda sceme if he really goes through with it he will get boned tho

Answer 26

It is a fake pretext to WW3.

Answer 27

He has you scared. Thats all he wants. I highly doubt he attacks.

Answer 28

They would be foolish to attack. We would annihilate them. We have better technology, a kick a** military (believe me, I'm a part of it), and we are superior in every way. We would destroy them in less than a month if they attacked us. Don't worry. All they are doing is trying to flex their muscles, however weak and puny they are.

Answer 29

not in the near future, but eventually they will. get your gun, and be prepared to aim low.

Answer 30

For the last time they would be silenced within a few months.

Answer 31

I am so scared as well.



Ya see the purple elephants are looking at the pink elephants.



Ah men power and war.......

Answer 32

Probably not, but it's good to be prepared.

Answer 33

i understand where youre coming from but its not highly likely.

Answer 34

Nope. Not going to happen.

Answer 35

Well if they do, it'll all be over real quick.

Answer 36

I'm not sure

Answer 37

I realy do not know.

Answer 38

They got NOTHIN'

Listen again, NOTHING.

Calm down.

Answer 39

yes they will.. they have done it before they will do it again

Answer 40

No.
