North Korea warns of nuclear "sacred war" in standoff with South
2010-12-23
North Korea warned on Thursday of a "sacred war" against the South using its nuclear deterrent as South Korean President Lee Myung-bak vowed a "merciless counterattack" if southern territory is attacked again.
I don't think the Norks' definition of "deterrent" is the same as that used in the Western world.

In any case, bring it Sonny. It will guarantee that you don't die of cancer.

#6  ION CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > ISRAELI EXPERTS SAY SOUTH KOREAN ARMOR WILL NOT SURVIVE NORTH KOREAN PLATOONS.

OTOH CMF Poster = doubts that DPRK will last beyond SEVEN WEEKS due to the ROK'S AIR, MILTECH SUPERIORITY.

* PAKISTANI DEFENCE FORUM > CHINA MUST RECOVER LOST TERRITORIES "LOOTED" BY NEIGHBORS, SAYS PLA GENERAL [Luo Yuan].

ARTIC > In the good General's professional opinion, CHINA CANNOT BECOME OR LABEL ITSELF A "GREAT POWER/NATION" UNLESS IT DOES, as the recovery of lost territories is + MUST BE an integral part of ANY CHIN FOREIGN POLICY.

IOW, THE US-WORLD POWERS WILL NOT GIVE RISING CHINA ANY RESPECT OR CREDIBILITY UNLESS CHIN PROVES IT IS WILLING TO DEFEND ITS RIGHTS BY MIL FORCE, + TO UNILATERALLY FIGHT, SOLE ANDOR IN JOINT, INCLUD TO ADDRESS + CORRECT HISTORICAL WRONGS.

#4  hit them with surrealism

Perhaps a chorus of South Korean schoolchildren singing I'm So Ronery just south of the DMZ.

#3  These Nork meatballs are so rigid minded and psychotic, the best approach might be to hit them with surrealism.

For example, the South might reply: "We accept your surrender on the condition that you throw your Kim Jong Il and his sons off a high cliff. We will provide abundant food to your soldiers when they lay down their arms."

You have to admit that it would fluff some feathers up North.

#2  After years of "...sea of fire...running dog yankee imperialists" and other traditional Stalinist era drivel, this is a new of image, suggesting religion of some weird kind.

And people don't think 60 years of appeasement haven't produced progress....

#1  My online translator of the Nork's statement only comes out as: "Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip! Yip!"

Must be broken.
