Now that was just appaling to read, what did those bastards want to keep on doing that to the poor guy!?

Considering his activities I'm betting this is political foul play.

Well to try and go away from the current topic as it only irritates me.

Anybody got more info about North Korea's Nuke strike threats? I do hope its a farce ... because if its not we will be witnessing the first time the M.A.D. treaty gets invoked. Not exactly sure if that's something anybody would like.

North Korea readies all guns for attacks on US and it's territories.

Really now?

Wonder where they're going with this...

Wonder where they're going with this...

Most probably this:

North Korea announces "state of war" against South Korea

Once the first shots are fired, we'll know for sure.

Here's the full transcript of the declaration.

So what do you guys think, with the state of North Korea's firepower tests failing in international headlines? Nuclear winter or no?

[Fox]

Considering that the two Koreas never really signed a peace agreement after the Korean War, only an armistice, this was probably long overdue. I still hope that the North is just bluffing and that this is indeed just another one of their old preening displays in a new dress.

If we really are heading for a nuclear war, well, it was knowing most of you.

Unless China sides with NK, I don't think it will be a total global disaster. One of the certain things if NK uses a nuke on anyone would be that there won't be a North Korea anymore only a big glowing crater.

I agree, the world of Fallout will only become real if China sides with NK. Last I read tho, even China is getting tired of NK's antics.
