North Korea puts rockets on standby to 'mercilessly strike' the U.S.

[Damião de Góis]

I don't see how you were even remotely implying that from your original post but anyway...

Geography was obvious enough. But it's ok, i know about the problems that americans have with geography

Japan is essentially defended by the US and quite honestly they know that fatso and company have no love loss for them. So I don't see at all how nuking NK would bother Japan and if its nuclear fall out you're worried about, well the Japanese have lived with it to varying degrees already.

Russia wouldn't be happy but its not like they're hurt for space. Only thing that would really bother them is what I stated previously. There really is no ideological connection to Russia and NK anymore whatsoever.

China would really be the only country to give a significant damn about a nuclear strike against Korea (regardless of nuclear fall out concerns) but they too are a tad tiresome of the regime and don't have much in common with them ideologically anymore either.

So you're basically saying it's ok to nuke North Korea, and Japan wouldn't be bothered by it because they have been hit before and "know all about it", Russia is too big to bother and China doesn't like North Korea's regime and would approve of a nuclear attack at their doorstep? Ok.

Loki don't be impresed by the size of weapons. Mostly of them are obsolete outdated soviet equipment.
These are the same weapons iraqi used unsuccesfuly.

Not the same ... North Korea has developed its own missiles.

Not so sure that's a good thing

They are short to medium range, not long range that can hit US.

They can hit American bases in the Pacific, including Hawaii. And in South Korea, Japan. Tens of thousands of US military are stationed there.

Pft. Please. Your initial remark had nothing to do with geography or any real point. The education is apparently poor from Portugal so no need on your part to portray like you know something here.

So you're basically saying it's ok to nuke North Korea...

Nope and no need to even try and put words in my mouth here skippy.

Japan wouldn't be bothered by it because they have been hit before and "know all about it"..

Actually if you really knew something of the geopolitical situation over there then you'd understand why its no skin off the Japs backs.

Russia is too big to bother

Not my point at all. Nice try again though skippy.

China doesn't like North Korea's regime and would approve of a nuclear attack at their doorstep? Ok.

Wrong. China would actually care the most about this. However relations between the two countries are strained and no one in the region is too happy about NK always trying to escalate war with its neighbors.

The point is really none of these countries like NK that much or are remotely tied to them ideologically as you think they are. China would be the only obligated to assist in some form of retaliation but that's due to the agreement they have with NK and not much else. So

True, but i was talking about mainland

They said Los Angeles was in range, so who knows ... apparently they have paraded a large missile which hasn't been seen before. But it's not tested yet.
