North Korea Threatens to Fire Nuclear Missile if U.S. Won't Commit to Talks

North Korea Threatens to Fire Nuclear Missile if U.S. Won't Commit to Talks
FOX NEWS ^ | October 10, 2006
SEOUL, South Korea ā North Korea stepped up its threats aimed at Washington, saying it could fire a nuclear nuclear-tipped missile unless the United States acts to resolve its standoff with Pyongyang, the Yonhap news agency reported Tuesday from Beijing.
Even if Pyongyang is confirmed to have nuclear weapons, experts say it's unlikely the North has a bomb design small and light enough to be mounted atop a missile. Their long-range missile capability also remains in question, after a test rocket in July apparently fizzled out shortly after takeoff.
"We hope the situation will be resolved before an unfortunate incident of us firing a nuclear missile comes," Yonhap quoted an unidentified North Korean official as saying. "That depends on how the U.S. will act."
The official said the nuclear test was "an expression of our intention to face the United States across the negotiating table," reported Yonhap, which didn't say how or where it contacted the official, or why no name was given.
China's patience with its longtime ally North Korea appeared to be wearing thin as Beijing warned Pyongyang that its staging of a nuclear test would harm the two countries' relations.
Fears of a new regional nuclear arms race eased when Japan's leader said his nation still had no intention of seeking atomic weapons.

The blackmail begins...
I wonder how long it will be before N. Korea could hit the West Coast?

"North Korea Threatens to Fire Nuclear Missile if U.S. Won't Commit to Talks"
I almost hope he does. than we can go "Nukular" on his ass.
Or Bush can say "We have 35,000 nuclear warheads. Here's OUR list of demands."

And then China would say don't even think about dropping nukes that close to our country that some fallout would damage us also.

Sad thing is when it happens I won't be able to come back in here a say " Blah Blah I told you so"
If you think the threat of a wide spread world war involving nukes is nonsense than your living on another world acting in ours. All conflict short or longterm can only be won by killing the entire populace of the enemy. That is a fact and is why there have been no real victories since the end of WW2..............Once there were two powers with nukes the were going to be no more final ends to conflicts. Unless the one power out nuked the other.
What we are about to witness is the end of 60 years struggle of the nuke. The only outcome is a full blown nuke war and the complete obliteration of the other side. That is the only way to win a war. The war of the nuclear age has not seen it's end
War is war and winning is going over to the other side and killing EVERYBODY. That is the way it has been done for 10,000 years. That is the way of humanity.
Deny it all you want...............I sometimes still do

How does this:
Quote:
"We hope the situation will be resolved before an unfortunate incident of us firing a nuclear missile comes," Yonhap quoted an unidentified North Korean official as saying. "That depends on how the U.S. will act." . The official said the nuclear test was "an expression of our intention to face the United States across the negotiating table," reported Yonhap, which didn't say how or where it contacted the official, or why no name was given.
lead to a thread named this:
Quote:

Its bullshit! Some Korean brass said off the record and anonymously that he hopes they do not actually have to use nuclear weapons.
This gets twisted to mean that North Korea officially made a nuke threat.
Lonestar, steer clear of Fox News, and don't consider this nuclear blackmail - it's just a news story based on hype not fact. It just isn't a threat.

Hum.................I have noticed that many of you in here today think this is no big deal.................I hope your right
But in my guts of guts I know the world is on the path of death. Sad but true.
What do you think the North Koreans will do if we blockade the entire country ? Which is exactly what is happing as we speak. Do you think they will just sit around ? No they will do as they have always done. Fight back even against the largest face on the planet. They think that by having nukes they can avoid serious threat from the USA.well our leaders are stupid and have gotten balls SO HUGE from the past 20 years of "bomb' em to the stone age"
Anyway now I am spewing......................

also lets consider the fact, that they havent 1) designed and tested a rocket that can carry a nuke 2) designed a nuke that can be carried by a missile!
they are years behind, unless they buy it from someone else...

Saying North Korea couldnt send a payload or conventional missile to the US is misleading. NK could easily send across a ballistic missile, Give or take if they could pull it off and the missiles evaded interception could land on the eastern coast of the US.
Even worse, with a rogue state such as NK in the possession of small nuclear weapons, these technologies could easily be acquired by other rogue states and non-states. Could you imagine Al Qaeda being in possession of small nuclear weapons.
Whatever way you try to downplay this event your just ignoring reality right now. NK simply testing a nuclear weapon is a act of war and in violation of the UN proliferation treaty. NK doing this at this time with Iran in the news is no secret, NK is looking for some chips on the table, they are afraid of being collapsed by the US.
All in all news is looking bad for America and the Bush administration in particular, The coming years will have watershed events happening.
My prediction is North Korea will have sanctions imposed on them by China and a crackdown on their finances, North Korea "could" possibly retaliate with a attack on Japan,South Korea, and maybe a 1% missile attack on a pacific coast american city, North Korea would then easily be crushed as their meager infrastructure crumbles to famine and destruction, the people would likely oust the NK government.
But then again im not making a wager on this.

I really dont think KJI has the balls. But if he does, we are fucked since the UN isnt going to be able to do anything about it. We all know their history with stopping aggressive military attacks.

The USA has 10,000 nukes.....not 100,000 
During the peak of the cold war they had something like 30,000 nukes.
