Korea at it again.

These knobs are trying to provoke a war. They scare the shit out of me.

the scary fact is halfway down. qoute:A South Korean defence official said Saturday's tests were of greater concern than four short-range ones on Thursday, as the missiles had longer ranges.

How advanced are they??

Any ideas on how we should deal with them?

A couple of weeks ago North Korea threatened to weaponize all its plutonium and also threatened military action against the US and its allies after the UN Security Council approved new sanctions to punish NK for its previous weapons tests.

Going through the UN doesn't / wont work with NK. In my view the only way to put pressure on them is via China and Russia. China have for many years supported the North Korean 'government' but are now getting a bit anoyed and embarrassed by them.The Russians are losing patience with them too, as indicated by their vote (and China's) in favour of sanctions.

As the North Korean infrastructure and economy are in such a dire state anyway,this would seem to be something of an overreaction.
I wouldn't lose too much sleep over this - its really just an ageing dictator flexing his rather puny muscles in an attempt to appear strong on the international stage,whilst serving to quash any internal opposition.
Next week it will be someone elses turn to be the bogeyman of the west.
My money is on Switzerland,as they have been stockpiling chocolate,and are rumoured to have cuckoo clocks of mass destruction that can chime within 40 minutes.

What a brilliant way to solve international disputes - food fights.
Or maybe cookery competitions.
For example,whoever makes the best kleftiko or stifado between Greece and Turkey wins Cyprus.
Ok - maybe not such a great idea...

OK then what would be Britains WMD then Haggis Black Pudd or deep fried Mars bars.
