Nuclear war - has it started?

[Deleted member 13905]

Do you think America will back down if reports are true that the weapons the North displayed the other day are fully functioning ICBMs.

I doubt the reports are true. The missile tests they've done so far fall far short of what would be required to develop a functioning ICBM in my opinion.

Can you actually show a link to this? The reason I'm asking is, that while the USSR were one of the only countries/entities to have diplomatic relations with North Korea between 1948 and 1989, 1 - there's never been a formal military alliance and 2 - the USSR and modern Russia aren't one and the same and even that diplomatic relationship no longer exists.

I'm not going to waste my time watching a half an hour US news broadcast for a presenter or editors opinion. I've stated that there's no military alliance between Russia and North Korea, so point me on the direction of the treaty that proves me wrong.

Russia have no interest in North Korea at all. No military treaty, they dont even sell them weaponry anymore.

Russia do not want N korea to have nuclear weapons any more than the Americans or indeed the Chinese. If it came down to a choice between N Korea having a nuclear arsenal and letting the yanks go in and take it out both China and Russia would be only to happy to let Trump loose.

So the history is

Korea was part of Japan until the end of the second world war.... Following the defeat of Japan it was decided to break up their empire. Korea was split into two along the 63rd parallel with north falling under control of the Russians and the south under the control of the Americans. The Russians installed their chosen leader and it was run as a communist state.

In 1953 the North invaded the South (a much weaker state) and the Americans got involved in an effort to stop the advance of 'communism' then the Russians and the Chinese got involved to help the north. This was the start of the Korean War. eventually a cease fire was called and the border once again was drawn at the 63rd parallel.

The cease fire is still in place but no peace treaty has ever been signed. ........

38th not 63rd.

Aye, kill the head and the body will dye. Get rid of the power structure heads, offer the G.I. Kims hot food, blankets, nobody killing their families/mates and interwebs porn. Can't be that easy can it? Maybe it could be.

Sounds like regime change to me. I thought we didn't like that anymore.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

knowing them NKs the missile has probably fail'd on purpose, he's attempted a launch so keeps face and now the ball is in Trumps court

That's my thinking, unless the yanks used internet witchccraft.

38th not 63rd.

And the NK invaded SK in 1950. The war lasted 3 years and ended in 1953.

ICBMs, Ssang Yong cars, even toys i had as a kid stamped "made in Korea" all fall to pieces after 5 minutes, even the wifes Samsung phone is shite, Korean porn is ok though Korean women make funny sqeaking noises as they are getting shafted
