CNN.com - U.S. officials: North Korea tests long-range missile - Jul 4, 2006

Share your thoughts...my thoughts are that this is probably not leading towards anything good...They have enough forces to go to war with any country...they have the 5th biggest military, and nuclear weapons. This Long, and short range missile test is probably a sign..

Some Facts:

Nuclear Weapons
* North Korea announced in February 2005 that it possesses nuclear weapons.
* U.S. intelligence estimates North Korea has enough weapons grade plutonium for two to five nuclear devices.
* The U.S. also says it believes North Korea has began reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods which, if successful, could contain enough plutonium to produce between six to 12 nuclear weapons.

Chemical/Biological weapons

* North Korea has the world's third largest stock of chemical weapons.
* Included in the arsenal is mustard gas, phosgene, sarin and V-agents.
* Pyongyang also has an active biological weapons program.
* Its inventory is believed to include anthrax, botulism, cholera, hemorrhagic fever, plague, smallpox, typhoid and yellow fever

Artillery

* North Korea has an estimated 13,000 hardened artillery sites, many of the pieces aimed at targets in and around the South Korean capital, Seoul.
* Like much of North Korea's armed forces, they are well camouflaged and bunkered in.
* 4,000 are near the DMZ and 200 to 300 in range of Seoul.
* U.S. officials believe every fourth round has a chemical tip.

KPA Navy
North Korea's navy is divided into two fleets: the East Sea and the West Sea fleets.

* 48,000 personnel
* 430 combat vessels
* 40 submarines (26 attack subs)
* 340 support ships

lawl they should have gotten their missiles from taiwan :p

man that's scary, I wouldn't want them hitting us 8|. Why can't North Korean just go away and join south? commys ftd :banned: they never listen to us, even east asian countries think it's bad (from the read)

nice article

**wounded** · 05-07-06

And on Monday, North Korea's state-run media accused the United States of harassing it and vowed to respond to any pre-emptive attack "with a relentless annihilating strike and a nuclear war with a mighty nuclear deterrent

Appearently ... the North Koreans aren't scared of the U.S.

**Akaruz** · 05-07-06

to be honest they should had point the missile to the White house or to Bush Country Home in Texas

I'm more Worried with Israel ( noone talks about them ) than N.Korea.

To be honest if in the future something happens in Israel ( nuclear stuff , chemical warfare ) I will be there saying , It was expected , what they're doing its the same or worse than what Hitler did and you dont see the World Cops ( USA ) saying anything , ofc not , or hehe the money would stop flowing in the US ( stupid Lobbys )

**DaCheat** · 05-07-06

yeah but the moment something "major" happens (which will be too late to do anything anyway) the USA will throw all our shit at them and everybody else will throw their shit at everybody else...and yeah

all i can think of is THIS

**NoPeace** · 05-07-06

To be honest I have no idea why in the hell would they have such weapons and such a large army. Come on now. How about feeding your people before building a military?

NoPeace - out

**Psypher** · 05-07-06

The world is ending soon!

ehhe does USA feed all the poors ? :P and solved all the problems

Like i said look 1st your backyard then look to the neighbor , if y ou're is dirty dont complain about the others

Its like Iraq and their Massive weapons of Destruction , do you realy believe the USA can do anything there ?

Thats China side , if they even touch an inch of that land , China will jump in the middle , since Chinese do not want to have the USA even near , look to Taiwan problem :P ( it only has the USA helping because they can be there for watching over china ehhhehe

My thoughts exactly...as bad as it might sound...if this crap continues where countries keep stacking up on nuclear weapons...the world is done.

**Psypher** · 05-07-06

The US needs to quit being the "Peace Keeper of the World", and focus on its own damn country =/

**xeLJoYo** · 05-07-06

I doubt North Korea will do anything. They're just taking a piss at the US and the UN.

**wounded** · 05-07-06

I really doubt that provoking is something thats done at such a large scale...

**Rishwin** · 05-07-06

thoes weapons have "made in taiwan" stickers for crying out loud, theres a 70% chance they will fall apart midair and not explode... the most damage that they could inflict is knocking a few people out as the cheaply made plastic parts fall to earth :tp:

but yeh the US has their missiles ready to shoot down thoes if they get too close, doubt North Korea is stupid enough to go to war considering the US has not only a huge army and inventory of weapons, but also they have MANY allies.

**Pieman** · 05-07-06

I think this isn't going to be fun

**TriumpH** · 05-07-06

i think a WW3 is closing in on our little planet and it WILL be devastating

Yea i was watching the news yesterday and they were tlakign about this. Apparantly it was timed to go along with the launch of that NASA rocket. Hmm looks like someones trying to scare the US.

**MentaL** · 05-07-06

I wouldnt say WW3 simply being it would cause a nuclear winter and basically would kill their country anyways being its pretty much going to doom them.

**Josh** · 05-07-06
