The Glorious Blog of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea

[Jeff Lebowski]

So...I was talking to someone the other day who works with a guy who keeps talking about how scary the North Koreans are.

He says that, sure, they haven't been able to make a nuke small enough to fit on one of their missiles, but they do have the missiles. They've sent a monkey into orbit and back. And he says that while they haven't made a small enough nuke, they have been successfully testing EMP's and have one of those small enough to sit atop their missile.

So his theory (not the guy I spoke to, but the guy he works with) is that the N Koreans could send an EMP over, detonate it 80 miles up, and effectively destroy about 60-70% of the US power grid. And what would happen in the US for the next 2-3 months it would take to rebuild that? No food...no water...ineffective communication...communities cut off...authority heading home to protect/care for family...chaos...anarchy...

He keeps telling folks they need to get their year supply of food put together. And that it wouldn't be a bad idea to pick up a generator.

I know that Kim is a big talker, but I have a hard time imagining him really wanting things to go to war. And an incredibly difficult time thinking that he would ever actually make an attack like that directly on the USA. But it's an interesting theory.

That would essentially be suicide for North Korea as we would vaporize NK in retaliation. Not sure even they are that stupid.

Those were my thoughts, exactly. If he enjoys being alive and being a ruler of something, trying something like that could make it all end very quickly.

Would we? I don't think Obama has the balls to do it.

If it involves a drone, yes I think he would do it.

Really? Isn't this the man who has authorized assassinations, stepped up drone attacks, sent forces into Pakistan to pick up Bin Laden, and is happy to keep the Gitmo prison open?

I think Obama likes showing off his power. He might pause momentarily, but I tend to believe he's a guy who likes to pull a trigger.

Perhaps I don't really understand what you're saying. By vaporize, are you talking nuclear winter or carpet bombing?

That made me laugh.

Given how close our allies (and troops) in the region are to NK not to mention nuclear armed nations I don't think any president would have the balls to drop the bomb on them.

Well, Obama wants to be able to kill US citizens on US soil without due process.

lol. That's exactly what he wants to do.

Let me respond gently: That is a gigantic bunch of bullshit. How someone could honestly believe the above statement is true is both scary and hilarious.

Il Pad can't figure out whether Obama is a pussy or bloodthirsty warmonger.

He's grossly incompetent.

I think Il Pad is a helluva guy.
