Can somebody explain to me what the fuck the DPRK is even doing? Why are they behaving like they have a death wish? All indicators suggest that Donald has reached the end of his patience and he's getting ready to squash North Korea once and for all, and oddly enough, China and Japan both seem to be on-board with it. Despite all this, North Korea keeps running tests like they think they're going to get away with it. What's their deal? They should be literally begging for their lives at this point.

Read Sun Tzu. They're weak, so they're acting stronger than they are.

norks are Chinese puppets.
drumpf threatened China with economic warfare.
China responded with 4d go move.

North Korea's conventional deterrent (the huge army and the artillery pointed at Seoul) are becoming increasingly dated and unlikely to pose s threat forever. The only way the Kim dynasty stays in power is by obtaining a successful Nuclear deterrent. They already have the nuke, now they're working on the missile.

What should they be doing?

America has wargames off North Korea coast every year. So North Korea does some missile tests too. Trump talks shit about North Korea, they do some more missile tests. America does missile tests when people talk shit about us. We just showed the world our tomahawks and mobas still work preddy good. Kim Jong gotta show that he ain't no pussy.

He's been doing this shit for years and decades now too media wants to act like this is something new. And the hysteria coming from the news is off the charts, you should remember the tone from such classics as Iraq and Afghanistan.

North Korea isn't nuking California or anyone else. Just leave them alone and ignore the saber rattling dumbasses. Keep making the same mistakes over and over. Probably invade and Kim don't even have any more working nukes anyway.

they're buying time. If they didn't behave like a crazy hobo with a knife they would've been invaded long ago.

China has not has as much influence over NK since Kim had all the pro China system officials executed.

Like Trump will do anything. Koreans can do what they like.

Kim is not impressed by the twitter-trained orangutan.

They know they won't be attacked. All of korea would be destroyed if they were attacked and there would be lots of refugees.
they're not

China keeps the norks alive. literally.
without China they start dying within a year.

We shouldn't ignore it because nuclear arms are a game changer, a nuclear capable nation will never have foreign boots on the ground and fighting them becomes limited to economic warfare and espionage. Once they have fully functional ICBM we can no longer continue to quarantine them or keep imposing sactions as strict as those we currently have in place and they will become a global player. In fact we should have done something about them ages ago before they had developed their nuclear program to even this point China, SK, and Japan are already at risk which is why partly why China has changed it's tone.

China doesn't really care for Kim. On the list of reasons, he assassinated his step-brother who the chinese were likely looking at replacing him with.

The refugee problem is the real reason Kim hasn't been taken out. No country in the area is prepared to absorb 25 million uneducated people.

Haven't seen you in a little while, tovarish.

Norks don't give a fuck about kike scumbag Drumpf. Kim is most based man on planet. He's the real God emperor.

Because a war with the Norks could mean a surprise nuke in San Francisco. That improves Trumps chances in California.

im sure sweden would take them

do you guys think King Chink reads international news and knows he is the laughing stock of the world?

does he allow anyone else like his top generals access to internet or international news?

I think it's the opposite. Kim is shitting the bed right now trying to get some nuclear missiles working before the US inevitably comes in and lays waste to Pyongyang once and for all.

>does he allow anyone else like his top generals access to internet or international news?

Of course the elite have internet access and they fully know whats going on. Best they can do is buckle up and hold on for the ride. They dont call the shots, Kim does.

Maybe he sees the Taliban controlling 1/3 of Afghanistan, a defeat in Iraq, and thinks he can do even better, considering he has far better weaponry and a much larger standing army at his disposal? Not to mention a vast network of nuclear bunkers and tunnels built over 50 years for just this scenario.
By the way, he's called Trumps bluff. America won't be attacking. Screen cap this post.

My guess would be that another country is using NK to test out our top secret weapons system. They watch all of our bases via satalite and look for what types of movement happen wear for which action in order to predict our attacks before they happen. This country is likely Russia, emboldening NK with the promise of defense.

You know that every Jew in Israel should be 100% dead by UN interventions 30 years ago for them breaking the UN laws by stealing land, poisoning the wells, killing civilians, torturing civilians, unlawfully locking up civilians, illegally constructing on foreign land, stealing land and so on, but UN laws don't work for Israel or USA.

so if thats the case, he must feel extra pressure to keep power every time he embarrasses himself on the world stage

Theyre shoving their commie heads right up their own assholes!
KILL ALL COMMIES!

Why does everyone ignore that N Korea prints fake US currency and sells it To a china so they can fuck us even more?

>he assassinated his step-brother who the chinese were likely looking at replacing him with.

And this is part of why Xi jumped onto the Trump Train.

>far better weaponry
Taliban can afford ammo and petrol, fool. Lil Kim has maybe a week of high operational tempo and probably more like three days of supplies for real ops.

Because they have no other choice. The north koreans fanatically went balls deep into this whole communist ideology of that time spearheaded by mao. Now the world has changed in ways that late grandpa kim had never anticipated. Difference with china is that the chinese state is more robust so after mao's death they could better adept to those changes and slowly started breaking away from previous mistakes...kinda like russia. The norks however relied on china remaining a beacon of communist revolution in asia but they got duped. World powers are holding back not for any strategic reasons, but because they feel sorry for them. They know its a humanitarian disaster waiting to happen.

It would make me so happy to see a cheeky little North Korean flag appear in one of these threads.

It is always exciting when it happens. I've only seen it happen 3 times. So it's pretty rare. And they don't say much.
But...It's still entertaining

>All indicators suggest that Donald has reached the end of his patience and he's getting ready to squash North Korea once and for all
did you really just type this during the week when the administration has been constantly alluding to being willing to go to dialogue? To say nothing of the many signals indicating we're just getting the Obama era policy but with hotter rhetoric.
>China and Japan both seem to be on-board with it
Why would Japan be against it? They are 100% the target for the first NK nukes if they ever launched any-US destroying bluster aside. They would fucking love to get rid of that time bomb. The Chinese on the other hand are still riding the fence, they're fed the fuck up with Kim Jong Un sperg outs but are not to the point they're willing to have US troops at the Yalu River. You'd have to give them concessions on US troops and THAAD to get them to be even remotely comfortable with the idea.
