To the tune of at least 30,000 pairs of boots on the ground, plus a lot of very expensive hardware. Kim is a complete nut job - the American presence in the South is the only thing keeping that country from invasion.

Re: South Korean Navy Ship Sinking
 

thankfully the NK's only got obsolete russian hardware .... but lots and lots of it :S just hope it doesnt escalate otherwise there will be 'shrooms in the sky :eek:

As far as I'm aware, the North Koreans don't have the ballistic missile capability to hit the continental US. On the other hand, the US do have a number of bases on Japan that could be considered under threat....

As much as the North Korean leadership are mad as a bottle of chips. I doubt they would want to face extinction, by nuking their neighbours. They simply don't have the size of nuclear arsenal that the Russians had during the cold war. The fact they have nukes gives the crazy barstewards a bargaining chip to use against their neighbours and the US. On the other hand, using said weapons would likely invite a rather disproportionate response.... Personally if I was the president of the US, and had just seen thousands of my troops incinerated by North Korean nukes. I'd happily turn large swaths of North Korea into radioactive glass.... ;)

Of course it's possible that there could have been an accident with the ship's own munitions, however:

In other significant news today:

US and Russia announce deal to cut nuclear weapons

given those nutjobs' track record in attention seeking it wouldn't surprise me if this is a rather extreme attention seeking tactic.
