North Korea: Threat or Blackmailer?

So I've been listening to everyone about North Korea. As most of you know they just tested a Hiroshima size hydrogen bomb successfully and they've rockets to put it on now too.

My questions is this. Are they a real threat to the US, or are they just trying to get more money and food to feed their army while their people starve to death?

I'm inclined to think that the North Koreans aren't a real threat. Everyone wants to gin up some tin pot despot up like he's the new Hitler. So what if North Korea has the bomb. We're got thousands of them. If I had my way I'd take all of those troops and equipment out of Korea and tell the them to get stuffed.

Kimberly Ill Dong or what-ever his commie name is always complains that the US is threatening his country. If we weren't there he'd have no arguement. It's not like there aren't a million South Koreans on their own border. We've been negotiating with them for how long now, since Clinton and Bush SR? Evidently they're not buying and could care less if their people live and die in squalor. (Typical Marxist) So I say F Korea.

What Sayeth the Mob?

THAT IS HUMOR!! TTE.....you are the man!
BTW....real threat.

A real threat to S. Korea and Japan. They are at the end of their economic life like the USSR was, but they are not willing to go peacefully into the night. I don't think we stand at risk, but, if the politicos want to involve us, then we will blunder into it head first.

H. Clinton sounds way out of her league, and I don't think brow beating that regime will work like it did with her husband. (PS before Dmek chimes in, I was a huge Margaret Thatcher supporter, and Linda Chavez in the 80's and Sandra OConnor etc. ) We could really screw it up if we just assume everyone supports us, which I think the Dems will because they think now that Bush is gone, how could the world not love the US.

It would seem Pres Obama sees them as a threat:

Whenever I hear the term "Grave threat" I think of Tom Cruise/Jack Nicholson in "A Few Good Men"

Yeah, but what is he going to do about it? I've got a five spot that says he doesn't do jack.

Big time threat. From their actions and words they are daring anyone who gets in there way.

No, they are not a threat because the UN passed a resolution that we can stop and board their ships to look for military supplies if we get their permission. Which we all know they will be more than willing to stop their ships and welcome us aboard.

You cant handle the truth!!!

Seems like NK grew Ba!!s sense Obama stopped looking at them as the Axis Of Evil and now they are talking about aiming one at Hawaii.

I double dog dare them.

Our missile defense system is in place, it would never get near us. And it would give our country's leaders all the political clout they need to launch a full scale war on these douchebags and finally shut them up once and for all.

They have a strong military with 1 million men strong, but they don't have a counter to our air superiority. They'd crumble under bombing campaigns which could easily be staged from Japan and South Korea.

And as big as their army is, they could never get near our homeland. The only way they can threaten us is through missile strikes, but we've got a real good defense in place for that, too.

They're a threat. I'd love to see us squash them.
