North Korea now threatening South.

(Reuters) - North Korea threatened South Korea with final destruction during a debate at the United Nations Conference on Disarmament on Tuesday, saying it could take further steps after a nuclear test last week.



As the saying goes, a new-born puppy knows no fear of a tiger. South Korea's erratic behavior would only herald its final destruction, North Korean diplomat Jon Yong Ryong told the meeting.



Jon's comments drew quick criticism from other nations, including South Korea, France, Germany and Britain, whose ambassador Joanne Adamson said such language was completely inappropriate and the discussion with North Korea was heading in the wrong direction.



It cannot be allowed that we have expressions which refer to the possible destruction of U.N. member states, she said.

That's a very nice saying. Very applicable in reverse, I think.



South Korea has been raising a generation of gamers to fly their drones, nothing can stop them

 

[DrLeftover]

The South probably knows that they can no longer count on the US for their defense.

 

[Evil Eye]

Well, the US already supplied them with plenty of missiles, right? (Or at least missile tech.)

And those North Korean missiles never do seem to work properly... Worst case scenario, both Koreas are gone. I find it more likely that the North will blow itself up though.

 

[DrLeftover]

So the South Korean government should just wait around for that to happen?



Not to mention Japan who is also on the North's enemy's list.

 

[Evil Eye]

Not necessarily. However, suppose they wait until something goes wrong (e.g. they accidentally blow up one of their own cities), the South would have the best political excuse (saving the people) for annexing them.

In the mean time they should of course keep an eye out and launch a pre-emptive strike if the need arises.



It's not like the North is going to develop ICBMs overnight.
