Random Politics & Religion #22
I think it's funny how Kim Jong Un is the perfect example of someone who is who they are by happenstance (yesterday's exercise in denial) and luck of the proverbial draw.

A Look At North Korea's Artillery Shows Why No One Wants War Business Insider Excerpt: Quote: ... Even without nuclear weapons, North Korea has an ace in the hole. Most experts believe its claims to have enough conventional firepower from its artillery units to devastate the greater Seoul area, South Korea's bustling capital of 24 million. Such an attack would cause severe casualties — often estimated in the hundreds of thousands — in a very short period of time. Many of these artillery batteries are already in place, dug in and very effectively camouflaged, which means that U.S. and South Korean forces cannot count on being able to take them out before they strike. Experts believe about 60 percent of North Korea's military assets are positioned relatively close to the Demilitarized Zone separating the countries. North Korea's most threatening weapons are its 170 mm Koksan artillery guns, which are 14 meters long and can shoot conventional mortar ammunition 40 kilometers (25 miles). That's not quite enough to reach Seoul, which is 50 kilometers (30 miles) from the DMZ. But if they use rocket-assisted projectiles, the range increases to about 60 kilometers (37 miles). Chemical weapons fired from these guns could cause even greater mayhem. North Korea experts Victor Cha and David Kang posted on the website of Foreign Policy magazine late last month that the North can fire 500,000 rounds of artillery on Seoul in the first hour of a conflict....

Asura.Kingnobody said: » All in all it doesn't really matter... respond... don't respond... your call... The weapons NK use's are all very old and maintenance is extremely difficult, it's expected that about half don't work anymore. Of course ROKUS doesn't know which ones so they just assume all of them do. Every position is already known and marked as a target for counter artillery fire, which the US and Korea have plenty of. Also the Korean's maintain and active Airfoce and always have planes in the air or on standby to retaliate with airstrikes. Artillery shells have much flatter trajectory, are smaller and have a very fast initial velocity, making intercepting them over such short ranges extremely difficult, so it's expected that NK will get a few barrages off before counter AA removes them. All told they have about 15 minutes of time maximum, with the first pieces being taken out within a few seconds of a confirmed firing. The ROK maintains a whole bunch of people who's only job is to stare at computer screens 24/7/365 watching for a NK's to do something. That system is another thing I have intimate familiarity with.

I just searched I'm glad they brought back nudity. It's a special thing when you are about 12 and see your first pair of ***. An almost magical experience...
