Soooo of kim is assassinated it's automatic nuke?

[BackAgain]

This is just publicly stating that if the US pulls an Iran then there is automatic retaliation.

Kim may be a lard ass piece of shit, but that posturing claim made by North Korea is not utterly lacking in logic.

 

[EdwinAMartin]

And let's America know that if something happens to this fat blob with bad hair it will be time to nuke NK off the map.

Such a response should be automatic the second some loony piece of shit makes a threat to nuke us, or anybody else. Many of these shithole dictators would avoid acquring nukes like the plague if that were the policy.

 

[ThisIsMe]

What if Tubbo is assassinated by a North Korean? Are they gonna nuke themselves?

According to their new constitution….theyd have to…

 

[justoffal]

The Trident 2 can carry up to 8 warheads, just like your chart says and like I said. One of these warheads could wipe out Pyongyang.

Each Sub was capable of carrying 24, but under the Start treaty, was reduced to 20. But it's still capable of carrying 24.

So you're talking about the difference between toasted and atomically obliterated...or quantum-ly dematerialized.....like it matters since none of these states are survivable...

Like you said....one can do the job

This is an odd development. What happens if somebody.... Anybody just randomly offs the

When you have a real source, not some Indian tabloid with a history of fake news, let us know.

 

[SassyIrishLass]

Nuke the fat little toad first.

The fat little man is a clown

What if the assassin is North Korean?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

It's simply not true. Even W88 warhead is only 455 kt

Hiroshima was 16 kt

Obviously it's designed to tell the US "don't kill Kim".

Doesn't mean they'll do it.

 

[frigidweirdo]

It's news. Just because they happened to use that as a source, doesn't mean it's not what's being reported everywhere.

Can't argue

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Yes but they're sitting off of the NK coast for this reason. That's why I said 10 min, not 30.

If you are going to nuke them, does it matter how long we wait?

I'd say you are ignoring a great deal of minimum ranges on weapons that have to enter space to be effective. They don't like short flights. What goes up must come down!

If we are talking about retaliation attack, yes, it doesn't matter. Actually, one can even give some kind of Humanitarian Pause to shelter or evacuation of civilians or thinking about his terms of peace treaty.
But if we are talking about counter-force strike, then flight time might be critical, because we want to prevent "launch under attack".
So, deterrence patroling near adversaries coast is usually a sign of preparations to a first counter-force strike. "Providing multistability", as they say. Its like saying: "If you do something extremely provocative, (but it's not a direct attack on our nuclear forces), our nuclear forces will attack your nuclear forces the way, that will degrade them to the level at which our ABD and Civil Defence will be able to prevent unacceptable damage".

What about depressed ballistic trajectories? I very doubt that US can already use it practically with accuracy good enough. But I can't rule out this possibility. Did you hear anything about it?

You're from ******* Russia. Why can't you beat Ukraine? You need to not worry about the US that could kick your ass with half its military tied up in Iran. Worry about your own damn country.

 

[HikerGuy83]

With what shall they assassinate him? A tub of rice?

X-Lax

 

[airplanemechanic]

X-Lax

I think that would kill the people AROUND him.

 

[BackAgain]

If

[Zavulon]

You're from ******* Russia. Why can't you beat Ukraine?

First of all, because "beating" Ukraine is not our goal. Our goal is "de-nazification" of Ukraine. They are part of us, after all.

You need to not worry about the US that could kick your ass with half its military tied up in Iran. Worry about your own damn country.

We do need to worry about the US, and this is one of the reasons why we are that self-restraint on other directions.
And no, the only thing USA can do about Russia is knee and gobble.

North Korea has adopted a new “nuclear” law
South Korean intelligence reports that, in the event of a threat to the lives of the country's leadership, the North Korean armed forces will launch an immediate nuclear strike against the enemy.

According to South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, the new provisions call for the automatic use of nuclear weapons if the command and control of the DPRK’s nuclear forces is threatened by an attack from “hostile forces.” This refers to an immediate response without further consultation.

It is noted that these changes were made against the backdrop of rising tensions due to the conflict in the Middle East. The DPRK expects that the new measures will help deter other nuclear powers, particularly the U.S., and ensure the stability of the regime in the event of a crisis.
It seems the Koreans have finally built a delivery system capable of reaching the US, which they announced in a rather straightforward manner )))

It is believed that they have had such ICBMs for quite some time. The current Hwasong-17 and its presumed modification, the Hwasong-18, have a range of 15,000 km or more. That is enough to strike any point on the planet with a nuclear warhead.
Back during Trump’s first term, the North Koreans unveiled the Hwasong-15 with a range of 12,000 km, after which the Yanks immediately cooled off in their posturing against the DPRK and haven’t mentioned it since.
Since the Hwasong-15 can reach Washington and any major city on the East Coast.
Prior to that, it was believed that the DPRK could reduce to nuclear ashes only South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines, maybe Hawaii.
Now, if South Korean intelligence isn’t lying, conclusions have been drawn following the U.S. strikes on Iran, where a significant portion of the country’s top leadership was killed in an attempt to dismantle the state apparatus and the country’s governance. They decided to play it safe and activate a “dead hand” system.
