North Korea threatens to reduce South Korea "to ashes".

[JDC]

No offense to anyone who may support the North, I lol'd at the topic as soon as I saw the title. I mean, really? They don't exactly have the technology or power to succeed.

If they had a couple of nukes, they might be able to actually wipe out South Korea.

Then again, we would read in the papers the next day about how North Korea tragically sunk into the sea afterwards.

That commented you quoted of his may actually have been serious, since many people don't understand the situation regarding Antarctica.

Here's an explanation for those who are unsure:

Getting back on topic, has North Korea said anything since the threat to South Korea?

I was actually serious since I've never heard anything about Antarctica before, but it just goes to show what you can learn from being part of the Argonath community.  :razz:
Anyway, I guess it's good Antarctica is free from humans completely destroying another continent of Earth.. 

If North Korea really wants to be that stupid then so be it. They'd be awakening the North American military forces of Canada and the United States. Then you add in the Israel Air Force, and the British military, as well as a revolting South Korea, and then North Korea has a shit storm to deal with.

So if they really want to try something then so be it, but I hope they understand the consequences of them trying to be the world super hero.

Thats exactly why they wouldn't do it, the worlds powerful nations would completely obliterate them.

@mikal

the artic and antarctic are actually gonna be future war zones most probably..

They both are unoccupied, and are pretty much just sitting on loads of resources like fuel oil and precious metals.
They are goldmines to whoever occupies them, for now we dont have enough machines to go to the artic and bring much back, but all countries are already mining the arctic and continuously assigning more and more machines to it, and soon they will come to a standoff too...

Unless google's space operation goes through(which would reduce the value of almost all "precious" resources to nothing) artic will be a damn hot place to fight world war III. Even nukes may go off, since its only the enemy military affected and wont be much problemsof killing civilians..

What stupid country would set off a nuke in the polar ice caps anyway?

If an enemy of war did have a base set on a polar icecap, they wouldn't use nuclear bombs... Military bases are small enough to use something much weaker and still completely obliterate it..

Yes. The ones with the highest probability of nuking the polar ice caps are found inland, not coastal states such as North Korea, unless they wanted to drown 90% of their country under sea water.
