North Korea's "U.S. Mainland Strike Plan" released, shows targets. Did YOU make the cut?

[Poll_Blind]

Once they leave North Korean airspace, most DPRK rockets seek out the nearest embassy and request citizenship and a hot meal. However, the "U.S. Mainland Strike Plane" (presumably for a ballistic missile attack) was released by the DPRK today, so get out your tickets and see if you're a winner!

Targets are....
Hawaii
San Diego
Washington D.C.
and...(apparently) Austin, Texas

Please recycle your tickets. Tickets may only be redeemed by North Korean ballistic missiles or their legal designates. Tickets only good for one drawing/nuclear attack.

1. Kim Jong Un is a child

I think he's past his bedtime.

BTW, I can see why San Diego, Hawaii and DC would be targeted. But why Austin Texas?

[Poll_Blind]

3. My intel sources are saying he got a bad smoked chicken enchilada at Chuy's once. nt

7. Don't you ever Yelp?

Austin has worst Kim Chee in USA!

;0)

9. He hates Rick Perry nt

18. He's an Aggie fan. n/t

12. Slab of meat with a big mouth and tiny pee-pee

Maybe he's just forgetting to take his meds.

27. Well, the Texas Legislature is currently in session nt

38. He wasn't invited to South by Southwest.

2. Gosh, nuking Metro in DC would make it unreliable

Oh wait . . . never mind.

[Cali_Democrat]

11. I know. If DC is nuked, Congress won't be able to get anything done

Oh...wait a minute....

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. Cool, we made the cut

Hey Kim, you really have the missiles to reach San Diego, let alone DC?

[Poll_Blind]

8. IMO, NK's ability to deliver nukes to mainland U.S. are contingent on FedEx Same Day rates. nt

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. On a serious note, both Hawaii and San Diego could be reached by freighter

And Hawaii is at theoretical max range.

He does that, all kinds of bets are off.

The question IMO is separating the bluster...and there is plenty of it, from actual reality, or perceived reality.

5. NK's new leader/gov't reminds me of the GOP primary candidates.

Goofily staged.

13. Fuck! Look at the hats on them Asshats!!!!

Not one of them donkey dicks has ever fired a shot in anger.

Why the fucking medals??

[demosincebirth]

14. I wonder what war those generals earned all those medals? They aren't old enought to have

fought in the Korean conflict.

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Good conduct medal, making your bed medal,

Good political officer medal, a few possibly for the I would have to kill you if I told you medals, due to commando infiltrations of the south, that have been happening over the decades.

Some armies have medals for the most ridiculous of things, some don't. Some are in the middle.

40. Two year's service,

5 years' service, 10 years' service, 15 years' service, surviving death of original dictator award, surviving death of secondary dictator award ...

Like the hats. More convenient than carrying a lunchbox. What with the rampant starvation at times, you might get your lunchbox stolen or it may cause riots. Carry the food under your hat and it's safe ... and kept warm!

[Johonny]

16. He showed up at the hat party without a fancy hat!

[Historic NY]

30. Yeah, and the hats are too big for their little brainy heads...Un doesn't want to mess his hair.

[Autumn]

17. Maybe we could trade them Rodman for their missles.

Win win situation.

[mainer]

19. we've already brought nuclear-capable jets close to THEIR airspace

They've got more reason to be scared of US.

"North Korea’s leader said Friday that his rocket forces are ready “to settle accounts with the U.S.,” an escalation of the country’s bellicose rhetoric and a direct response to the unprecedented announcement that U.S. nuclear-capable B-2 bombers had joined military drills with South Korea."

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. And at least one ssbn boat

And your point...

[mainer]

23. My point? Imagine NK jets with nuclear weapons within striking distance of Miami

and try, just this once, to imagine what our reaction would be.

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. And imagine NK testing mid range yaopang missiles over the Yellow Sea

And overflying Japan

And imagine NK testing tactical nuclear weapons

And imagine NK sinking a naval vessel with the death of 42 sailors

And imagine the artillery bombardment of a civilian settlement.

And imagine the attempted decapitation of the civilian government in Seul

And imagine one million artillery pieces aimed at Seul...

To be blunt, none of this is happening in any kind of a vacuum

Oh and worst case scenario...you might want to check out how the Korean War started in 1948...

[mainer]

29. And imagine the conflicts all happened IN THE PAST

before Kim Jong Un took power.

Oh yeah, let's attack him because of what his father did. The sins of the fathers must always fall hardest on the sons.

[nadinbrzezinski]

31. It matters

You think great leader is working in a vacuum? You might, but he is not.

Regardless, this might be hard to comprehend, but we are still in a state of war with the Republic of North Korea, and the Daopang missiles and the nuclear testing happened in December of 2012, after his dad became worm food. This means the kid was already the dear leader.

And there have been zero moves to remove those artillery pieces from the DMZ.

You might prefer to live outside of history, but this kid is modeling his behavior not on dad, but grand dad...yup, the man who ordered the DPKR armed forces across that line of demarcation.

I just hope he does not and all this is part of the 30 year old bluster to force concessions.

But quite frankly, there are no white knights in shining armor here, nor s the US itching for a war.

And we do have treaty obligations, which supersede Presidents as well.

There is plenty of material on the web on these subjects, really.

Oh I forgot

[mainer]

32. Wow. We have to stay in a state of war with NK...

because we are still in a state of war with NK. Justify more war with past war.

[nadinbrzezinski]

34. What part of the war did not end

With the armistice are you having trouble comprehending?

Here, a handy definition

ar·mi·stice
/ˈärməstis/
Noun
An agreement made by opposing sides in a war to stop fighting for a certain time; a truce.
Synonyms
truce - cease-fire

[JimDandy]

21. Washington DC...

Ridiculous. Probably has a map of the US that looks like the Australian one posted here a couple days ago.

[Texasgal]

22. Pfft!

he just wants SXSW tickets for free!

[edbermac]

24. What about Calumet, Colorado?

They obviously didn't want to fuck with the...WOLVERINES!!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

28. ^^^^DUZY^^^

[HipChick]

26. If DC was nuked, I wonder if would help the backup on the beltway

[Historic NY]

33. Wouldn't it be special if they could hit sister Sarah's porch....

it is closer.

[nadinbrzezinski]

36. Scarily they actually are believed to have range

For that one.

35. I'm pretty confident that non of their planes would make it here intact.

37. Good thing my brother moved to San Antonio n/t

[talkingmime]

39. And then he'll put on his Iron Man costume and fly to France for some actual food.

If NORAD so much as detects a launch, N. Korea will be a wasteland within 20 minutes. It is pretty close to that as it is, but I mean leveled. The sad part is the loss of innocent lives. Same with our invasion of Iraq. The Kuwait thing made sense. The shrub thing did not.
