North Korea puts rockets on standby as US official warns regime is no 'paper tiger'
North Korea put its rocket units on standby Friday to attack U.S. military bases in South Korea and the Pacific, after repeated threats and one day after two American stealth bombers flew over the Korean Peninsula in a military exercise.
A U.S. official warned that the isolated communist state is “not a paper tiger†and its reaction should not be dismissed as “pure bluster.â€
According to the North Korea's official KCNA news agency, the country's leader Kim Jong Un “judged the time has come to settle accounts with the U.S. imperialists in view of the prevailing situation†at a midnight meeting of top generals, Reuters reported

3. More tense then when you told us war between the Koreas was "pretty much imminent"?

8. According to a link in this response in an earlier thread, tension was at an all time high in the region previously, and yet, we lived.

11. No, this is not a response
but the latest on this as of this morning. You know when even MSNBC covers this... I mean they left the cocoon of US politics.

14. Yes, it was a response. Note that in the upper corner there is a line that says "response to....", for example, in the "response" I linked to

31. Really? More tense than this?...
When you told us war between the Koreas was "pretty much imminent...." Suffice it to say, that is a response.
The question remains, is this more tense than the previous 'war is imminent' moment?

18. Two points
Saying that this is the most tense something is does not automatically translate to resumption of hostilities is imminent.
Secondly, I think you are a new iteration of somebody in the iggy list, so welcome to it, again. Goodbye

16. It's bluster
Nothing is going to happen. The North Koreans know their country would be reduced to dust in a matter of minutes if they did anything.

17. Of course not
Some people do seem to get off on fear mongering though...

If the person was previously on "iggy," I hope that person makes a new account just to torment her. And another, and another, and another. :-)

It's been this high and worse, several times. Here is one such incident for her to peruse. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axe_murder_incident)
Young Leader is just trying to show everyone how astute a negotiator he is. Nothing gets a cargo ship loaded with rice into the port better than threatening to blow up your neighbors, according to communist logic.

Yeah, it's definitely something to attempt to establish bona fides with his generals. He's trying to stay alive. It may not look like that, but the Boy King is trying to look tough.
