Nope. All North Korea does is threaten to attack, they never do anything. North Korea has said they're going to put my country in a sea of flames more than 10 times since I've been alive, and they've never done a thing. I don't think any country should be concerned about the North Koreans. And North Korea isn't in the condition to attack another country also...

I don't think so cause America would destroy them and even if we didn't we have lots of allies. Apparently North Korea has been on it period.....
They should follow it but not act upon it yet but they can't just let it slip
Not in the least. IF they had nuclear technology (they probably don't) - they don't have the rocket technology to send a missle over. As far as invasions? Their military is so malnutritioned they wouldn't put up much of a fight - and if given a chance to "invade" another country - they would probably all beg to stay!

Oh well I found this quote..... "On the bright side the missle launch cost them $1.3 billion, nearly 5% of their GDP. So no worries of their ever having an arsenal of them. Besides, one is all they'll need - fire it a virtually anyone, and they can expect to be obliterated within minutes."
The CIA should attempt to use the $1.3 billion wasted and NK's other military transgressions to encourage the NK public to resist the regime. But alas, people just want to live their lives and believe they can't fight the powers that control them.
We should blow them up before, they do it to us.
Not in the slightest bit. The politics around N.Korea involves a series of threats by N.Korea, followed by sanctions from the rest of the world. At a certain point The US (or someone else) will offer humanitarian aid if they back down, they receive food and medical supplies for free and back down. This way their leader Kim Jung looks like a hero to his people by standing up to the "evil westerners" and feeding his people with the aid they get. This has been going on since the end of the Korean conflict in 1953, since he's threatening with nukes now I'm sure they're going to insist on more aid then normal.
They may not be smart, but they're smart enough to know that we'd wipe them off the map if they ever tried anything.
I don't know you, but I like the way you write. I just read a book you might enjoy, seriously good fiction, set in North Korea. It's called "The Orphan Master's Son," by Adam Johnson. You might want to read it in your tent, after you've eaten a few birds!

But it was still seriosly funny......
Don't be afraid of those who threat a lot but those who works in silence like Japan - Pearl Harbor 1940 now that was something.
North Korea wouldn't stand a chance like a snowball in hell against the U.S.. just keep an eye on them.
they take all threats seriously its just another freak on a leash that they will tighten up around his neck to make him heal
I just read a really good book, fiction, about a guy who lives in North Korea. It's called "The Orphan Master's Son," by Adam Johnson. If you're interested in understanding what life is like in that paranoid and dysfunctional country, read that book. I couldn't put it down. If anyone on Ask reads it, let's talk about it here.
We have nothing to worry about from North Korea. This is what the North Korean government tells its citizens about Americans......

North Korea is making enough noise to make the US beef up there defense on the West Coast I guess it's better to be safe then sorry. We all know we can make a parking lot out of North Korea but if one missile hits the US it would be to late to change that destruction
If a 10 year old had a gun pointed at you, would you be concerned? And so should we. Personally, I think we need to shut his mouth up, permanently. It will be a very fast war for sure haha, but none the less, he is a thorn.
Any threat "made by a fool," should be taken seriously.remember,the "mother of all wars". what if Saddam had developed a weapon of mass destruction.
The only thing living by "What if" does it make you a slave to fear.
Not directly. But if they attacked South Korea, then we got involved, then China got involved on North Koreas' behalf..... But seriously China is going to own the world economically, so they're probably not interested.
If we are on the top of the food chain we have nothing to fear
Yes, I think so. People all over the world should be concerned of it.
what you must think about is, if we were to attack north Korea are the Chinese and Russian going to do anything. and if they do it might be in manpower or weapons. however the main reason why the USA is not acting is because if the Chinese do react they will stop all glob shipping bring the world on its knees because we relay on china too much!
If you go by all the hype and hollywood movies you would think that USA would beat North Korea blindfolded. In reality they have been fighting wars against IRAQ and Afghans for like 10 years now! USA BARK is bigger than their BITE! Maybe closer than you think and if china or russia become involved it will be gloves off everyone! :(
I think anytime that you are threatened by anyone there should be a concern, especially with the commander in chief that we currently have. But not with the outcome. America would destroy them before they got started. Plus we would starve them to death by cutting off their aid completely.
I absolutely think we should watch them but how are we so sure we will destroy them in a war? Arent we still fighting in the middle east to a bunch of people who live in clay houses and wear robes. If they ever launched a missile towards the US I think it has a 1% chance of actually getting through. We have a lot of safe guards in place to prevent this from happening from and country not just N Korea.
Not unless Russia backs up North Korea... Then we can be worried lol
We are 20 times more powerful than North Korea, but it only takes one nuke to severely injure the U.S.. We must disable their nuclear program (as well as Iran's) immediately.
Well, the way the U.S is looking, i think we should be concerned.
yes because they have a failure of a missile program
China and North korea are friends and China has the largest population in the world so yeah id be worried
China, likewise, would rather have North Korea disappear but hasn't figured out how to make a psychotic ruler and his starving people disappear in a manner which wouldn't inadvertently anger South Korea who is, ironically, obsessed with reuniting the two Koreas. (Plus fallout from a North-Korea-obliterating attack would have collateral on South Korea thus trigger a war between the USA and China - the only reason why China would hesitate in making both North and South Korea disappear.)
North Korea has been a bigger threat to this country and for as long a time a Iraq. Why was Iraq invaded and not North Korea? Because the people and its government are in a desperate state, like Germany was after world war 1. They have nuclear weapons and are not afraid to shoot if invaded. They are a serious threat. I think that while condemning their nuclear ambitions we should continue to provide humanitarian aid and lift trade restrictions so that things don't get too desperate there.
No. The United States is merely North Korea's devil. As long as we are over there, reminding them of our presence they will keep harping about how evil we are. The USA is nothing more than a scapegoat to them. Albeit a very dangerous scapegoat with more firepower than North Korea can super-impose onto a state-sponsored news' broadcast footage (and they know this) highlighting how invincible North Korea is. It's a troop/countrymen moral thing. They have no intention of attacking the US. They want to retake South Korea, not destroy it. Japan won't let a Nuclear strike go unpunished. China doesn't even like North Korea at this point (Their relationship is "Better the devil I know..." instead of "BFF") and Russia has its own problems; they doesn't seem to care for North Korea any more than China. The only idiots waiting for this to go bad is the fools in North Korea who WANT a war and the fools in DC who also WANT a war. Thankfully their voices are still a minority.
Or did you mean you've never heard of anyone who wants a war with North Korea? Look through the replies to this person's question and I think you'll be surprised. Don't think for a minute that politicians and people in high places are all that different from the common riff-raff.
Probably... North Korea tested its Nukes and soon they might be heading for America.
Yes definiately however now they want to show off their new toys and demand respect though threats and immaturely stomping their feet of what they want to do to south korea to gain attention.I feel our Eagle needs to watch them closely for the future and the missles were putting in calif is the right thingLASTLY if they ever dared to attack US we should take all their toys away from them and be in control from them ever makeing new ones in the future since we are approaching the nuclear age.
nope cause they just say that so we can be scare but they not going to o nothing
Very few people on this survey seem concerned with the intentions of the DPRK. However, how can anyone be so sure that the US has nothing to worry about? I mean, this is a country who has a "Great Leader" who likes to spend time noodling with Dennis Rodman. Am I the only one who finds this perhaps a bit disturbing?
No. The United States needs to stay out of the internal affairs of all other foreign nations.

Usually those who talk the nastiest talk are those who have the least crap to follow through with their talk.
And what ever pollution they fire upon somewhere, that pollution will wind-up back to their area one day.
I answered the person's question with a good answer. So what is the problem?
North Korea attacking America, is the equivalent of a cat clawing at a meteor hurtling toward Earth.
yes very much so but the problem for north korea is that they have no nuclear weapons that can travel the distance to hit america so the best bet is that they will invade in a few yrs or so they actually come fourth in military strength they put majority of their government funding to military and the are actaully the top in technology so they may have weapons we may never have seen
yes but our president would rather play golf with tiger woods instead!
4Sur-dat...these a-holes are still at war with us anyway, despite an armistice signed in 1953; we need to be unswervingly clear in our intention concerning these ANIMALS!!!
What I'm concerned is that the U.S. might pull a stupid move and attack North Korea, unleashing a chain of events that will spread to all the countries and create an inevitable World War 3, which will have the skies filled with nuclear missiles flying towards North Korea and soon, instead of rainbows, I'll see mushroom clouds, later, the area will get pelted with nuclear radiation and we'll all die, or Fallout 3 will start.
we should have some check on it, but not get really in it yet, we have a greater GDP than them even with all our dept so we are very good off
