North Korea Says It Has Final Approval For Nuclear Attack On US
This is merely the latest headline in what may well culminate with the wettest dream Paul Krugman has ever had.
#BREAKING: N. Korea army says it has final approval for nuclear attack on US

AFP: North Korean Army has approval to launch "mercilesss" nuclear strike on U.S. involving possible use of "cutting edge" nuclear weapons
— Sky News Newsdesk (@SkyNewsBreak) April 3, 2013
For those concerned, here is a map showing the range of North Korean missiles. It is safe to assume that GETCO's collocated servers are safe, and will ramp the ES limit up on any flashing red headline launch news. Just think of the fixed income investment and epic resulting GDP boost, on both a real and seasonally adjusted basis.

Should one nuclear rocket be launched at the US, North Korea will be relgated back to the stone age.
Even in the stone age I don't think stones glowed in the dark
I'm sure we can expect quite a few broken windows.
They can't hit Washington D.C.? WTF use are they then!?!?
They can always aim for Singapore.
Or Wall Street....
Good Point. Maybe we can bulldoze Oakland and move DC to the West coast...
Hope Rodman got this little fucker's autograph, be bringin' big Ebay bucks, soon when he's "addressed" for this error.
Like the Weekly World News. Or the onion.
Bizarre statements. Their generals are eating too many Korean magic mushrooms.
Maybe a few nukes go off accidentally inside North Korea. Oops.
April first was day before yesterday!
i bet that little shit doesn't even know where the usa is on a map.
that little prick needs to be bent over my knee and spanked and be told to grow up and act like an adult.
umm, he knows where Austin is.
Yea....and I have permission to kick "The Rock" in the balls.............
Not that I put much stock in his threat, but I do have a technical correction to offer. Those missle ranges should not be shown as perfect circles, they should have a longer range our way than the other way. This is because the earth would still be spinning under them while they are in the air. I don't know if this would increase the range of their missles such as to hit our west coast, but if they do it is a race between Fukashima and North Korea to depopulate Cali!
they will be jet stream assisted too
To me it' s more a Terminator-like approach to cover the financial situation of Cal. I guess Arnie will save us all and Cal will be like a reborn without any debt left...
Kim Jong-un: I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.
WTF?
They are moving the same speed as the earth at launch. So, they would have to be further in orbit to take a lot of rotation into account.
The guys in charge of gold suppression are having a really bad news week. Whack a mole isn't easy even when you know where the holes are. I can just imagine them saying "GD, not another one!" every time news breaks.
You can always see when they are out to lunch, gold just kind of meanders upward in a nice gentle fashion.
North Korean Nuclear ICBM<
LOL!!! TO THE KING!!!!!!!!!!!
sideshow.
Does radioactive fallout seasonally adjust?? In Ben's World it does!
This is not fun, folks. This should be taken seriously. It smells to 1939 all over...
Smells more like bullshit to me
Listen to Tricky Dicky...he knows his bullshit.
You, sir, are confusing me with Richard M. Nixon. I am Richard E. Nixon.
As it should the banksters kids and grandkids are in charge now having taken over the planet from their great grandfathers,grandfathers & fathers. Same fucking Criminal familys just a different year.
It may not be fun, but it sure is FUNNY!
Looks like that visit from Dennis Rodman was a big success
Well yeah, people don't care about Cyprus anymore, they are just scared of NKorea. Rodman works for the department of distractions.
thats an insult to the clintons! (all their tatts are hidden i guess)
http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/world/dprk/kn-08.htm
Finally on January 29, 2007 the US government acknowledged for the first time the existence of several new Iranian and North Korean missiles under development through a speech by the deputy director of the Missile Defense Agency of the Pentagon Army Brig. General Patrick O’Reilly before the George C Marshall Institute. In that speech he described the Iranian two stage Ghadr-110 solid propellant missile with a range of (1,324 miles) 1,995.16 or close to 2,000 kilometers. It has been known that the Iranians are working on the Ghadr-101 as well as the Ghadr-110 solid propellant missiles. The Ghadr-101 solid motor development was completed in 2005. He also described the two stage Taep’o-dong-2b as having a range of (6,200 Miles) 9,975.8 kilometers and the three stage version with a range of (9,300 miles) 14,963.7 kilometers with a 250 kg warhead.
Maybe by ``nuking the US`` they mean bombing Japanese nuclear reactors... therefore nuking the west coast?
Time to break out a good cuban smoke + single malt. How much time we got?
i don't know, but I was hoping to break out my $700 Yamazaki 1984 for a nice occassion
That's a sweet deal if it runs. Is it the gpz turbo?
Thank God, they sent it USPS.
So basically Rodman was bullshitting us? And just for a job.....

Has anything Douglass Hagmann ever posted come true? That is anything he made up himself reported from well placed sources and didn't rip off from a legitimate source? Even a broken clock has the decency to be right twice a day.
They also have "final approval" to masturbate and watch re-runs of Big Bang Theory (with non-removable Japanese subtitles) on their black market smart phones. Which do you think they'll choose ?
Nice job at a surprise attack!!
So if they nuke Kalifornia, do we go to war with them or give them a medal?
Hey now!
No, we don't go to war with them, Mexico goes instead.
And 6000 dead sheeple in a Chinese river. O no, pigs that was. And bird flu, and Cyprus templates, MDB thread jacking.
Keep stacking bitchez.
Who/What is lifting SPX???
Finally a nuclear explosion in my lifetime, no longer just in a history book. I just came in my pants.
Is that you, Paul?
oh come on, don't listen to them ... those guys just want some attention.
I wonder what they're gone threaten us with next week :-)
The psyops are getting bigger which means the stock market is topping.
Damn Al Queda spreads fast. Iran is probably behind this. /sarc.
Well at least we'll be able to blame the high radiation levels on the West Coast from Fukushima on NK
God forbid we have to blame a stock market collapse on the economy and the financial system.
Can someone just blow that little fuckers head off? What the fuck???? How hard can it be?
They havent been able to blow the fuckin Banksters heads off and they are out in the open all the time.
They have also done 1000's times more damage to the planet than this little dictator fucking with korea.
To bad he can't reach the BIS with his missles.
True!
Edit: Guess I need to downvote myself again. Just getting anoyed by this gagantic baby who obviously wants to hurt innocent people. But then again all those fuckers are gigantic babys who hurts innocent people.
if this is the reason for the selloff, that is retarded, because anyone who actually believes north korea will attempt to nuke the u.s.a is on something else.
there are however a ton of reasons that this market should sell off, and the most important being of course is that this economy fucking blows. that itself should bring this market down 30-40 percent soon.
but if the only reason was north korea, it shows how foolish the street is, because we have a lot more serious problems than north korea.( economy)
SF Fed said they may start winding down QE this summer.
"Fed trying many different tools in extraordinary times." Fed's Bullard
In other words things are still extremely effed up!
Well, then...
I consider such talk by the "Un-dictator" as sabre rattling, yet keep in mind one of the shorter-range missiles N Korea does apparently have operational could be launch from an off-shore freighter.
EMP on west coast?? Then watch for the ramp in china as we replace all that iCrap stuff that gets fried.
so much for the element of surprise?
Old News. I am getting these alerts on my capitalist pig iPhone much earlier via AlertsUSA.
http://www.AlertsUSA.com
North Korea figures no need for secrecy. I mean a surpise attack has never worked on US soil.
oh wait
The Result of Bankster Sanctions. Get rid of the Federal Government and Sucede Bitchez.
The reason why China is on the DNK border is to shoot the 10 million refugees that are gonna make a run for it when war breaks out.
This guy knows more about politics and war than just about anybody
Gwynne Dyer: A war in Korea?http://journalstar.com/news/opinion/editorial/columnists/gwynne-dyer-a-w...
Mike Tyson knows more.
What's little Napoleon going to use as a delivery vehicle for said nuke? A giant blimp, ox drawn cart? He doesn't have missile technology capable of delivering a nuclear warhead.
Perhaps they were delivered long ago, waiting for the 'ignite' command. Check out, for one, "Through the Eyes of the Enemy", Lunev.
And I have some BitCoins I want to sell you.
you bought bitcoins?
This is propaganda to scare the sheepish like you. It’s a distraction. Your handle is an oxymoron.
and you get your info from where now ??
What and absolute joke. This is most likely an Elite banking oligarchy inspired (& paid for) smoke & mirror show .
I just can't watch MSN TV and have'nt for more than a year.
So Goldman Sachs gave North Korea the go-ahead?
I do not believe for one fucking second that they have a missle that could reach the USA mainland.
I am confident because they told us this 10 minutes ago.
Why do you think that they need to deliver them? Perhaps they've already been delivered, yet to be ignited, waiting for the command.
They have modified their submarines to be able to put old Russian SLBMs on there with a ton warhead (nuke)... they could send a bunch of those subs away a few weeks ago... then start all this shit while the Pentagon focuses on Guam and Japan... totally ignoring the subs... then the subs launch off California and then it's too late... DC, Austin and San Diego are gone... San Diego (home of the fifth fleet).
Seriously, WHERE ARE THE AIRCRAFT CARRIERS RIGHT NOW??
or Russia just gave them permission to set off Russia's already-on-site-in-big-US-cities stockpile - using N Korea as a front/mouthpiece
they don't even need to modify to launch slbms - they have a sizable force of kilo subs, which run quieter than our nuke subs. load a couple of those bad boys up with a warhead with a couple of enterprising young lads ready to die for their country, park it off the coast a few hundred meters and pull the ripcord...i'm just spitballing here though...
What good is a crazy uncle in the attic? Well, everybody knows that he is crazy and if something goes down he takes the blame.
N. Korea is on a Chinese leash. A freighter in the Gulf of Mexico would put medium range missiles within reach of the heartland. Let loose a viable EMP attack on the United States. We light up N. Korea like a Christmas tree. The Chinese feign outrage while we collapse and our population drops by 90%. Russia takes Europe. China occupies the U.S. The rest of the world’s oil will then be sorted out between Russia and China.
Ultra-Mega Bullish!!!!
The Chinese really do need to intervene.
I go Gangnam style you face Bitchez! Then What?
Washington D.C. would be an interesting start.
As long as congress is in session...
In other news, Cyprus "temporary" capital controls were extended for 1 week.
final approval? really?
If he wants to make an impact hit Wall Street and Washington DC. All the rest has much less of an impact.
All you people who bought a condo or Manhattan get a front-row seat to an air nuke burst and vaporization.
It's a pincer movement ...with NK bombing from the West, Iran bombing from the East and the joint forces of Bernanke's and Krugman's socialists blowing everything up from North/South and every other direction, the whole US is a gonner I tell yer.
R.I.P.
please bomb DC first.
This is just the comedy warm up.
Aliens are the main event (November).
ydf november?
They would not be stupid enough to launch on the U.S. mainland, or Alaska. The flight time would almost assure it would be taken out, particularly since we are already watching them close.
The better option would be to pop one off from one of their mobile launchers into the south end of Seoul or one of the bases even further South. They might even get lucky with a shot at Japan. Much shorter flight times. No reentry needed. Far better chance of success before they are turned into fused glass.
Sucks to be long Nomura.
Final approval from who?
Ben & Mario
Koronel Blimp I believe.
Israel.

AFP: North Korean Army has approval to launch "mercilesss" nuclear strike on U.S. involving possible use of "cutting edge" nuclear weapons
— Sky News Newsdesk (@SkyNewsBreak) April 3, 2013
Blah,blah,blah,blah.............you skin head bitch,and before they got 25 miles into the air they will be destroyed, and a dozen or so Neutrons will wipe out 70% of your country's citizens,Bring it you black mailing liar with a Hilter haircut.Like Grandpa, like Dad, nothing but BS to blackmail the US for more billions, only to be hit with the same BS, in another 3-4 yrs.
Do it or SHUT UP.
Rodman's psychic
huh?
A problem for China. Want to be a world power? Contain your short mad kid with a bad haircut who is on your turf. His father was a brilliant operator of the 'mad man theory' to profit himself and his clique. Therefore, neutralised.
The kid is spoilt brat with nukes. Sort it.
This is a BS destraction while O destroys Amerika. idiots who watch Tv and hollywood's shit will eat this propaganda fake false flag shit up. You sound like a TV viewer.
This is not going to increase Obama's approval rating. How long until the fallout hits the beaches. I'm going jogging while I can.
Although it seems stupidly counter-productive for the North Koreans to have a go at Guam (the only US territory their hardware might be able to reach), I keep think of Hitler in WW2, deciding to go to war against the US... Didn't Hitler declare against the US almost by accident, having wound himself up during a speech?
dont you think they have a suitcase nuke inside US ?
They have a WMD in the White Hut who cannot hit shit from the free throw line.
Blame idiots who watch TV and Hollywood's shit for enabling the mass destruction of Amerika. The media controls the minds of fools. Plenty of idiiots here who watch CNBC and Bloomturd TV. TV is for idiots.
Send Kim Jong-un and the genearals mail to piss them off.
I am much more afraid of the fucking gooks on the highway !!!
No objective observer can deny that the Orientals, taken collectively, are in fact truly bad drivers, at least in Western cities. It makes me wonder how they perform behind the wheel in their OWN cities.
Why is this? Is it just the squinty eyes, or some deeper psycho-motor genetic malfunction?
Or could it be the fault of their particular brand of citizenism?
I credit a ZHer on this one.
Q. How do you blind an Asian woman?
A. Put her behind a windshield.
Good one, although I take issue with the use of the word "Asian" here, as clearly in this context the word "Oriental" is the appropriate one (nobody I have ever heard accuses Russians or Turks or Arabs of being particularly bad drivers, and they are all Asians too).
Really? Have you ever seen a Rooski woman behind the wheel? There's a reason the men don't let it happen!
Go drive in Russia. They SUCK. Their idea of proper vehicle clearance is measured in millimeters. Traffic lanes? Never heard of them.
I guess I stand corrected!
Although your complaints could equally be leveled against almost any driver in South America or Africa as well.
Asientals

Hey, at least the ground-based midcourse system works so well! That, by the way, is sarcasm. The assembled personages appear not to have read the National Academies report, which described the ground-based midcourse system as "fragile" and recommended stopping the procurement of the ground-based interceptor (sometimes derisively called the George Bush Interceptor.)
The last successful intercept test of the system was in 2008. Overall, the record of flight tests is 8 successes in 15 tries, or a bit over 50 percent. Little wonder the Missile Defense Agency likes to call flight tests "Pucker Time."
The GMD system performs as badly or worse on "intercept" tests -- tests in which it tries to hit a target -- with only two successes in five tries since 2005. Now, you might ask why there have been so few tests of this system since 2005. Well, I am happy to tell you. In 2005, the Welch Panel -- chaired by the Washington institution that is General Larry Welch -- concluded that ongoing test failures were undermining the deterrent value of the system. So, the Missile Defense Agency scaled back testing to less than one intercept test per year as, evidently, integrated flight tests hate our freedoms. Tests are also monstrously expensive, as George Lewis has noted, costing several hundred million dollars or more, depending on how much you spend on figuring out what went wrong.
The poor test record is important to understand why the National Academies concluded the GMD system was "fragile." When you hear a U.S. official expressing "high confidence" in our ability to intercept a North Korean missile, he or she is assuming the GMD system fires five interceptors at each incoming North Korean missile. (Do the math: A mere 50-50 chance of intercept repeated five times against a target will result in an intercept 97 percent of the time.)
The decision to add 14 interceptors for $1 billion, therefore, will pose an almost impenetrable barrier to North Korea -- unless they build three more missiles. Salvo-launching five low-reliability interceptors is hopelessly inefficient. It is much easier for North Korea to build more missiles than it is for us to purchase five times as many interceptors. This is a mug's game.
Now for the really fun part: Let's say one of these interceptors does manage to hit an incoming North Korean missile. While the folks at Greely are celebrating with a little Harlem Shake, what's happening with the other interceptors we shot off? If you said "They are lighting up the early-warning radars as they streak into the heart of Mother Russia," you win a prize! I am sure there is no chance that will spark an accidental nuclear war, the firing-missiles-into-Russia-on-purpose thing. There is no way the Russians could miss a North Korean missile launch or get an itchy trigger finger when they see missiles converging on their country.

According to the officials, the PLA has stepped up military mobilization in the border region with North Korea since mid-March, including troop movements and warplane activity.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/01/china-mobilizing-troops-jets-...
China's navy also conducted live-firing naval drills by warships in the Yellow Sea that were set to end Monday near the Korean peninsula, in apparent support of North Korea, which was angered by ongoing U.S.-South Korean military drills that are set to continue throughout April.

Any conventional attack from the North would likely begin with an artillery barrage, which could include chemical weapons. The North Koreans have 5,000 tons of chemical warheads, Klingner said.
"They would try to overwhelm U.S. and Korean forces with volume," he said.
The artillery barrage would probably be followed by a blitzkrieg of tanks. The North has at least 4,000 tanks, though most of them are older Soviet-era models. Mechanized forces and infantry could also pour across the border. The North's special forces could infiltrate south in advance of an assault.
U.S. warplanes would attempt to destroy the artillery and tanks quickly in precision airstrikes, said Michael O'Hanlon, a military analyst at the Brookings Institution. The worst case: a nuclear missile or aircraft carrying such a weapon could slip through the South's defenses.
Any initial assault would face about 28,500 U.S. troops and about 600,000 troops in the South Korean armed forces.
"In the war game simulations eventually we prevail, but it's World War I (levels of) casualties," Klingner said.

A poll shows that 34 percent of first-year army cadets called the United States the main enemy of South Korea, a former superintendent of the Korea Military Academy (KMA) said.
In addition, according to a survey of a group of conscripted soldiers conducted by the Ministry of Defense, about 75 percent of them said they have anti-U.S. sentiment.
Also interesting was that only 36% of new recruits believed liberal democracy was superior to communism.
and a 2005 Gallup Korea poll of Koreans ages 16—25 in which 65% said that if a war were to break out between North Korea and the United States, they would help North Korea.
All bullish...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Rocket_Forces_%28North_Korea%29
The Korean People's Navy is not known to have any ballistic missile submarines in its inventory, but has acquired 2 Foxtrot class and 10 Golf-II class submarines for scrapping in 1993. The latter are capable of firing three SLBM. It is possible that North Korea has refurbished some of those with the help of more than 20 Russian experts or upgraded them to accommodate the larger Musudan-1.[14] Another option is that their launch tubes have been studied, and either externally fitted to Romeo/Whiskey-class submarines, or simply deployed on a cargo ship.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BM25_Musudan
The BM25 Musudan, also known under the names Taepodong X, Nodong / Rodong-B and Mirim, is a mobile intermediate-range ballistic missile developed by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. The Musudan was first revealed to the international community in a military parade on 10 October 2010 celebrating the Korean Worker's Party's 65th anniversary, although experts believe these were mock-ups of the missile.[2][3] The Musudan resembles the shape of the Soviet Union's R-27 Zyb submarine-launched missile, but is slightly longer.
Musudan
Launch weight: 20,654 kg
Diameter: 1.50 m
Total Length: 12 m
Payload: 1,000 kg
Warhead: single
Maximum range: 3,000–4,000 km
CEP: 1.3 km
Launch platform: North Korean-produced TEL, resembling a stretched and modified MAZ-543; cargo ships or modified submarines
According to sources, they have between 12-200 of those missiles... And they can put a nuke on it...
perhaps they have been delivered long ago...
Any country dumb enough to elect a arab/african/chinoid usurper through rigged (2) elections deserves to be nuked.
Does this mean Iran is off the hook for now?
Final approval from who? The Fed and ECB?
The Chinese umbrella will protect their own interest in stability in the region.
Sweet Baby Jesus! They gone and did it! They just fired a missile,,oh wait scratch that my bad, someone lit a fart.
Why do people keep replying to first comment instead creating new one? Comments get too narrow this way.
we jus wanna belong...
now you gotta greenie me pretty please?
such as, 'greased pigs tryin to climb a flag pole'
NKorea gets China's secret blessing to nuke the US and China publicly dissaproves the measure. Meanwhile they decide to nuke our economy by selling the shit out of all the USTs they've been hoarding for years forcing interest rates higher, Bernanke to ease more (which the market wont buy this time), Krugman to have a stroke and gold explodes above $2000 oz. While I'd rather not get nuked, I kind of like gold higher so this is my story and I'm sticking with it. Heard it here first.
and Russia's blessing, who inserted the nukes in our cities a long time ago - ref Lunev - and are using N Korea as their mouthpiece. So the nukes are set off, then NK comes back with a set of demands or they will set off the next round.
Now, Five: If, on the other hand, we were to immediately launch an all-out and coordinated attack on all their airfields and missile bases, we'd stand a damn good chance of catchin' 'em with their pants down. Hell, we've got a five-to-one missile superiority as it is. We could easily assign three missiles to every target and still have a very effective reserve force for any other contingency. Now, Six: An unofficial study [he rifled through a binder entitled World Targets in Megadeaths], which we undertook of this eventuality, indicated that we would destroy 90% of their nuclear capabilities. We would therefore prevail and suffer only modest and acceptable civilian casualties from the remaining force which would be badly damaged and uncoordinated.
Heck, it's only San Francisco and LA that we are talking about. They'd be doing us a favor.
WE...MUST....HAVE...ENEMIES...
BANKSTERS LOVE WAR.
Oh great! And now the Fed starts jaw-boning about stopping it's bond purchases. LOL!!!! Like that would ever happen now. They're past the point of no return.
http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2013/04/03/feds-williams-bond-purchases-m...I see, that's the real threat.
Oh, hey - they're totally fracked now, ey? Pass me a beer and the welding glasses.
Yawn...
If it ever happens (unlikely), it'll be like those Scud Missiles from Baghdad Bob. Totally useless. popcorn not required.
http://original.antiwar.com/justin/2013/04/02/explaining-north-korea/
Is that map off straight off of Fearmongering Monthly? They have no ballistic missiles.
The hyperventilation is astounding given the rhetoric hasnt changed in 60 years.
The only way to defuse this is to ignore the rogue state. But we continue to escalate the situation, daring NK to do something.
1.) Currency wars
2.) The real deal, war!
3.) Banksters make large sums of money from wars.
Wow, they're STILL developing the TaePoDong 2? That thing was all the rage when I was in AFIntel... back in 2000. The twitter feed should read: "North Korean Army free to lob skeet rockets for US anti-ballistic batteries in South Korea." Or maybe "North Korean Army Now Authorized to Fire Nuclear Rockets at Hawaii Battleship-style"
