Korea's Boy Who Cried Wolf Is Now Screaming "Thermonuclear War"
The boy who cried wolf is now openly screaming "thermonuclear war." No, really. AFP reports that North Korea said Tuesday the Korean peninsula was headed for "thermo-nuclear" war and advised foreigners to consider leaving South Korea, as the UN chief warned of a potentially "uncontrollable" situation. "Tuesday's advisory -- greeted largely with indifference -- followed a similar one last week to foreign embassies in Pyongyang, to consider evacuating by April 10 on the grounds war may break out. "The situation on the Korean Peninsula is inching close to a thermo-nuclear war," the Asia-Pacific Peace Committee said in a statement carried by the North's official Korean Central News Agency." The result - a big yawn, which sadly for Kim Junior is the worst reaction. After all what is a dictator with an inferiority complex and a laughable military to do to get some respect around here and score some "nuisance value" cash from the superpowers (which has been his entire plan all along).
The problem is he has done all the possible jawboning he could, and the next option is i) to follow through on one or more of his endless and increasingly idiotic threats, or ii) step back from the "thermonuclear" brink and be on the lookout for a military coup as he has pushed so far he can't possible retrace without losing all credibility, and fear a violent overthrow. Naturally, both options are hardly appetizing but the time to chose is rapidly approaching. And if he can't make up his mind, the increasingly ample US military presence in the region will be happy to make it for him.
Saying it did not want to see foreigners in South Korea "fall victim", the statement requested all foreign institutions, enterprises and tourists "to take measures for shelter and evacuation".
The committee blamed the heightened war risk on the "warmongering US" and its South Korean "puppets" who were intent on invasion.
The US dismissed the warning as "unhelpful" on Tuesday. White House spokesman Jay Carney criticised Pyongyang for more "unhelpful rhetoric that serves only to escalate tensions".
The "thermo-nuclear war" threat has been wielded several times in recent months -- most recently on March 7 -- despite expert opinion that North Korea is nowhere near developing such an advanced nuclear device.
"It is our current assessment that there is no immediate risk to British nationals in South Korea," a British embassy spokesman said, echoing similar statements from the US, French and other missions.
Last week's warning to embassies in Pyongyang was also largely dismissed as empty rhetoric, with most governments making it clear they had no plans to withdraw personnel.
Hollow warnings galore:
Yonhap news agency Tuesday cited South Korean intelligence as saying the North had completed preparations for an expected missile test-launch -- possibly to coincide with April 15 celebrations for the birthday of late founder Kim Il-Sung.
Japan, where the armed forces have been authorised to shoot down any North Korean missile headed towards its territory, said Tuesday it had deployed Patriot missiles in its capital as a pre-emptive defence measure.
A top US military commander said Tuesday that he favoured shooting down a North Korean missile only if it threatened the United States or Washington's allies in the region.
When asked by lawmakers if he supported knocking out any missile fired by North Korea, Admiral Samuel Locklear, head of US Pacific Command, said: "I would not recommend that".
But he told the Senate Armed Services Committee he would "certainly recommend" intercepting an incoming North Korean missile "if it was in defence of our allies" or the United States.
And from an "interception" to very rapid escalation, it is only a drone throw away. Escalation, that is, which is completely under the control of the US military, and which is presented to the world in such flashing red headlines that the GETCO algos translate each incremental development into yet another ES liftathon frenzy. Because what better way to go out at the all time S&P top than in a mushroom cloud blaze of glory.

Thermonucular War? You know what that means...
SHORT SQUEEZE, BITCHEZ!
awwww, me so asian, cant see out of eyes.awwww
LOL
An egomaniac with an inferiority complex
Off to Dictators Anonymous with you
And get a decent haircut
What are you talkin' about?! That's a pretty damn good $6.00 haircut!
Piglet might want to rethink his approach..
The banking racket is going to need to be destroying a lot stuff to justify their next twist.
Jeez.....just in time to take our minds off the Cyprus fiatsco.
Lets see if this Gook Asian Piglet Jr has the balls to back up to what he says....coz its hard to find a any World Leader who keeps their words nowadays.
Look, lil' fatty isn't calling any shots here, this is all his military handlers. They don't let this kid do anything except look at shit and fire the occasional handgun.
They are pretty thoroughly fucked though, even China isn't buying their shit anymore.
China could stop all this, NK is entirely dependent on them. I wonder why the haven't yet.
Seal Team 6 should have a talk with this little POS
Somone call in "Team America"
America--fuck yeah!
So Ronery :(
Why do these N. Korea dictators need so much dog gone attention?
The Korean Boy Who Cried "Worf!"
Little Kim doesn't want to lose his lifestyle. Regardless of what he says.
I'm pretty sure that the Nokos don't have thermonuclear (ie fusion) warheads. Maybe they are talking about what they will get nuked with after they go full retard and nuke someone.
Makes you wonder if Tim Cook knew beforehand how this would develop and accelerated the transfer of iOS processor manufacturing from Samsung to TSMC in Taiwan.
"If you can't beat them, thermo-nuke them"?
Time to short android (GOOG) and go long AAPL?
Why would NK eliminate the element of surprise if something was truly planned? That is, unless they know they have China's backing or even marching orders...

"Fail-Safe," by Burdick and Wheeler ( 1962 ). A novel which I highly recommend.
The 1964 Sidney Lumet film of the same title, starring Henry Fonda, is also extremely well done, and a faithful representation of the novel.
I'm starting to wonder if our 'friend' Dennis Rodman was nothing more...
then a messenger for his visit to DPRK?
.
You know the news that you just cant send via hotmail so every fuckin eaves dropper is waiting to pickup...some real juicy news...
.
Like, who would ever believe Dennis Rodman is nothing more then a cross dressing ex-NBA star and joke? Hardly a serious person to do anything of importance while visiting one of the hardest countries on this earth?
Thats why it might be brilliant.
.
He comes back and now all hell breaks lose? Some serious war talk and bulshit...interesting
.
Howard Stern on his radio show (apparently) asked him when he came back, "if he was debriefed." And Dennis just laughed it off and said nah he wasnt 'debriefed'...guilty?
.
Just a big ole smoke and mirror occult shit show.
Too bad Fukushima isn't in NOKO. Then he could've gone thermonuclear on SOKO without starting a war.
Not to worry. Here's why:

"Remember Hiroshima, Round Eye! Orrrrh wait, that not come out right."
NK military intelligence informed Kim that D. Rodman and B.H. Obama are actually 2 different people. So he's hopping mad. Can you blame him? I think not.
I had to down arrow you, SWA, because you just don't drop a Special Forces team into the middle of a military state to assasinate a sovereign leader, while we are not at war with that military state.
Extensive danger to the Special Forces team, and an American President will not accept this risk at this point in time. Any faux pas, and you start a war to which that American President does not want their name associated.
It's ridiculous.
You mean what's left of Seal Team 6.
Seal Team Six was disbanded in 1987. We roll with DEVGRU and JSOC now.
How do you get green glass throughout N. Korea?
Drug the population's water supply so it causes massive kimchi farts.
potassium dichromate
mixed with sand, soda ash and limestone
will give you a nice green glass...
China wasn't going to stop him until someone made the $6.00 hair cut remark. Game over.
Because syria and iran are more important to china....and they dont want anyone paying attention
This is my theory, as well.
The North Korean shenanigans are an effort to get the world spotlight off of Syria and Iran for awhile.
The Iranians, with the agreement of the Chinese, pay North Korea and Kim to act the fool.
Kim gets energy (oil) and/or western currency, and Iran gets breathing room.
This guy has abolutely gone Middle-East bat shit crazy without any oil. I think they'll probably leave him alone then.
My thought exactly - Mr. Piggy ain't calling any shots.
Just like the submarine thing and the shelling - it was generals making the calls.
Wasn't Un raised by MI6 babysitters at a private school in Switzerland?
Or was that Rothschils baysitters, hmm,...
I bet this guy is a great chess player but only without pawns, bishops, knights, castles, queens or kings on the board.

Multiple reports of PRC border crossing with #DPRK now being closed to tourists.
Whats the latest ham intel?
Hey, give a boy some break. He's under lots of stress. He's really between a hammer (USA) and a rock (China).
Between a ROK and a hard place.
Let's give him a breaker, get him some Polonium, North Koreans will appreciate it.
I originally thought when his father died, one of those old generals with the oversized hats would off him within 6 weeks. Viewing the situation today, I think it was simply a matter of bad timing on my part. Another 6 weeks ought to do it.
Generals should be smart enough to know a good fall guy when they see one.
A $6.00 haircut there is a $6,000 haircut here.
I thought he was the only North Korean allowed that specific haircut?

Greetings Professor, would you like to play a game ?
Yes, lets play global thermonuclear war.
Wouldnt you rather play a nice game of chess ?
Later.
ahh beat me to it:

I wonder what the "game" would've looked like if, instead, they played "regional thermo-nuclear war" w/North Korea as the adversary?
How about a nice game of Theater-wide Biotoxic and Chemical Warfare?
Oops ... just set off the alarms in Utah. Shit!
1983 betamax is the shit!!!!
BetaMax, like Khan, was superior, but that isn't always enough.
The missile will probably take a nose dive into the ocean and explode in a half assed boom and a splash – should be easy picking up of some fish though.
I sure hope this doesn’t hinder North Korea’s efforts on global warming.
They may not even need a missile. It may already be up there and approaching soon.
On12-12-12 N. Korea launched a satellite called Kwang Myong Song 3 or KMS 3-2. For the next week or so this satellite goes over most of the eastern U.S. at around 330 miles altitude from north to south.
Does it have EMP potential.
Is the Death Star approaching.
Track it real time...

Rahm Emmanuel: "Never let a real crisis go to waste.". comes to mind. I'm betting this presents a real Opportunity to TPTB.

Humm... If South Korea is nuked, what are the exports to the United States that would be effected?
Only General Tao Chicken ...
Kimchi?
Gingham?
Maybe have to trade in Snookis to keep things going
If the Norks toss a nuke on SK, I quite suspect that a lot of other nations would join in to dog-pile the little fucker in to the bottom of what would become the largest crater in the universe. Besides probably cross contaminating his entire country, he would end up with zero allies.
Someone needs to remind this little bitch who runs Bartertown.
Good one. ROFL; go ancona.
Do you really think he is 'acting' on his own?
Kim -III is actually a puppet for his 4-star general auntie.
1st dick tater = Kim iLL sun, dad
2nd dick tater = Kim jong iLL, his son
3rd dick taster = Kim Kyong-Hui , his daughter -->BUTT... can't have no girl dick tater in Norkville
so we have chubby, nutless kim jong un (as in, unattractive) for the cameras & agitprops.
So it's really simple.
He is either acting on behalf of the CIA or China/Russia
From where I sit, you've just identified three fingers of the same hand.
Kim (KardasJong) Un? There's gotta be a joke in there somewhere.
Ancona: +5 for the "crater" concept.
I liked the "dog pile" piece.
When I was in grade school we called those "nigger piles" (for no good reason which I was ever aware).
I'm guessing that that would be considered politically incorrect nowadays.
The French would be there lickety split
All safe to pile on!
Don't they make Kia Sorentos there?
And tires.
A shortage of parts for your samsung and LG appliances. Televisons jump in price. China is the only sourcer.
China gets to see how the US fights and deploys nukes to see weaknesses.
This fat dude is the cat's pajamas as far as potential distractions go. The powers-that-be must love him.

Moar Woar.
It'll be epic. Blow the buildings up, then rebuild them.
Time to channel my inner Krugman again: Double Plus Good!
And the bridges too, don't forget to blow up the bridges. Especially the steel ones. Bridges, dams, highways, blow them all up. Defoliate. I want napalm. Give me napalm.
God I love the smell of broken windows in the morning!

Meh. This fat turd, his father before him, right back to grandpa Kim have all been singing the same old tune every time they needed a few bucks to pay the top goons and the expensive trips to Switzerland to boogie with the other megalomaniacs in downtown Zurich.
It's no different to the rhetoric they announce every bloody year, except the msm is broadcasting it loud and clear with ominous mood music to get the hysterics out of your average amnesiac.
The good news is, nobody is paying attention, and the other good news is his own uncles and cousins in the top brass might arrange a little accident for him when they see how useless he is at intimidation. The guy has already shown all his cards and now the only option he faces is total annihilation either by us or by his own top brass. I like the way it is playing out. Risk of thermonuclear war? Zero.
The "Good News" might be bad news. Maybe Kim Jung Un have already crossed a line when cleansing the army leadership with torture and execution? They dont trust him anymore and perhaps he realises that important people needs to be handled and kept busy (before they can be disposed of) is becoming absolutely necessary to ensure personal survival?
Getting a good portion of the rapidly aging army killed honorably on the battle field, as has been promised the last 50++ years, might solve a lot of internal problems (disciplinary and economic) for the Great Leader - there might even be a Nobel Peace Price on the end of it as a bonus for having "a change of heart", "showing leadership" and whatnot when signing a peace agreement that ends the Korean War, which was so unfortunately started by "rogue generals".
There is no need to go nuclear. North Korea have amassed insane amounts of regular artillery - enough to make a lasting impression on Seol - even if every gun and mortar only manage to get one round off!
Artillery on Seoul is indeed a real and horrific scenario. I won't discount your possible theory just because I didn't think of it. The consensus is that he's a puppet controlled by his older relatives, according to defectors, who in turn may be influenced by outside forces that benefit the "family business" the most. Of course you may be right, but my experiences with the region tell me that I've seen this too many times to lose sleep over an old play.
Speaking of Korean short squeeze, I laughed my ass off in the second Hangover movie when they woke up, saw the shitake mushroom, and it was really Our Dear Korean Leader's tiny dick.
Good for +100 on the Dow
Yep - nothing is so bullish for GDP as global thermonuclear war.
Think of all the infrastructure that will have to be rebuilt!
Think about the percentage of the workforce having jobs skyrocketing as 30% of the people are gone instantly!
Obamacare? Medicare? Old people are more susceptible to radiation poisoning. Medicare expenses gone!
I am not sure why Bernanke did not think of this solution earlier. This would have saved him big time. He is just not as smart as NK is. They see the obvious solution to jump start their economy and are taking action to make it happen.
Good news! Good news!
Someone should have slipped something other than "War Games" in his DVD player (well probably VCR in Korea norte) at last month's Pyonyang movie night:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecPeSmF_ikc
he uses betamax
What is it with these Asians and their insatiable love of radiation?
Just another potential black swan.
Think of the gdp growth! I mean the re building of the countries will make their stock markets soar. Construction spending and healthcare is i will be placing my funds alongside the smart money.
Dr Paul Krugman
short fat douche bitchez!
Come on Un-Kim! Do it....teach these appeasers a lesson! This has been BS for way to long...
Here's a scenario, an EMP goes off. We blame the financial collapse on it. We respond with nukes on Korea. The radiation from Fukushima is blamed on those nukes. Everyone just accepts that we had to kill the madman and now we're all in this together.
Almost as explosive as Bitcoin's rise today. Including the 295/BTC exchange earlier. Thankfully has settled a bit more. A crash would be better than this continued growth.

"A crash would be better than this continued growth."
Coming to a theatre near you soon.
I'm having a hard time believing that this continued growth isn't a setup for a crash.
Kind of like when silver went from $40 to $50 then... woosh!
Hegelism at its finest.
Will somebody please fly a plane load of Benny bucks over there and shut the little boy up?
how about a plane load of 500 Euro notes?
Finally a use for that trillion dollar coin!
Needs to be done soon as even the banks are Woori[ed] about cash

Correction: ROR
Time is up! His father was the last korean dictator who offered such a buyout. This one not so much.
We just need a few nukes to go off, that should carry us to DOW 20,000 Bitchez
Boom! bitchez!
I heard John Fucking Kerry is on the way over with cash. Stay calm Kimmy, it's on the way
welll... BOMBS AWAY!!!
I don't care what the game is but I rather cheer at the thought that America kills that guy.
I only hope that the poor and weak don't suffer much more.

Me too - don't want war, but wouldn't mind a bit if that rotund little despot and his advisors were given a permanent haircut.
Which is why he is being set up to fail so spectacularly. He's likely been programmed to go supernova since the day he was born.
MSM distraction and diversionary propaganda.
Pay attention to the left hand while the right hand continues to picks your pocket.
Bingo!
Anybody else notice the US PTB and press started happy horse shit all over this guy and the troubles well before he became seriously downright maniacally bellicose?
I mean leave well enough alone and lotta times it just goes the fuck away
Just seems like a bit of the olde "We're gonna take them insured deposits." crap lifting things to an unnecessary next level.
Not that he isn't a raving lunatic, a crime against humanity ....
Remember, every war monger needs a casus belli.

Either they find someone to start their wars, or the banksters might end up getting the blame for the collapse of society.
Very applicable!
too true!
Krugman's pants are getting tight.
Great. Good luck getting THAT image out.
I'm picturing him with that dopey wide-eyed expression on his face, mouth partially agape and nestled in the middle of that weak beard of his, holding his cat against his fat belly while he strokes it just a little too quickly, and a little too forcefully as the CNN ticker rolls by.
As the cat cums in his hand
I was going to add "as his feline companion climaxed all over his wool sweater," but if you insist on debasing zerohedge with crude language then so be it.
LOL
Thats the best laugh I've had in weeks THX
Catspunk soiling sweaters is good for the economy --- more dry cleaning services, more resources used, more economic activity generated!
I would have guessed the japanese money printers have Paul all out of woodies
Time to buy NK high yields!
The dong family needs a new hobby.
Canoeing can be great fun...
the elder statesmen are wayyyyy too comfortable with their lifestyle to let this ranting child ruin it for them.......................war is not happening.............
Someone needs to sit him down with some Jack Daniels, and tell him how things are.
Mr. Daniels don't cotton to them political types.
Naw, not the JD. They will just fight over the last swig.
Roll em all big fatty's instead, and then let them smoke until they can't see straight. Yup!
Maybe not today... but you can bet, in due time, this is all part of WWIII.
Besides, statesmen (elder or not) are two-bit players compared to those really calling the shots.
dont worry, this will be interpreted as positive for the market.
dow 16,000 in 2 weeks.
this fucking market is ticking me off, i hope every bastard who is invested in this ponzi scheme loses there shirt, mainly all hedge fund douchebags
Time to put on your Thermo underwear Bitchez !!!
This shits for real....
Than off to the vault, for the next roughly 30 years ...
Any chance one of your dual-weilding politicians can talk the Mossad into shuting him up?
I'll talk to mine if you lot cant sort it, you have bigger guns like.
the guy who frightens me is his barber.
Imagine that poor fucker living in fear every moment of every day worrying about whats gonna happen to him if he screws up his haircut.
I mean for the love of humanity, man!
The sides of his fat head have got to be smoother than a baby's behind!
Hm, I wonder if they could not develop some rather primitive thermo-nuclear device that at least fits into a TEU container, and ship it over to the south on some lousy truck or boat ...
Now THAT is one hellofa suicide bomber!
Seoul is so close to the border. They could just sneek up....
