Anonymous Attacks North Korea

[JokerboyJordan]

I seriously would support any military action to take out the government in North Korea, just to liberate the millions dying under the regime.

For shits and gigs it should be China who does it. Imagine, your only possible friend in the world coming into your house and stabbing you in the back to claim glory of your puny body.

 

[Vegosiux]

The only reason they make statements like the one you are shaking and whimpering over is so that they can gain international acceptance. "look at us, we are willing to go toe to toe with the most deadly military in the world. No really we are! We can do it! Please consider us a legitimate threat and deal with us on equal footing! ...Please?"

I think it's more that "the new guy in charge" has to "prove he's worthy of his father's name" lest an unfortunate accident befall him; and that basically means giving the hardline military leadership free lease to stir up shit. My personal opinion? Kim Jong Un isn't exactly an ace of spades, but more like a seven of clubs if we talk the card-styled wanted lists.

All it would take is about three launches at most and possibly only one well-placed launch to force the DPRK back to the negotiating table

Nuking North Korea? Yeah I'm pretty sure that South Korea, Japan, China and Russia would be overjoyed to have to deal with the fallout that gets swept their way by the winds. Radioactivity and irradiated soil don't care about national borders.

For shits and gigs it should be China who does it. Imagine, your only possible friend in the world coming into your house and stabbing you in the back to claim glory of your puny body.

That friendship is all but done. China has told them repeatedly to calm the fuck down. The lastest batch of sanctions went unopposed in UNSC, with both Russia and China voting in favor. And while Russia has up to this point tried the "everyone calm down and avoid escalation" rhetoric, their last response was "North Korea's continuos defiance to the UN resolution is nothing short of appalling".

They're more like the North Korean bee. A bear is a credible threat, all a bee can do is kill itself to try to hurt you.

Maybe the bee is hoping you're allergic...


Anyway.

If DRPK tries to mobilize, their infrastructure is liable to implode within hours. But in that time, they can still shell the fuck out of whatever is in range of their artillery, and it doesn't matter that artillery is outdated by mothern standards, those things still hurt, those things still kill.

History loves irony. It's also full of examples of just what happens whenever people go "Let's just blast them, it's going to be a quick and easy war, and we'll make it home in time for dinner."

Lot of misplaced faith in the west/USA'a military capabilities in this thread, cuba , korea, vietnam i know they get spun a lot but if were honest not exactly victories were they? were a month off the 10 year anniversary of the victory in iraq according to Bush but last i heard the body counts still going up daily. And the Afghan war....

OK the DPRK is backwards in a lot of ways , but they have a 5 million reservists with 3-5 years military training more than most US army does now. they have the largest fleets of subs in the world , the most special forces of any nation. they may have old jets but they do have 1700 of them. They must have at least 1000 computers for 1000 cyber warfare specialists the military has. they arent constrained by any treaties and use those blinding lazers the chinese developed that got outlawed. they do have EMP bombs gps scramblers a fuck tun load of heavy artillery and tanks.

sure they may not have a delivery method for their nukes, but of course they might its not like the UN inspectors get to go in there and we dont exactly have a good accounting of where all the old soviet stock piles went either, we do know for a fact though that they do possess a large stockpile of both chemical and bio weapons. did they get a batch of small pox off the old soviet regime? want to find out the damage a vial of that will do in a modern metropolitan city? or a weaponised Ebola strain


The very simple reason we don't go in and remove the regime is simply because we can't , the nuclear option? well apart from the hopefully obvious moral problem of wiping out a country to get rid of a regime , get yourself a map of the area, your going to do a lot of damage to china and japan a part of russia , 3 countries you probably dont want to piss off in a nuke throwing competition.

 

[Something Amyss]

North Korea has computers advanced enough to connect to the internet?!

Not all of them. Just 30 or so.

But seriously, internet access is pretty restricted in North Korea, and it's not internet access as we know it.

 

[Darks63]

Anonymous! Setting in motion events that will lead to the death of millions of innocent South Koreans!

...would someone remind me why people support these guys?

You... do realise that North Korea has about 5 computers in the whole fucking country... I doubt many N. Korean citizens even know about this, than alone actually saw the message.

And all five of those computers are in the hands of a megalomaniac with nuclear weapons who would view this as an act of war! =p

Somehow, if North Korea decides to fire a missile because of this, Im gonna have a hard time not laughing about it, even if it does do damage somewhere. just the thought of Someone going, "these people made a mockery of us on the internet, FIRE THE MISSILE!"... hell its funny thinking about it now...

Yeah but do you really want Anon to have the bragging right of " We trolled em into firing nukes?" The amount of nerdgasm from those guys would prolly stink up the internet for months after.

 

[Quantum Glass]

I know it's impossible from an engineering standpoint, but I just got the image in my head of Anonymous accidentally gaining the controls to an entire nuclear arsenal out of this. The confusion over what happened and what they should do with it seems like it would be hilarious, although what would happen after they figured out what they wanted to do would be decidedly not.

On an unrelated note, I wonder if all this means there are North Korean Anonymous members?

Somehow, if N. Korea does fire its nukes, im sure people wont give a shit about Anon or anything they do for months afterwards, maybe years if N. Korea actually hit something and kills thousands of people.

 

[geizr]

Nope. Anonymous will not receive any praise from me for this action. They are a loose cannon that simply does whatever they want, to whomever they want, for whatever reason they want. They do not speak for the people, they do not represent the people, and they do not fight for the people because they take no input from the people. They hold no consistency of values, morales, or ethics other than whatever strikes their whims. They exercise poor judgement in their actions in how they are accepting of innocents as collateral damage for their so-called crusades. They claim freedom of speech while denying to others. No, I will never see them as heroes in any way, shape, or form, and I will not cheer them in this action. They are simply muddying the waters and potentially provoking an already unstable government to rash action.

 

[bigfatcarp93]

Yeah, I wouldn't really worry. Our defense systems are so airtight, they can't really touch us. Hell, we wouldn't even have to retaliate if they did. We could just sit here and watch, bemused, as they jump up and down angrily and yell at us, or send more missiles. Either one would be just as effective.

 

[Pebkio]

Bullshit.
Here's how it actually went down:

*On a random 4chan forum somewhere*
Anonymous Person 1: Oh guys, check it out: My buddies and I just did some amazing shit.
Anon 2: Oh it was great, we totally got into North Korea's servers and made Kim look like a pig.
Anon 3: Oh hey! We should put Mickey Mouse on his chest. Wait, let me go fix that real quick...
Anon 2: Hahaha that's funny as hell.
Random Asshole: Yeah! And we should totally claim this as an act of Anonymous and declare that we'll help free NK.
Anon 2: What? That's dumb. Who are you? That's not funny at all...
Anon 1: Dude, he's an idiot. Don't even talk to this one, he thinks he's a hardcore hacktivist or something.
Random Asshat: There, sent, I wrote up this really eloquent speech in, like, 5 minutes. We're going to save the world.
Anon 3: I'm back... had to put it on his stomach instead. What did I miss?
Anon 2: This dunce is sending messages to the press pretending to be us.
Anon 3: Again? Dammit RA, knock it off, that stopped being funny back in the 60s.
Random Ass: Viva La Resistance.
Anon 1: That's it, I'm done with /b/
Anon 1: This place sucks.

I really wish you'd stop calling that random idiot "Anonymous" just because HE'S the one sending unfunny nonsense to the press.

 

[Do4600]

The only people who will see this message is Kim Jong Un and the generals of North Korea. This government has been active long enough that there are only a few people in the country who don't believe that the entire world has it worse than they do, because that's what they've been told. There are no revolutionaries in North Korea, only corpses.

This is fruitless, no one will see it and even if they did they wouldn't act on it.

 

[Hasido]

Even if most North Koreans have computers or internet access (not sure)... why would you make the message in English?
I very much doubt they teach a lot of English in NK.

That was my thought as well, kinda makes it seem more like Anonymous are showing off to Americans rather than actually trying to accomplish anything. Ho-Hum.

Also, calling USA government oppressive might be fine in normal political shouting matches, but doing it in the same sentence as the North Korean Government. Kinda baffling, like talking about the danger of a shotgun in a debate on nukes.

well shotguns do have a bit of a kick, and if someone were to get hit completely by the blast I think- wait what were we talking about?


OT: Oh don't mind me, I'm just collecting bottle caps and baked beans. What? No I'm not gonna share.

but seriously I don't think this will really go anywhere. Just a feelin'.

 

[SadisticFire]

Eh I think everyone doesn't realize(or atleast a large portion) it says claims. i.e some dude, who refused to give a name said without evidence that he hacked North Korea with a photoshopped picture. I can claim I found a cure for cancer, but not actually show evidence. At any rate, if they/he(coulda been a single dude) did it, then good for him. I doubt North Korea will do something. Maybe use it for propaganda, but that would mean they would have to tell their citizens that the internet exists, and they've been lied to for a long ass time.

Also people saying we should just whipe out North Korea, imagine nuking your own town to get rid of a corrupted mayor. Sure, the mayor is gone, but so are all your friends and family, and the near by towns are probably going to be pissed that the fallout will go into their food supply, and exploding cancer rate.

 

[Varitel]

If they try anything completely crazy, it would mean the downfall of their government at the hands of pretty much every ally of South Korea. Hell, maybe China would even throw their hat into the ring. It would be a pretty messy war though. Yeah, Pyongyang would probably belong to coalition forces in about a week or two, but then they'd probably be fighting with a civilian population indoctrinated for decades with the idea that pretty much the entire rest of the world wants to destroy them. It just sounds like alot of blood would be shed in a quagmire that would make Iraq look easy.

 

[UsefulPlayer 1]

I think it'll be pretty funny if Anonymous becomes super big in the future and all of us look at each other remembering all the shenanigans they were up to in the early days.

I don't know about you guys, but their targets seem to be getting bigger and bigger.

 

[Grottnikk]

Why does this situation remind me of this video?

 

[Caffeine_Bombed]

Way to go, Anonymous. It's not like this is a sensitive situation or anything...

 

[Caffeine_Bombed]

Couldn't have put it better myself.
