Anonymous Attacks North Korea

You know, I feel like N. Korea and Anonymous fit each other quite well. Both so delusional about their actual strength it's rather sad.
You think a couple of DDOS attacks would be the tipping point? That's a bit hyperbolic isn't it?Daverson said:
Do you really think the U.S. gives a single shit about that? We didn't have a problem preemptive striking the shit out of Iraq.Lightknight said:
Also, I think there's a lot less controversy even if we attacked first. China is supposedly their ally and they've moved troops to the border, and I don't think they're going to be supporting North Korea. They are the most destabilizing influence in Asia and no one likes that. China particularly doesn't like the threats against the U.S. After all, we're essentially economically codependent.
Soooo... Any chance Anonymous are going to stay true to that bounty or are they just telling pork pies?
The more people do this, or laugh at North Korea or make jokes about them... the more I wonder just how much they want to tempt fate.
That had to be one of the most stupid messages Anon could have possibly written.
Why mention the United States government at all? It just makes it look like an attack FROM the United States. It will do nothing but give the North Koreans actual ammunition to use in their anti-American propaganda. "This is what the United States devils are like, they can barely communicate in their own language."

Iraq didn't have a big brother like China with a vested interest in not allowing a United Sates military presence so close to its borders. If the North was to launch a nuclear strike even China wouldn't be able to say "No, you can't attack North Korea because if you do we will declare war/trade embargo (not certain which would be worse)" because that would paint them as pro-nuclear strikes against America.WouldYouKindly said:
You all realize this is entirely pointless, right? At best the only thing this is gonna cause is more saber rattling. NK does not have the technology to hit with the crumby ICBMs they have, and their nuclear technology is not at the point where they could actually fit it into a warhead. Plus attacking would be suicidal, not even China (their only ally) would support them at that point, there is too much profit to be had in peace at the moment (for China at least). At the very most it will be a border skirmish like the many they have had with SK since the end of the Korean War. The only purpose is to focus the attention and fear of their oppressed people on so called 'external' threats so they don't get it in their heads that maybe now would be a good idea to overthrow the government or something radical like that. NK may be outrageous, they may like to make threats and they may even kill a few SK soldiers (hopefully not though) but attacking in force or with ICBMs or something like that would bring the wraith of the whole civilized world down on their heads. If they honestly attacked SK or Japan or one of the military bases on Guam it would not wind up like the Iraq war where only a handful of countries got bullied into joining our attack... it would be everyone against NK, even China. It would essentially mean the end of NK as we know it. They just want the attention, and they hope that maybe if they make enough noise the people will stay afraid and maybe some of the new harsher sanctions will be lifted.
Regardless, it's a much bigger story than "Anon Vandalized A Thing" when a country is literally on the brink of declaring war on the USA.MrMan999 said:
Actually they said they wouldn't support N. Korea launching attacks. They still hold their stance on that they will help N. Korea should S. Korea or it's allies start hostilities again.MrMan999 said:
Right now N. Korea is poking the US and it's allies trying to get them to shoot first. It's not all that different to a school bully taunting a classmate so when they get punched by said classmate they can claim the victim.
The United States also isn't under a republican government. Korea might boast threats but the world is pretty certain they're entirely bark and no bite. The United States is trying to repair its reputation and running in to North Korea, guns blazing, and the collateral damage that would cause would destroy any effort it has made to repair that reputation.MrMan999 said:
As many reasons as the United States has to just want to shut North Korea down they haven't actually proven themselves to be a 'threat'.
The only people talking about this are first-worlders like us. (Well, I am, and I assume that since you have an internet connection and use it to comment on gaming websites, you are too.) But the people Anonymous' brilliant message is targeting are, most likely, not even aware the message exists. Anonymous only tries to be as visible to the first world as possible to stroke its collective ego--this message means less than a grain of dust in a sandstorm to North Korea.Zombie_Moogle said:
Also, I find it impressively egotistic (even for Anon's standards) that they liken their own problems with North Korea's.
...at a time like this you're asking me if I would kindly think that a couple of DDOS attacks would be the tipping point? ...well... ok!WouldYouKindly said:
Srsly though, the North Korean Regime is completely neurotic, can you look me in the eye and tell me they won't view this as a personal attack on the great leader by evil imperialists?
