Would hate to be the guy who cleaned that up. Hell he is probably in the food now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandallFlagg Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I have seen countless videos of gruesome deaths thanks to being part of the liveleak generation but I have never become desensitized, I can perfectly imagine how this grizzly shindig went down, I suppose it would've been quick and sort of painless but it isn't exactly erm... humane. But maybe it is... hanging, electrocution, firing squad, hung drawn and quartered... all seem worse. I know getting a bullet between the eyes is quick (not from experience) but the build up... I dunno, getting a shell exploding upon you, personally I'd find it less daunting because it's so bonkers but this was a reality in trench warfare. Lethal injection can and HAS gone wrong but it's what's considered pure and pristine these days if there is such a thing, getting blown apart and torn asunder in a nanosecond is horrendous but somewhat merciful. Lethal injection I would pick having experienced the nearest thing to it, anaesthesia but still... dunno how I feel about it as a method of execution stacked up against the rest. It'd leave a mess but it'd be a scattered and almost cartoon strip-esque proportion of a mess, it's dehumanizing as a method of execution but then again this is killing a perfectly live and functioning fellow human being, how can there be any redemption in the matter.

Val22 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 That North Korean leader is crazier than his father ever was.This country has over a million people in their army you know one day they will be invading SK and get all of Asia involved as well as the US and it's allies. I would just press a button and blow NK away, otherwise that war will go on forever. How can you beat an army of millions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just press a button and blow NK away, otherwise that war will go on forever. How can you beat an army of millions?How can you beat an army of millions? Rather easily. First of all, I think the numbers are exaggerated, North Korea probably has at minimum 600,000 active soldiers. The rest are probably ill-trained reservists used to boost their numbers. Second, they are behind in just about everything. Sure if they could attack a weaker enemy they can over-whelm them but they are facing South Korea, one of the most powerful militarizes on the face of the Earth. Probably in the top ten and North Korea is nowhere near them. They are capable of launching "surgical strikes' that can paralyze the North Korean high command before they can give further orders. Attacks that they have no way of defending themselves against. So I wouldn't worry about North Korea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus fuck.Unfortunately when Un finally gets some balls to authorize an act of aggression against ANYONE, this will be the case. The brain washed soldiers that get conned into attacking (insert US ally here) they will be wipe off the planet. And we'll probably have UN support a la 9/11.

arnold layne Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A war with NK would be pretty painless. It's us vs. a million malnurished corpses. Not to mention the fact that our technology is years ahead of theirs and these baffoons presumably don't practice guerilla warfare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle east is full of rogue fighters but NK has a traditional army. They all march around a missle while Kim claps his hands. Far different scenario than a bunch of fighters bunkered down wearing civilian clothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think this is different. The middle east is full of rogue fighters but NK has a traditional army. They all march around a missle while Kim claps his hands.Far different scenario than a bunch of fighters bunkered down wearing civilian clothing.It is not as easy as that Arnold. North Korea have been preparing for an attack since the end of the Korean War (which was never official, just a truce)They have built the most extensive underground network of bunkers in the world. They have a vast amount of artillary and missiles aimed at Seoul which is so close to the border that nothing would be able to stop the barrage of ammo raining down on the city. It would be devastated, regardless of who might eventually win. There are 12million or more people living in Seoul. The casualties would be enormous.It is not a war that could be won from the air. Troops would have to go in. The terrain is so difficult and unforgiving that any approach from the South would be extremely difficult. North Korea would be so well prepared and its troops so fanatical that US forces or anyone else would be in for one hell of a fight, unlike anything they've experienced since, well, ever...Iraq & Afghanistan would pale in comparison to a war with North Korea. You would be talking about Vietnam casualty numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 wasn't talking about invading actually.Val22's idea was, to push the button and blow up the whole country.

netcat Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 wouldn't be surprised if Kim Jong un is the one who spreads intimidating rumors about anti-aircraft gun executions and such just to maintain his anthropophagic image abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
