So how screwed would be during a nuclear attack? The "Doomsday" thread

[Unchainme]

bump.

Mainly because I'm a sucker for Nuclear Holocaust shit.

Saw a scenario on the show "Deadliest Warrior" where they speculated how a battle between N. Korean soldiers and American soldiers would go. Pretty much the scenario is that North Korea wants to take over the entire peninsula of Korea and reunify.

and it brought up an interesting thought to my mind, and a question to my our Non-American Roth Army members

If, IF, the US was attacked first via a nuclear weapon by Kim Jong Ill or his crazy ass son (this is assuming some how they've got something to actually say...hit like Honolulu). How supportive would the world be if the US retaliated in some way shape or form?

I ask this because I had noticed quite a bit of backlash from those in Europe over the War in Iraq 2003 on.

In the scenario I'm imagining, the action is simply done by N. Korea out of aggression and not truly provoked by anything said or done by the USA. Kind of similar to the new "Red Dawn"/HomeFront movie plot.

North Korea barely has electricity never mind a military worth worrying about.

The first Gulf War showed that having 500 000 troops means nothing without technology.

I seriously doubt the North Korean claims of their nuclear arsenal which I think probably doesn't amount to much at all and definitely nothing that affect anyone further than South Korea.

I've just read the plot to Red Dawn and it's less likely to happen than Toy Story.

The one thing I keep remembering about N. Korea is the fact that people are barely fed over there.

I imagine those in the millitary don't get shit in regards to food in compared to those around the world.

You wouldn't want to invade it, in fact if recent history tells us anything, you wouldn't want to invade anywhere but I really don't think they are a huge threat.

Countries like NK and Iran are used as bogeymen for 2 reasons. Firstly because a huge public military industry oils the wheels of Washington and so needs threats to justify it and secondly a politician can never play down even a very small threat in case it happens which would then end their career. That's also why those threat level meters never reach green.
