Why is North Korea Working on Missiles, if they ever use them they would be destroyed?

Answer 1

They would destroy us.50/50.....look at what happened last time?we lost over 100,000 U.S. soldiers.

Answer 2

Dont forget that North Korea has been in self imposed exile from the real world for over 50 years. As a nation therefore they have absolutely no conception of what the 21st century is like and probably really do think that they could win a new war against the South and their allies simply by fighting it like the last one.

In that war they would overwhelm allied positions by simply sending thousands of men into attack and only the first few hundred would have guns. The rest would pick up the weapons of the dead from the first casulaties as they ran forward,

Complete grade A total nutjobs, who would now last no time at all when faced with a modern army and modern conventional weapons.

Their leaders know that and thats why they want a nuke.

The target of their nukes would not be the USA as you rightly say they wouldnt even get close, but they could get them to Japan or South Korea potentially.

Also don't forget the new way of fighting a war and that is thru terror. A modern nuclear weapon could fit into a suitcase so you do not need clanky old missiles to deliver them to all of the U.S's major cities.

Answer 3

But many people propose nuking North Korea (Just read the answers to the many NK missile questions). One use for the missiles would be a deterrent to keep nukes out of a conventional war, where NK has numbers on it's side. Also, NK can use conventional missiles like Iraq used scuds.

Answer 4

Nuclear weapons and the means to produce them are a powerful political tool as well as being weapons capable of incredible destruction. The North Korean government has invested in nuclear missiles in order to gain more bargaining power in terms of influencing for foreign aid and as a deterrent to the United States among other nations from attacking it.

Answer 5

The same reason US harbors a nuke arsenal despite the treaties it signed. If they use their nukes, they will be destroyed too, just like any nation who dares such an action.
Presidents like in North Korea and US are a danger to the world as a whole.

Answer 6

The desire is not to use them, but to gain political recognition as a great and powerful nation(leader). Kim Jong Il wants to be taken seriously as a major player on the world scene. This is also why he wants talks specifically with the U.S. and not the six-nation talks that President Bush wants.

Answer 7

Please cite ONE, only a unmarried one credible source which says that Iran has suggested it needs Israel destroyed. Please do not spin me the 'Israel could be wiped off the map' spiel, that has been conclusively shown to be a fantasy (leaving aside the minor ingredient that no such idiom exists in Farsi). also, please cite ONE credible source which shows that Iran has or is searching for nuclear guns. The IAEA says they are not, the UN says they are not, and the u . s .'s own protection Intelligence Estimate says they are not. although i could not truly blame them in the experience that they were doing; how else would they wrestle off a US invasion? they have a superb sized defense force, yet with the achieveable exception of China no one can tournament the u . s . for defense force potential. As for them dropping a nuke on Israel, you pick to do what individuals do way too hardly, and study a map of the international. you'll locate Israel is about 500-six hundred miles from Iran at its closest aspect. it truly is way too close to to drop a nuke and under no circumstances anticipate some nasty fallout to blow lower back on your face. Leaving aside of route the small count number of a nuke on Israel being quite unsightly for Iran's allies Palestine, Syria, Jordan etc. quit observing Fox information, advance a mind, and picture for your self.

Answer 8

That despicable little Midget in North Korea, that pug-ugly little imp wants to blackmail the West into giving him concessions: food, trade, weapons, etc.

He is too self-deceived to realize we'd have to obliterate him punk *ss.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Demented N.Korean gov't thinks that they will be more of a player on the world level if they have functional long-range weapons that can hit the "bully" U.S>A.
