Austin is on North Korea's Radar

[KBScobravert]

Knowing they are a propaganda machine, those pictures of him behind the table looks so staged and their uniforms look like they came out of a prop room. "take is over, now back into your own clothes and you better not rip a button off or you will be sent to the mines"

North Korea hates hippies!

after reading everyones replies i couldnt help but think the same as you. Ignorance of your enemies is fatal.

The jr. leader has probably studied some Sun Tzu. NK prides on deception.

All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him. - Sun Tzu, the Art of War

Never underestimate your enemy, and never overestimate your friend. -Ainaras Bagdonavicius

We should have learned by now:
If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. - Sun Tzu

Weapons are an important factor in war, but not the decisive one. It is man and not the material that counts - Mao Tse-Tung

the dance of battle is always played in the same impatient rhythm. What begins in a surge of violent motion is always reduced to the perfectly still. -SunTzu.......man was a genius from then and forever.

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action comes, stop thinking and go in. -Napoleon Bonaparte..............Our problem is we know the time to go in but we chose the wrong action afterwards, we stay.

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time. -Leo Tolstoy

The only reason a warrior is alive is to fight, and the only reason a warrior fights is to win. -Miyamoto Musashi...........I am sure they have some warriors

War in an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. -John Stuart Mill...........Americans do not think much is worth war but NK (leadership) does.

and to sum it all up, again we can turn to Sun Tzu's principles

There must be an overwhelming reason to engage in warfare.
The populace, the military leaders, and the political leaders must all be of one mind in support of that reason.
Long distance, long-term war will weaken the country and can lead to defeat. The military must never be overstretched.
Any war should be fast and short.
A military operation should never allow itself to get into a situation that it cannot quickly get out of.
Never underestimate your enemy.
Never overestimate your own forces.
Ignoring any of the above will lead to disaster. The country will end up in major debt, the citizens will suffer, and the credibility of the government will be weakened.

One I love just for fun:
Of one hundred men, ten shouldn't even be there. Eighty are just targets. Nince are the real fighters, and we are lucky to have them for they make the battle. Ah, but the one: He is a warrior and will bring the others back. -Heraclitus

WOAH NOW!!! Don't get your thrift store corduroys and tiny fedora in a bunch!

Just saying. The last time I went to NE Mall (not even Dallas so I'm assuming it's worse there) it was nothing but turbo hipsters and gays. Not so much hippies, but I'm sure fhat they're around.

If they did launch, we could rely on their aim to be shit, and cross our fingers that they got Waco instead. Win Nguyen.

J/K

I presume Russia is probably in his corner, but if they weren't, and he had threatened the Kremlin today, we would be reading his obit tomorrow. Not because the Russian government would silently flex their muscle, rather the maffia would handle business because it was a threat to their livelyhood.

[KBScobravert]

Win, Nguyen!

[Forever_frost]

Anything they decide to launch at the US is going to have come from China and Russia. Arm and supply the retarded kid on the block so that when they go full retard and kick your biggest opponent in the nuts, you can claim ignorance.

LOL! As long as he misses 6th street, Barton Springs, and the UT campus, I will live. The only thing I'd miss in Waco is the Elite Cafe, which is where we occasionally stop on the way to Austin.
