Not going to lie, I thought this would be a gif of some fireworks.

This is what happens when you dismiss the slow advancement of what is now a nuclear power as saber rattling for 50 years.
NorthCrown
Not much they could do with China backing them, tho.
KimJongUninstall
Hell yeah we're gettin deadlier. Better not fuck with us mate. ;^)
StarrryNight
Every time I see a successful NK launch I imagine the rocket scientists thinking "Thank fuck for that, my family is safe for this week"
frogfoot
For all intents and purposes, NK is totally uninteresting in global politics. Their economy is teeny tiny, and their technology is outdated.

Your title is a bit ironic: "Fat Man" was the codename for the 2nd atomic bomb that the US dropped on Japan.

Boost in Trumps approval rating when we wipe them of the face of the earth.
LitteralyHitler
A boost in Trump's approval rating would be an incredibly difficult task. Doing 1 thing right, doesn't make him any better.
wsj459
It would be like the boost in approval that obama got when bin laden was killed. Obama didn't really do anything but he got the credit.
FatThor89
Even the North Korean government is in on this 'round earth' conspiracy! Wake up sheeple! The earth is flat, don't let Kim fool you!
VictorBetancourt10
Damn North Korea, you scary
lazarlaki0303000
We all worry about North Korea, but USA has much deadlier missiles behind a president who has a mentality of a 2 year old.

Most I've tors in this site are form USA, guys do you realize that you are being "prepared" for the next war? It always starts like this...

Either autocorrect or lack of autocorrect did a number on that first line. What?

notmyfirstrodeo
Kim understands that countries w/ a nuclear 1st strike capability are treated differently, so it is logical to pursue such capability.
MrWillybottom
This is the right answer, why does this only have 9 points?
notmyfirstrodeo
Thanks. You should not mistakenly conflate "right" with "popular". I should have added:
Imhereforthelurking
What he seems to miss, is the treatment is also based on general likability and economic value. His nation has none of those.
WillJeSuis
But what about Russia? They've done as they please and all they have gotten in return is "Don't do that Russia, that is bad, bad Russia!"
WillJeSuis
"Oh you pushed it this time! Bad bad Russia!" "..." and nothing. NK probably wants that sort of power. To do what they want in their area or
WillJeSuis
nearby areas without having to worry about it like Russia does.
bond674
Then again Russia was badass before North Korea was even a blink in Kim's sperm bank family.
BeatYaToIt
It's funny that they're pursuing ballistic missiles, as if allied forces couldn't wipe them off the face of the earth if we wanted to
RepostFromLastWeek
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_assured_destruction
BeatYaToIt
Mutual assured destruction assumes that they have a large arsenal of warheads and allies of their own... don't think that's the case
BeatYaToIt
It was the case with Russia, who had allies with half of the world and over 20,000 warheads... DPRK is a joke
Fuiphler
Because America doesn't have a history of military over-exertion and with full sanctions the last thing that could happen is war or nothing.
Fuiphler
War might mean NK losing, but civilised countries will also suffer great loss and then finger pointing happens.
Fuiphler
Nothing means having SK and Japan stockpile weapons, likely nuclear too and quickly end the nuclear proliferation treaty

ScottPilgrimVSTheIndians
I got downvoted for saying that we underestimated Trump, and look where it got us. This feels the same. Also I feel vindicated, somewhat.
wadenelson1
Big man Trump! Berates Obama for 8 years for doing nothing about PRK and what has he done? Exactly NOTHING.
wiilyc22
Hasn't had discussions with china regarding this? Which is a massive step. Yeah, missed that bit of news on CNN.
wadenelson1
The same meeting where they issued his trademarks and approved his hotel plans?
Skizzlesnap
Oh I'm sure that buffoon really made some headway in those talks. North Korean is really really bad you see...
wiilyc22
Those talks thus far kept any dick measuring contest going on with the US and china. He's a buffoon yes, but we aren't invading yet right.
wiilyc22
2 and with the liberals pissing and moaning about everything, he's pretty much has to let them detonate one before any declaration
wadenelson1
As evidenced by yet another launch - I concur.
TheCAstallion15
Check your facts homie. Obama/Hillary need to shoulder some of the blame for how far along PRK's weapons program has evolved.
ForgotMyOtherAcct
Why is it always like Obama and Hillary were a duo? She was the secretary of state for one term, not exactly the heart and soul of the
TheCAstallion15
I hear you but at the end of the day, the prez chooses their Sec. of State. When it comes to international issues, both are responsible
ForgotMyOtherAcct
Administration; she's never held or exercised much power
wadenelson1
My complaint is that the Donald is staying the same course he complained about.
PoopertonUnit
As much as I hate Donald, that's not true.
TheCAstallion15
Again, check the facts my friend. The whole ordeal is a mess but Trump is at least cutting deals with China to put pressure on PRK
Rasdwatrium
"US Military bases in Japan!"..and what about, you know, Japan itself?
ForgotMyOtherAcct
Well, we figure Japan is 'owed' exactly one surprise attack
Rasdwatrium
That already happened in 2011.

The cult sarin attack on a subway?

The earthquake? Or.. I should google.

..you know, getting their third city nuked?

Oh, yeah, the earthquake which led to fukushina meltdown. I mean, I'm not actually in favor of them getting attacked

UncleLeos
Everyone had funny memes about the last failed test. This is not funny. They will eventually succeed. They have nuclear weapons. Not funny.
Cptmike
pretty funny if nuclear based humor is your thing
UncleLeos
I like Fallout games, I guess.
Cptmike
there's the silver lining. you've trained for this.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
He's pushing his luck with China. Eventually they'll get tired of propping him up and take him down themselves rather than loose ground.
MrPredator
China will have to start coming to terms with the lunacy of this little fat idiot.
sonnydojo
NK is a barrier against SK, an American ally. Also, China can't handle 25 million derelict refugees & will delay. It's a no win for them.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
That's what I'm saying. Rather than let the US invade, they'll stage a coupe and install a puppet leader to keep the territory in their hand
Flodos
Nah, NK is China's lightning rod. As long as Kimmie is pulling the international spotlight in the region, the South Chinese Sea isn't.
Diddykongkey
that's a motive. It's simply easier to do nothing until you have to do something.
diabolischereintopf
Hmm after the assassination of Kim's brother their relationship took a turn for the worse
diabolischereintopf
Just to clearify Kim assassinated his brother, China liked and groomed his brother (as a possible softer replacement for Kim)
DonnaNobleInTheLibrary
Was genau für Eintopf bist du? Mit extra Chili?

Genau, extra viel Chilli, aber das perfide, oder besser noch, das wahrlich diabolische an dem Chilli ist, es brennt erst beim zweiten Mal!

Adenocarcinoma
Tibet was always part of China, so is Hong Kong.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
Nobody cares about Tibet. Much like Africa it doesn't have exploitable resources nor strategic importance. It's a moral thing.
Diddykongkey
What a Tibet?
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
They'll wait till either the US is going to invade, or he does something bad enough that they look like heroes for taking him out.

He's obviously compensating. Can't we just send him a Corvette instead?

What a great time be alive not the good old time that was shit today is better constant fear of total nuclear anhilation fun times

As someone born in the '50s and raised in the '60s through the '80s — "That's cute."

Ha! Take that Flat Earth Society, even NK took pics of the round Earth! Or you will claim they're under an international plot?

slidewhistlesymphony
...or South Korea, there will be hell to pay, and nothing he says or does will save him from it. Kim is playing with fire.
WaddlinCorgis
Technically he's playing with missiles
DaJoW
The point is to ensure nobody attacks NK, in which case they'll use every weapon against civilian targets. So the regime stays in power.
malakim
Thing is we cannot retaliate. Nuclear is not an option since it would hit s.korea as well with the fallout and conventional isnt fast enough
MemeDissector
No shit. He does it because we let him. Because we fear China. Even though at this point, China basically sees north korea as a parasite.
ReasonableConservative
China props NK, and Russia sells it hardware. Both these states responsible, (which is why we didn't finish it in '53)
Adenocarcinoma
No, China keeps NK in check. They deployed troops near the border already just in case NK pulls some stupid shit.
ReasonableConservative
Troops deployed to combat REFUGEES, (which they don't want.) China could have ended this shit decades ago. NK had nothing on them.
BenWyattCalzoneKingandIceTownClown
I hope this fat baby lets the match burn too close to his fingers, time to end that familys reign and liberate North Korea

I'm only scared of who ask would take their side. Even though they're carefully wrong people will be bound to jump in with them
Molder12
Seriously how has it gone on for so long?
ReddArten
Because nobody wants all the refugees from the ensuing fallout. Not to say all NKers are stupid but they have no idea about the real world
DoubleSecretAgent
NK is China's buffer
BenWyattCalzoneKingandIceTownClown
you'd think America having the problem of playing world police would of intervened long ago. They probably dont have any natural resources
Armored0Titan0
Or, you know, they're backed by the second largest military on the planet.
flyingmonsters
NK is backed by China so the US cant touch them while that is happening.
UncivilizedEngie
China is protecting them.
AvadonyaTheSilverGrapefruit
China need change too, but no country will step against them because of the money we make from making them work for us
Enoan
He is a liability for china, why not replace him with a less crazy government?
adjacentmountain
if he didn't have nuclear weapons the USA would invade and slaughter millions of innocent koreans
gangeex05
Easy. Just have the news network to say there's a chemical weapons being used. The US/Allies will come on heavy numbers.

Wow mate thats some edgy bate I rate 8/8

Im pretty sure it would just be an assassination of Kim at most. Probably something just along the lines of a government overthrow?
Avalonianpathfinder
The millions of innocent Koreans is why the USA hasn't just obliterated the state.
Lichonaleash

PirateRubberDuck
Also that would involve military action next to Russia. Pissing off China and Russia would be a bad move.
CaptainInAPuddle
Both are half right. China won't let the US wreck it up because North Koreans would flood into China. Mostly because there are less mines.
PlacesAroundTheWorld
You do realize that the US doesn't go after the citizens, just the soldiers and officers of a nation right?

In the case of north korea, most of the colateral damage would be done from the norths own means. Like Nike a city to stop a push.

He is making himself harder to remove. If the US wanted to invade, there now might be civilian casualties.
PartiallyShavedSasquatch
There always would've been. It's like Japan in world war 2. They'd sooner die than be taken prisoner due to propaganda.
EarlGreyOrDeath
They managed to get a few psych people in, it's possible they don't actually believe it, they just know what happens when you don't.
funkmaster40
Living in Korea: fuck you! There always would be millions of Koreans dying. This only reports that they now can hit 'Mericans in Japan!

Always a risk in this one. If a war started there, *millions* would die in first few days.

Good. Just wipe NK off the map. Easy as pie. Couple nukes. Put those people out of their misery

Also there are treaties against assassinating world leaders.

Who cares? Even the Chinese have had enough of NKs shit. If Kim suddenly died of a heart failure caused by lead poisioning, they'd be ok.
