Title: North Korea 'threatens war' over film

North Korea is threatening war over a comedy film about assassinating Kim Jong-un (or something). NK has said some stupid things before but this is certainly one of the stupidest. Do they think victory in a war with the US and its alies is realistic? They are clearly out numbered and out gunned. Why are they so volatile?

Because they know we won't attack them first and we know they won't fire the first shot.  Not until they have atomic weapons anyway.

As per usual, nothing will come of this.

Lord Dave, from my understanding: North Korea has atomic weapons. They just don't have a reliable delivery system.

I knew they made a few bombs but I thought those didn't go "atomic" but just made a big boom.

I could be wrong though.

I'd just let them make it. It sounds dreadful. Then when it flops, comment on how no one found their propaganda in the least bit amusing. It was a cheap shot, poorly executed and shows the dreadful decline in Hollywood productions. Then suggest Eddie Murphey should play Obama in the next one, moon the journalists and strut off with a hot naked chick on each arm. Both of whom are carrying AK47s.

from what I know, they can only deliver nukes via boats. Very efficient.

It is Seth Rogan, of course it will be dreadful.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would think the movie will be anything other than dreadful.

Kim Jong-un is impotent, much like Thork.  There's nothing to worry about.

I though that we were discussing North Korea.
