NK has detained 3 US citizens now.

Any U.S. citizens going to North Korea right now are idiots.

I think this guy was actually trying to get out. A professor of some sort I believe.

IMHO time to slap the fat boy silly !!!
keeping him alive so he can see it happen would be best put them on trial for human rights violations with all the camps etc..

maybe just life in prison in some nasty jail

let South Korea take control and give it a generation to bring them back to reality

I envision Fat Boy's trembling finger hovering over "the button" as his muddled mind stumbles over the various resultant consequences of pushing it, while he fails to account for the fact that the rest of the world in general and the USA in particular is not subject to his autocratic reality-distortion field.

Doesn't North Korea have a submarine or two? That would be one way. It would be a decidedly less dramatic end, silent gurgling, than the Norks loosing a couple of ASBMs, the result of which would definitely play out better on television.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess the U.S. Navy is prepared for that.

Also gonna guess the Norks don't have cutting-edge sub technology either. Diesel boats perhaps, which are definitely more "noisy" than nuclear powered ones.

No matter how you look at it the situation is lose-lose for those jackasses.

Everybody on TV hypes up NK as being this big nuclear power yet tgey cant keep their lights on and resort to cannnibalism

Per Americans being detained....they have zero reason to be near,that place

[FromMyColdDeadHand]

You wonder what kind of assets and programs the Chinese having running there? I'm guessing they have some kind of decapitation plan and relationship with major military leaders.

An attack on a CVN group would see all their naval assets and ASM assets zapped. You'd have to do it.

You see there is the problem. They'd see glowing in the dark as an upgrade.

According to Wiki - a completely trustworthy source - NK has 76 Whiskey class subs (diesel electric). China bought them from Russia and then started building them for themselves, NK bought four from China and then started building them. On the last Russian subs there was a substantial decrease in noise signature, a reduction of 20 dB to 140 dB in comparison to the 160 dB of the original Soviet Project 633 submarines acquired by China. Unknown to me if the NK Whiskeys are that quiet.

They also have one Sinpo-class sub which is reportedly a reverse engineered Soviet Golf-II. This apparently is the platform which launched the two successful SLBM's. It is diesel also.
