I spat my coffee out when I saw this.

I spat my coffee out too and I wasn't even drinking coffee.

[Ele'ill]

a pretty badass video btw



Was that video a trailer for anti leftist crap? I seriously couldn't tell..

It looked like it would appeal to leftists more than it would the right wing paranoid type.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

It looks like Red Dawn on acid.

When the US power grid went out, I was like "awesome!"

[Pretty Flaco]

Kim Jong Il can't die in 2012! That's when the apocalypse comes.

[Glenn Beck]

Oh god, I'm going to need both hands for this

[Mumbles]

Where do I sign up for tickets along the path of destruction?

[AK]

God bless the USA!

[ComradeOm]

Already noted in this thread (http://www.revleft.com/vb/redbaitingi-t137852/index.html). Not sure why this is in the Science forum either

[Raúl Duke]

Is this a game? I'll surely be playing this on my roommate's xbox.

Although the idea of N.Korea doing half the things mentioned is highly unlikely.
In fact, being a cynic, if the U.S. had intelligence that N.Korea was rapidly developing nukes that would quickly overcome U.S. stockpiles they would have maybe pre-emptively nuclear striked N.Korea.

[Catillina]

That's a Videogame, not some american militairy propaganda(or perhaps it is, who know?)
North Korea invades the USA, and you as US Patriot defend yourself Guerilla Style... I'd love the game principe if it wasn't the usa you defend...

[Lenina Rosenweg]

Kim Jong Un (?) is incredibly cute. He can be my Dear Leader any day. I'm a Trot but maybe I 'll be able to get our Jurche overlords to make me Minister of Education or Chairperson of the Alaska Autonomous Republic.

Its interesting that the (obviously cartoonish) fear of the DPRK didn't seem so much to be based on anti-communism but on North Korea being an aggressive "rogue state" Kim III didn't talk about uniting workers and peasants against US imperialism. He was in a business suit and talked about reuniting Korean families.The crisis in the US is an exagerated version of what's been happening anyway. The video plays on fears of the implosion of capitalism even apart from the DPRK. Its actually pretty creative. I'd like to see a Cuban version-say Cuba "speading communism" though out a devastated Gulf Coast.

[Stephen Colbert]

" The only good Communist is a dead Communist"

- I disagree

[Lenina Rosenweg]

True, but there are some dead communists who aren't too shabby; Marx, Engels, Lenin, Gramsci....

[Jimmie Higgins]

Oh my god, the poorest nation in the northern hemisphere is going to take out the US's hundreds of nukes with a dozen nukes that it somehow built without money, technology, or resources!

Edit: hundreds? Oops, my bad...


The United States is one of the five recognized nuclear powers under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Non-Proliferation_Treaty) ("NPT"). As of September 2009[update] (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nuclear_weapons_and_the_United_Sta tes&action=edit) it possessed 5,113 warheads operationally deployed, in active reserve, or held in inactive storage. This figure compare to a peak of 31,225 total warheads in 1967 and 22,217 in 1989, and does not include "several thousand" warheads that have been retired and scheduled for dismantlement.

This shows how superior their system is. If they can virtually conquer the world based in a desperately poor isolated country which has had 3/4 of it's buildings destroyed by the US and which will presumably soon be led by a guy who went to boarding school in Switzerland they must be doing something right.

[Catillina]

That's the victory of ideologie^^A Kleptocratie will always pwn capitalism^^

[Tatarin]

I don't get it. Why not just build the EMP-missile in 2011 and use it right away?

It takes a while. Obviously you've never played Command & Conquer and tried to make a superweapon

They need to build a Temple of Nod first, anyways

Yeah and once you do that, everyone knows you have it so if you're not ready for a rush then it's worthless anyway.

or an advanced communication center for the GDI Ion cannon :lol:

Bah, ridiculous! In Rise of Nations, I got from the damn stone age to information age in just one hour, and I even defeated the Americans, the British and Japanese - and that was before I developed global prosperity and the AI. What they need is the Terra Cotta stone army and they get unlimited troops. And since they're pals with China they're halfway there already.

:P

:P

What kind of idiot bases real world military situations on Rise of Nations and not Command and Conquer? How about you leaf through some Sun Tzu and get back to me, kid. :rolleyes:

[Stephen Colbert]

I prefer using Terran in Starcraft and just mauling the enemies workers with nuclear warheads. Yes, im not an anti-labor thug in real life, but I play one on Battle.net.

[Decommissioner]

Clearly you missed the part where the North united with the South. With S. Korea's superior zerg rush and micro abilities, no nation on the planet it safe.

I've defeated modern-day battleships with an army of spear throwers in Empire Earth before.

[Pretty Flaco]

Command and Conquer? Rise of Nations? PFFFT!
Age of Empires is where it's at!

[bcbm]

this doesn't belong in sciences and environment.

[Lenina Rosenweg]

I'm old school but does anyone still play nthe Sid Meier's Civilization games?

[Ele'ill]

I play sim ant. The original.

[Stephen Colbert]

Civ IV is fun. So is Age of Empires. :P

But were are talking nukes, and when you talk nukes you're talking Terran

[Os Cangaceiros]

Age of Empires is pretty fun to play. Same with Starcraft.

I just like Empire Earth because you can annihilate cavemen with cyborgs.

[Jazzhands]

Since Starcraft is basically all they do in South Korea, military strategy should be no problem for them. :D

but yeah, I really miss empire earth. :(

[Ele'ill]

I miss Tribes.

[Tatarin]

How about you leaf through some Sun Tzu and get back to me, kid. http://www.revleft.com/vb/homefront-t138401/revleft/smilies/001_rolleyes.gif

Sun... Tzu? :confused:

[AK]

Command and Conquer? Rise of Nations? PFFFT!
Age of Empires is where it's at!
Fucking imperialist.

But seriously, I like all three of those games :wub:
