Dong 2 might have failed on the pad, but the glorious North Korean People's Army won't!

Holy shit, those are some determined fuckers.

vice is lame

So a country that has been building up a massive army for many decades at the expense of everything else might not end up defeated in a micro-second ?

Quick increase the military budget of the ROK and USA !!!

vice is lame

Vice is a great petty-bourgeois leftist current that seems to attract many open minds that i try to convert on youtube. Besides that, they show the real situations and admittedly are quite brave to show people the truth. I like Vice.

[o well this is ok I guess]

I'd put Vice down with Adbusters as a neat thing to pick up from 7/11 while on a road trip or plane trip.

[Os Cangaceiros]

I like Vice's documentaries.

[black magick hustla]

vice>>>> adbusters

although there is a lot of garbage in vice 2 imho

[NewLeft]

I'm pretty sure Vice isn't leftist.. Not even 'petite-bourgeois' leftist..

vice is lame

Vice is lame, the article is lame and people here will actual believe this shit because they are just as lame.

It is intellectual easy to just believe James Bond scenerios like this:


A few years before that, South Korean Special Forces soldiers, guys who are always pulling operations behind enemy lines, told me that the North Korean army uses political prisoners and captured South Korean soldiers as training bait; they send them into the forest and tell them that they can live if they get to the border. Then they let their soldiers hunt them. None survive, obviously. North Korean Special Forces are notorious for killing with perfect headshots.

Not to mention they have built-in fiber-optic communication networks connecting every underground base.

North Korea + Fiber Optics= wtf? When did they get that? They can't even fully power Pyongyang for 24h a day.

Military necessity over public needs ?

Seems to me like the sort of thing North Korea would do.

[Ostrinski]

I can definitely see this happening :rolleyes:

Realistically the north would never invade, why would they? They, for all their features, do not seem like the kind of nation who would go looking for a battle with Imperialist badd-asses when, if they did, it is a very real chance they will be defeated and occupied.If the north is drawn into a conflict it will be something the South&U.S starts and promotes.

The person interviewed wasn't a real SK soldier, or probably even real. It was meant to be a humorous article, not a serious one.

The following comment from the comment section is, in my opinion, completely accurate:


Pretty laughable... but I will say that when talking to your average Korean on the street, they do buy into the whole "North Korean super soldier" bit. Also, watching South Korean conscripts do their military training is not reassuring - mostly soft, unmotivated, would be "pro-gamers." On the other hand, not only is North Korea poorly equipped, but the scenario where the DPRK would invade is pretty hard to imagine. There are few (no?) scenarios where the North would "win," so it means that regardless how much destruction Pyongyang inflicts, the Kim dynasty is over when ROK/US/UN(?) counterattacks. Thus, the only invasion scenario appears to be a situation where Pyongyang has nothing to lose - is hanging on to a thread staring into oblivion. If Pyongyang did instigate a war, it doesn't seem likely that China would step in, and North Korea's nukes, for now at least, appear more a political tool, rather than an operational capability.

I should post that link to Rodong Sinmun...

[cynicles]

Lol this scenario exists only in the minds of naive american children, the same ones who thought movies like Red Dawn were plausible scenarios.

[brigadista]

to be fair i haven't watched this but in general i find vice docs really bad-

the recent ones on pakistan and liberia absolutely terrible - no context and racist imho:)
