Thatcher 2,418 Posted March 5, 2017 Will be interesting to see how Trump responds to this. South Korea suggests it was an ICBM capable of reaching the US mainland and is convening an Emergency Security Council meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I "liked" your post but I am not sure if "Like" is the most appropriate response to news like that! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 5, 2017 I recently had a look at this website when I started this thread. It is the "Defcon" warning system. It is supposedly run by independent civilians to monitor threats: http://defconwarningsystem.com Of course, it only monitors threats to America, not the threat of America... Really, they don't seem to have been too worried about anything since I started looking so it will be interesting to see what they say about this incident. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 6, 2017 BTW, has anyone ever watched this (there are similar mock ups on YouTube for other countries like England)? Even knowing it is a mock-up and even though i do not live in any of the places 'targeted" it is rather... disconcerting. I am sure you could reduce many a grown Aussie man to tears by playing them this video. If something like that ever came on for real, you'd just know that, even if you survived, your entire world was about to change forever.

rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted March 6, 2017 Am I meant to sit and watch while I get over the trauma of normal programming being suspended? Jeez what if they've cancelled Eastenders (would be interesting if it happened during Casualty though). Anyway I prefer this: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,480 Posted March 14, 2017 For some reason, this thread reminds me of Jonathan Watson's sketch on Sky's view of the Old Firm game... "And if he celebrates in front of the Rangers fans, wont that really incite them....hopefully?" 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Exu 250 Posted March 17, 2017 The most disturbing aspect of this is the macho muscle flexing being displayed on all sides. Most folk on the planet just want to get by,but our leaders (elected and otherwise) seem intent on poking each other with sharp sticks. When North Korea eventually develop a nuclear capability then all bets will be off and the U.S. may live to regret making threats. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 26, 2017 Cheerful: "The DEFCON Warning System believes that war in Korea is an eventuality unless there is momentous change to the path the countries are on."

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 27, 2017 Today's dispatch: "The South and East China Seas have become a prime destination for military ships and U.S. diplomatic tensions are at a level of intensity not felt since the coldest days of the Cold War. It would be foolish, therefore, to dismiss warnings or fears of World War 3 in the next few years. Any major conflict that breaks out now could escalate to a World War 3 scenario. These are hardly the musings of a few conspiracy theorists or eccentrics. The present geopolitical and economic background is weak, there’s a tremendous potential for unforeseen events (black swans) to trigger a calamity as WW3."

The best way to prep, IMHO, is to gorge on kebabs, take some illegal drugs and shag until your genitalia becomes too sore to carry on.
