So, what are the chances that any launch of any kind from North Korea could or would reach its intended target? From what I know of military weapons systems, even those that were used as long ago as 1989 (during Operation Desert Storm) there is precious little that Pyongyang at this point in their abilities could throw at the United States that would be functionally effective. Most every missile, if not every missile, would be matched against our defense systems, as well as our fighters and battleships off the coast of the peninsula.
After the very first missile was launched, Central Command would initiate a massive response that would, in effect, be aimed at, a) military installations and missile launch sites, b) military headquarters and leadership, c) power grid, d) infrastructure (including airports, airstrips, bridges, highways, water delivery systems, e) communications, and f) dictator’s palace.
Following the initiation of that quick response in airstrikes, battleships off the coast of the Korean Peninsula would begin pounding the corps, division, battalion and brigade level troop clusters, disabling the possibility of an armed conflict between North and South Korea.
In the meantime, South Korea would be focusing on the massive refugee flood that will necessarily take place across their borders while Japan and Australia will be focusing on the mobile fleet and submarine force that will be roving in both the South China Sea and Pacific Ocean.
Meanwhile, in preparation for all of this, North Korea is pumping out the 1940s styled propaganda replete with Communist Worker posters and banners, both antiquated and nostalgic.

***A little advice from a Old Drilller***
To anyone working on a drilling rig of any age, but geared to the younger employees, here’s some advice. These are the things that they didn’t teach you in high school or from you parents growing up, but you definitely ****ing need to learn. Today with its now feel-good, politicallycorrect teachings has created a generation of of men with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Fact 1: Life is not fair—–get used to it.
Fact 2: The rig does not care about your self-esteem. The industry will expect you to accomplish some thing BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Fact 3: You will not make $170,000 a year right out of roughneck school. You won’t be a Rig Manager with a truck, phone, and a shack until you earn both.
Stay off of drugs, follow the rules, learn your job, do your hardest and you will get there. Nothing kills a career faster than a drug problem or a attitude problem.
Fact 4: If you think your teacher was tough, wait until you meet the Driller or better yet the Rig Manager. Remember EVERYONE has a boss in management.
Fact 5: Cleaning the ****ter is not beneath your dignity. The OLDER generation of the petroleum personal had a different word: they called it oppertunity.
Fact 6: If you **** up, it’s your fault….not your fellow employees, Drilling company, Oil company or even your parents fault so don’t whine about your mistakes or point fingers, learn from them. If you got yelled at it is most likely you endangered your life or somebody else’s. Even at worse getting yelled at is ususally an indicator you are not doing your job up to standards, use this sign to your benifit.
Fact 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forrest from the parasites of the older generation, try delousing the closet in your own room at home and keeping your room tidy in camp.
Fact 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This dosen’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life or at the work site.
Fact 9: The Driller is not your Mom. The Rig Manager is not your Dad. The Engineer is not you favorite Uncle Joe. Very few of us care about your emotional well being. That is the way work is. Very few employers are interested in helping you find yourself. Do that on your own time.
Fact 10: Television is NOT real life. in real life people actually have to leave the change shack and go and do some actual work.
Fact 11: The company is actually paying you money….you are not doing us a favor by just being here to grace us with your presence.
Fact 12: Word of caution, before complaining about how hard something is to your leaders remeber that they actually worked your posistion and it was ten times harder 30 years ago. You will without a doubt be met with little indifference. Those are not just stories to embarrass you!
Fact 13: You are not a child anymore!! Just because you did not use something does not mean that you can not put it where it belongs. it does not matter who did what, just do your part and worry about yourself.
Fact 14: A rig is run by a chain of command….communism will not work in the corporate world neither. Get your group hugs else where and start looking for leadership at bottom levels first. If the Driller doesn’t know or if he feels it’s important he will pass the information forward.
Fact 15: The easy way is not always the best way!! If you were told to do something the hard way, there is more than likely a reason for it.
