The Norks Had Commandos in America

North Korea dispatched covert commando teams to the United States in the 1990s to attack nuclear power plants and major cities in a conflict, according to a declassified Defense Intelligence Agency report.

Dafuq is that all about?  It's bad enough that we have to worry about jihadis and Chicoms and Russkis, but now the pot-bellied doofs who run North Korea are sending terrorists to America?

Sounds awfully improbable.  They have people capable of doing that?
The Reconnaissance Bureau is part of the Ministry of People’s Armed Forces and is in charge of the estimated 60,000 North Korean special operations commandos.
The North Korean Ministry of People’s Armed Forces, the ministry in charge of the military, “established five liaison offices in the early 1990s, to train and infiltrate operatives into the United States to attack nuclear power plants.
One more thing to worry about.  If you are a prepper, you have already prepared for this.

I'm going to do Alfred E Neuman on this, Haz.

Speaking of Alfred E Neuman. Bret Baier played some old footage of himself in Cuba back in the 90's. He was a porky guy w/ an Alfred E Neuman grill.

They'll come for you first, Nick.

Nuclear power plant security went dark around 1980. No outside access to their offices, computer systems, schematics. I tried, half-heartedly. I didn't like being suddenly out of the loop. Lots of ex-military on the team. They weren't just fooling around with that stuff. Sounds as though the entire industry developed pretty formidable systems. That is, if you really believe about commando units trying to penetrate.

If this is even remotely true, we've got a serious problem.

Preppers seem outlandishly paranoid until they don't. One of the little known facts of the Cold War was that the Soviets had Spetsnaz special forces sleeper-cell hit teams in the UK and Germany who had (due to the imbecilic open access of most US NATO base "locators" for personnel) the addresses of all fighter pilots living off-base who would be recalled to respond to a nuclear threat by manning their nuclear equipped tactical fighter aircraft. These hit teams, knowing when the attack was to come, would be present to assassinate the pilots at their doorstep as they left their home in response to the base recall. In any "open society" it is ridiculously easy to pull such operations off..

I love it when Haz uploads the kind of posts that only Haz would believe.

The Axis of Evil has always been a legend in their own minds.

Doubtless, Grandpa Ritmo felt the same way about all those stories about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

I hope they were women...the ones who went commando.

If you don't think this is possible or likely, tells us why.

Is it because you think our border security is too tough?

Is the Korean leadership too reasonable and peace loving for this?

Maybe the Korean military is just not concerned with the United States and considers us a friend and ally?

Maybe it's the impenetrable police state we live in where a Korean could never blend in or hide?

Is it really us who are the paranoid ones and not the level-headed Kims?

Yeah, they are called the media.

Synova said...

I find it nearly *obvious* that Korea would have done this. That the "commandos" were the least bit likely to succeed is a bit of a stretch, but that Kim the Former would have sent them? Oh, absolutely. If nothing else it would serve as theater for his own military commanders.

I don't find the idea outlandish at all. And would be surprised if China has not done the same thing.

Hey, in our land of multi-cultures and ethnicities today it is very likely almost all have some trouble makers here among us. I include my Irish folk among that collection. The scruffy guy wearing a rumpled trench coat who once was going from person to person at an Irish pub wasn't trying to make Christian converts.
