I wouldn't exactly say they "offered".
They said if we didn't allow a joint investigation, there would be "grave consequences".

skatertg wrote I think that if NK did carry out this hack they would have bragged about it and how they have caused irreversible damage to their greatest enemy etc. I follow everything the DPRK does closely as i think it's an interesting nation, they deny all involvement and strangely i'm inclined to believe NK

By denying it, that means they have great propaganda to get people to side with them.
It works sorta like it has on you. You believe them, so it worked.

North Korea are literally the only people who give a damn about this movie being released or not. :p

I think it's impossible for NK to release a statement that doesn't have a threat/insult at the end. lel.

Ehh, by that logic you believe the US propaganda that NK did carry out the hacks. What i'm saying is the evidence definitely sways in favor of NK carrying out the attack - similar malware involved that NK used to attack SK a few years ago etc.
However there is simply no definitive proof.
Fingers will be pointed but overall this is all Sony's fault for having shit security, their head of IT stored important logins in plaintext documents. This isn't the first time this has happened to Sony and a few leaks point to it being an inside job. Idkyo.

I'm trying to find a statement from Kim jong-il about Team Americas release and i can't find anything.

The United States should go ahead and bomb the short douches, but they can't.

Mainly because of Russia, and China.

Russia would choose N. Korea because well, Russia hates the US. Because of Russia Rubble.
China would choose N. Korea because if N. Korea was wiped off the map, there wouldn't be enough room to do anything, like now in China. Over a billion people.

I do agree, Sony shouldn't have made that movie. But we all know N. Korea wont do shit the United States, and if they do, we'll take them off the globe, we have almost the whole world on our side, and N. Korea has very few, such as Russia, and China.

The world is sickening these days, we might have WW3 over a damn movie...

Who cares if N. Korea actually did the hack? Just hack them back, as we have so much more technology than N. Korea.

China wouldn't side with North Korea, Russia more than likely won't either, but seeing how there is some blame towards the US because our Rubble has collapsed, in a hypothetical sense or "a reason to do so" this is the only time I see us siding with North Korea in an attack against the US. With that said however, North Korea's "allies" aren't really anything you can call allies. Both Russia and China told them to stop when North Korea made threats to nuke the US last year. China pulls in much more money from the US, than they do North Korea, so you guys are much more profitable to China, than North Korea is, that's one of the main reasons they don't/won't aid North Korea in anything like this. Russia, well, like I said before, in 2013, they told North Korea to stop, refused to have their embassies in North Korea evacuated when North Korea told them to, due to the "new war" that was going to be starting and basically, Russia were calling North Korea out on their bluff. Yes, Russia is for the most part blaming the US over the Rubble situation, but even then, I still doubt anything is going to happen, North Korea is known for empty threats and lies, so anything from them should be taken with a grain of salt. I'm just saying if Russia were to aid North Korea in an attack against the US, the reasoning would be the Rubble situation, other than that, it would have been the exact same last year, both China and Russia telling them to stop, but then again, those threats prolonged on for months and everyone was getting sick of North Korea and the US at each others throats, where as this is barely reaching a week. All in all, it'll die down, like it did last year, like it will the next time North Korea decides to throw another tantrum.
