OT: N Korea

[The Sushi Hunter]

I like this. This is an open invitation to eliminate them, transform N Korea into Korea with S Korea, and be done with them.

And by the way, "Missin the Bush Doctrine?" What in the Hell is wrong with you, Eric? The Bush Doctrine?

Yeah.....I'd rather proactively deal with this shit...call me stupid

Stupid.

You Cons can't wait to get into another war. The Hawks are circling Washington, looking and hoping this Iranian debacle escalates so we can do another war thingy. And now N Korea has you all hard too.

Eric, I see you are a hard core GOP er. Have you served in the Military? Would you sign up and put your ass on the line, or simply sit back and chant war war war?

No..haven't served. Wasn't pro-military as a kid, then after 9-11 completely did a 180 on everything defense and military. I considered right on 9-11 but didn't know if I could hack it to be brutally honest. If we were attacked by a North Korea say, I would join, but as an overweight 35 year old with a shitty ankle I'm not sure they'd have me? I'd like to think I could offer the military some skill in some way...but I don't know? I don't hope either the Iranian or N.Korean issues escalate, but I do worry they will. I don't feel these guys fear consequences at this point in time. Its scary. I'd sleep better if we could take Kimmy out.

Your safe. We wouldn't want someone with a shitty ankle out in the field. You'd get some of our good men killed when they tried to save you. But if you wanted to contribute to the effort, I'm sure you could work for a company who manufacture goods for the troops (tanks, weapons, clothing, food, etc.)

This is North Korea saber rattling, nothing more nothing less.

If you guys haven't figured this out, this guy speaks the same tongue as other isolated psychos running oppressive countries. The phrase "wiping *insert*country*here* from the map" was used by Iran too, folks.

It's just the negative attention seeking of a dictator that can't make his tyranny work without the rest of the world bearing down on him.

I give this guy the same attention that my Mother-In-Law and my grandmother deserve, zero. They are all attention starved, and not for positive attention....negative attention.


I do think that someone like this guy should NOT be allowed to have nuclear weapons, because the likelihood of N.Korea, Iran or my Mother-In-Law to actually hit the red button and use nuclear weapons is high.

But having said that, I also think that squaring off and fighting these nations is also a mistake, because of the above phrase.


So to that end, Bush got it wrong. Answering these saber-rattling threats only gives these dictators the ability to advance internal tyranny. I think, as much as it pains me to say it, Obama's doing the right thing. He's being awfully pragmatic with Iran and N.Korea and only responding to things that need direct attention.

N.Korea and Iran will change from within, because to change from outside force will only strengthen the tyrannical resolve of these countries....Iran almost did it this week. There's going to be a civil war in that country soon....all we have to do is sit back and watch from the sidelines and make sure nothing spills over. In the end, we can extend a hand to the much weakened power that wins out and name our terms.

American military forces get involved when there is a chance that other countries may get involved which will spin a war difficulty out of control resulting in a global scenario. If Japan started sending ships and aircraft over to N. Korea, America would stop them and then do it themselves or have Japan play a much smaller role in that effort. Say Japan, S. Korea and Taiwan all started waring with N. Korea, other countries would jump in and it would be like a WWII scenario. It would eventually escalate into the worlds super powers such as China, Russia and America getting involved. We'd be smack dab in the middle of a WWIII situation then, which would result in all out global nuclear war. The last people alive would probably be in some places in Africa and the Himalayan mountain range.

Great....

What would the reason China and Russia would have any interest in N. Korea? What goods and/or services do they depend on and get from N. Korea? In order for them to want to get involved, N. Korea would have to be something special to them. I don't see anything special, for the exception that maybe a bunch of nail salons and massage parlors owned and operated in china and Russia by women from N. Korea.
