yah, it doesn't look to be a good situation LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 24/05/2010 02:50:08 PM
I really hope it doesn't come to a conflict, for so many reasons. I'm not a huge fan of wars to begin with, but our military is already overextended in the middle east. I really don't think we can afford to start sending military to Korea.

Just a bad pot of curdled milk all around.

But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? Tom - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 628 Views

No, because China doesn't want us in the region. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:20:47 AM 595 Views

If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it. Tom - 24/05/2010 02:56:39 PM 624 Views
mm. well I don't much like that either, to be honest. LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 03:00:29 PM 610 Views

Still scary and you know that using those would escalate everything. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:26:12 PM 576 Views
Korea is directly in our sphere of influence Tom - 24/05/2010 03:37:18 PM 521 Views
I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 671 Views
In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang. Tom - 24/05/2010 05:50:52 PM 510 Views

I agree that if war is inevitable, it is much better to start it at a time of our choosing. Tom - 24/05/2010 03:48:36 PM 664 Views
I agree random thoughts - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 674 Views

No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 12:54:49 AM 613 Views
Well, it would be more accurate to say they want a conflict, yes. Joel - 25/05/2010 01:15:23 AM 608 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 01:24:17 AM 595 Views
I'm saying the Cold War isn't over, since it was never about capitalism vs. communism to begin. Joel - 25/05/2010 01:41:28 AM 635 Views
