But trying not to unfortunately doesn't deter the kind of people running the NK government.

They've been kidnapping and murdering people for decades - people outside of their own country. Inside they've been brutalizing their own populace to the point where NK folks from the same family as SK folks are usually several inches shorter due to malnutrition.

It's a horrible state, to be honest. There's literally nothing good about it.

If it does get taken down (and really it should have been long ago) I just hope it can be done without too much damage to the extremely deluded civilians of the area. They never asked for this and don't deserve it.


and me thinking about it will not change this state of events overly much. Normally I would, but these days I am trying not to.

But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? Tom - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 625 Views
that might well be a good point snoopcester - 24/05/2010 03:20:32 PM 584 Views

No, because China doesn't want us in the region. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:20:47 AM 592 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 622 Views
mm. well I don't much like that either, to be honest. LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 03:00:29 PM 608 Views

Still scary and you know that using those would escalate everything. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:26:12 PM 574 Views
Korea is directly in our sphere of influence Tom - 24/05/2010 03:37:18 PM 520 Views
I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 669 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 507 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 662 Views
I agree random thoughts - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 671 Views

China does. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:29:11 AM 581 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 12:54:49 AM 610 Views
Well, it would be more accurate to say they want a conflict, yes. Joel - 25/05/2010 01:15:23 AM 605 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 01:24:17 AM 592 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 633 Views
North Korea is not acting suicidal? Are you kidding? everynametaken - 25/05/2010 02:41:29 AM 568 Views

You are missing the main point. everynametaken - 25/05/2010 03:36:37 AM 623 Views
I'm not saying it's nothing new. Libby - 25/05/2010 03:57:40 AM 599 Views
Your response highlights the ultimate problem: the crisis will have to keep getting bigger. Tom - 25/05/2010 07:44:19 PM 533 Views
Yes, that is the danger. Libby - 26/05/2010 09:04:36 PM 679 Views
