North Korea is not acting suicidal? Are you kidding? everynametaken Send a noteboard - 25/05/2010 02:41:29 AM
They just sank a ship and killed and wounded multiple South Korean sailors for no reason. This isn't a few ships exchanging some machine gun fire in disputed waters. They made a major aggressive act and are begging for war. I would reassess you nonchalant attitude. The entire peninsula is on the brink of all-out war.

But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 625 Views

I don't know... - 24/05/2010 09:49:25 PM 547 Views
No, because China doesn't want us in the region. - 25/05/2010 12:20:47 AM 592 Views
Um, wasn't that pretty much always understood? - 25/05/2010 12:08:12 AM 555 Views

If there were a war with North Korea the US has the resources to deal with it. - 24/05/2010 02:56:39 PM 621 Views

Korea is directly in our sphere of influence - 24/05/2010 03:37:18 PM 519 Views
I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 668 Views
In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang. - 24/05/2010 05:50:52 PM 507 Views
Oh yuck - there are far better ways. - 24/05/2010 06:01:44 PM 542 Views

That would totally blow my cover of being a nerdy little grandma. - 24/05/2010 09:37:28 PM 526 Views
I don't think the US could, if China decided to get involved - 24/05/2010 08:45:23 PM 509 Views
A part of me says just get it over with - 24/05/2010 03:21:06 PM 516 Views
I agree that if war is inevitable, it is much better to start it at a time of our choosing. - 24/05/2010 03:48:36 PM 662 Views
I agree - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 671 Views
Pretty much agree with all of that. *NM* - 24/05/2010 05:17:27 PM 241 Views

Technically, weren't we always? - 24/05/2010 08:51:29 PM 518 Views
Exactly. - 25/05/2010 12:07:32 AM 573 Views
I try to block it out with thought's of a puppet singing "I'm So Ronery". *NM* - 24/05/2010 10:59:23 PM 230 Views

The internal political dynamic in North Korea is such that they constantly need a crisis. - 25/05/2010 03:03:59 AM 584 Views
You are missing the main point. - 25/05/2010 03:36:37 AM 623 Views
I'm not saying it's nothing new. - 25/05/2010 03:57:40 AM 598 Views
Your response highlights the ultimate problem: the crisis will have to keep getting bigger. - 25/05/2010 07:44:19 PM 532 Views
Yes, that is the danger. - 26/05/2010 09:04:36 PM 678 Views
