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.

haha. I love that mental image LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 02:51:53 PM 862 Views
But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? Tom - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 889 Views
that might well be a good point snoopcester - 24/05/2010 03:20:32 PM 848 Views
Very interesting point. That is a wild card. *NM* Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:27:53 PM 321 Views

I don't know... Tashmere - 24/05/2010 09:49:25 PM 804 Views
No, because China doesn't want us in the region. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:20:47 AM 875 Views

yah, it doesn't look to be a good situation LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 02:50:08 PM 861 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 885 Views
mm. well I don't much like that either, to be honest. LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 03:00:29 PM 859 Views

Still scary and you know that using those would escalate everything. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:26:12 PM 826 Views
Korea is directly in our sphere of influence Tom - 24/05/2010 03:37:18 PM 778 Views
I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 933 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 752 Views
Oh yuck - there are far better ways. SilverWarder - 24/05/2010 06:01:44 PM 799 Views

I don't think the US could, if China decided to get involved BlackAdder - 24/05/2010 08:45:23 PM 764 Views
A part of me says just get it over with random thoughts - 24/05/2010 03:21:06 PM 753 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 918 Views
I agree random thoughts - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 931 Views

China does. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:29:11 AM 854 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 12:54:49 AM 862 Views
Well, it would be more accurate to say they want a conflict, yes. Joel - 25/05/2010 01:15:23 AM 866 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 01:24:17 AM 838 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 879 Views
North Korea is not acting suicidal? Are you kidding? everynametaken - 25/05/2010 02:41:29 AM 807 Views

You are missing the main point. everynametaken - 25/05/2010 03:36:37 AM 879 Views
I'm not saying it's nothing new. Libby - 25/05/2010 03:57:40 AM 844 Views
Your response highlights the ultimate problem: the crisis will have to keep getting bigger. Tom - 25/05/2010 07:44:19 PM 790 Views
Yes, that is the danger. Libby - 26/05/2010 09:04:36 PM 923 Views
Fair enough. I misunderstood your position before. everynametaken - 26/05/2010 12:31:52 AM 821 Views
Yes, I've been watching with morbid curiosity and a little sick feeling in my stomach. everynametaken - 25/05/2010 02:47:53 AM 886 Views
The wisest thing to do, in my mind, is to force the issue now. Tom - 25/05/2010 07:49:56 PM 870 Views
