haha. I love that mental image LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 02:51:53 PM 791 Views
But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? Tom - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 820 Views
that might well be a good point snoopcester - 24/05/2010 03:20:32 PM 783 Views
Very interesting point. That is a wild card. *NM* Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:27:53 PM 286 Views

I don't know... Tashmere - 24/05/2010 09:49:25 PM 734 Views
No, because China doesn't want us in the region. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:20:47 AM 799 Views

yah, it doesn't look to be a good situation LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 02:50:08 PM 788 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 810 Views
mm. well I don't much like that either, to be honest. LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 03:00:29 PM 792 Views

Still scary and you know that using those would escalate everything. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:26:12 PM 749 Views
Korea is directly in our sphere of influence Tom - 24/05/2010 03:37:18 PM 702 Views
I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 867 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 685 Views
Oh yuck - there are far better ways. SilverWarder - 24/05/2010 06:01:44 PM 731 Views

I don't think the US could, if China decided to get involved BlackAdder - 24/05/2010 08:45:23 PM 690 Views
A part of me says just get it over with random thoughts - 24/05/2010 03:21:06 PM 689 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 850 Views
I agree random thoughts - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 864 Views

No one wants to resume the Korean War. Libby - 24/05/2010 11:27:12 PM 824 Views
China does. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:29:11 AM 784 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 12:54:49 AM 792 Views
Well, it would be more accurate to say they want a conflict, yes. Joel - 25/05/2010 01:15:23 AM 800 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 01:24:17 AM 767 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 811 Views
North Korea is not acting suicidal? Are you kidding? everynametaken - 25/05/2010 02:41:29 AM 738 Views

I'm not saying it's nothing new. Libby - 25/05/2010 03:57:40 AM 773 Views
Your response highlights the ultimate problem: the crisis will have to keep getting bigger. Tom - 25/05/2010 07:44:19 PM 715 Views
Yes, that is the danger. Libby - 26/05/2010 09:04:36 PM 859 Views
Fair enough. I misunderstood your position before. everynametaken - 26/05/2010 12:31:52 AM 752 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 815 Views
The wisest thing to do, in my mind, is to force the issue now. Tom - 25/05/2010 07:49:56 PM 799 Views
