haha. I love that mental image LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 02:51:53 PM 689 Views
But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? Tom - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 716 Views
that might well be a good point snoopcester - 24/05/2010 03:20:32 PM 686 Views
Very interesting point. That is a wild card. *NM* Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:27:53 PM 244 Views

yah, it doesn't look to be a good situation LadyLorraine - 24/05/2010 02:50:08 PM 688 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 706 Views

Still scary and you know that using those would escalate everything. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 03:26:12 PM 659 Views
Korea is directly in our sphere of influence Tom - 24/05/2010 03:37:18 PM 609 Views
I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. Tashmere - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 760 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 587 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 751 Views
I agree random thoughts - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 765 Views

No one wants to resume the Korean War. Libby - 24/05/2010 11:27:12 PM 719 Views
China does. Joel - 25/05/2010 12:29:11 AM 663 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 12:54:49 AM 690 Views
Well, it would be more accurate to say they want a conflict, yes. Joel - 25/05/2010 01:15:23 AM 685 Views
No, they don't Libby - 25/05/2010 01:24:17 AM 672 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 713 Views
North Korea is not acting suicidal? Are you kidding? everynametaken - 25/05/2010 02:41:29 AM 642 Views

Yes, that is the danger. Libby - 26/05/2010 09:04:36 PM 761 Views
Fair enough. I misunderstood your position before. everynametaken - 26/05/2010 12:31:52 AM 646 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 721 Views
The wisest thing to do, in my mind, is to force the issue now. Tom - 25/05/2010 07:49:56 PM 700 Views
