But unless we completely capitulate open war is the form that will eventually take. I'm sure China would much prefer our capitulation, but that would just be declaring open season on America for any and all competitors. Sooner or later (hopefully the former) the powers that be will realize that. Maybe after we lose a few more Navy aircraft and their top secret technologies, while we beg them to release the crews.


~sigh~ I have to be honest here, I'm having trouble following your train of thought on this subject. Are you saying China and the United States should go to war? And this helps the situation on the Korean peninsula how?

But does North Korea really listen to China that much anymore? - 24/05/2010 02:55:04 PM 892 Views

No, because China doesn't want us in the region. - 25/05/2010 12:20:47 AM 877 Views
Um, wasn't that pretty much always understood? - 25/05/2010 12:08:12 AM 811 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 888 Views

I meant "we" in a personal sense, not a national sense. - 24/05/2010 05:36:40 PM 936 Views
In a personal sense, we could hijack a nuclear silo and shoot an ICBM at Pyongyang. - 24/05/2010 05:50:52 PM 755 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 921 Views
I agree - 24/05/2010 04:17:19 PM 934 Views

North Korea is not acting suicidal? Are you kidding? - 25/05/2010 02:41:29 AM 809 Views
The internal political dynamic in North Korea is such that they constantly need a crisis. - 25/05/2010 03:03:59 AM 838 Views
You are missing the main point. - 25/05/2010 03:36:37 AM 882 Views
I'm not saying it's nothing new. - 25/05/2010 03:57:40 AM 847 Views
