really. whats going to happen in the future with N. Korea. they have a crazy dictator who seems like he wants to rule the earth. im just afraid a nuclear war will break out.
Yeah, I think we are somewhere between the whole downplaying of the issue by the Americans and the North Korean media making war seem imminent. I believe it is a big issue, especially since they have known nuclear weapons AND ties to China. China scares the hell outa me
Knowing George Bush when he finally gets the troops out of Iraq, if that ever happens. He will give them a month off, and start another five year war with N. Korea.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting WhiteManCanJump:</div><div class="quote_post">China scares the hell outa me</div> Yea, I don't know why the gigantic US debt to China isn't more of a concern. I know right now the Chinese are willing to support the US economy, because their own economy is highly dependant on American consumer culture. But, you figure that at some point China's markets will fully develop and not be so producer-oriented. When that happens, watch out.
Nothing will happen yet. The US needs to establish relations with China, without them you'd most likely lose.
Now its gonna be a war.. I guess. U.S. just needs to stop messing with everyone. Why does U.S. act like they own every country and can tell them what to do. It is not like North Korea is just gonna nuclear bomb us. Just leave them alone and they'll leave you alone. Bush stop trying to create wars. My message to Bush. "Dont start none, won't be none." If he doesnt try to start anything.. nothing is gonna happen. And even if a war occurs its bush's fault for starting it.
North Korea didn't stockpile nuclear weapons because of the US. America does create a lot of its own problems, but you're thinking way too simplistic.

So why is U.S. telling them not to test it? Who is U.S.? Do they own the world? Now tell me who is messing with North Korea? And yes America does create its own problems. Going to Iraq.. Trying to mess with people there.. Who is starting mess with countries. Countries like Iran and North Korea could unite and easily defeat U.S.

The US had nothing to do with it. NK has been hostile to everyone except China and a few Islamic nations, since the end of the Korean War. They've been a threat to Japan and South Korea for a while now. The US, UN, any other country should be warning NK. Of course the US creates its' own problems. But not everything that is wrong with the world stems from American foreign policy. Iraq needed to be messed with. I definitely disagree with the way the US went about it (it should have been been a UN-headed peacekeeping mission). But Hussein was committing genocide on the Kurdish population, and that needed to be addressed. And, no. None of those countries could defeat the US. If you're going to be biased, at least have some sort of justification.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Brian:</div><div class="quote_post">stupid question, but does anyone know how many nukes the US has?</div> Enough to kill us all.

North korea must feel very threatened by the US and it's power to **** up other countries, thats probably why they've got all those weapons. i think US forces needed to take a step back about 10-15 years ago and ask themselves why they are doing this, better yet they should have done that before they went into vietnam, its the same thing man, any country different to there culture that they have no understanding of is apparently a threat to them so they get in there and blow it up. like vietnam like iraq and could well be like north korea, so what they have a dictator who knows nothing about the world or anyone in it, i think that sounds alot like you, Mr.Bush! why is it the US governments job to "liberate" people, they dont need liberating! there is nothing wrong with the people living in these countries anymore, it's you and there government system that makes there lives hell.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Brian:</div><div class="quote_post">stupid question, but does anyone know how many nukes the US has?</div> I remember hearing that we have enough nukes to blow up the world 13 times.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Soft Parade:</div><div class="quote_post">I remember hearing that we have enough nukes to blow up the world 13 times.</div> that's great so even in the worst case scenario we would only use one thirteenth of our nukes - so the taxpayers paid for 12 planets worth of nuclear weapons for nothing when that money could have been spent on health care and schools.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Soft Parade:</div><div class="quote_post">I remember hearing that we have enough nukes to blow up the world 13 times.</div> if we do have that many nukes, why are we letting countries like north korea scare us? they should be scared of us
I think the media is balooning this into something bigger then it really is. I mean yes they have nuclear bombs, but it would just be there deathwish to even try to touch us. As stupid as there president is, hes not THAT stupid. I think its up to us, to decide what happens. Because if we just leave them alone, and dont attack them or pressure them, they wont do anything to us. This is just another one of North Korea's plots to get attention, and gain something out of it by scaring other countrys. Ala, 1996, they threatened with missles and the USA gave them money. In 2000, they threatened again, and South Korea gave them food, etc.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting The Soft Parade:</div><div class="quote_post">And don`t we have more technology when it comes to nukes than any other country?</div> Yea seriously. NK wouldnt try to touch us. ANd they know it.
