North Korea

[Uuaww]

Just wondering what everyone's take is on this situation? I've been reading up a ton on it lately and it doesn't seem good due to how volatile Kim Jung un is.

[shel311]

Can I get an update on what I've missed these last couple of months?

I'm out of the loop, too much Disney Junior!

Thank God I'm not still in South Korea

[fsupenguin]

He'll push the button sooner or later, I don't see how it doesn't end up in a situation with a ton of people dead.

Rodman is on it. We good.

they are so over matched its starting to hurt us. we would crush them in any sort of war, and who would use nuclear weapons? someone who is desperate and knows its the only way they can save themselves. i mean it feels like that one dude that acts all crazy and shit to scare anyone from messing with him, like a prison movie or something lol.

Not even close. Ultimately everyone in the world knows that North Korea is a dying, desperate regime. They may start a war and they might well take a lot of people down with them, mainly in South Korea. But few other countries, if any at all, will step in on their side. A unified peaceful Korea is better for everyone especially the starving North Koreans who are living with no electricity or functioning plumbing.

Now if this was some sort of conflict involving Pakistan and India, then I'd get worried because that pulls in China and Iran and anyone and everyone should worry about them. Oh yeah, they all have functioning nukes or may soon have them in Iran's case.

North Korea is more likely to nuke themselves than anyone else. The only way they're going to nuke anyone is if they personally carry it there. Nell Carter gets more elevation than North Korean missiles.

very true. north korea is the worry now, but ultimately the middle east is far more dangerous.

i mean come on... you really think they could do that? the only missle we have seen them with, that has been tested, has a range of like 1200 miles or so, i think guam was the only us territory they could reach. south korea or japan are the ones at risk, or any us troops/bases around that area.

North Korea's current nuclear missile program:

Something smells fishy in all of this. They have nothing to gain from it. It could be the military crowd there painting the young leader in a corner to get him to go along with them, or it could be a manufactured crisis to get everyone's mind off the fact that our economy is in the crapper. Pay no mind to the unemployment rate. Look at the number of people leaving the workforce each month. It's quite scary.

on a scale of 1-100 of things you should concern yourself with

North Korea is a negative eleventy billion. turn off the nightly news

"guess wut"

[Seeitsaveit13]

They just do this every so often to try to get foreign aid. They know that someone will give it to them if they try to fwex their wittle muscles.

They're so ronery.

While I think he will do it sooner or later, I have to agree with you.

99% of Americans shouldn't worry about North Korea. The only Americans that should worry about them are the ones stationed in South Korea, Japan or possibly Guam. If we were to go to war with them the mass amounts of North Korean Soldiers that would defect would crush all hope they thought they possibly had. A unified Korea is good for the world, it'll happen within 10 years I think.
