There. I changed it. And to quote BTGBullseye, "Thank god you are not in a position of power."

They showed their "open support" by voting with the US on sanctions against North Korea. There's no real evidence that they have the stomach for a fight of this kind, not on their own terms. North Korea is a mess internally. Industrial and power output have receded to pre-1990 levels, while frequent crop failures since a devastating famine in 1995 have compounded food shortages that have fueled chronic malnutrition. All that's keeping its people afloat are international food aid deliveries, mainly from China, which would almost certainly be disrupted or cut off in a war. NK has a 3-2 manpower and weapons advantage over SK, but their weapons are cold-war era or older, while Sk has state-of-the-art US-supplied weapons that most likely more than even the playing field. NK can't win a conventional war on their own. That leaves their chemical weapon stockpile (extensive) and whatever nukes they might be able to field, if any, and whether or not they are actually crazy enough to use them, given the certain response. Everyone knows rthe Norks can't win, but they do know any confrontation with them will be bloody beyond comprehension. I believe the US should withdrawl troops from SK, that would create peace and I am fairly certain SK can defend itself if need be.

Seriously?! No new news and both Koreas are headed toward war! THIS SHOULD BE DISCUSSED!

You sound like a person who is sick of Iraq. Dealing with the Norks may not be as easy as it sounds.

Never really watched the other "Minds", they're a lot like that? Not all of them.

Can you please use the north korea thread? Talk about North Korea here when all hell breaks loose.
-
Alright, so, some fucking idiot had said "we could crush North Korea in 48hrs". Does he even fucking know what he is talking about? It didn't take 48 hours to crush Saddam Hussein's forces. It would take about a month or two to take down North Korea, due to how large their army is and the technology they posses (it may not be the highest tech but it is not a pile of shit either). Now, I must vent about Iraq. What the fuck is wrong with the American public? tens of thousands of people protest after a relatively small loss of life? Why?! Why do they have to do that?! And then people say that Iraq is why we must stay away from Syria and Iran. Again, what is their problem?! Such low numbers! Sorry for complaning, but I had to get that out before I blew up.

Um, nothing would have changed except for a lot more dead Baghdadians(???) and maybe less dead American troops. Also Bush would've won 1st place for Miss. Texas. Well then it is a good thing we didn't nuke Bagdad. For the Iraqis sake not ours.

Alright, a question that I have had on my mind for awhile: What would have happened if the US just nuked Bagdad instead of invading Iraq?

Pffttftttf of course. Yeah at least there can be something for April fools day.

Did I say I was? I am just as mentally incompetant as the rest of the world. Perhaps even moreso. No need to become offensive. You yourself are quite ignorant of problems and continue to be.
-
The Norks are anouncing a state of war. maybe they're serious this time.
-
Everything seems quiet over there now. I guess the power vacuum is gone.
-
Well, from what I just heard on the news, the Norks have a list of cities they wish to destroy. Now which ones they can hit is the question.

Somebody just shoot me. I give up trying to explain sense. Is there ONE competant human being?

Are we talking about the Taliban or Iran here? Stay on topic or this gets locked.

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't see it, I figured the Breaking News thread was kind of where all this stuff was supposed to go. If a mod happens to spot his thread, I'd be thankful if they could just drop all my posts there, if they want. It is in "Civillization problems"
