I'm amazed by the ignorance of both Bush and Obama government about N.Korea. They got nukes, they are "the" most extreme dictatorship I have heard of, they are threatening with war, and yet we supposed to be worrying about Iran?

Anyone please, just watch this video if you have 53 minutes, it sums up what is going on in N.Korea. It's shocking and disturbing.

Welcome to North Korea

The whole point is not to drop any nukes by anyone anywhere.



US and allies have no levers
Rhetoric aside, the US and its allies have no realistic means with which to punish North Korea. Military action is widely considered unthinkable. This is not merely because the US is militarily stretched in Afghanistan and Iraq, nor is it because the North could retaliate using its nuclear weapons. It is also because Pyongyang has massive conventional weaponry, including a 1.1 million-strong army
(the world's fifth-largest), 180,000-strong special forces (the world's largest such force), and thousands of artillery pieces and short- and medium-range missiles capable of raining destruction on South Korea and Japan.

Moreover, North Korea has always insisted that its nuclear arsenal is for deterrence purposes. Unless Pyongyang is caught red-handed selling nuclear weapons to terrorists groups or anti-Western states such as Iran, the US, South Korea and Japan would struggle to find a casus belli against the North.

Tighter sanctions are often cited as a potential lever against North Korea. Yet the truth is that the communist state is already subject to so many sanctions that any new ones would largely be meaningless. In any case, Pyongyang has chosen a course of isolation for itself and has willingly moved to cut off joint projects with South Korea, such as the Kaesong Industrial Park, where southern companies manufacture goods using low-cost northern labor.

With the US, South Korea and Japan largely powerless, attention has naturally turned to China to punish the North. Since Beijing is Pyongyang's biggest source of aid and investment, it has the ability to strangle its neighbor into submission. Yet China would never do this, since doing so would risk triggering the very collapse of the North which it so fears.

A putative collapse there would result in millions of North Koreans fleeing into China, thus boosting the strength of the ethnic Korean population already there, and adding to local unemployment problems. Furthermore, Beijing does not wish to see instability in the North that could lead to US military intervention so close to its border.

Thus, despite China's official criticism of North Korea's nuclear test, and its apparent desire to play a more responsible role in the international arena, punitive measures are unlikely. Indeed, there were unconfirmed rumors on May 25 that Pyongyang had given Beijing advance notice of the nuclear test. If true, this means at best that China was unable to stop North Korea. At worst, China might have secretly welcomed the test, for it makes the US and its allies look powerless.

who can stop it? is it anyon'e right to stop it? if so, who decides who stops it?

The people on this planet...in a perfect world. Deciding what is moral, what isn't. What is good or what is bad.

Since we are not living in one, war is only made when the top businessmen think they can make a profit on it.

in other words...those with the biggest nukes have the say?

Yes. Sadly. Sadly we are the ones hiding behind this schoolyard bully theory. We, the descendants of founding fathers, ended up being simply a bully, who respects only strength.

As with guns, the best way to equality with nuclear weapons (now that some irresponsible people have brought them out of their evil minds and into our world), is to allow each access to them.

Who opposes this idea? Us. Because if every state had nukes, we won't be able to roll through their independence wherever we feel like, to install the government we like.

I think at this point, us telling N.K. to stop is simply anti-american.

The North loves to rattle their swords

but


when they get a nuke or nukes ready, they are dying to nuke the south. could very possibly happen. make no mistake, North Korea will fight if their illustrious leader tells them to. They are not the taliban, they are trained and know how to shoot. The unit supporting JSA (where the talks are held on the DMZ) is an instant write off, it will be a nasty affair if something happens. Don't under estimate North Koreas resolve and the syphalitic mind of "their illustrious leader"

I have had the opportunity to stare the little weasels in the eye, they will fight if given the go by leader Kim. There are so many rockets and artillery on both sides, coordinates are well known, it will be a bloodbath at the onset, sure we will win but it's the units stationed there at the onset that will get hit the hardest. will be nasty. hope it is just sabre rattling again

(((( yellow rose darlin )))) how is Texas's best doing tonight? had to flirt, i've been informed that I am "cheating" by doing so, so tonight is relentless flirt night,

Trust me on this one, you don't want the north to have nukes, they already do, they are just improving them. nukes suck but they aren't going anywhere

(((shooter))) lol I saw
