did anyone really expect him to say no in public

here we go again

another war????

starting to look like 30s europe

scary isn't it

yep....sending our troops to yet another country????

actually they are already there

just tensions are increasing yet again

they never settled their differences in the 50s

just been agreeing to dis agree

but te nuke tests are heating things up

literally

that does it...I'm taking over the world

Apocalypse!! I'm starting to think we really are beginning to see the end of the world........

well that would just make the world all rosy wouldn't it

never know

after all yer not supposed to predict it

but every one that preaches it tries

now thats scary

If this is scaring you I bet you are glad you weren't alive for WW II, WW I, the Civil War, The Hundred Years' War, the Thirty Years' War, The Crusades, the Peloponnesian wars and all the "minor" skirmishes in between.


Ohh if history is any indicator, I think that some empty rhetoric by some whack job in North Korea is relatively minor.

What our US Government is doing is the equivalent of.... Throwing the front and back doors of the house wide open (ie see mexican and canadian borders) running down the street to the neighbors and kicking in thier door and beating thier *#**# (ie see Iraq, N Korea, Iran etc etc etc) all becuase someone is trying to break into thier house ( ie "terrrorism). Its a damn joke. Can anyone else see the story behind the story? Perhaps Russia and China will drop a few clues soon...

Other than in WW I and WW II we were a super power. Pretty different when you look at it that way, we don't have the troop support, the money, or the power to go through a war like that anymore.
