There was no new world after World War I or World War II there was mass devastation. If that was your idea of a new world then you sir would be correct.

Hmm....I ain't talking about Fallout style of change here chief. I'm talking about mentality. That's a change too. And mass genocide. Yes see, that's a change too. ( Yes I'm a captain obvious. )

What happened after WWI and WWII? Change of mentality. Change of leaders, change of plans , change of laws. I'm sorry if my terms are...primitive. Also the UN would finally buff up and do something that actually involved some direct change.....Heheh, I'm such a riot. ( They can still fool us. Beware though. )

I'm having a hard time digesting that. Sorry. ( Not the fact that you read fantasy books. That's actually pretty cool. )

Lol, yesh! That would be so great to see! Jeez, N. Korea is definitely trying to push everyone's buttons. They've been advised against such actions like 2-3 times before and they don't seem to care much at all! They seriously are trying to rile other countries up just to start a senseless war. Those people remind me of hard-headed children with their behavior.

I vote for the stark raving, and the fact that his health has been declining, he may not even care what happens to his country anymore, as he knows he might not be around much longer anyways.

I second the stark raving mad. North Korea have completely lost all sense now. Kim Jong Il and his military rulers were always a few spanners short of a toolkit, but this is really taking the biscuit. Not only have they been firing off all those missiles, but they have re-opened their nuclear facility and threatened military strikes against South Korea! Kim Jong Il has said that North Korea "no longer consider themselves bound by the 1953 treaty" (the truce that ended the Korean War).

Even the Chinese government has lost patience with North Korea and is criticising the regime.

Personally, I really hate wishing death on others, but the sooner Kim Jong Il kicks the bucket, the better. Hopefully the resulting power vacuum wouldn't be filled with another madman. It makes me sad when I think of the ordinary North Korean people, having to live under his thumb and get their heads filled with all that propaganda crap.

[Yakatsu]

As soon Kim kicks the bucket , Kim Junior comes in the play.

We need to overthrown the Jong Il family away from power. If not possible...eradicate them. It happened with Suddam's family.

It can easily happen to Kim's.

I'm more worried if Kim actually goes ape insane and wages war. Then the ordinary people of North Korea , will probably not only have that propaganda crap in their brains...they'll die for it. This is a time bomb ready to explode. Unfortunately, it's going to explode either way. If it doesn't....good. But that's unlikely.

I just feel badly for the Asian people of so many different nations, whom are being held down by the steel thumb of their regions rulers. North Korea, China, Tibet, Myanmar/Burma. Asians just can't seem to catch a break

I think N.Korea's serious people.... WW3's coming in the next few years, I bet..... man, y'know something? if Bush had a LOT of time in his hands, instead of sending troops to the meaningless Iraq war, he should've sent troops to N.Korea & invade it for god's sakes!!! BTW True, that was hilarious!!!!

Iran's engaging in the same behavior and people cried out in indignation when they thought Bush wanted to invade that country. There is no way they would have let him invade North Korea. In fact, Iran isn't as far along and might be stopped through military intervention. Should Obama just have the 120,000 in Iraq march on Iran?

In my opinion. Strong military diplomacy should be enacted towards NK. The economical sanction don't harm the regime as much as a threat of immediate joint military action against the Peninsula would. Why? In my opinion, the NK leadership speaks and understands only the language of war, as it is shown by their usage of nuclear arms as a means of bargain.

The threat of military retaliation against NK should also be enacted at this moment when China and Russia do not have much economical leverage on the Western world due to the slump of oil prices( and demand) and the overall ailing global economy.

Actually, China has huge leverage. Nobody owns more US Debt than the Chinese. Pelosi and Geitner have had to fly over there to try and reassure them so they Chinese would continue to buy our debt. And as Obama continues to grow the debt, he will need someone to buy or he'll be forced to monetize the entire thing.

[Pite]

Yes, but also look that China has its currency pegged on the US Dollar, what would be good for them (Export wise) is the fall of the U currency, but they fear inflation that would wipe out their massive foreign currency surplus ($5 Trillion Dollars (CFR.org).

True, Geithner flew into China to assure the Chinese on the temporary existance of the American Super-Deficit.
Yet, look at the fact that the Chinese Economy has suffered a lot due to the ailing American demand (a fall by 20% quite recently). What I'm arguing is that, well they don't have as much of a leverage (albeit substantial you're right my statement was errounous) as they used to since the Dollar rose in value comparatitivly to other currencies. Also Geitner can use the American market as a leverage, he can propose to increase tarriffs on Chinese goods etc.

Also, the Chinese seemed displeased with the NK nuclear test, and what I think also with the choice of the NK successor, the 25 year old Kim offspring, who is said to be similar to his father. I gotta feeling that the phone between Pyongyang and Beijing was at least ringing alot recently.

Yea, you go ahead and do that Kim Jon Il, and see how quick that little rat hole of a country would be wiped off the face of the earth.

[Xabsol]

North and South korea should like, have a big fight (in north korea, 'cus wouldnt want nice little south citizens getting hurt now, would we?) Matrix style with lots of guns, fire and tall buildings.





Ok. Stupid idea.

He's betting that the international community doesn't have the balls to oppose him for long, and for good reason. There is a long history of, well, them not having the balls to seriously oppose him for long. It also helps that he has aid in China who warned people not actually enforce those new sanctions through any kind of force.
