North Korea raises nuclear stakes

Umm, anybody else feeling a little jittery over this whole thing? Screw Iraq! Saddam is peanuts compared to this Pyongyang guy. What's worse, he's not just pissing off the US, but the rest of the world in the process. WTF is he thinking?

I smell war... but don't feel bad man u live in the middle of the country. I live on the east coast but i think Korea would go to the west coast first unless they wanna hit the capital then i'm fucked. The White House is like 1 hr away haha 1 nuke and no more trance for me. I just hope it gets settled and i bet if they listened to a lil trance everyone would be fine

Just because I'm in the middle of the country doesn't mean I won't get bombed! Whiteman AFB, where the B1 stealth bombers fly out for long range missions, is just 45 min. away. Wichita, KS has McConnell AFB and a Boeing aircraft plant, and that's only 2 hr. away. Believe me, if this becomes an all out war, it won't matter where you live. Even though N. Korea doesn't have long range missles yet, that still doesn't make me feel any better!

WFT are you talking about?

quote:

However, North Korea announced in December it was reactivating nuclear facilities frozen under the pact, maintaining it was forced to produce energy after Washington stopped sending fuel shipments to North Korea, which it said was a violation of the agreement.

Should they rather go back to stone age level?
All they seem to do is produce energy.

quote:

Washington says it stopped sending the fuel after North Korea disclosed it had a nuclear weapons program in October.

So what? While US threaten other countries like Iraq with their full Military Force (including their atomic bombs!!) others are not even allowed to have scientific activities in that field? WHY?

Of course not. If that's their intentions, why kick the UN inspectors out? Why cover up the cameras? C'mon, you're being a little too naive here.

I'm not a backer of Iraq, nor am I much of a backer of hardly any of Bush policies for that matter (primarily because I believe he's an absolute capitalist white-collar moron who's a puppet of corporate big whigs). You're being extremely naive to think that they are using nuclear reactors (secretly, mind you) for energy purposes only. Remember that they got busted for shipping missles to Yemen? Why were they under blocks of cement? You think the US is the only country a little concerned over this? Try the whole freaking world! No way are they simply backing out of this treaty that was created in the 60's for energy purposes!

Im gonna post a typical canadian reply. hehe
Lets all stop fighting now, and go drink a beer.

its just a propaganda game...north korea's economy is messed up...ppl. are starving there...the government is in danger of losing power...at such times governments tend to play the old 'wag the dog' game...divert ppls attention away from domestic matters...i seriously doubt that it will lead to anything serious...not with north korea at least

Political jousting. Krazy Kim (Jong Il) just wants some money, no one wants a war, it'll all work out somehow.
I am opposed to dea of out and out appeasement as (if we do not demand the immediate halt to North Korea's nuclear weapons programs) they will always hold this sword of damicles over the whole Far East,
and that is unacceptable

If anything, They will attack us where it will mostly affect us. Los Angelas, Possibly San Fran., New York City, Washington D.C, Maybe Houston or Dallas, And maybe Some city in Florida, And Possibly CHicago, Any major city where the majority of the Politics\Financial stuff is, They will hit, No Financial stuff + no politics = Anarchist state = Takeover = N.W.O

Why hasn't anyone mentioned that the United States refused to sign the Treaty on the Non-proliferation of Nuclear Weapons? ...And now the U.S. government has a problem with countries who also refuse the premises of this treaty. Hipocrates!
