North Korea warns of nuclear war amid rising tensions

[Wezil]

Actually, I was looking for it, and couldn't find it. Apparently Current is trying to avoid offending NK. So I suppose you're right, and the reporters were spies in the service of the American imperialists and their puppets in Seoul.

I was wrong. I admit it. Dear Leader has been merciful. Thank you for showing me the error of my ways, and the correctness of juche.

A little touchy today?

I was asking b/c I was curious and couldn't find it myself.

And I precisely said I had no evidence they were spies... You were dropped weren't you?

[Felch]

Repeatedly.

Actually dropped is when it's gravity that pulls you down. I was hurled.

Ugly babies don't get much loving.

[Wezil]

My sympathies.

No one outside Poly is concerned either.

Gates: US puts more missile defense around Hawaii

Navy monitoring North Korean ship: U.S. officials

29 mins ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Navy is monitoring a North Korean ship at sea under new U.N. sanctions that bar Pyongyang from exporting weapons, including missile parts and nuclear materials, U.S. officials said on Thursday.

Officials said the vessel, called Kang Nam, is based in North Korea and became "a subject of interest" after leaving a North Korean port on Wednesday. They could not confirm media reports describing the vessel as North Korean flagged.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, could not say what the ship, now in international waters, might be carrying.

One official said the Kang Nam would be the first North Korean ship to be monitored under the authority of the U.N. sanctions adopted last week after Pyongyang raised tensions by test-firing missiles, restarting a plant to produce arms-grade plutonium and conducting a May 25 nuclear test.

The Navy and the Pentagon both declined to comment on the vessel.

And did anyone think this wouldn't happen? Kim didn't listen to us, big surprise.

To put the present in perspective, the Norks have frequently kidnapped people in other countries, especially ROK.

Example, the heavily mountainous Gangwon-do Province is right up against NK and historically is NOT a safe place to go walking alone at night. Things have improved with modern technology, but NK has a long long record of kidnapping people in from other countries.

[SlowwHand]

See? The rat bastards!

[Heraclitus]

Why the CIA doesn't just take out Kim Jon is beyond me.

Or perhaps just tomahawk his palace?

It's not like the rest of the world would be upset. We tried this stuff with Saddam and he wasn't even threating anyone.

You do realize North Korea would declare war right? Or that it would at least destabilize NK to the point of regime change?


How can people not realize that stablity is what everyone really wants for North Korea regardless of lipservice.

[SlowwHand]

Destabilize? Where have you been?

[Heraclitus]

Should I hold my breath waiting for that ("reform government") to happen?

Reunification gets more difficult with time, not easier.

No install a pseudofaschist dictator. The US is pretty good at that.

[Heraclitus]

UN disbanding is a better idea because countries can govern themselves. The first step to a New World Order, One Government World is the UN. I am sorry but as an American I will never follow what some elitist from some other country is telling me to do. And why would a UN type structure have to be in place of the UN? Thats the same thing. EU has 30% of the UN because the EU is most of Europe. Security Council seats were given to the super powers at the time. I say the US should just pull out completely, UN is a waste of US tax dollars.

1. The UN isn't a goverment, it dosen't even give soverengty, its a forum of all widley accepted goverments.
2. If humans ever acheive world goverment it would be a good thing
3. NWO secret elite conspiracy theories are retarded
4. Even if that "elitist" was democratically elected? Then why do you listen to what the elitist in Washington is saying? He was elected to lead a country of 300 million people 200 years ago that was equal the population of the entire world. India is a democracy of a billion people. Why couldn't democracy work for 6 billion?
5. The US is free to pull out


I am not going to feed the troll any longer.

[Heraclitus]

Destabilize? Where have you been?

Dude an unstable Korea is 10 million refugees streaming into a SK and China, and a new Somalia but this time in Asia.


Compared to the depts NK has the potential to sink the current regime is predictable and good at keeping NKoreans where they are and the Asian neighbourhood relativley secure.

[SlowwHand]

So you're talking about degrees. It's not like it's stable now.

[Heraclitus]

So you're talking about degrees. It's not like it's stable now.

No, but can you honestly imagine regime change that would improve stability.

How long do you think it will be before Japan acquire its own nuclear weapons in the face of the threat from the DPRK should there existance of weapons there become accepted?
