History class. If you reviewed WWII, you'll see that there were many strategies on how to use the nuclear bomb, but we decided on hitting cities that were rather minor to show that we will attack civilians.

Peaceful solutions are always preferable...

I'm not that worried about North Korea, as others said, their nukes would probably malfunction, and the country will most likely collapse before they can develop the technology to the point where it becomes a serious threat.

Why is everyone freaking out anyways? The USA has nukes too and other countries arent concerned.

Therefore, US = idiots. too peace-minded to govern the world. too idiotic to retaliate attacks.

Also, NK doesn't have technology to launch weapons all the way to US. If ANYTHING, they will attack SK (Bad for me, my home nation with my family living there), or they will attack nothing at all.

Peace-minded? We invaded Iraq wholly unprovoked and you consider the US peace-minded? The only reason the US hasn't invaded North Korea is because it could never gather any international support whatsoever for such an action. If the North clearly attempted to hit us with a nuclear warhead, there would be Tomohawks heading for Pyongyang within the hour.

Secondly, what on earth makes you think that South Korea would be attacked?

Tomahawks roughly carry about 200kt firepower, much smaller than the T-2 missile. The artillery of U.S. in war time can carry 1kt nuclear laden shots. It is much more powerful than the failed nuclear explosion the NK has, but they still have alot of conventional weapons.
( There were 3 evil nations. Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. One down and 2 to go. )
SK wouldn't be attacked, because if NK decided to attack SK, the entire world would attack NK.

( The If case )
The entire city of Seoul could be dust in 30 minutes if NK decided to attack. It's a very amusing way to suicide. A city for emos.

Yikes just on the news I watched a segment of the north korea conflict and north korea says

"If America keeps pressuring north korea on nuclear weapons they threaten to declare war on the U.S"

Scary isnt it. closedeyes.gif But theres no way N.A can fight america alone. Remember america vs japan

America vs Japan was like Japan tickled America.

If North korea was to wage war on us, We wouldnt even feel a thing.

If they did wage war (which is probably bull, and they just said it to act tough), I doubt they would use the nuclear bomb to signal it, I'm sure absolutley nothing will happen if they did declare war. Unless our government is stupid enough to actually invade North Korea, all it will result in is an even icier relationship between the two nations (and probably a few others.) If you look at North Korea's past, you'll see that they blow a whole lot of steam at America and others.

Countries like Japan and South Korea would. They are perfectly inside the conventional weapons range, and you cant just stop a conventional weapon from detonating. They dont even show up on the radars.
If U.S. decided to wage a war on N.K. without any reason, U.S. would be considered a outlaw nation; reputation would fail; and you guys would have to pay more taxes not to mention rights being taken away. These things all effect all the people and you never stop to think about it.
( You guys should note that Sanctions are considered aggressive actions; because if the U.S. decided to make a country very unstable; they could. )

And. They don't have to launch Nuclear weapons in N.K! Don't you know! They can sneak a submarine out to launch a conventional missile armed with nuclear weapons; clearly people can't escape that. They succeeded in sneaking out Heroines too; why not submarines and nukes?
World War III = Ain't gonna happen.

Im sure South Korea and Japan can easily destroy North Korea. But South Korea right now is trying to help North Korea. Also they've been trying to make a treaty and been trying to make Korea one again.

Thats what I call retarded. Our economy would be killed in an instant joining with the rednecks. The Japanese can't attack and South Korean government is retarded. No, I don't see that as a possibility.

Who are these red necks your referring too? Are you talking about the North Koreans? And how is the South Korean government retarded? They are trying to make Korea one again.
Report, edit, etc...Posted by Lithium on 2006-10-12 at 18:59:20
Yes. The only true redneck in the world is North Korea only.

The South Korean government is retarded. If you notice; it would cause the economy to destabilize at first. ( 40,000,000 people without a job. Yeah such a good idea. 40,000,000 people less than 400 dollar earn. That would cause our 24,000$ average earn to about 2000$. ) Thats one thing the South Korean government is retarded about.

Report, edit, etc...Posted by Lithium on 2006-10-12 at 19:07:21
It isnt a oxymoron. Its the thing that happened to Germany when they joined together. Even then; the communist side germany had much less people and decent earnings. The west germany held a very powerful economics much better compared to South Korea. If today; SK and NK became one Korea; I would just leave the country and name it a "illegitimate child country". Even though I'am a Korean; I feel no good with the current government we have. Roh-Moo-Hyun is more insane than Kim Jong Il.

I don't really see japan going to war again. Right now they seem to be an economic country recovering to its standard power. But who knows if they do join in the war there yen value goes up.

LoL kamikaze aircrafts striking N.K army. But anything could happen.

My history teacher told me that the people of North Korea are starving and the Chinease have to send in rescue food operations. She also told me the Chinease are embarrassed about it and that the North Korean government continues to make nuclear weapons and ignores the people's welfare.

Obviously I don't have solid evidence on this its just something I heard. Call it a rumour(unless it was said already then my bad).

Yeah, North Korea living conditions are pretty low.. They don't have much food...

Just wondering if anybody else can confirm/deny this... but somebody told me North Koreans eat grass because they have nothing else to eat..?
Report, edit, etc...Posted by lonely_duck on 2006-10-12 at 21:37:38
The North Korean government ran a campaign on how to make grass cakes a few years back, so yeah, they eat grass.

And? I simply said that is North Korea attempted to nuke the US, the US would be launching Tomohawks and ground troops at Pyongyang within the hour.

Sooo, the GNP ousts the Uri party, gets all cozy with the US, gives the US a crapload of money and engages in fierce crippling sanctions against North Korea

...and then...

Backed into a corner, Kim launches a nice array of SCUDs at Seoul, Jeju, Incheon, Busan, maybe Tokyo for good measure, the rest of the world destroys North Korea, and South Korea is all nice and happy right? Right?

Pardon? Abe and the LDP represent one of the most conservative and warmongering governments Japan has seen since the days of Tojo and Hirohito.

I dont think the world wants the U.S. to use that nuclear weapon. Not only it will kill NK troops, but it will kill SK civilians also. Due to winds carrying down nuclear dusts and people caught in diseases and cancer due to poison and radiation.
