Lets consider north korea as the new topic. Wth are their intentions with those missiles anyways? Do you think they are doing these tests for reasons of being precautious since there has been a lot of hostility between nations recently? I would like some type of educated talk about this since I really want to know about others opinions.
"I really don't want this to be looked over so I might move this to another thread or maybe someone else could. Moderator I am hinting lol." Moved. |

They did fire one long-ranged Taepodong that sources thought was capable of hitting the western part of the United States. But failed immediatly after it was launched.
Japan stated they would consider this an act of war about a week ago. Their government is pretty upset at the moment. |

North Korean is a communist nation and by definition communist nations hate, or are mildly hostile to, America. It really isn't that much deeper. They'll continue with psychological warfare, and if US troops are tied up in too many places, they might succeed in an attack. Something has to be done about them and nothing will. Plus the US has troops stationed in South Korea to impede a North Korean invasion attempt so that is another reason why they are pissed off.

Apparently we have 500,000 troops in the middle east, and only 30,000 free for anything else.

You ask questions, I got answers. Korea is testing long range missles, but with that in mind, they were testing our missle defense systems. They mentioned that if we were to intercept one missle, we would enter a nuclear war. There are already a load of troops on stand-by in Korea just incase something breaks out. Both Korea, and America is the only 2 countries in the world with weapons that would, otherwise, destroy the world. If something breaks out, this planet will soon be destroyed.

N Korea is just pushing some buttons. Kim Jong Il is no retard... he won't attack the united states or south korea or japan as he knows that that would dick him over royally and he would risk his regime being toppled. He cares more about his regime surviving than anything else. Also, he is a megalomaniac who likes attention, hence missile tests.
The only way N Korea attacks is if they are attacked first or Kim Jong Il is on his deathbed and doesn't give a **** anymore. |

This test of his was very wise. He controls with fear, and I believe that this was more of a diversion than anything else. It was intended to cover for more things to come. I believe Kim Jong-Il scuttled the Taepodong 2 early after launch on purpose to spark American over-confidence.
A list of nations capable of, or containing, nuclear warheads. As you can see, there are a hell of a lotta them. Code:
United States: 5,735 active warheads
9,960 total
Russia: 5,830 active warheads
16,000 total
United Kingdom: <200 active warheads
<200 total
France: 350 active warheads
350 total
China: 130 active warheads
130 total
India: 75 active warheads
115 total
Pakistan: 65 active warheads
90 total
North Korea: 0 active warheads
7 total (possibility)

Those numbers don't look too farfetched, with SALT and the Nuclear Proliferation treaty and the such.
