Let's Talk About North Korea

[NerfHerder]

I'm almost giddy about North Korea being #9 in the nuclear club.

How does it make you feel, fellow patriots?

I feel threatened, oh so threatened, I feel threatened and frightened and like I should be stockpiling three to five days worth of water and canned goods.

i don't think it was an a-bomb anyway.

i seems more likely that they just threw 500 tons of TNT in a hole to try and force the hand of the major western countries.
they know that we don't have the ground forces to stage an invasion, and most of their critical people are deep underground.
its obvious that the regime doesn't care about their citizens, so a few airstrikes won't damage the government in a significant way.

[NerfHerder]

Yes but other countries have plenty of forces they could send in.

Just because America has been involved in pretty much every conflict recently doesn't mean we have to be the predominant force in a new one.

Also, we'd never actually invade North Korea. Bush isn't using the proper rhetoric to gear up for an attack.

I would guess that North Korea sees having nukes is the only option besides invading the south. South Korea's GDP per capita is 12 times higher. Either the North slowly crumbles and collapses in on itself, or...

they've been working on a nuclear bomb since the early 70s. it could be the real thing. but i don't give a fuck.

I think N Korea just figured out that reverse psychology works on Bush. This is thier way of getting him to leave them alone. Look what NOT having nukes got Iraq.
