Large Explosion, Mushroom Cloud in North Korea!

[Tommy Duncan]

Look, it's not like North Korea was some kind of benign state that just suddenly became a threat because we started treating it poorly.

It's why the Pueblo still sits in a NKorean harbor.

What does that change?

What's going to work?

[Tommy Duncan]

Well for starters you realize that this is not just another country with nukes. You also realize that hey perhaps that missle defense initiative does have some merit.

What do you do when NKorea continues its weapons program despite repeated diplomatic engagement and concessions? Does that not serve as an incentive for greater belligerence?

I said that from the beginning.

You also realize that hey perhaps that missle defense initiative does have some merit.

Doesn't if the crisis comes before anything such system is built.

What do you do when NKorea continues its weapons program despite repeated diplomatic engagement and concessions?

The continuance looks like a fait accompli at this point. It's getting to the point where the bribes will be simply not to use the weapons.

[Tommy Duncan]

Any point you would like to make besides that you like to argue and argue and....?

[MannyIsGod]

i've always been all for missle defense, i don't understand the arguement there.

i argue that north korea is currently a threat in a large part due to american actions and policy.

as far as the american military in korea, us officials have publicly stated what we are not leaving even if a reunification were to occour. soooooo, i don't think north korea is the entire reason we are there.

[ChumpDumper]

My points are many and valid.

I can tell you're getting frustrated, cupcake, but I'm just asking questions. Don't feel bad that you don't have all the answers. Nobody does.
