N.Korea Nukes

By having to resort to using nuclear threats to improve their position in the world only shows their desperation and how little they have. I mean c'mon, their citizens are killing each other and eating each other due to lack of food, as an example.

P.S. Heh, I put M.A.D.D., darn that Mothers Against Drunk Driving logo getting stuck in my head.

I would like to knock the propoganda out of your head. As far as brain washing goes your the one affected by the cold war xenophobia of the Ussr, and if he's a recent immegrant he will be affected by the shit pool kuchma left in the press in ukrain, you must remember that ukrains former president was a close friend of yelsin, and both enjoyed washing news reports.

And its all based on opinion because I will remain a supporter of communism when we'r done as you will a supporter of capitolism .. thats all there is to it.

And please dont wash me in Ignorance like you always do "your russian arent you?"

And I will remain a supporter of a state guided capitalistic economy in the favour of its' citizens who have state guaranteed liberal rights.

 

Getting a hold of nukes makes good sense for any country out there, it guarantees almost as much safety as the US's $450 billion conventional army at a fraction of the cost. Nukes, as long as they don't get into the hands of terrorists or radicals, actually keep the peace better than a conventional army would. No sane government would launch an attack against a country that has access to nukes, because the fallout of a nuclear conflict would inflict more damage on the world than any conventional army ever could.

If all the nukes are held by sane governments.

 

Is that true? If conditions are really that bad then I think it will not be long before Kim's government implodes - to me what NK is going through now seems like a re-enactment of the Cold War on a smaller scale, with mismanaged government spending leading ultimately to economic collapse. And for all those who still believe in leninism, the spectacular failure of the Soviet-era GOSPLAN, the kolkhovs, and other state-controlled apparatus should be convincing enough that ultimately, communism doesn't work.

 

problem is no one would ever use their nukes.. politicians are scared of them.

 

In one of his books Douglas Adams told that the most dangerous thing in existance is not weapons of terrible destruction, but people insane enough to use them.
NK seems to be pretty radical.

 

I agree. but still doubt they would use them

 

Seems kind of stupid to use your faulty brain to accuse people of faulty brains. In this case, I don't think it takes one to know one. You just... are one.

I don't think he's the brightest man who ever lived, but he's obviously brighter than you.

 

wesmorris, your ad hominems no matter how well placed don't contribute to the quality and topic of this discussion or forum.

 

I think they would, if the gov. of NK sees their day of doom. They know that noone will pity them. So to save their honour and not stand in war trials (funny it's mostly the loosers who get war tried) I think it's pretty possible they will use their nuclear arsenal (if any) to not give an inch of NK to the hated (by them) USA.
It's the end of history for them in either case. As someone said here previously: people who have nothing have nothing to lose. The gov. will have nothing to lose if the USA attacks them or the country finally falls in hell from famine, etc.

Don't you think so? I'm interested in hearing your view.

 

Lets do it. Put up or shut up.

 

I dont think physical violence works over the net.. we need to wait till MSN 9
