"...The U.S. will not accept North Korea as a nuclear state...."

I wonder if this keeps the heat of the Iranians for the time being. Maybe we should park our carriers near the Korean coast for a while.

Fake planned diversion to allow time for iran to finish their nukes

we have ships over there already too, and others on the way.. again, fake planned diversion.

By far the smartest policy we could undertake would be to right now use every means we have at our disposal to assassinate Kim Jung Un and the other top civilian and military leaders.
But we are prohibited from doing that by law (a very stupid law which should be rescinded).
So the second best action we could take is to let the head of that snake know in no uncertain terms that if it makes an aggressive move toward South Korea that it will result in annihilation of the North Korean regime.
But we won't do that either. Instead, we'll wait until he attacks South Korea and then be fully involved in yet another ground war. And tens of thousands of North and South Korean peons will die before it's over. And likely many American peons will die too. And Kim Jung Dung and his cohorts will likely flee the country with a lot of loot and live in exile and in the lap of luxury somewhere else.

I have an idea.

we can first declare that we don't recognize kim un as the leader of any nation. We will declare that since he has called off the truce that a North Korea really doesn't exist. And once we declare that we can assonate him because we can assonate average people. cheers

Sure works for me. And I won't even criticize you for spelling it assonate. lol

Perhaps we should just open a dialogue w them in order to bridge the gap. This is likely just our inability to compromise.

and admit universal blame. king

Sounds like a job-creation stimulus and more cheap labor to me.

Job credits for returning American jobs....a hot war impacting Korea, Japan, and China.......and investors are going to flock to America.......President Obama has his stimulus and job creation bill........cruise missles........

The Unger is trying to show he has the cahones his old man had. I don't think S Korea is interested in playing his game and it is a dangerous game that he is now engaged in at this time. N Korea doesn't have the ability to sustain anything worthwhile beyond a couple of weeks at best and only if he can FEED that army his dad created. Their artillery capabilities (can wipe out Souel quite rapidly) are their biggest asset and their fleet of aircraft, while having big numbers, is not all made up of the latest fighters (4th + gen) to keep up with S Korea or the United States. As a matter of fact their aircraft age and numbers (old fighters) along with their concept of how they lack autonomy with aircraft control (not trusting pilots) is their downfall. The Unger is playing a game he cannot win.

ZVug is quite happy though, he has been asking for this a long time.

No sane person would be asking for this. We could have real loss of civilian life in a conflict. The Koreans have no love loss for the Japanese, and their missiles may not inflict damage on the US, but a storage container in Portland will do the trick. Blow up one in the desert and give the United States 10 days to stop any attacks or one of our major cities goes boom. What we perceive is short comings is not my experience with Koreans. They are tough, smart, and tenacious. If we think they are fools, we will get in a ton of hurt quickly.

Hell freezes over. Oats is spot on. I spent a year in Korea many years ago. The Japanese robbed and raped the hell out of Korea. Many of the victims of Hiroshima were Koreans, brought there as near slaves. They have not forgotten. If history is any lesson I would not F with them. They are some tough folks and there is a lot of them.....

An army runs on it's belly. When you have nothing to eat, you won't fight. The Unger has too many mouths to feed. I've spent time in Korea myself with the ROK Marines. Un's army won't fight. They especially won't fight when they are faced with annihilation. China isn't running to the rescue this time.

I am glad that PaceDog can read my mind... Busted again; shucks!

If war starts, North Korea loses quickly, but the conflict will be bloody. Hopefully, TPTB have figured out where Kim stores his few crude nuclear warheads, and targets those rapidly.

Interesting Maybe true. I used to read all the interrogation reports on the infiltrators that they caught. Damn guys could cross country with a small package of Rice flour and a little water. It made for some interesting but sometimes gruesome reading. It seems they all got shot wile "Trying to escape'. I was still taken back at their ability to infiltrate with almost nothing. But that was a long time ago. Of course you never read about the DMZ issues of 66/69.

The part I love the best is that photo op shown on the news the other day which had Kim Jun Dung and his generals in front of a table which had "the plans for the invasion of the american mainland" on it.
He's an obsessed movie buff and I'll bet you money he got that bullshit notion from watching the movie "Red Dawn". Especially since there's a remake of the movie out now. lol

By the way, now that his "good friend" Dung is talking about invading the american mainland, I wonder where has that basketball player with the ring in his nose gone to? He don't seem to be bragging about the friendship anymore. lol

North Korea is like the drunk guy that lost a quarter in the Juke box and goes to this truck to get a crowbar to get his money back. Odds are, nothing good will happen.

Nothing good will happen. Americans have a false sense of security.

I never had that happen with a jukebox. But I did have it happen with a pinball machine I had in Bell's Restaurant downtown. Turned out it was one of the guys who worked in the kitchen who robbed me.
The way they come from the manufacturer, all those coin-operated machines (jukeboxes and amusement machines both) were very easy to break into. They all had a cash door with a chincy little cabinet lock on it. All anyone had to do is pry that door open with a flat blade screwdriver. Thieves would work in pairs. One would stand in front of the other to block his view from the location employee while the other one pries the cash door open.
So us route operators started putting hasps over the cash doors with carriage bolts and padlocks to secure them.
But that didn't always work in our favor.
One time I got a call that one of the video arcade machines I had in Fran's Laundromat on Jackson St was "down". When I pulled in the parking lot I saw part of it lying on the ground. And then more parts of it strewn all over the place inside and outside the laundry.
Since the thief couldn't open the cash door because of that hasp, he took a sledge hammer and literally bashed the whole machine to pieces.
So after that I decided to stop using the hasps and just let them pry the cash doors open. lol

After I wrote it I knew "Juke box" was a bad choice. Never saw a Juke box that had been robbed but I have seen a few Pin Ball Machines that had robbed or vandalized. Not many, because they made money for the owners and it would have been a good way to get your ass kicked if you were caught. Beside most people thought they were owned by the "Baylock" guys. And NOBODY wanted to mess with them. Maybe we should do a Bar/juke box/pin ball thread [b]

I remember one route operator who got sick and tired of the cash doors being opened. So he installed a wire grid right behind the cash door and connected it to 110 volts. lol
Of course that was a long time ago. Before the tort lawyers started multiplying. lol

Geez, where have we heard rhetoric like that before?


VICE PRES. DICK CHENEY: My belief is we will, in fact, be greeted as liberators.

DEF. SEC. DONALD RUMSFELD: Five days or five weeks or five months, but it certainly isn't going to last any longer than that.
