Thoughts on NK?

Alright, so since I was stuck in TwentyNine Palms, California for the month of June and didn't have any source to news, all this shit I'm reading about North Korea, the Sea-Based radar system in Hawaii, this ship that the U.N. has been following, etc. is getting pretty serious. Just wanna see what you guys think... I know most will be like, more or less, "who cares?" or "we should nuke them!" or something of that sort. I'm just curious 'cause this "Oh I'm the big macho man" thing that North Korea is playing could very well lead into our deployment being Korea. Think that NK will try and shoot missiles at Hawaii? Or any Allied Nation for that matter?

And is there anything else happening in the world that I might be unaware of? lol... I'm pretty shocked, even though NK is kinda old news. But this sea-based radar thing is fairly new.

Lets see they wiped their collective ass with the Armistice agreement from the korean war that put a hold on all hostile activities. Once they did this and their threats they deserve whatever comes to them. I am confident if China cannot reel them in China will let the US us china as the back door entry into N. Korea.

I'm kind of worried about it for a few reason. First of all, anything that has to do with nuclear threats is pretty dangerous. If one goes off, there's no telling how many others might as well. And if the US has to get involved militarily, there is no telling if China (NK's biggest ally) will fund them (again) or help with soldiers, weapons etc. Also, China has nukes. I'm worried for South Korea in the event of them shooting off a nuke as well as Japan ( since most Koreans dispise the Japanese still since their occupations. They might attack them.) Idk, I really hope that if NK continues to be aggressive, China will be supportive of disarming them of nukes so this does NOT turn into another World War.

In a sarcastic manner, i think we should teach them what nuclear power really is...

As much as I hate to say it, if they are ever successful at attacking us with any of their weapons on "our" soil (you know the 50 states) there wouldn't be a single American that would not hesitate to wipe them off the face of the planet. Until then I think we just need to put up with their stupid shit.

Well, don't worry too much. It will only turn out to be empty threats and if not it still wont get past the Cuban Crisis. It would be stupid of China to fund an enemy of ours as they have a ton of money invested in America; and if they are an enemy why would we pay them back? Plus without our investment in China tons of industry and countless other sectors of the Chinese economic machine will crumble.

Minus the big mess China would create by backing NK, it would be a win win situation for the US. All that cash that would have went to loan payments would fund the war and pay off a lot of other things in this country.

That ship you are reading about is just a hot button for NK to push their agenda and see how far Obama and the Western Powers are willing to go.

God dammit I hope we don't get sent to Korea. I've been there (Osan AFB and Yongsan AFB) for nearly 6 years total... and the winters are not friendly at all.

Now I really wish I would've studied my Korean language classes while I was in school there. 'Terps get paid about $250 extra a month (Marine 'terps)

oh well... I can read it at least! Maybe I'll get $125/month (^^,)

Not going to happen when mankind is involved. Mankind is by nature "evil" and selfish. Why should I worry about someone else when I have a hard enough time looking out for number #1. This ultimately why world peace will fail. You need to make man a mindless emotionless race for world peace to exist and at that cost mankind is no longer a viable species.
