Some thoughts on North Korea
« on: June 16, 2010, 09:12:26 AM »
I was wondering how people felt about the rogue nation of North Korea?I believe they get away with all their crap because Red China is their big, bad friend.This Torpedoing of a South Korean warship is going to cause major problems.North Korea has threatened war if the UN security counsel finds them guilty of any wrong doing.It would seem appropriate for the counsel to call their bluff,but knowing North Korea,they just might do what they say,and start a war.My concern is,you can't win a war on the Asian mainland,and nukes would probably get involved eventually.We lost in Viet Nam because we didn't want to step on Red China or Russia's toes.Actually this comes down to money.Don't we owe China something like 7 trillion dollars.They might think twice before helping North Korea with that much money riding on it.My other concern is that even though South Korea's armed forces are very good,the U.S. has a small amount of troops there,and it would probably be a re-run of the first Korean conflict.Comments,ideas all welcome.

I think they got a fantastic 1-2 result against Brazil, really managed to shut down Brazil's midfield :aok

I see the number four is dominating your life in the near future.

Also maybe a fourteen...hmmm, yes, a fourteen is what I see.

Was a beautiful goal too.  But I think south Korea will end up doing better.

Step 1.  S. Korea camoflauges their boats to look like those of the Chinese Navy.
Step 2.  Let China get involved or even oversee the political circus that will be unraveling into an unproductive political stalemate.
Step 3.  Let N. Korea keep torpedoing a couple more of S. Korea's boats. 
Step 4.  N. Korea accidently torpedos a Chinese warship.
Step 5.  Sit back and watch the fireworks.
Step 6.  IN

Nothing to see here, move along.   :neener:
