north korea is a huge f*ckin threat. KNOWN weapons of mass destruction and a f*ckin psycopath leader

 

that isn't a bush administration (neither of the bush administrations) decision, it is the pentagon's policy and has been in place since 1991.

anyways, back on the subject, this is what communist countries do (because they're dictatorships). when something doesn't go their way, they cover it up to no end to make it seem to the rest of the world like it did go their way. china is notorious for doing this kind of thing, the soviet union did the same thing..

 

Thank you, I was about to say that(about the coffins).

I hate ignorant people *cough*9600baud*cough* who speak about stuff they don't know anything about.

But yea. N-Korea needs to go down - well they're political system does anyway.

Unfortunatly, IMO it is only a matter of time until the U.S and NK go to war

 

And the UN sends help.

More proof that the UN is completely and utterly useless.

It can't resolve problems, and it helps out communist threatening regiems because they **** up and have a disaster.

Pfft.

 

Unlike the US, the UN is genuine in its desire to help people.

 

The US and NK will not go to war anytime soon. The US needs to determine that NK does *not* have Nuclear weapons (right now we don't have proof they have them, just threats) before we fight them.

Then, even if NK ended up NOT having Nuclear Weapons, we would still probably not go to war with them just because they are too close to South Korea. If we attacked NK, they would immediatly kill 1,000,000+ South Korean's from the Demilitarized Zone, just with artillary and rockets; if they had a nuke it'd be even worse.

Sure, in the end, North Korea would be obliterated; but we'd lose to many innocents and friendly's (counting South Korea as friendly's) just by starting the issue.

There's a better way of handling North Korea, mainly because North Korea is so isolated from the rest of the world... you ignore them, as cruel as this sounds, you ignore them and let them starve to death and let their government crumble.

They have no aid from any countries, virtually no trade with them, and we're constistantly making it harder on them to continue the little amounts they do, since it's usually weapons anyway. No one likes them, and no one has any problem with sanctioning them to death; which is exactly what's happening. This way North Korea falls, reforms on it's own, and no innocents (except those in North Korea) are killed.

That sounds brutal, but look at the alternative. War, where North Korea obliterates part of South Korea, killing millions; and the consequential American strike that destroys all or most of North Korea, killing millions more.

So yeah, we'll just sit on our hands, call their bluff; and let them starve to death.

 

Unless it's America.
And, the US gives a lot more aid to many more countries than the UN ever gives. So, don't say the US isn't genuine in helping people. We do it a TON more than any other group of countries (like the UN).

 

US aid has strings attached. UN aid does not.

 

Some US aid has strings attached, sure. A lot of it doesnt.

One example, Africa. We give BILLIONS a year in aid and help to Africa, and we don't have strings attached. It's simply to help stop the spread of AIDS in Africa.

Oh, and who do you think primarily funds the UN and performs duties the UN regulates as necessary? The US provides over 80% of all funding, and military hardware, for the UN.

 

Wrong.

If we do not agree with your government, you don't get US aid.

If you do not open up your boarders to free trade with us, you don't get US aid.
