brush up on your history about the korean war.

north korea would not attack china considering they helped to push back the american advance in to NK when the americans were helping the SK's. NK wouldn't be here today if the chinese didn't decide to help out. communism vs capitalism. the russians and the chinese couldn't allow a capitalist state on its borders.

times change, look at American history, 20-30 years ago we gave sadam weapons to use against Iran and for the last 15 years we have said he can't have them. and 10 years before that we were buddies with Iran.

But if you want a look of something that is almost exactly the smae listen to this:
Durring the cold war the US supported a small Rebel group in southern USSR in what is now called Afganastan that little rebel group was the talablan, and along with supporting him we also were supporting Osama Bin Ladin. And there are video recordings of Osama Prasing the US for what it was doing to help out, but then as time goes on the two countries go seperate ways and end up disagreing with eachother. And all of those sercumstances in less time then the 50+ years its been since the unnoficial end of the Korean War. And at the end of WWII the US and great birtain went from being allies with the USSR to hated enemies in about 5 years. The main thing is these alliances are formed not really because the two countries like eachother but that they are just against the same enemy.

this is a problem with alot of pro bush supporters. They have trouble believing that a country that claims to have nukes, and that there is evidence showing that they have nukes, actualy has nukes. But then becuse dubua says Iraq has weapons of mas distruction and that we need to go fight them now(without any real evidence) they believe that Iraq has WMDs.

See all this confirming shit now... "They haven't confirmed it yet!" North Korea claims to have tested it under ground (which is how all nuclier weapons are tested now) and there was a confirmed earthquake of significant megnitude to suggest that this could have happened. But it has not been 100% confirmed. Which I agree that it has not. But honestly when was anything about Iraq having WMD's confirmed?

Osama was not affiliated with the Taliban. The Taliban was formed after Russian retreat. Osama's group was MK. Short for a very long name I wouldn't spell right if I tried to.

The talliban was the group that we supported in their fight agains the soviets. And Osama was in it. Not high up but he was a member of the taliban when it was fighting against the Soviets.

No, Bin Laden's group (Maktab al-Khadamat) provided financial suppourt to the Taliban. You're so wron it's not even funny. He was not in the Taliban, he was a leader of his own orginization. The Taliban was formed around 1994, when all of the orginzations fighting the Russians came together and formed the Taliban. The soviets left in 1989, the Taliban was formed in 1994. So as you see, it's impossible we funded the Taliban. We funded small Islamic groups you've never heard of. We also probably funded the MAK, which was the major factor in the Afghan Civil War and eventually led to being Al Qaeda.

i guess its kinda messed that countries are still trying to develop a form of weapon that has only been used twice in any conflict so far. sure there is always the immenent threat and maybe thats the point. i'm just pissed that the u.s. feels it has the need to control who gets to develop weapon technology and who doesn't. does anyone else think that "weapons of mass destruction" is one of the bigger hypocracies demonstrated in the last number of years? one day the s***'s going to hit the fan and we're all all going to be screwed.

america supported the afghans because they didn't want that country to fall to communism. lets just say it was there way of getting back at the russians for helping the vietnamese.


china still wants to keep a buffer between democratic south korea and themselves. furthermore china has many assets in NK. investment and trade between these two countries average about 2 billion dollars per year. china is becoming a 'stakeholder' in the NK economy. and why do you think china always veto's further NK sanctions.

Well right now China is backing the UN messures to control North Korea's nuclier program. Does not sound like they are supporting them like allies right now. And I am also sure that China likes being the asian super power right now. And they do not want North Korea up there,  where they could be a threat to china. No one wants North Korea to have nuclier weapons becuase their leader is fucking crazy he could decide at any moment that China was actualy secretly ploting to  assasinate him or something due to there trade with the US, The guy is fucking crazy and that is why China is not going to back a North Korea with Nuclier powers.

Im sorry to do this but I am going to have to.

You dont ever have a clue what you are talking about. You just spew what comes to your mind as it wanders in. You base none of your opinion on fact and nothing you say is based on rational debate. You can rectify this by getting off your computer stop watching fox news and read some books. If you are intrested I can suggest a whole library of books that will help you better understand how foolish you are acting. Now I know this is going to spark a come back from in which you will probably quote Bill Orilley or a Bush speach but you have to stop being so angry and actually sit down and take a look at yourself.

misctach Your neo con nazi philosphy is totally unfounded. The world does not need war in any way to help control population. Did you just make that up seriously? Ok here is why

1) Alot more poeple die from dissease car accident and cancer world wide than in war

2) War kills the young would be leaders of the world not the old "people" for lack of a better word.

3) World popilation will eventyally reach its plateau. Look at industralized nations like Germany and Japan they are actually exprencing a population decrease. So if you want to save the world from over poputaion you can do two things. Start thinking of ways to help the third world or dont pro create both would be a very smart decision.

ITS ALL ABOUT OIL for our president. He is little more than Chenys puppet. If you want I will go ahead and type op couple of pages and post them on here to validate my point but I dont really feel like it because after all this is a skiing website and not a political forum. The reason why Korea has Nukes is because of the US and mostly bush not tracking the neculear scientists that left pakistan the way Clinton did. North Korea is a threat just like every other hornets nets that Darth Bush has shoved his stick into. We are in trouble and we are at war and if you want to save America in 2008 vote for a democrat... Im super ceral.

Are you FuckThePolice's brother? I don't think I can tell who's the bigger retard.

Look at my post on Bin Laden and the MAK. If I don't know what I'm talking about, please point out why I would LOVE for you to prove me wrong on something.

Awww that's so cute. Maybe you and FuckThePolice should go on a date. You guys both throw around irrelevant insults with no meaning other than to try and make me look like something I'm not. Brilliant!

You're taking this way out of context and making it seem like I want a war. I don't want one, but we need a major population decrease fast....any suggestions other than plague, war, or natural disaster?

1. Right, when you add in the deaths from war, that's more deaths.

2. Right, which is the fastest way to reduce population.

3. Exactly, when countries do develop and are using as many resources as we are, we are going to see a very big shortage on a lot of everyday goods. Esepcially essential goods such as clean water and food. The onl way to "help" third world countries is to develop them. Right now they are living in agricultural based economies, and if they want to live "easier" they need help industrilializing. Once they do industrialize, you are going to see a lot of problems. If everyone lived the way people live in western Europe, America, Canada, and Australia, this earth would collapse to the round. There just aren't enough resources to make everyone happy right now. This is why the population needs to reduce.

Where the fuck did that come from? A little random? If this post represents something you are going to post 2 pages on, don't ever bother doing it. I would probably shoot myself halfway through from the incoherent irrelevant rambling coming from what you call your "brain".

We aren't at war. I think it's awesome that you are so much like hardcore republicans and democrats and vote for a person solely based on their political party. That just makes you oh so cool and sooo open-minded (sarcasm to the max).

For the record, just to make you look like even more of a dumbass, I'm a democrat.

i say some random people just go over there and assasanate whoever is in charge over there... just cause you get rid of that person there is a chance that no one will attack anyone if theres no one in charge to attack anywhere... to be honest tho, if like the navey seals go in there and destroy what they can and make sure that they cant use any of their nuclear shit then no one should worry about it

agreed. nuclear poop is like a nuclear warhead, but 100000x more dangerous. it must be stashed in the high security vault-0-nuclearpoop, as nuclear rocket scientist david jamber has stated above.

yes. the vault-o-nuclear poop is quite empty. the nuclear poop goblin needs to fill the capacity. a vault-o-pee has been filled by the pee pee gremlin when he poached iraq's black pee. for there is an empty vault. poop must be shed.

My roommate was just talking about what to do with North Korea and Iran. His idea-

Through clandestine operations set off small nukes in the facilities they are using to produce nuclear weapons and say it was an accident.

Not infallible, but it does eliminate many problems.

After managing to light off a "monstrous" 0.5kt "weapon" the North Koreans have become the FIRST COUNTRY TO UNSUCCESSFULLY TEST A NUCLEAR DEVICE.

I REPEAT: EVERY COUNTRY THAT HAS EVER ATTEMPTED TO TEST A NUCLEAR DEVICE SUCCEEDED ON THEIR FIRST TRY... until NOW!

haha fuckin idiots, even the smallest nuclear devices will yield 2-10kt, unless you are TRYING (very hard mind you) to scale down a blast. However, due to the nature of critical mass and uranium it is TOUGH to light off anything under 10kt.

NK - 0.5kt
Hiroshima - 19kt
Biggest American Test - 20,000kt (or 20Mt)
Biggest Soviet Test - 50,000kt (50Mt, scaled down from 100 for obvious reasons).

Welcome to 1944 NK... oh wait no... our first test was a successful 15kt. Better luck next time you stupid poor jealous fuckups.

look at the middle east that whole area is so fucked.  Japan and such has a booming economy and no suicide bombers and constant chaos, besides North Korea with all the torture rumors and such.
-though falafels are good sushi beats that shit, and plus you can ski in Japan, and play DDR.  You can make a sand castle and ski on a tiny mtn in Lebaon in the midddle east. just kidding about this paragraph

If North Korea ever attacked Japan, they would get wasted. If China stepped in, both would be in deep trouble. We back Japan to the death. They are very good friends and very valuable trade partners.

because we needed them in WWII.

The goal is to not use nukes. MAD is a very good thing. Unfortunately, the principle behind MAD requires that the people with the nukes aren't madmen. And Kim Jong Il...well...he's not suicidal, but what's gonna stop him from selling nukes to Joe Terrorist?

Anyway who said we wernt at war? Because if were not then what all those people dieing for?

And where is that 600 billion a year going? Sounds like war to me. A war on "Terror" what a fucking joke more like OPECs adgenda to control world oil markets due to Saudi influence through puppet Bush and World terrorist Cheney. Go Hugo Chavez keep sticking it to the man!!!

Congress hasn't sent out a declartion of war, so technically we aren't at war.

Again, you avoided my points and made yourself look like even more of an idiot. Good job.
