You Know What Would Be Fucked Up...

[Lee]

If whilst all of our troops are in Afghanistan and Iraq, North Korea sent a nuke our way, we'd be royally fucked and worst of all, its something that we would have all seen coming too

Regards,

Lee

yeah right ... and why would they send a nuke? :crazy:

[DEVELISH]

They didn't actually sent a nuke your way but rather did nuclear testing with a tiny bomb - I heared estimations South Korea did saying something about the destruction power of 550 Tons of TNT.
That should give quite a nice firework, ey?

For comparison the firework over Hiroshima had roughly 15.000 tons and Nagasaki 21.000 tons worth of TNT.

North Korea now is an unwanted member of the illustrious party of countries owning nuclear weapons.
Never the less this development is rather disturbing due to the fact of the government in power in North Korea.

It is interesting to see how the nations of this world handle this situation...

Well man, if they did sent a nuke our way we would not really need any ground troops at all. A few of those nuke submarines that we paid so much for would wipe that country off the map. Hell I am not sure it would be safe to move troops in for the next 1000 years after that. You do know we have some really BIG nukes and that just one missile can carry like 10 war heads each would be more that 20X as big as anything they could make. Seriously maybe 5-10 missiles like this could turn that whole country into nothing but a radioactive whole in the ground.

I really do not see that happening, they know more about our capabilities than I do I am sure so not really much they can do but bolster. Hell their is allot of talk that what they blew up was not even a nuke at all, we will have to wait to see. Even if they have a few nukes no way they a small enough to fit on a missile anyway.

The only people I really worry about getting nukes are these religious nuts that think they will get some reward in heaven if they die in battle. No sane person or country would ever launch a nuke at us first, that would most that just kill them, but their county, culture and in some case about their whole race. Nukes are not what they where 60 years ago trust me, we do not just have nukes to take out city’s but ones to take out states or even small countries. :rip:

yup - the only "type with nukes" that I worry about are the Wako type wackos (religious) that want or have one.
Those with plenty of nukes are merely flexin'.

[longboardjim]

war is inevitable , our weapons continue to gain in strength and numbers and i'm really not sure there will be a "safe-place" and/or what kind of a world would be left to live in after a mass nuclear holocaust.

as Bill Clinton said, "that country's best day would be the day before they dropped the bomb."

LOL

[jIgG]

I think NK is more likely to shoot at Japan than the US if their past rocket testing was any indication

[XXXWriterDude]

Gee, thanx for the pleasant thought, Lee.

South Korea's Yonhap news agency, in a dispatch carried by The Associated Press, quoted an unidentified North Korean official as saying, "We hope the situation will be resolved before an unfortunate incident of us firing a nuclear missile comes."

"That depends on how the U.S. will act," the official said.

that is from CNN.com

Personally I think China will now do something about all this, they for sure do not want us to give Japan nukes (that we will end up having to do) so my guess is that they will put a stop to all this before to long.

I don't mean to offend anyone here, but honestly, at this point, I'm feeling like the world could us a good extermination right now of a lot of types. The religious do this every few hundred years. They get all in arms and holier then thow, and the rest of humanity pays the price, then the surviving zealots feel God is on their side and wants them to continue, that's why they lived. :maxpower:

I say bunker down, let them all kill eachother, then when it's all over, exterminate the remaining judgemental religious bastards and have a clean society of people who believe in the power and spirituality of the universe, love, and acceptance.

Post WW II Treaties do not allow nuclear weapons on Japanese soil or in Japanese waters; not even US nuclear warships are welcome there.

However, I think China is concerned that a North Korea isolated from the rest of the world would result in a North Korea as a source of jobless impoverished refugees fleeing to China to survive, and a North Korea that has no means of supporting the basic needs of its people. As North Korea's closest neighbor, China would shoulder the burden of much of the civilian chaos that would result from UN isolation.

The problem is not that they may strike the usa with a missile, like max points out, the usa has a much bigger arsenal and has shown a willingness to use it. The thing i worry about is if they decide to pass this crap onto the usa's other enemies. The nuke in a briefcase has to be a massive worry for the States and its friends.

This has also set global nuclear decomissioning way back. How can anyone now seriously consider getting rid of our nuclear weapons? I hate nuclear weapons but im now certain the UK government will build more (its on the agenda to renew Trident this year), sadly i now think the UK would be idiots not too.

All the chinese need to do with their slave child labor is build a wall seperating them from North Korea. They've done it before, and this one is much much smaller!

I'm sick of these nobody dictator countries fucking with the world. North Korea has 10 million LESS people then the population of just California.

The way the world reacts with them is like giving candy to a bad child to shut them up, it's rediculous. Bribe them to keep them quiet, take away their toys to keep them quiet, it's rediculous. I think it's time they get a bad spanking to teach them a lesson, and I think China needs to do it.

It's not Americas place to take care of this problem. North Korea border China and South Korea, they need to clean the shit out of their backyard, nobody else.
