n. korea threat to nuke U.S.

[verredart]

IF the N. Koreans were stupid enough to pull something nuclear against the US or an ally the proper response would be to tell China to either fix it, permanently. OR evacuate the border with Korea because Pyongyang = glassy lake

Really... That's a bit tasteless at best.

Ya think?

Color blind???

 

[Mos Eisley]

Color blind???

What are you talking about? (If you even know, that is)

 

[mbills2223]

Color blind???

Purple font isn't really a valid excuse to say some things. You joke about doing something foolish or something ironic. Nuclear annihilation of America isn't really funny...

Ah yes, the magical purple text. It makes suggesting genocide of your fellow citizens A-OK!

 

[T.Lex]

(Technically, a nuke over 1 city wouldn't be genocide, I don't think. Just an attack.)

In humor, there are no sacred cows, just jokes that aren't funny to some people.

Examples - Springtime for Hitler, Blazing Saddles, etc.

Maybe we should let the South defend their own country or pay us protection money

Yes, let's hope they kill innocents in the South so that we can get further entangled in more foreign war.

That's an absolutely terrible idea.

The reason we are there is because Korea was a Japanese "Protectorate", which is the nice way of saying invaded and occupied. At the end of WWII, the US and the Soviets were tasked with occupation and re-establishment of the nation of Korea. The Soviets had there own plan, and would not follow the original agreement. Learn some history before criticizing foreign policy that is morally right, since there would be no free nation of South Korea if it was not for that policy. All that would be on that peninsula would be a bigger communist nation spouting the same crap.

so basically, Il-Sung asked Rodman to get Obama to call him.

Obama said no.

Il-Sung now threatens to Nuke DC.

Real mature, guys.

Ok but WWII has been over for more than 60 years, plenty of time has passed that the South can provide their own protection

Saw that...Does Kim Jong-un plan to hand deliver it, because if not they're gonna have a hard time.

Convince an ally to let them pack a few in trans-ocean shipping containers... only one needs to get through.

A few conventional explosive ICBMs in the center of Pyongyang would clear things up right quick.

 

[Cerberus]

Actually, I haven't seen anyone suggest genocide. Might want to learn your terms instead of pointing self-rightious fingers at others. Also, might want to develope a very thick skin in the GP forum, it gets real messy here most times.

John Kerry would send a very nasty letter....

I'm sure China wouldn't be too nervous about ICBMs launched towards them. You do know where North Korea and China are, right?
Sure we could tell them they're conventional, and not aimed at them. And I'm sure they would TOTALLY trust us.

 

[JB357Mag]

If N Korea set off a Nuke anywhere outside its boarders, the
Military responce would be complete and total devestation.

And we wouldnt even need to use our nukes.

[Hoosier45]

Didn't the Red Dawn remake come out on DVD this week? Maybe that sent North Korea over the edge?

 

[armedindy]

I'm so ronery. So ronery.

I'm the smartest, most crever, most physicry frit. But nobody erse seems to rearize it. When I change the world, maybe they'rr take me seriousryyyyyyyy!

And with bho, SPENDING so MUCH money, on the MILITARY ?????

 

[cobber]

Kim Jong-Un found a muscle. He's flexing it.

Or maybe he's vying for Hugo Chavez' recently-vacated place at the head of looney anti-Americans?

Because we have oh so much reason to launch a preemptive strike against one of our largest and most valuable trading partners, but I see the point. I'm sure any nukes launched by North Korea will be shot down in short order, but then what? If we're so afraid of China I guess there goes the possibility of a retaliatory strike. I doubt anything happens. This isn't the first time the slimy things in charge of NK have threatened to use the bomb.
