No you said War with Korea, and then spent multiple posts explaining how it would/could blossom into WWIII.

Many are thinking politics in charge would be impacted in the same way than "normal" people. Applies even more in countries with high social inequalities.

War can be an opportunity for them;
- it maintain them in charge
- it can extend their powers
- they can even make profits over it (due their extended powers)

No I didn't.

I think this deserves a thread properly entitled as war threatens to break out at any moment between the US and NK.

I never said ONLY. Don't misquote me.

As for Trump, yes he's an idiot. The US govt. in a 3 part govt. The US will not let Trump do anything so stupid like you are worrying about.
Hell, he didn't even order the Syrian strike, he passed responsibility off to his generals.

There's a lot of young ppl on here. THAT"S why I'm arguing with you and the french guy. I lived through the cold war, the real one, NO ONE needs to have to go to sleep with crap like that over their heads.

Trump is an idiot, the US govt. is NOT. That's the message that needs to get beat to death. NOT the message of... OMG WWIII is coming. Cause it's not.


/e As for NK being able to hit the US with a nuke carrying ICBM...don't hold your breath. Even IF he manages to get one to wobble over here, we would just shoot it down.

You DO remember that both the US and Russia stood each other off for 40 years or so. And that was for many multiples of nukes, not just one wobbly ass one.
Look up this: DEW line

...and remember that is old and now unclassified info.

There is absolutely no benefit to the US, by attacking NK. The ONLY reason we would do it, is if the started lobbing nukes at SK or Japan or similar.
Even Kim Jong-un understands this.

Assuming he's not an idiot, he will do nothing with nukes. Even if he is an idiot, we won't let him start nuking anyone.


Technology wise, the US is so far ahead of North Korea's military abilities, that it wouldn't even be a fight.

AND, before you mention Viet Nam and the Middle East, those were/are entirely different situations.




/e Oh, then you didn't make this topic in red/bold with that title?




From the OP...





If this keeps up, I'll have to watch the movie: Midway...again. :D

The FACT is that it COULD though. I don't know why people think it's a joke.

So you start immediately wrong by saying "the us" instead of "the politics in charge"



Like you are here to protect others, i think no one believe it anymore since decades.



And now you got super powers and can read in the head of our suprem leader...Leader of the Party, the country, and the Army...



Ofc it's a very different situation, far worse than vietnam... And not comparable with Iraq free massacre, how proud are those soldiers...
How irresponsible (or stupid) who could predict the issue with north korea, who is 100% aware of their capabilities. Certainly not me, or YOU.

Sure fact is it must be so cool to live in those american bases those days lol... B)
