[QUOTE=JaegerMonster;22219851]Yeah, no. I'd rather not be on the receiving end of the inevitable counter battery of nukes when NK is attacked thanks. I'd rather risk a head on fight for 10 years and crush their inferior military than play around with nuclear warheads.[/QUOTE] What makes you think they won't launch nukes if we crush them with tanks and infantry? If they're being beaten, they'll fire what they've got. A heavy nuclear strike should take out their missiles; they don't have the armor or the stealth to keep them safe.

No war will happen unless there is profit to be had for companies in the united states.
It seems we're all assuming that South Korea is telling the truth about who sunk the warship. How do we know this for sure? Has there been an independent investigation or are we just taking their word for it?
Well, I've heard from a few people that this is normal and North Korea does this all the time, but CNN and other news sources seem to be talking about it a lot. I really hope something happens. I hate the idea of a war, but I hate North Korean fascism even more, and I don't like people to be brainwashed, and NK won't listen to logic
[QUOTE=notxmania;22220127]No war will happen unless there is profit to be had for companies in the united states.[/QUOTE] ITP: A general brainwashed student of the media ,and doesn't understand the Korean War is in cease-fire ,and presently is still a war. RP: Yeah... You really need to get your facts straight chief.

Has there been an independent investigation or are we just taking their word for it?[/QUOTE] There was a team of investigators from several nations put together.
I'm putting all my money on North Korea, I bet they'll suddenly unveil a giant army of jet-pack ninjas with acid lasers.

Has there been an independent investigation or are we just taking their word for it?[/QUOTE] Think of it like this. The second North Korea declares, they can launch hundreds of medium range missiles killing hundreds of thousands of South Koreans. That, along with the potential for China aiding North Korea like they did before. Plus, why would South Korea want North Korea? The land? The money? They have nothing of value, South Korea would just be assuming the massive poverty and the problems with it.
I don't quite think you quite understand the idea of Reunification.

Okay, let's get on with the big bets okay? 1 trillion Zimbabwe dollars for next Monday ! [img]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3e/Zimbabwe_%24100_trillion_2009_Obverse.jpg[/img]

South Korea, U.S., U.K., Sweden, Australia and Canada were all involved. Not exactly impartial, but not too heavily biased.

They're sick of this bullshit and I'd bet more than willing to die to forge their country wholly once and for all.
Maybe they've been hiding these in their mountains the whole time. :ohdear: [IMG]http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/1225/alienhunter2.jpg[/IMG]
Korea: The longest war yet.
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;22223329]Korea: The longest war yet.[/QUOTE] What about the Hundred Years War?
[QUOTE=radioactive;22223341]What about the Hundred Years War?[/QUOTE] Correction, longest modern war.
Nothing will happen.
[QUOTE=PeanutTHENINJA;22223375]Correction, longest modern war.[/QUOTE] What about the constant war between religion and Science?
[QUOTE=radioactive;22223394]What about the constant war between religion and Science?[/QUOTE] That is more of a philosophical war rather than a physical one. [editline]04:56PM[/editline] Religion and Atheism*
North Korea will send in millions of young men to die for just inches on the battlefield. South Korea will play it way more safe
This can't have a good ending..
[QUOTE=gman003-main;22218135]North Korea, being a nuclear-armed state, is a legitimate target for nuclear attack by the US, by all the treaties and policy statements I've read. And we should, in fact, nuke the place flat. The citizens have been brainwashed for three generations. Kim Il-Sung took "Nineteen Eighty-Four" and thought it was a great idea. This is a country where the principle of "if everyone can't have it, nobody can have it" is taught to children (along with worship of the Glorious Leader). They have been taught for decades that foreigners are barbaric monsters. It is quite possible that the entire country is unable to reintegrate with modern society and culture. I was reading a list of things the media didn't report on because of Michael Jackson's death taking up all the coverage, and do you know what I found? North Korea threatening to launch an armed missile at Hawaii. They apparently do this all the time. Call me callous, call me a psychopath, call me a complete monster if you will, but it may be that the best thing we can do for North Korea is to annihilate it. If Kim Jong-Il wants to play in the big leagues, let him. He wants people to take him seriously? Do it. Respond to his invective the same way we would respond to Russia, or China, or Britain, saying the same things. If he wants to play in the deep end of the pool, it isn't our fault if he drowns. Go ahead, Kim-si. Bring it on. We'll flatten your farce of a nation before breakfast.[/QUOTE] My god you are stupid. Modern warfare is aimed at avoiding civilian casualties. The fact that you don't seem to value their lives at all isn't going to change that. No Western country is going to nuke anything.
[QUOTE=radioactive;22223394]What about the constant war between religion and Science?[/QUOTE] That's not a war, that's two intolerant groups bitching about everything. [editline]12:18AM[/editline] [QUOTE=codenamecueball;22223485]North Korea will send in millions of young men to die for just inches on the battlefield. South Korea will play it way more safe[/QUOTE] It'll be easy, NK is living in the 1950's
[QUOTE=Clavus;22223652]My god you are stupid. Modern warfare is aimed at avoiding civilian casualties. The fact that you don't seem to value their lives at all isn't going to change that. No Western country is going to nuke anything.[/QUOTE] I never said that wasn't what was going to happen. I'm saying what I would do, what I think is the best solution. Countries, in many ways, act like individual people. I have studied the national psychology of North Korea. The best analogy would be a paranoid schizophrenic. No understanding of consequences and frequent delusions. The other countries involved are at least sane. China is passive-aggressive with an ego problem, the US is a grandstanding, vainglorious ass that everyone tolerates because they honestly run the planet, and Russia is bitter over the Cold War. The UK is nostalgic for the times they ran they planet, Japan has PTSD over the last war but is still egocentric, and South Korea is scared shitless but is tired of putting up with North Korea, like an abused spouse about to go over the edge. All of those countries can at least be counted upon to act in their best interests. North Korea cannot. They are unpredictable, which is the worst thing a country with both nukes and enemies can be. They do not distinguish between enemy and civilian, both at the micro and macro scale. They can't threaten the US, so they point their missiles at Japan, simply because they're a useful hostage. North Korea is, in my opinion, beyond saving. You think it's tough in Iraq, or Afghanistan? They'll come around after a decade of war. North Korea will take generations. They've been living in madness for three generations; they cannot adapt to what we consider rational government. Give Orwell a read sometime, and you'll understand.
i bet on a nice evening on a sunday :20bux::20bux::10bux:
