Site Supporter Spider Posted September 4, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted September 4, 2017 (edited) theres no military strike that doesnt end with seoul wreckedExactly Which is why this will remain a stand off until such time the Kim dynasty is toppled from within. Could take 50 years, but it'll happen. It happens like clockwork every year, only this time Kim has actually got the upper hand. not bad for a fat cunt with loose teeth and girls feet. Nowt's gonna change Edited September 4, 2017 by Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules_darby Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 They (and us) invaded Iraq because they had a couple of air riffles buried under some rocks. This guy is firing rockets over Japan and building nuclear weaponry for all to see. Funny how it's different when there's no oil involved Not convinced with the "lack of oil" argument See http://nypost.com/2017/07/03/north-korea-is-sitting-on-6-trillion-in-mineral-resources/ Probably not steamed in for a number of factors - geopolitical for a start Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted September 5, 2017 Members Share Posted September 5, 2017 Surely no one thinks nuking north Korea is a good idea? Nuking anything is not a good idea. For a start, there is the fall out to consider which could adversely affect any/all of us, never mind how many innocents would be incinerated. Still, if you hadn't asked the question, we would have been denied yet another classic glib comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolton va va Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 To be fair to Putin, he called it right in Syria by identifying ISIS as the biggest set of twats & taking action against them even if it meant propping up the less horrible Assad........all while Obama/Clinton got it wrong. I'm not sure writing off sanctions against North Korea is correct though......as has been said, NK would soon be struggling if the oil was cut off.

But this morning BBC's Far East correspondent said the military have ample stocks of oil for their needs - if push comes to shove the populace would go without heating.

Aye, the "enemies" of North Korea have probably got more concern for the general population of NK than their leaders have, NK's leaders will happily spend a large proportion of their budget on armaments whilst there are food shortages.

Sweep Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 NK's leaders will happily spend a large proportion of their budget on armaments whilst there are food shortages. Sadly very true. I'm currently reading "Nothing to Envy" by Barbara Demick. I'd highly recommend it if you really want to know how sick and dare I say evil their leadership has been over the past few decades. It's accounts from people who have managed to defect to SK from NK. It really is desperate what they've had to endure in times of famine, which have been a lot more common than you might imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what small insights I got it certainly sounded horrific. He'd left some family there as well but knew he could never go back.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 11, 2017 Site Supporter Share Posted October 11, 2017 In fairness I would imagine much is known of north Korean capabilities. Apparently some months ago, when nk tested a missile and it went wrong, there were suggestions cyber warfare had been employed to cock it up.
