North Korea Threatens to Harm U.S. If Attacked

That ship was shadowed by a US destroyer. Frankly, I'm shocked that the Nam Kang wasn't borded.

NK needs to be forced to obey the UN sanctions.

That would be up to the UN to do.

NK needs to be delt with. The time of the little dicatator needs to come to an end.

Jim Jong and his children need to be removed from power.

North Korea needs to be disarmed.

Feel free to do it. Just leave the US out of it. It's none of our business.
 
Three things I've read in this thread amaze me.

  1. That responsible adults can view a third-rate dictatorship selling nuclear arms to similar countries as somehow "none of our business."
  2. That anyone seriously entertains the notion the our current president's administration will respond effectively
  3. That anyone over the age of six would expect the U.N. to take meaningful, decisive, and positive action in such a matter.

Then feel free to start a war in Korea. We still have lots of GIs who haven't been killed in Iraq yet that we can send to NK so that they can get killed there.

And what would you have the U.s. do, invade North Korea? Hell your ilk is already talking about Invading Iran, so you want to have 4 wars going on at the same time now?

Oh come on Rev, conservatives on this board have talked for months in supporting either Israel launching an attack on Iran for their nukes or overthrowing their regime.

Bull****, I have much concern for Iran, but at the same time there is a thing called "too much interference can be a hindrance, not a help".

I just find it funny when conservatives talk big about invading this country, overthrowing this one and they don't realize how far from reality that actually is.

We cannot invade North Korea or Iran at this time (short of them actual invading or attacking us), thanks to Afghanistan and Iraq still going on.

There you go. I'm not going to go searching for something you know is true. Look in the NK and Iran threads and you will see.

You've been burned.

Wait, so supporting Isreal's right to defend itself is "wanting to invade" Iran?

Hoping that a regime is overthrown is "wanting to invade" Iran.

I see a number of conservatives on this forum during this entire thing, including ones like Celticlord, saying that yeah we definitely need to be taking a stronger tact in talking about freedom, the rights we hold dear, and speaking against what Iran is doing but a far far lower amount of them actually calling for us to go in there and attack...or to use your specific word invade....Iran.

Seriously, you're moving the goal posts here. Are you saying conservatives have had no issue with Israel attacking Iran, or are you saying that conservatives have no issue with the current regime to be over thrown, or are you saying that Conservatives have been pushing to INVADE. Cause those things are all VERY different and you can't pull this BS of trying to say the first two somehow prove the 3rd.

HAHAHA, Vader? Really? That's who you're claiming is the flag holder for "his 'ilk'". Doesn't "ilk" need to actually, I don't know, resemeble a group of people with a similar view point. The only person Vader's political mentality is close to is Vader. That's like me pointing out the neo nazi JoeHill as the standard bearer for "your ilk" TNE. Is JoeHill "your ilk" TNE?

Seriously, if your way of deciding what "our ilk" wants to do is by either taking a fringe extremist like Vader or trying to pick out one or two random loners as if they are majority of those speaking on this forum than "Your ilk" are a bunch of rampaging neo nazi's that are in line with Iran's views on Jews (JoeHill) that think we should do nothing in regards to iran (as a few liberals on the forum have said we should let them do this entirely on their own and not say anything about it as not to enflame").

Defending itself? How is Israel attacking Iran when Iran hasn't attacked them defending themselves?

That's like me shooting a neighbor as he is walking out of his house and then saying he was going to attack me.

So if I pull out a gun and wave it in your face and say "I want to kill you", you would not consider attempting to disarm me and incapacitate me as "defending" yourself because I haven't shot you yet?

And regardless of the fact...

Please prove to me or show me ANY LOGIC AT ALL that would equate "Supporting an Israeli attack on Irans nuclear facilities" equals and equates to "Wanting the United States to Invade Iran"

First, the concept of "destroying North Korea," bears some resemblance to the concept "wetting the sea."

That aside, it is only the ruling class that need be removed from power. I favor targeted assassinations.

War is man's natural state you know.

But I suppose from your somewhat over emotive statement that you prefer to simply ignore the problem of small, erratic and hostile countries with nuclear arms.

I suggest a perusal of history, that you might learn how much mayhem similar countries can cause with conventional weapons.

You might also take a few quiet moments to consider that just because we might favor avoiding war, doesn't mean that this is the norm in every culture.

I believe in bowing to Necessity. This is a hallmark of the sane adult.

I would have us deal with the problems, crises, catastrophes and affronts brought before us in any number. Anything else is the act t=of the fatally defeated.

Necessity has not the slightest intersect in our mood nor fatigue nor preferences nor the paucity of our resources nor the wasted state of our will. It is simply implacable.

By the way, I have no "ilk." I am unique, you don't even have terms to describe me, rest assured.
