North Korea nukes Washington… in its propaganda video, anyway

Re: "North Korea nukes Washington"

I'm personally surprised China hasn't steam-rolled North Korea, took the land, and looked wonderful in the world view for taking out a terrible dictator.

They'd be taking on millions of horrifically impoverished refugees and gaining....

DPRK has few natural resources, terrible farmland and as Deuce quite rightly pointed out, a large, impoverished population.

China has nothing to gain from taking over North Korea.

not likely that China would allow lil' Kim to do that. that would be like walmart nuking its customers.

He is weak and has shown it over and over again.

Why do you think it took strength to tell a military detail to go after buin Laden.

Obama did nothing other than say "do it".

Give me examples of him being weak. But I won't hold my breath.

Yes it took strength to give the order. It was a major risk to do so politically and would have been a disaster if the mission failed. And he was being advised not to by the way. Ask Carter about the failed mission to capture the hostages in Iraq.

Iran.

The constant Republican drive to strip Obama of any and all credit for getting rid of bin Laden is pretty funny to watch sometimes.

By their rationale, no President ever should get credit for any military or intelligence accomplishments during their time in office, since all any of them did, technically, was order someone else around.

Yeah I meant to type Iran.

Thanks!

yeah, pretty much. the NK dictatorship only exists because of China's protection, and nuclear war is bad for business.

China needs a place to dump all its toxic waste, Sounds like a win-win solution to me!

Re: "North Korea nukes Washington"

I congratulate you on the rhetorical rhetoric that you've rhetorically used and admire you for your rhetoricalness. Speaking of which, neocons seem to have more of an inclination for using 'war' on the diplomatic front since there are few world militaries that have the same strength or goals as the US. NATO hardly has the same strength and seems not to have the same goals as the US, anymore. The UN has no strength and definitely doesn't have the same goals as the US. When you say the US is making more friends and has more diplomatic relationships with the rest of the world than ever before, this is because the US has changed its stance on world politics and not the other way around. Compromising has come more and more from the US. The rest of the world is 'shaming' the US into making their current stance on many issues which this administration is more than willing to oblige.

Here at home, liberals and socialists seem to have more of an inclination for violence which also isn't squelched by any governing bodies (like the police or the law, for example) for fear of being a pariah or being prosecuted. The old American saying seems to have changed into 'the law is the law unless some people don't like the law' resulting in anarchy that isn't allowed to be squelched by the law or police.

The US military is the most technological in the world. The impetus that gained the US military this notoriety has definitely changed into the 'get along with the rest of the world, don't get in the way of the rest of the world, US military'. These motivations tend to lead to a lack of preparedness and a desire not to being the most technologically advanced military in the world. This is evidenced by the links from a previous post of mine.

I can dish out rhetoric with the best, like you, for example.

Please don't try rehash words like you just did. It's redundant, and your usage is not clever at all. Stick to meaningful discussion.

Also obvious is the rest of your first paragraph. I don't refute most of that, but you seem to see that as a good and bad thing. I don't see going into meaningless wars , because we are powerful enough as a good solution. There are better diplomatic alternatives for us financially, morally, etc.

I also don't disagree with your second paragraph either. Democrats are violent in their own ways too. That is not an excuse though for others to be violent in their own regard.

We are the most advanced military though, and it's not even close. However, the problem is for people such as yourself, that isn't enough. You aren't satisfied until we wipe out any country that doesn't bend over backwards for 'the American Empire' and the sad part is you have the audacity to sit there and pretend that having national pride is a good thing, when in reality, it's only if it's American for you.

S. Korea has already done that. Who'd patrol the 'demilitarized zone' between the two walls?

No. Stop with the strawman arguments like your last paragraph. You do not describe me, there. I will not be sucked into any more sidebars. Have a happy Easter.

Do you realize Phys251 is for another wall being built between the 2 Koreas about as much as you'd like for a dome to be built over N. Korea? Which is not at all? Who says yuge?

I can be sucked. I lied.

Trump™ says yuge!™ I was also entirely not serious about the issue! I think we "really, really, really™" need to get grips with this "great, great™" since we have some really really™ smart people today, The danger of nukes being fired is because of the airspace over North Korea not being covered by a dome! Somebody has to be shooting the nukes! Trust me I will build a great dome ; and nobody builds domes better than me, believe me – and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great dome on our northern enemy, and I will make North Korea pay for that wall. Mark my words, for this will be a historic day, when I go on yet another Trumpscepade, but trust me, I'll get away with it because i'm beautiful, you want to know what the beauty of me is, it's that the beauty of me is that I’m a very very not poor person, trust me like really, really rich, and I know someone so poor they could go for some yuge dirt right now, like really yuge. I just know hundreds of people who love this dome thing, and I've just begun, hell even Kimmy Jong Un loves it!
