N. Korea Has Already 'Mock Nuked' Alaska

[Fengzi]

The only reason why North Korea has like a bagillion people in there military is because if your not in the military than you donâ??t get to eat (not kidding.)

Secondly, we would never go toe to toe with North Korea we would/should nuke them. Sure itâ??s unpleasant but it would save many lives.

Actually, nuking N. Korea would not be a good solution by any means. If it stays conventional, China would most likely stay out of it, preferring to kick back and be a spectator instead. If it goes nuclear, however, this would be the surest way to get China involved. Not because they'd be defending their communist brothers, but because nobody wants nukes going off in their backyard. Plus (i'm no expert on this so corrcet me if I'm wrong) wouldn't we potentailly be raining fallout on our allies-S. Korea and Japan?

Prison planet... how typically pathetic.

The DRPK and Iraq are/were clearly 2 different regimes with different problems and, therefore, different solutions. One blanket solution, for every problem, might work for the simple minded but it's not realistic.

Very true, iamapatient. While I don't agree that we should have gone into Iraq in the first place, it is very simpleminded of those who think we should have just gone to N. Korea instead. It's a whole different ball of wax with far greater ramifications.

Not ture, tactical nuke strikes would not neccessarily involve China's nukes. In fact they could easily DO the nuking of the DPRK. One scenario that would serve as an example would be if they fire a missle that goes off course and ends up in China instead. Another is if America were actually attacked first by the DPRK (suicide), China would stand down. Additonally, DPRK air and sea power is a joke, we wouldn't have to nuke them to win but we certainly *could *in retaliation.

The critics are, at best, short sighted.

I disagree. Perhaps if China doesnâ??t want nukes going off in their back yard they should yank a knot in their communist brothers tail.

Nukes have come a long way since Hiroshima and Nagasaki

(I donâ??t think the guy/gals at Los Alamos National Laboratory and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory are working on this shit around the clock because they think itâ??s fun)

If you donâ??t like my source do a search and pick your poison there are many to choose from. (I'm not sure I like my source...but I don't have the time to pick the one I do like...like I said there are many to choose from)
