Shoi:

I lived in China over the summer and the Chinese seemed pretty pissed at you guys. Any idea as to if that's calmed?

the chinese and koreans have hated the japanese for a very long time, but espcially since WWII... russia now doesnt like japan and japan doesnt like russia because of an island dispute

[dryst]

sad thing japan doesnt have a military ...sucks for u guys...

[shoi]

Invasion by the US is out of the question. Letâ??s just say that if you want to eat in N. Korea you have to be part of the war machine. Itâ??s not a question of joining the military, you already ARE the military. There are too many people in the world that donâ??t like the idea of N. Korea running nuke tests in their back yard. The US will squeeze them with sanctions and lots of ugly talk but as far as muscle goes the US will take a back seat on this one.

I canâ??t wait to see how this gets blamed on George Bush . Come on you know that test was really done by the American government because GB had a dream that N. Korea has oil. I think we just found Saddamâ??s WMDâ??sâ?¦â?¦..lolâ?¦kidding .

Itâ??s a good thing that the UN is on the case I sleep so much better knowing their on top of things :what: .

NK leadership is wack, Kim Jong is completely delusional. Im extremely knowledgeable of most all weapons from .223 to ICBMs. Our missile technology by far surpasses most other countries and counter-missile technology is just as good if not better. They cant send a nuke anywhere that really counts, if they could get one on its way to the US it would be down from a PAC3 Patriot or laser in no time. As you guessed the US has allot of Shhh projects that not many know about so just feel good about that. Just send in the world police again...America fuck yea gonna save the mother fucking day yea.

Just FYI ICBM does not equal 15min delivery anywhere, just greater than 3,500 mile range I think.

Where'd you live in China moorephened and what were ya doing there? I lived in Shanghai for a bit over a year back in '96-'97. Totally different place now though. My wife is Chinese so we go back every year or so and can never believe how much different it is now. Heck, now they've even got Starbucks. I went half crazy trying to find a decent cup of coffee when I was there.

Anyhow, the Chinese will never like the Japanese. What the Japanese did to the Chinese in WWII makes what the Nazi's did to the Jew's look like a tea party. The fact that the Japanese continue to deny it makes them all the more pissed. The Chinese do like Japanese money though. If you go to any of the markets where prices aren't marked the vendors will typically have three prices: Chinese, general laowai(foriegner), and Japanese. Scamming the Japanese is the unofficial national sport .

North Korea having nukes really isn't anything new. They've been considered a nuclear power for quite a while. This is just the first time they've actually tested one of their nukes. It's just Kim Jong Il sticking his tongue out at the rest of the world. I don't know what he's hoping to accomplish though. Since we already knew he had them it's not like it's suddenly going to change anything. Plus it's just alienating him even more from China. While China would be quite critical of any unprovoked action by the US against the DPRK, they'll be just as critical if Kim starts something. If he's not careful he's going to wind up facing the the US and PRC on the same team.

Yeah, I'm sure there were a lot of disapointed little boys and girls in Washington, when that last missle North Korea tested fell into the water shortly after launch, and they weren't able to try out their new toys

As far as not being able to send a nuke anywhere that would count is concerned, there's a bit over 10million people in Seoul that would probably argue with you. From what I've read, however, most experts feel he'd probably use them tactically, against any large concentration of US forces posed for an invasion. The scariest thing is that Kim most likely would use them. Like a cornered animal he'll lash out with whatever he's got and if he figures he's going dowm one way or another, why not?

I read that it was possibly a neutron bomb not a nuclear bomb. Which means that it would be a smaller blast but an absolute shit load of radiation. Way more radiation then nuclear bombs.
