North Korea orders rocket units to be on standby to attack USA

[the_windwalker]

I think, at least behind the scenes, most of the world considers Kim Jong-un to be more of a joke than anything. "DELUSIONS OF GRANDEUR" comes to mind. I suspect that all the threats are for the sake of his own people, to help to keep them in line. But, in this country, for each election, I hear thoughts about who will have their finger on the button for all the nukes. And, they have a kid with little experience and no tact. To read what he has to say sounds very familiar... Sort of like what Saddam said before the Invasion of Iraq. But, read it for yourselves and see just how unrealistic it really is. Then, think about a kid with a loose grip on reality having his finger on a nuclear button.

This and North Korea is crazy. Probably not a bad idea to take them out now before they get stronger.

I have one word for those who think attacking North Korea is a good idea:

China.

The China-North Korea Relationship - Council on Foreign Relations

I also understand that they back countries like Iran, Pakistan, Russia, and a number of other countries. If anything happens between the US and China's things will get very serious very fast.

The last thing China wants is North Korea to be a destabilizing force. They're probably "counseling" him right now. He'll either snap back into line and stand down some way or he'll have an "accident".


If he does do something stupid and the US/South Koreans respond, China will express its "grave concern" and then find something shiny to look at for awhile.

This is what happens when you have a kid with his finger on the button who should be off somewhere doing jello shots off a stripper's chest.

Pinned to the top of this forum...

No partisan jabs and no very controversial topics

Of course there is little defense against the illiterate.

His choice of US cities to bomb is rather odd..DC, LA and "Austin Tx" ?
Why not NYC or Boston or San Francisco which are all much bigger and have more national influence.
Or even bigger cities in Texas like Houston or Dallas.

First thing I thought when I read that..Gee maybe he doesn't like live music since that is what Austin is known for.
