North Korea

[Uncle Liam]

As a battleground for a proxy war against china most likely.

that incident is the only one that has been reported by the western media, I agree. But who's to say what covert operations american special forces are undertaking in north korea that go unreported?

[russycarps]

So everyone only believing the 'western media' bad?

Your idle speculation good?

Its very simple. America greyish, NK Blacker than black.

I can think of three aggressive actions by NK in the last few years. The shelling of that island, sinking of that boat and sending rockets over Japan. Can't think of any in the other direction!

apart from the masses of foreign troops on the north korean border and WMDs. Why is that not viewed as aggressive?!

No...,

But it's naive to think that North Korea would just sit back and be happy with their lot if not of that was true.

They certainly have ambitions to invade the south...

[kaosmark2]

Is that true? Earlier in this thread people were arguing that neither the south nor the north want unification.

Even if that were the case, do you want america to be the world's policeman? When it comes to civil wars, how do they decide which side is right? Why havent they got troops and nukes in all the countries having a civil war in africa?

[russycarps]

It's not a civil war if they're separate countries.

[kaosmark2]

China's prepared to work with the US to convince North Korea to stop pissing about.

Says it all to me.

[guypjfreak]

were still here so alls good

[wullie72]

These claims of us being under nuclear threat from North Korea have the feel of Tory Blair's forty five minute claim. I know they have them but seriously doubt their ability to deliver them here.

Just watched the slightly controversial Panorama show. Nothing new on it, just a reiteration of the usual: famine, gulags, power cuts, brain washed civilians, paranoia, personality cult worship, blaming foreigners for all their ills etc etc

Did show information could be leaking in though, he picked up South Korean phone signals so maybe, just maybe they will start to see the truth.

russycarps makes plenty of good points folks, the idea that the americans should be seen as the good guys frightens the life out of me. Their actions in south america should be enough to show people that thier idea of what is for the best quite often isnt anything to do with what is actually for the best of said countries.

As for North Korea, their leader (and previous leaders) are obviously nut jobs but they dont come across as being stupid. They have nothing at all to gain from taking on the might of the good ole USofA. Its just a lot of posturing from a leader who has recently come into power
