Re: North Korea

I'm not too worried about the States because of the stability of the military and political system but North Korea do come across as a administration that would nuke someone for the attention alone. |

Re: North Korea
Regardless of what people think of Trump, he did once say on the campaign trail, I think he said during one of the TV debates, when Hillary was accusing him of being trigger happy, he retaliated by suggesting he would prefer a nuclear weapons free world and that he does not like them, but while others have them, the U.S cannot be left defenseless.
But his stance is that he knows Russia has spent a fortune upgrading it's military capability, that he feels the US must do the same, he accused the Obama administration of letting things slide in this area. The other thing with Trump is, he does not reveal his intentions, which is why the 59 missile strike on the Syrian Air base that was responsible for the chemical weapons attack earlier this year, was a total surprise. |
Re: North Korea
The Russian military budget is $70 billion in the last year, and the USA's is $611 billion - nearly 9 times as much.
Hillary didn't want to not have nuclear weapons, she was concerned that someone who tweets angrily at 4am in the morning if he's upset would be in charge of them. |

No need for the dramatics Hugh, 6 months in he's managed well so far.

Re: North Korea
Kim Jong Un seems to like his life, and power.
He must surely know that if he actually attacked anyone he would be blown out of existance. I think he'll stick to acting big, but not really try to kill himself. |

Re: North Korea
Kim Jong Un is completely rational and far from mad. He is doing exactly what he should be doing for the good of his country. At no point will he send nukes at anyone, no matter how much western governments through media try to scare people.
Anyone with nukes know the minute they send one towards another country legitimately, they will have nukes sent to obliterate their region. So nukes are a deterrent. Having nukes stops countries invading you. More specifically... war happy American military terrorists and whichever countries they can rope in to help and legitimise the invasion. King Jong has learnt from history. Libya had nukes which America eventually got it to disarm through negotiations and then....invaded Libya by helping the rebels get rid of Gadafi. They also tried sanctions and everything to get Iraq to get rid of it's nukes and once they were not usable...America invaded them and got rid of Saddam. Looking at that history, if you were responsible for the well being of a country, would you not make sure you had nukes to make sure muricaaaa didn't invade your country? :P Yes be patriotic but don't be sheeple when it comes to the Kim Jung Un is evil and so is Putin. Every other country does the same things they do but strategically the Russia, China and Korea coalition are together to protect against the EU and America coalition and vice versa, when you simplify it that way. |

On scale of 1 to 10 how doomed are we? I'm going with 10.

;) Those of us who lived through the 60's and 70's had the very same worry, many of us convinced that WWIII was imminent and we'd all be blown sky high or irradiated by Warsaw Pact nukes. We thought those days were gone with Gorbachev's reforms but... |

And there is no Russian/Chinese/Korean coalition. China tolerate North Korea because they don't want American power on their doorstep but that's the extent of their interest in North Korea in recent decades. Russia's interest dropped away after the end of the Soviet Union and with it their financial support for the country. I doubt either is enthusiastic about the prospect of them having nuclear weapons. There is no nation state lending any real help to North Korea. People can go too far the other way with this (healthy) skepticism of Western foreign policy and lending any moral or political legitimacy to North Korea is one such example. They're a immoral, dangerous and failed state. ---------- Post added at 16:04 ---------- Previous post was at 16:03 ---------- Quote:
