I really don't understand why North Korea is trying to build up nuclear bombs.

I don't understand where he was even born! russia or north korea??

anyways, north korea wants to keep their bombs or else? (they said they'd call war if the us or its allies do a blockade?)

im confused

Lets do the math here:

1) Two people who, being journalists, have access to highly advanced communications equipment.
2) They are in an area where they are not supposed to be in a highly charged political climate.
3) They're snooping around, documenting things (pictures, text, video, etc).

If this happened in any other country... how would they not be considered spies?

Most other countries aren't North Korea. The problem was that the allegedly crossed into NK illegally, but no one is even sure if they were in NK when they were grabbed.

North Korea abducts people all the time. It's suspected that they've kidnapped as many as 80 Japanese, 486 South Koreans and a number of Chinese that's impossible to estimate because China doesn't value life. So far they've only officially admitted to smuggling something like 18 captives out of Japan. Sounds great, doesn't it? Stupid, illiterate Korean thugs breaking into your house in the middle of the night and stealing you away to sell on the black market, or to be made a gift for a party loyalist, or to teach their inbred children how to speak human languages, or maybe work in their heroin fields as a slave.

Oh yeah, that's right. Did you know that most of North Korea's arable land is being used for heroin? That's why they're starving. North Korea is the world's #1 recipient of food aid per capita and the world's #193rd for distributing food aid to the people who need it. Sacks of food aid grain are loaded directly off of the pallet and into a black market food kiosk, where they are sold to soldiers and party members. Koreans aren't allowed to have food, and the farmers aren't allowed to grow any.

The situation also is never going to change because we're all complicit. The portion of North Korea's income that doesn't come from heroin comes from outsourcing uncompensated labor to South Korean businesses. South Korean companies use North Korean slave labor to manufacture much of their merchandise. Since you're typing this on a computer I feel pretty safe in saying that there's definitely something on your desk that a slave was forced to assemble.

Asia in its entirety pretty much makes Nazi Germany look soft and fluffy.

theres been speculation that they were abducted while in China though.

You expect North Korea to care?

They were probably abducted in China while the North Koreans were securing their heroin smuggling routes.

They're just wonery. So wonery.

I still don't understand why we're putting up with this crap. Their entire country is smaller than many of our states. Just glass them. If they want into the nuclear arms race, then they should understand what dangers that's going to bring on.

thats what MacArthur wanted
thats what lead to Truman firing him
theres a reason why we dont resort to nukes only unless someone nukes us first

Glassing NK would also irradiate SK and China whom I'm guessing wouldn't appreciate that too horribly much. Nukes are not weapons of subtlety and precession.

And lets not forget all the innocent citizens of North Korea.

Innocent? They like the system! They aspire to positions of authority so they can profit from the culture of brutality and corruption. It's the same story in China and in American business.

So you're saying we should nuke everyone?

I like where this is going.

If everyone liked the system there wouldn't be people fleeing across the Tumen river. I said all the innocents, I never said everyone was innocent.

Jon'C- Kill everyone that has anything to do with anything bad.

Burn the heretic.

On a more serious note, So NATO sends a massive invasion force and kicks the DPRKs ***, Most of the area within 150 KM of the DMZ is leveled, What happens now?

Korean Conflict 2: Battle to the Yalu

Tactical nukes.

Yeaaaah, So what are you going to do with those? Set up some arty on SK soil and just lob them over? Tactical Nukes are about as subtle and precise as a carpet bombing.

I'm sure they can be adapted to be used from a plane, and can be used for bombing.

What really needs to be done is a full scale invasion, hitting all their military instalations with bombing all at once before. A joint world coalition. And wipe em out, all of em!

just isn't big enough to handle this.

:carl::carl::carl::carl::carl::carl::carl::carl:

You can't possibly be serious.

Shut up you canadian fat ****. Go pretend you are an actual DJ.

Anywho.. yeah North Korea is definitely a place that needs to be erased. Erased.

Thrawn's from Cali, dude.

Lies.

lol who the hell are you

gay enough to be canadian.

I like where this is going.

I had no idea gayness was part of being canadian, that means most of massassi is qualified to be canadian.

He's from California and you said "gay enough to be canadian"...

...

Not big enough.

that's what she said.

I've been trolling you guys all this time. I'm actually Kim Jong Ill.
