What is your view on the North Korea situation?

Question

I personnelly think that we should nuke them of the face of the earth, a little strong perhaps, but it will stop trouble for the future.

Answer 1

The Korean leader is a threat to the USA & other nations..then I fear a confrontation is headed up..Russia or China could do the deed, I mean they are super powers as well ya know..Korea has a history of violence with the US etc..even if that wasn't a Nuclear test,they are violating the UN's orders &
laws concerning nukes..Are the other 8 countries who possess nukes gonna sit back & wait to see who Korea tries to bomb first then act???God help us all...

Answer 2

You couldn't be more wrong. Has it ever occured to you that most countries seek nuclear weapons in order to prevent us attacking them. There is no reason why North Korea or Iran or any other country should not have nuclear weapons. If Iraq had had nuclear weapons, the US would have been too scared to attack them; now look at the mess they have created just because they wanted to steal their Oil. Where on earth are Saddam Hussien's weapons of mass destruction? We were so busy going after the oil, that we took our eyes off North Korea and now we suddenly think the same UN that we sometime ago had no respect for should come and sort NK out.

I am part of the West, but I am sick and tired of our bullying and double standards on so many fronts. We are ultimately the cause of all the problems around the world, thats why we need to spend so much trying to protect ourselves, whilst we look on women and children dying all over the world. If Darfur had Oil, we would have used the excuse of the current genocide to evade, but it is clearly not worth the loss of US lives.

Many years ago the US financed Pakistan to creat Islamic schools to destabilise the then communist regime in Afganistan. These schools produced Taliban (which means students), who were able to overthrow the communist regime on behalf of the US, and once their dirty work was done, they were abandoned by the US and we all know what happened next.

We must stop our double standards and start to listen. we are no more civilised than others as we showed at the end of the second world war when we bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki and I am so sure that we are less than 10 years away from doing the same somewhere in the middle East; afterall it is quite clear from Afganistan, Iraq and most recently Lebanon that conventional warfare is not working.

Unless we are prepared to start dismantling our nuclear machinery, I subscribe to the principal that every country that can afford nuclear technology be given a chance to develop the technology to protect themselves from being attacked by us. We really must start being very honest with ourselves on all fronts.

What is a terrorist organisation to one group is a freedom fighter to another and the principal of not talking or negotiating with such organisations even when they have a proven democratic mandate flies in the face of everything else. People do not blow themselves up because they enjoy it. It takes a whole heap of frustration to get people to that stage and yet we pretend not to understand.

Whilst I don't think that nuclear weapons are safe in the hands of the North Koreans, the Iranians or anybody else, history and current world events clearly show that they are not safe in the hands of the US either and if we are not prepared to lead by example, we should shut up and stop being unfair.

Answer 3

I wish it was that simple. It's not. And what about N. Korea selling nukes to terrorists. Terrorists that could come here and detonate a nuclear bomb in your hometown. Also, something important to consider is the fact that they have enough conventional missile launchers to wipe-out Seoul, S. Korea on 30 MINUTES. That means hundreds of thousands of dead S. Koreans and Tens of thousands of dead U.S Military personnel. I think that MAYBE it's time to use one of our tactical bombs, such as the neutron-bomb. Whatever the solution, if N. Korea doesn't stop, we're looking at a monumental confrontation that we(nobody) can back down from.

EDIT* I just read the responses. Unbelievable!! How can some Americans allow themselves to be ignorant of such a GIGANTIC issue? Let alone make comments on a subject of which they have little or no knowledge. Good Advice for ALL.... Better to be silent and thought a fool, than to open your MOUTH and remove ALL DOUBT..............

EDIT* - And Jerry, What if we can't get China to do it?? Then what??

Answer 4

Centrifuging to boost nuclear metals is a no suggestions-er. lots much less annoying than making digital chips case in point. you're able to do it at domicile. of direction you do not prefer to initiate with any previous powdered rock or you would be there continuously. So we ought to continuously not be shocked while international places try this. there is not any secret here as many could have you ever suspect. we actually are thinking their motivation. it is in part chilly conflict paranoia. the actual undertaking is the unresolved subject concerns between N/S Korea left after the so stated as Korean conflict. Do the main substantial means prefer them resolved? this is a complicated question. i think of confident and no. So Korea needs to go with them on their very own. this is my thought. North Korea in isolation for see you later is starting to be itself an untapped source for something of the international. As a marketplace, as a means progression zone, tourism, hard artwork, cement, helpful metals, think of tank. they like steel, nutrition, and gas to advance. What we see is the nuclear means progression and export of extreme markup products (weapons) that are least confusing advice on a thank you to advance. resembling such boost in drug generating international places there is intimidation and mendacity. Any theological disputes at the instant are meaningless. the relax disputes are utilitarian. yet the two sides discover themselves leaning up against and helping a wall that they actually do not prefer. even although there are Koreans that detest one yet another i think of they comprehend it is by way of fact of previous woes. while the time is right N/S will reunite. the actual undesirable adult men lie someplace else. who's assisting help this wall? seek for and you shall discover. Its probably no secret the two.

Answer 5

My view is that Clinton royally screwed up in 94' and the libs of course will never shoulder the blame but instead point the finger at Bush. The Dumb *** Clinton gave the N' koreans 2 reactors plus $100 mil./ year in aid which Kim Jong Il used to arm his military and enrich uranium. So now, what do we do about it???...We have to get China to act and put big time pressure on little Kim.....they are a world power and its time for them to act like one!

Answer 6

Where are Team America when you want them? Dhurka, Dhurka... Actually I think it is quite a terrifying prospect that they have a nuclear capacity.

I think a nuclear strike is not appropriate but some restrictions on trade and other punishments would be a start. We need to assert the voice of the free world to ensure that evil does not overtake the rest of the world.

Answer 7

The only solution I can see apart from a military strike is for China to encourage the overthrow of the North Korean leader. China is aware who the moderates are in both government and the military as most, at the top levels, will have received much of their ideological and military training in China.

Answer 8

Well... seeing as how our ENTIRE military is off chasing windmills in Iraq, we only have two choices with North Korea, Iran, and just about anyone else who makes any kind of trouble for the next two to ten years: nuke them or use strong language.

Answer 9

Korea will not be responsible for the next discharge of nuke- weapons., with all the distractions of late,we have forgotten about Iran and their trouble with Israel. It won`t be long before Israel `snaps` and attacks Iran, for continuing to supply the insurgents who are attacking Israels` land and peoples. The Israelis are not people to mess with, history has shown it to be so.

Answer 10

Why should you resort to threatening North Korea with nuclear weapons? That's going the right way to start a war. And which side would win a nuclear war??

None of them......
