Answer 1

Invading north Korea would be once again a very stupid thing.

Answer 2

Well .... Technically speaking the US is still at war with North Korea. The Korean War is still in a Cease Fire status. There has been no official ending to the Korean War.

As far as why the US hasnt invaded North Korea. Well why should they ?? Exactly what would that do ? IF the US went into North Korea Militarily then Kim Jong Il would no longer be in Power. China while having a large military does not have the resources or the funds to ensure that all of their troops have top of the line equipment. There is a big difference between a Type 98 MBT (Main Battle Tank) and a type 59 MBT. Even still the M1A2 Abrams MBT is a very nasty tank. Ask the Iraqi Armor forces and they will confirm that.
As far as a Nuclear War threat ?? I doubt that North Korea would use them since it is common knowledge that the US will retaliate in kind. Meaning if North Korea was dumb enough to launch its Nukes at the US or use them in theater then the US would retaliate by using nukes of our own.

As for why does America think it is so powerful ?? Well lets see. There is no other nation in the world that is emulated more than the US. Look around and what do you see ? American businesses are doing business overseas. Foreign Governments are trying to style themseves after the US Government. Now look at who the population is emulating. Hmmm looks to me like they are emulating Americans. Style of dress, language, Music...
Now lets look at who feeds most of the world. Yep you guessed it Its America. World War I and II were ended because of Americas direct intervention. Yes I know the Russians kept alot of German soldiers occupied on the western front. But if it wasnt for America supplying Russia they would have never lasted. Remember that in World War II that America was fighting on 2 seperate fronts. After World War II which nation was it that rebuilt Europe ? Hmmm let me think. Oh I know AMERICA. Which nation rebuilt Japan ?? I think it was America. Lets look at Natural Disasters. Which Nation is one of the first to send money, supplies and specialists to assist in recovery operations and ask for nothing in return ???? Hmmmm Yep America. Which nation, when it has its own Natural disaster doesnt go around and ask other nations for a helping hand or money or experts for assistance ?? Yepp same one America. Which country is the target for all this bashing as being all cocky and arrogant ? America. Which country after being bashed openly in the world media, burning that countrys flag, openly protesting and yet will assist you when you ask ?? Yep again America. You see America is the only true Superpower on the planet. Does America have problems ? Of course it does. America airs its dirty laundry out for the world to see. Why do they do that ?? So that they can be ridiculed, or scorned ?? No because it is showing the world that we too can make mistakes and grow from them. We are a Great nation and we can admit when we made a mistake. We have nothing to hide, we do not fear that we will lose face in the world opinion.
America is Cocky, they are Arrogant. They have every right to be so. They won the Cold War. They will win the War on Terrorism. The world is a better and safer place because of America.
Sleep well tonight for America is on Guard and will keep the bad people away.

Answer 3

I doubt america will invade Korea. It has not solved the problem in iraq and they will not want another ground war. A friend of mine said they will nuke Korea to teach it a lesson and show all would be "Rogue Nations" that the USA will not tolerate this. I dont agree. China should play a key roll in solving this problem. The USA has only to arm the South and also Japan and other friendly nations in that part of the world to defend them against this threat. I hope it wont come to that, there are far too many nukes in the world to destroy it ten times over.

Answer 4

Why would the USA invade North Korea?

NK's leaders just want attention & more deals from the US as NK is crumbling.

Their long range missles were duds & the "test" atomic blast was sub-optimal indeed some are questioning wether it was nuclear in nature as no detectable radiation was leaked.

The US will leave the invading of NK to the country historically known as the western country most likely to invade another country, GB.

Have a great day.

Answer 5

Does America think it is so powerful? That is a rather sweeping statement and I think you would have to take a poll to confirm it. America is made up of millions of people and I would not presume to speak for them all. I don't think everyone in America has a Power complex, or is extremely nationalistic. In fact, it would surprise me to learn that the majority are. Most of us love our country, though many are disappointed in some aspects of it. I think America is about the greatest country in the world, but I am not thinking of her great power. I am thinking of it being the best place to live. Power? Yes, in fact I do think we have a lot of power as a nation, but that does not mean we should go throwing it around trying to boss the world or run all the other countries' business for them and tell them what to do. Could we successfully invade and defeat North Korea? I believe that we probably could. Should we? That is an entirely another matter. I personally do not approve of a lot I hear about North Korea and her ruler, but unless he definitely becomes a threat to the US and the rest of the world, I do not see much point in picking a fight with him. I personally, as one small individual in this great nation hate war. I am a pacifist at heart and believe we should fight mainly in self-defence. That is just the way I see it. I am sure other Americans see things from their own point of view.

Answer 6

It won't invade N Korea because they have nukes, though I heard a good description of the situation on a comedy show a couple of days ago.

Apparantly the Koreans only have 2 nukes, compared to the thousands that Amrica have.

The Korean nukes can only reach Alaska so are Korea really going to launch one, thinking "Hey, lets nuke Alaska, if the Americans have a go back we've still got another nuke to really teach them a lesson"

Then again the same program did go on to say you don't need a nuke to destroy most alaskan towns, a 3 bar electric fire & a couple of gallons of petrol will melt most of them.

EDIT

SHARDF .

You say LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE NUKES

SORRY

9 nations in the world have Nukes, that's hardly lots.

Answer 7

There's no question about it, America is a powerful nation. Upsetting North Korea is a dangerous game. N Korea may have nukes at their disposal and if they hear something they don't agree with, who knows what'll they do? Enforcing sanctions is in no way an act of war which N. Korea happens to deny. Think about Hiroshima, America was heavily condemned for their actions. Do you think they want to be responsible for a biological war?

Answer 8

i dont think america or any other country would "Invade" another, however i do think its hypocritcal for the US to go to iraq and seek out the "weapons of mass destruction" that werent there in the first place and then not do the same with korea, but it would probably cause a nuclear war, and that is something not many people would want. And i think the US president has probably thought of sending troops in there, but then stopped cos he remember korea dont have oil

Answer 9

The U.S. " IS" a great and powerful country.
One of Many.

As for America being fearful to invade North Korea???
You have to be kidding right???

First of all, North Korea is a "Neighborhood Problem".
The first time North Korea fires one of those raggedy missiles and it lands in China's back yard killing a few thousand Chinese.......
China will finally quit babying that babbling idiot and march in there and drag his raggedy A** out.
*Problem Solved eh?

I say..........we Americans just stand back and watch China eat crow.

Answer 10

We are living in 21 century and for being powerful, it isn't necessary to invade a country by military action. this form has changed nowadays, and you see that it doesn't work out *in Iraq*.
the America is powerful because it can lead the world public thoughts. n korea hasn't attomic bomb and America had this power to convince EU and other country.
America is powerful because without any document couldconvince the world that Iran is building attomic weapons, and it's clear that Iran is unable to do so.
America is powerful because it's for years which it's forces are in the persian golf and any country can't say why.

Answer 11

Because Korea have nukes, and they're as mad as a box of frogs.

Ask yourself this. If you saw a deranged man wearing a dress, mumbling and arguing with himself, and waving a big knife in the air, would you try to disarm him, or would you just keep your distance and keep an eye on what he does?

That, and the fact that Korea doesn't have any oil reserves or other valuable commodities that George Bush can get his grubby little grasping monkey hands on.
