do you think the bush administration will ever attack north korea?

Question

i have no doubt war between them and america is inevidable,because north korea will eventually test rockets and nuclear bombs leaving us no choice. my question to you is do you yhink bush is going to handdle this sittuation or are we going to have to wait until the next president takes office.

Answer 1

North Korea is a bankrupt dictatorship which relies heavilly on cash donations, mainly from China in order to prop up its corrupt ruler Kim Jung II. North Korea needs cash to prevent a collapse. That is what this whole affair is about.

Traditionally, when the cash starts to run out Kim Jung II throws his rattle out of his pram, makes a few theats against South Korea and then waits for additional cash incentives, cheap fuel, subsidized food and natural resources to arrive (usually from either Europe or China).

The problem is that China wants to spend more on its own development and less on supporting North Korea. After all, the cold war is over and China is happy to embrace the capitalised model i.e. Allowing big corporations in such as Pepsi Cola, MacDonalds, etc.

This unfortunately means less money being given to North Korea by China, hence the "nuclear test".

China is most annoyed with North Korea as the rest of the world is now looking to China as Kim Jung's best buddy to give aid in exchange for a cesation of nuclear testing, something that China doesn't want to do any longer, at least not to the level that it has done previously.

The reality is that North Korea has neither the resources nor the capability to be an effective nuclear power. It will take at least a further 2-3 years before it can effectively delver a warhead via a misslile. The most it can hope for is to drop a bomb from an aircraft and even then it doesn't have one big enough, since the crude bomb it managed to detonate was estimated to be about the size of a truck.

Within the next month negotiations will be reached resulting in North Korea suspending its nuclear activities in exchange for increased foreign aid.

Kim Jung II is seen as being similar to Fidel Castro. When they die their countries will come back into the capitalised fold, that is why no one is intending to inavde the country.

Iran - now that is a totally different scenario !!!!

Answer 2

*sigh* The quesiton isn't "if" but "when" and no, it won't be Bush attacking the North, it will be the North invading to the South using typical Soviet nuclear doctorine of 1 nuke weapon to open it, with 2 back up nuclear bombs supporting it. And if using the typical "3" of the Soviet techniques, Kim Jong Ill will open the attack up on 3 fronts, using 3 large bombs at the same time.

You should be scared, this is getting scary.

I keep iodine in my first aid kit, along with gas masks- cause I am 36 hours downwind from a nuclear blast from that son of a ****** in Seattle

Answer 3

So, what you're saying is you ARE in favor of war--just not the war we're fighting. Interesting! I, personally, would like to avoid war. Further, the democrats supported taking Saddam out. Here are just a few things they said before this war. "One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 I've got lots more quotations, too, but I figured this made the point. Allow me to point out that it was Clinton and Albright who gave him the necessary tools to create the bomb he exploded the other day. So, when would you like to start the attack on North Korea?

Answer 4

No I don't because I honestly believe Bush is a coward. He attacked Iraq, and he lied to justify it, because he thought it would be an easy win. When it became obvious he was wrong he didn't have the guts to put in the resources that our troops needed to survive. Right now all he's doing is setting them up as targets. Now that North Korea is Nuclear we, as a nation, are at personal risk, there is no way that Bush will confront them, he hasn't got the b***s.

Answer 5

Bush will start the war, then left the office and put the burden on the next president. ******* Bush....

Answer 6

Next president - I think Bush is finally realizing that him and his advisors are starting to looking like idiots, plus our military is stretched way too thin to deal with their 1,000,000+ soldiers.

Answer 7

The whole Iraq thing is what that is keeping us from doing more about N.Korea.The next president.

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
