I woke this morning to this headline: "North Korea Threatens to test
Nuke"
Threatens? Please. It has always been just a matter of time.
A nuclear bomb is today's greatest equalizer. Small nations become
equal to huge superpowers after a small detonation proving they can blow
us all to smitherines.
It was always just a matter of time before North Korea, Iran, and every
nation on earth develops a nuclear bomb. Even us Canucks had some US
nukes on loan in case of emergencies during the cold war.
We have to come to terms with that reality, and figure out what to do
next.
This constant insane panicking at the suggestion of nuclear testing
indicates more a "head in hole" mentality from the world community more
than anything else.
It's happening, it will happen, and no matter how many treaties you sign
or inspectors you send the benefits to a nation are just too high for
them not to pursue.
Again, the real avoided question that should be asked is what do we do
about it?
Two Words:

North Korea is one of the tails of the communist empire called China. Thus china use's Lil'Kim at convenience to annoy the west. Blame China for the annoyance and static.

ReplyDeleteAre you serious, PGP ???
They are just testing .
Yes, braverdave, I think pgp is serious. Even though there is a hypen, it is still two words.
ReplyDeleteI was surprised how ineffective their last test was. Them threatening tests seems to be posturing. My mother (so few people around me are willing to discuss politics face to face) does not think North Korea is anything to worry about. My post about them, found on the http://greycanada.blogspot.com/2006/10/north-korean-threat.html page, was actually directed at her. Check out what Captain Ed has to say.
My neighbour was giving me a dirty look last week. I think I will PRE-EMPTIVE STRIKE his ass too.
