Well..It's official, North Korea has gone mad

[Nenga]

you can have a communist democracy; communism is an economic system, democracy is a type of government.

 

 

 

You know what I meant, socialist in democratic clothing.

 

Isnt that just another economic system while democracy is still government?

 

 

 

Guess what, Mill. Because of NATO, Britain will join the war too if NK attacks.

 

 

 

I think we're all forgetting about NIMBY- Not In My Backyard.

Well then I guess you're just SOL and JWF.

[obfuscator]

I'm a little worried things won't go according to plan should a war start. My worse fear is we see the unfolding of a secret communist conspiracy that has been drawn against us for a very long time. In this conspiracy we see Russia and China backing North Korea, along with the other communist nations, and pupits of the before mentioned big two all in a war against us. This would prove to be a nightmare of epic proportions, world war three indeed.

 

 

 

I hope my fears are unfounded.

 

 

 

Well considering Russia is Democratic now...

 

 

 

Though Bufoman is wrong, Russia basically is Communists in Democratic clothing.

 

I doubt that either Russia or China would back NK, although what you say about Russia being practically communist is quite true.

Well, they obviously can't win a conventional war with the US, so they will have to use their nuclear weapons. Oh wait, their crappy missiles can't even make it here. How many of their missiles have even been successfully launched (as in not blowing up mid flight)? Like one, or two? The United States has hundreds of ICBMs which work and are at the ready 24/7. All we have to do is change the target from Russia to North Korea (assuming that hasn't already been done), raise the DEFCON to up our missile defense systems, and the war will be over in 15 minutes with no American casualties. That is unless they try something a little more crafty....

 

 

 

Oh and for all the American haters out there saying it wouldn't affect you if we were wiped out: nuclear fallout + jet-stream= cancer for you. Plus without America to trade with, your country's economy is destroyed even more than it already is. Think out that.

Am I going to get nuked? :? I live east coast USA.

 

Wouldn't it make sense to nuke West because its closer then East?

[H2PM]

If they actually do it, then the majority of the developed world will attack them. Like really... blow them off the map? In reality, THEY will be the ones that will be blown off the map, unless they can match the power of half the world's superpowers. #-o

Exactly, When NK launches a missle, Russia and China will see it and shoot it down first, then everyone would retailate.

 

 

 

Goodbye NK, oh the times we had togeather...

I believe you are looking for fascist or commifascist, while technically still a government type and not an economy being a fascist state means the government is going to end up running the economy.

At worst NK could hit hawaii, alaska, or the west coat; there is no way they could hit the east with their missles.

Even if we are attacked with a nuclear weapon we wont retaliate in kind. There is no reason a country that can easily destroy its opponents ability to fight is going to use nukes. Unless NK puts together hundreds of nukes, we wont need to destroy their entire nation to defend ourselves.

[Dizzle229]

They aren't like Iraq, they have the 4th largest army on Earth. We aren't just going to steamroll over them like recent wars.

[spacheco]

but we have starcraft... so if they attack it its self defeating

[mmmcannibalism]

We have cruise missles, stealth bombers and so on. The main trouble we will have is holding the front line while we bomb their military infrastructure into oblivion.

Reading this, I have to wonder if the cold war really ended...

 

 

 

Really though, just sounds like a power trip. The kind a spoiled little kid would make.

It was my first rabbit he was smart he likes robes,hood,etc. and all he did was hit his stuffed animals with sticks and well he went to Bungie and the rest is to horrible.

There is no question that north korea could not survive should it attack anything with nuclear arms - the US alone has about one thousand nuclear weapons on ICBMs in silos out in Montana. It is situations like this that cause me to oppose nuclear disarmament.

I say replace the nuclear weapons with something that won't kill SK or Japan with any radiation effects, don't forgot what will happen should some of those go off over water, such as the ocean. :ohnoes:

Full scale nuclear was would pollute everything regardless of hit location.

What is North Korea's economic significance to the civilised world?

 

 

 

Have a think about that and you'll have a good general idea of how many friends North Korea actually has on the international stage. China, who helped out in the first Korean War?

 

 

 

China thinks of it as its [developmentally delayed]ed little brother who keeps threatening the other big kids to get attention and lunchtime leftovers.

Yeah. Best just leave them alone and ignore them. Soon they'll be wanting to be nuked'

Heaven forfend that I split hairs or anything, but:

 

 

 

com·mu·nism (k?m'y?-n?z'?m)

 

n.

 

A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.

 

Communism

 

A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.The Marxist-Leninist version of Communist doctrine that advocates the overthrow of capitalism by the revolution of the proletariat.

Original communism (Marxism) was an economic system. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I do believe Lenin bastardized it into a government system. It works fine as an economic system but you run into trouble with it as a government system.

 

communism is all about that the government controls the prices and the market, so it isnt only economical

[warren211]

I'd love to say we nuke the crap out of them before they can retaliate, but i don't like the idea of us doing exactly what Kim Jong Il says -- that America is the aggressor. Although if we do manage to nuke the crap out of them, it'll be a bit too late for him to tell his people "I told you so". Not to mention nukes would kill thousands of innocents. And even if their mentally insane leader is taken out of power, one of his mentally insane followers would simply assume the throne, or his son who has most likely already been brainwashed by daddy's insane teachings.

[Wisp]

There's also the first definition there, which everyone seems to have ignored.
