NK has set off nukes. THis isn't debatable. We've seen them.
NK has fired rockets at the USA - they failed before reaching us, but technology typicallly improves over time. If they keep firing, eventually, one may reach us. Or they choose another delivery system. Tie a nuke to a donkey and send it over the order. Put that shit on a rowboat. whatever.
NK has made recent statements about going to war with us, destorying us, fccking our mothers, etc.
Now, I know Bush/cheney were full of shite about iraq having WMD... however, NK has them. They have illegal nukes that they have set off as proof. WAY different case. I dont remember iraq firing rockets at hawaii lol...
It's easy for the ignorant to flippantly spew out war rhetoric. Last I checked, there's only one country that has used nuclear bombs on another nation. You referenced the invasion based on the now famous phantom WMD in Iraq. How about Libya? Did they attack or threaten to attack America? What if based on such aggressions on the part of the U.S, other countries around the world felt as though they needed to attack first, as a pre-emptive strike to protect themselves? Would that be ok? By your logic it should be, so what's the problem? Yet, North Korea is the scary monster to be afraid of?
The death and suffering by innocent civilians left in the wake of such invasions, which is common of all military conflicts, is of little consequence I guess, so long as they're foreigners. It's standard practice to dehumanize them and not view them as people as we are.
Economic warfare has been deployed against North Korea via sanctions. No different than the sanctions being placed on Iran, in conjunction with the constant fear mongering and rhetoric about them allegedly developing nukes. Pakistan, India, Britain, France, Israel and many others have nukes. Where is the indignation when they have them?
This is a critical period in human history, with history on the verge of repeating itself. We are in the midst of global currency wars. Sound familiar? People need to stop watching Jersey Shore and wake up to what is really taking place in the world, and not buy in to the propaganda that is put forth by mainstream media for the sheep to lap up. Do you not consider or understand the events taking place, or the alliances being formed in the background, with the potential for a conflict to escalate into a full blown world war? An itchy trigger finger is not prudent at this juncture.
