North Korea Apparently Carries Out Nuclear Test (18 Viewers)

North Korea.

What an absolute joke. What a big, sad, absolute joke. It's beyond me how such a society could exist in the modern world. Then their leader wants to have nuclear weapons to try and gain credability in the civilized world? Makes absolutely no sense and it must be a living hell for citizens of such a ridiculous nation.

For those speculating about the situation in North Korea, a few months ago I found some pictures online that tell the story.

not according to Rami....

Me neither. China, a supplier of oil and food for this region, could well have been backing the action. It remains to be seen. Would strike me as odd, though, considering the economic spheres they are operating within. But possible. The rest of the nuclear weapon states and the international community as a whole should now, one way or another, clearly make North Korea understand that nuclear testing is unacceptable. Sanctions are important. If they are not imposed, what message does that send to the other states with nuclear arms, like Iran?

Do e a favour, Jem, and tell me why only North Korea should be under sanctions for a guilt that it shares with many countries in this World!!!

Having nuclear weapons?? So what?? Are they threatening two neighbour countries?? So what?? I know a country that threatens 20 neighbour countires since 60 years by the same weapons without seeing anybody saying any word about sanctions or even criticizing...

What a joke of a world we're living in these days...

And about the pictures which were claimed to be from North Korea, I think you all know that photoshop can do worse pictures, and you can find such scary pictures in all the countries of the World (In the poor neighbourhoods, at least)...

And let's assume that those pictures were correct and exclusive only in North Korea. Will the solution be occupying the country and killing hundred innocents just because they don't know their good??

They should all just kill themselves.

What would Kim do then??

 

[JCK]

its common knowledge Rami that they are dirt poor, and most people are living way below the poverty line...so much for communism



originally to protect us from the threat of the Soviet Union, who also is heavily armed btw..

and now to protect us from a wack-job who has no regard for his people, let alone the rest of the world, and could fire a missile out of complete paranoia of a "supposed" US attack on his country...and to protect us from a fundamentalist Islamic country who has already made claims to wipe one nation off the map when they are nuclear capable...and may aim to the west immediately after...

In other words, it is all about fear.

 

[ßöмßäяðîëя]

All power is based on fear if you get right down to it.

 

[Rami]

I can confidentally say that Kim Jong Il has no interests !!!

Yes he does, he has a fetish for your home brewn movies at an alley called hollywood

That's exactly my point, who needs power?

It's beyond me how such a society could exist in the modern world

Mybe they have a bad regime and a bad leader, but whats the society's fault ? The ppl r alrite, its just leaders.

 

[Rami]

not according to Rami....

Oh boohoo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and perhaps a 3 dozens of other countries are living in worsers situations because of Bush's policies....

And that post is by no means objective....The country is no heaven I give you that, but its not what you think is either...

Credibility? Their leader's sole purpose in life is to keep the nation far, far away from the rest of the world in every sense to every extent possible. They're not after credibility, they don't care about the rest of the world. That's exactly why this situation is so much more dangerous and intriguing than it would have been had it been Iran instead of North Korea.

Hold it, let's keep this one a two-way street. If it's being said OUR media are flawed (and for all intents and purposes I would indeed defend that statement to the end of days), then I would also like to point out that such a statement goes for all media. Full stop. Meaning you couldn't by definition know Iraq and Afghanistan are in fact worse off right now unless you've actually been to those places both before and after the war. Have you?

Well, don't you consider it a joke Bush is your president as well?

I've been to Iraq before during Saddam's reign, and I don't remember seeing 100 bodies everyday in Baghdad...

It was an isolated incident in Halabce...

Generally, Kurds were given enough autonomy to rule themselves...

That's not how I understand the situation but I'll admit that I don't know a lot about the subject. I should probably refrain from comments, since I only picked up some things from various media sources and Kurdish protesting groups when I worked for the Dutch government.
