North Korea declares war?

China will never be cool with it, especially once a unified Korea hosts a U.S. military base right across the border.

 

. . . on high prices!

 

With today's weapons we can insert a Tomahawk right in Lil Kim's window and never come close to the civilian population. If we do, they've had 70 years to wake up and cast off the yoke of these assholes, so no real sympathy anyway.

 

Those missiles that took out Bin Laden and Saddam sure were accurate.

 

It's the North Koreans' fault that three maniacal dictators, strongly supported by the Chinese and Russians/Soviets, have ruled over their society for 60 years?

 

The reasoning, if you'd call it that, behind the 38th parallel being chosen as the line of demarcation between North Korea and South Korea is to me evidence that human beings are a really eff-ed up group. The 38th parallel was chosen because it was on most of the maps. That's why. Truth really can be stranger than fiction.

 

The Indian subcontinent was divvied up in similarly arbitrary fashion.

I still say we should go in and just level Pyongyang. The city's inhabitants are government and military officials. The civilian population is spread out through the countryside where they live in labor camps.

I think that North Korea is now being run by Rufus T Firefly
