North Korea detonates nuclear weapon

[SLCPUNK]

Imagine this.........

in 2000 your dear ole Donald Rumsfeld sat on the board of ABB, who sold North Korea 200 Million dollars worth of Nuclear reactors.

Two years later, he says they are part of the "Axis of Evil." (Of course, that was after Bush waived the inspection process to make sure no weapon grade material could be left over.)

Gee whiz...........who also sold nuclear components to Iran in the 90's?

(scratches head)

It wasn't Rumsfeld.............but _____________________.

Dick "Original Gangster" Cheney.  Through Halliburton.  What's your point?  Halliburton is doing great!

Damn!

You are correct!  And you are also correct as Halliburton's stock has doubled!

Some people posting on this thread seem to be war mongers, (The War mongers are seemingly all American)

This worse than the save the world thread

As for the American army, my uncle served in Iraq for the BA and told me about how his regiment had to take it in turns walking around carrying a giant Union Jack, so the Americans wouldn?t bomb them.

Back On Topic:

This is real life people we can sit around all day pointing fingers at whos fualt it is, but the fact still remains that NK now has Nukes and the CNN headlilne is NK threatens to shoot nuclear missle if the US will not talk. I think the US is there excuse in all this personally. I mean the UN and China are the ones they need to appease, the US would never invade or do anything to them with China being there neighbor. The tough NK position with threasts will only improve the US in there quest at the UN.

Hopefully China can pressure them enough to stop this maddness.

I think this should all be taken very seriously, but its weird how a lot of nations say they dont' believe this was even a nuclear explosion... I wonder if NK is just bluffing.  Just seems really strange that more then one country has come to this conclusion.

[smithandheston]

I dont think it matters to them, hey they wanted to get the worlds attention and give everyone heart attacks in unison to get love from the drive by media..... shit man there objective was done either way.... sad

[SLCPUNK]

China is leaning on them hard.

They will have more of an impact then we ever could at this point.

So much for the "why don't other nations stand up" theory............

Actually, China did nothing before this and is the reason the previous sanctions have not worked against North Korea.  China is talking, but lets see if they will support some meaningful actions.

If thats the case then why should we participate in unilateral talks?

I think you mean bilateral.  Good point, nonetheless.

[Brody]

good catch.. im still not awake yet!

[SLCPUNK]

I don't think I am talking about what China did before now am I?

I said China is leaning on them NOW. That's it, please don't try to twist it around.

You don't have to worry about it. Your coke head leader still is refusing to talk with them at this point.

Of course you avoid everything else like the plague.

[SLCPUNK]

No nuke?

[sjgotnitro]

I hope that is the case.

 I see it as NK is now f'd either way. Them not having it sure as hell open ups the window to do something about it before they do develop it, and them pretending shows there intent and will only help build momentum for more sanctions or cut down there nuclear capabilities before they start.

I'm an American, and damn proud of it.  But we fucked up.  Face it.  Grow up.  Move on.  Get the facts straight.

Why so much animosity?  I am not twisting what you said in any way.  I am merely responding to the "so much for other nations not stepping up."  My statements were quite relevant to that statement.
