It is amazing how far a little hurt feelings can go in this world. You should all prepare yourself, the Koreas may be going to war.
It started March 26 when the South Korean Cheonan warship was sunk. South Korea blamed North Korea and hurt the short little psycho’s feelings. Then, North Korea decided to retaliate and expel all South Koreans from a jointly held border factory park. So South Korea started denying North Korean cargo ships to pass through South Korean waters. So North Korea said South Korea cannot fly through North Korean airspace. So South Korea started blaring border-level psychological warfare propaganda. So North Korea started blaring border-level psychological propaganda. So South Korea stopped all trade. So North Korea mobilized their 1.2 million member military and told them to prepare for war.
All over some hurt feelings because the South said the North sunk a ship that killed 46 people. How the hell many people do you think are going to die when the North starts shooting the rockets we know they have? And have you thought about us, South Korea? Because we have some 30,000 troops there to “keep the peace” and you know damn well they would be involved if you two childish fucks cannot keep your heads out of you asses.
It has been 57 years since the cease fire was called. FIFTY-SEVEN YEARS. Give it a damn break. Live in your own countries and leave eachother the fuck alone! I get it, you really really hate eachother. I don’t care. South Korea, you cannot rely on the North to be sane here. You have to placate that little crazy man. You know why? Because it is highly likely that he has nukes and I do not think he will show restraint. Good God, he is ready to go to war over hurt feelings! And North? Come on, it doesn’t matter that the whole world thinks you sunk that ship in some weird display of power. You have managed to keep the world at bay for 57 years. That counts for something!
But in the end, I just hope they don’t go to war. The US cannot afford another war. The world cannot afford for Kim Jong Il to have an excuse to use his weapons.
” The US cannot afford another war.”
That about sums it up right there. We have waisted our resources on the current situation so badly, another war might just spell our doom.
If we think there’s no way, all we need do is loo to recent history. Afganistan brought down the Soviet Union, or was the catalyst at the very least.
Afghanistan has brought down EVERY.SINGLE major nation that attempted to invade them. Every one. To assume we will be different is to simply be ignorant of the basic facts.
The funny thing is, we set up the Taliban regime. We supported Saddam as well. We propped up these crazy despots because at one time they were friendly to American interests.
The Middle East wasn’t always a bunch of crazy islamic jihadists (nor is it now). During the European Dark Ages, Arabia flourished. They had a much more advanced society than Europe in the areas of science, mathamatics, the arts, and medicine (they established the first public hospitals and Universities).
The Islamic fundamentalists started taking over after WWII. Oddly, that’s about the time the US started interfering in their governmental affairs.
