Ha... I don’t know what my contention is honestly. It just kinda surprises me a bit that were talking about Nukes so mildly. I guess I should be glad I live Near the shell of a City Detroit!!
Guess they want to go big or go home?
If I was the psychotic NK leader who had an ultimate weapon I would use that first and often.
Obama needs to pay attention. You can flip off the Americans or Japanese without consequences. You can’t flip off the Russians without consequences.
Agreed!!
“Fears of global conflict...”
I don’t see anything involving North Korea being a global anything.
If they started anything, Dear Leader would be a crispy critter in no time flat.
Koreans are an angry people. North or south.
Always wondered how Russia got control of the Vladivostok area.
Previously part of China. Was sold by corrupt Chinese rulers.
Check it out.
Maybe it’s Kim Jong Il who’s starving for squid?
Russia has a policy of ‘de-escalation’ that involves the limited use of nuclear weapons if they are attacked by large scale conventional ground forces to neutralize that threat. It is official Russian nuclear doctrine.
Obama, on the other hand, has communicated a ‘no first use policy’.
Pre-emptively nuking a small third country would in response to an aggression would also further their message to leave Russia alone and let them do what they want to do in the world? And what would we do? Nothing. More likely are more small scale wars or shooting down aircraft or attacking us through proxies. Again, we would be unlikely to do anything.
North Koreans bound to lose
agreed...
I agree.
Russia obtains new peach called old North Korea.
Beach P?
Spies........ fishers of men
If it swims or crawls, there’s a recipe.
