Danni,

Not everyone is scared of "provoking" the north. Go hide under your bed liberal. As usual, someone else will confront the evil in the world and not back down.

i think we should send a massive christmas tree over to set up just on the south side of the boarder.

Other than Dick Cheney, nothing angers a Commie or a lib moire than a lit Christmas tree. If you say "Merry Christmas" to the MFers they look like the Teminator when he hears "Sarah Conner."

Hey syco ever see the south Korean military in action ,they are far from scared, more like ruthless. Most south koreans don't even pay attention to little kim's babble. The only reason they did not retalliate for the sinking of thier ship was the U.S. holding them back.

LOL!
One more thing that Liberals have in common with the North Korean commies.

HUGO,

Yes, Obama, libs and Commies also believe in income equality. When the Socialist-in-Chief is done we will all be making ZERO and eating tree bark like the North Koreans.

please tell me when obama said that all incomes should be equal.

I'd like to see proof of that. Obama is many things, but a hardline Marxist?

If Odumbo is not a Marxist then why is he using class warfare rhetoric and squaking about income inequality?

Why should the NKs get bent out of shape over a norwegian pagan symbol for the solstice?

Or do they think that the xians ripped that symbol off, like they stole easter and the resurrection? I bet they also think December 25th isn't Jesus' real birthday and that he really wasn't crucified on the third Thursday after the 12th full moon of the year.

Fuckin' commies-don't they understand xians need their myths as bad they need the lil'kim and his daddy myths?

That's so stupid. If NK even looked like they were going to release a nuke, SK would make them a glass parking lot. NK may get off one or two nukes, but SK would probably unleash 25-30 to put NK off the map. Then, it would be about survival.

I served two tours in Korea. They are not pushovers like our liberals. They will do what it takes to survive without worrying about politically correct bullshit.

Is there anything you're not gleefully ignorant about?

Huh, that's odd. I have a small tree and a bunch of lights and I'm a liberal athiest. On the other hand I can't imagine how you manage the cognitive dissonance of putting up northern european pagan midwinter symbols to celebrate the supposed birth of a middle eastern jew.

I just think they are pretty and the nights are long and it brightens the place up.

Atheist that is.......

For that matter how are manger scenes not graven idols?

Do you honestly believe the US military has the capacity at this time to pick a fight with NK?

Yes, and we would win. I never understand why liberals are so down on their own country. One Brigade Combat Team could probably seriously demean NK's fighting power. Probably would drive deep into the country before needing resupply. I guess I have been in the military so long I know the destructive force of our military. We are really the best in the world by far and no other nation compares, and I have seen and served in combat beside the best militaries in the world.

I'm a non-believer who also likes Christmas trees....And (don't tell the other atheists), I even like the nativity...

I love Christmas tress (YES< THEY ARE CHRISTMAS TREES!) After Halloween, this is my favorite time of year as every house gets decorated and lit up like Vegas and every morning on my drive to work there is some new decoration for me to see.

The smell of pine driving up to Publix is just so amazing.

#21 | Posted by jpw

Depends on how quickly and forcefully the US wants to throw the punch. If the US has anything, it is the capacity and capability to pretty much knock down anybody and damn quickly. Don't confuse our errors and failures in Iraq and Afghanistan with the capacity of the US to win battles. The errors and failures in Iraq and Afghanistan came subsequent to the initial battle operations and were a result of attempting to occupy countries in which they didn't want us or we tried to adapt conventional battle tactics to hit and run guerrillas with AKs, RPGs,and IEDs. Doesn't matter how good your military is, that shit is most difficult to anticipate and defend against.

Remember Vietnam. Very difficult war to fight because battle tactics had changed completely. So you get the Wankers of the world who say that the US military is a paper tiger, a failure. It is anything but that. It is that the US has chosen not to nuke all them commies and allahackbarians sonsabitches straight to Hell in the glow of the Blue Light Special.

Thank the Gods you're not gonna be in command of operations. The NorKs would not be a pushover, as you indicate. They weren't the first time (can you say "stalemate"?) and they certainly won't be the second time.

I think it would be far more impressive if they replaced the idiotic Christmas trees with displays of plentiful food, nice clothes and other goods that N. Koreans would kill for (hopefully Kim Jung Il). I imagine when you are starving a tree with lights on it seems sort of irrelevant and just a spiteful attempt to risk the lives of young soldiers for nothing. I bet none of the decision makers hang out anywhere near where these trees are because they don't want to get shot.

"The NorKs would not be a pushover, as you indicate."

Quite the contrary. The Chinese have stationed a few hundred thousand troops along the NorK border in case they get too uppity. This ain't the 50s and the quelling of the Commie Dragon. The Chinese are very aware of the rogue Nork's potential of upsetting things throughout the Pacific rim. And The Chinese do not want to sacrifice their up and coming preeminence on the world economic stage. If anything, if the NorKs opt to do the dirty, the Chinese would probably step in before we do. And would probably be rather ruthless about it.

Zot and boaz,

I didn't mean could we win, I was asking if our military, after the grind of years in Afghanistan and Iraq with multiple deployments, has the capacity to make it as easy as you're both making it sound. In other words I'm not questioning our technical capabilities but our personnel capabilities.

I don't think thats. Being "down on my country" boaz. I think it's a legit question given a confrontation with NK would not just be with NK.

#36 | POSTED BY DANNI AT 2011-12-12 12:24 PM | REPLY | FLAG

The "trees" are 2 miles from the border.

Why are you such a bitter, hate filled bitch?

As Zot pointed out, it was a stalemate in the 50s because we didn't want to involve the commie dragons, Russia and China.

Now it's a stalemate out of respect for the Chinese, as they would have to deal with the cleanup, as millions of refugees would flood their cities (as they already do in smaller numbers). The Chinese have enough uneducated poor to deal with as it is.

The only reason Iraq and Afghanistan isn't 'easy' is because we are trying to secure the peace. We wouldn't have to take that roll in NK, SK and China would have to.

Don't poke a bear if you don't want to be attacked by that bear.

ZOT the Chinses also do not want to see a united Korea on their border, they like Korea being divided in two. If South and NOrth Korea went to war the Chinese would make sure the south did not overrun the north.

The truth is that the Chinese hate US troops so close to them and would really hate more troops, so they will do all they can to contain North Korea. North Korea knows this too which is why they stir shit, but don't really start shit.

Boaz was indicating invasion and occupation.

I was indicating our ability destroy and obliterate.

The former would be a grind.

The latter would be a matter of stationing a boomer or two off the coast and letting fly, the question being how many to leave alive or how much to leave intact. And checking the prevailing winds at the time so as not to irradiate the Chinese, or the Japanese any more than they already are.

Just pointing out that yes we do have the capability, a fact that the lesser nations on the planet know, but count on us not using our rather substantial capability to literally remove them from the universe.

Uhm... You're a bit foggy on your history there. Suggest you read up on who was involved in the Korean conflict.

Uhm... it was another proxy war. Which didn't end up in a nuclear conflict because of MAD. the first of several.

Did you not know that Russia and China were involved it the Korean conflict? really?

Now the situation is a stalemate because of economics, not bombs. This is our new and more benevolent way of making peace. It's how we 'won' vietnam, with Mcdonalds and Starbucks. instead of napalm.

The Chinese want stability more than anything else. There haven't been any 'flare ups' with NK simply because we and SK respect the need for stability. So we all put up with the annoying little weirdo. And I mean seriously weird.

just found this on google quickly, not vetted, but i've read about several of these things. the guy is a riot.

It's already been done / Large jumbo screen with blaring speakers with the hotest looking dancing girls and singing. Lil Kimmy claimed the same crap then,all talk just like you stupid libs.

I think that if you ever dealt with mentally ill people who can become violent you'd understand better why you don't want to push these people over the edge with meaningless symbolic antagonations. It's like road rage, you can be completely in the right but you don't really want to find out how crazy the people in the other car might be.

The Norks remind me of the Nightmare before Christmas

"Kidnap the Sandy Claws, beat him with a stick
Lock him up for ninety years, see what makes him tick

Kidnap the Sandy Claws, chop him into bits
Mr. Oogie Boogie is sure to get his kicks
Kidnap the Sandy Claws, see what we will see
Lock him in a cage and then, throw away the key"

Yes I have seen them. They are crazy. I think that the term "starving the beast" is appropriate in this case.

The sad part is that it not the people of North Korea who are the problem it is their leaders. Let China foot the bill for these assholes. If China doesn't feed them they will eventually rise up and correct the problem themselves as we have seen elsewhere.

#57 | Posted by donnerboy
The chinese don't feed them now. the people die on the streets from starvation and are pick up by forced students at night. They are brainwashed with whole families that have been born in correction camps and spend thier lives there. The south , The US and Japan have been feeding them and if stupid carter had stayed out of it back in the early 90's it would have lessened the suffereing of the norths people and he would have collapsed. Most North defectors have complained of this many a time , get it over with and stop the suffering of the common people.

Well, not exactly.

Not sure about Japan but the US hasn't feed them for a while and they are feeling the pinch.

the US hasn't fed them... and the problem is now is that any aid sent to them would probably never reach the people anyway.

I say we line the entire border with Christmas trees, and a nativity scene in the middle of them. The light must bother the little short dictator. I am sure that those that have not starved or been cannibalized welcome a bit of joy in their lives. This is the utopia that the left wants for us. JUST GREAT!

in exchange for oil deliveries, the construction of two light water reactors to replace its graphite reactors, and discussions for eventual diplomatic relations.

The agreement was widely hailed at the time as a significant diplomatic achievement.[73] In December 2002, the Agreed Framework collapsed as a result of a dispute between the George W. Bush Administration and the North Korean government of Kim Jong-il. In 2001, Bush had taken a confrontational position toward North Korea and, in January 2002, named it as part of an "Axis of Evil". Meanwhile, North Korea began developing the capability to enrich uranium. Bush Administration opponents of the Agreed Framework believed that the North Korean government never intended to give up a nuclear weapons program, but supporters believed that the agreement could have been successful and was undermined.[74]

In August 2010, Carter traveled to North Korea in an attempt to secure the release of Aijalon Mahli Gomes. Gomes, a U.S. citizen, was sentenced to eight years of hard labor after being found guilty of illegally entering North Korea. Carter successfully secured the release.[75]
