America enters Nuclear War!

[Matt]

No, this isn't one of thesumofgod's crazy conspiracy threads...This is probably something PALADIN would've pointed out the second it happened, so I dedicate this thread to his memory.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but just a fun little side note to this North Korea getting nukes thing. Since the United States is technically still at war with North Korea (we are currently in year 53 of the cease-fire), two Nuclear powers are at war....so, the United States is currently engaged in a nuclear war. Fun side note, huh?

You totally lost my attention then.

 

[bored]

Damn, hadn't thought of it that way.

 

[rdh007]

We suck.

 

[The Lizard]

Interesting point about the 53-year cease-fire, but I think two opposing sides actually have to use their nuclear weapons on each other for a "nuclear war" to take place.

I'll hide under my desk

^I agree. Technically, you may be right, but it doesn't carry the weight of an actual nuclear war. Once a bomb or two is dropped, then it will be a true statement.

 

[DOG LIPS]

So... um... what are the actual odds of getting super powers over death or horrible mutation?

We'd just get prostate cancer.

Of course, it is just a technicallity, but it is true none the less. Just thought it interesting to point out.

Kim Jong just wants attention, plain and simple. His country is in economic ruin and eventually it will collapse under it's own weight.

It's economy and it's effect on it's neighbors is probably the worst we have to fear from them. Kim Jong has no plans, nor will nuke a super power. Sorry, it's not happening. His economy cannot take a war right now, he's more likely to blow up his own country at this point.

Oh and his generals hate him more than we do.

F--k! just when I thought done they pull me back in.

The one thing worse than North Korea nuking another country is North Korea falling apart.

 

[NyteWing]

On one level, it's understandable. NK wants the US to not invade, and nuclear power is the only thing we can't topple. However, no one has talked about invading NK for about 40 YEARS, plus we're overly extended already. Is it worth starving your entire nation to keep out a country that has no interest in going in in the first place?

Its the Sequel to that wacky ol' Soviet Union.

Well that's what is going to happen.

How's that worse? People get fed, a nut's taken out of power. All we have to do is make sure the bombs get recovered.

[NyteWing]

Hahaha, I remember seeing stuff like that in my Nuclear and Space Age class. Like ducking under your desk is gonna save you from a megaton explosion.

 

[DOG LIPS]

That's right kids, duck... and cuvah.

 

[deemar325]

Well that's what is going to happen.

It couldn't happen to a better country.t:

Remember to put duct tape on your windows as well.

McDonald's is going to do that for a lot of you, anyway.

Fun Fact: The United States never declared war on North Korea!

Why is Iraq worse with Saddam out of power. Why is the Afgahnistan worse with the Taliban out of power. Stability my friend. The fall of North Korea can have serious repricusions on the entire Asian community.
