North Korea prepares for more nuke tests - US main target

[Raiju]

i will if you buy me a beer.

I'll let it slide for the "hold my beer" reference, at least i hope it was

@Howdyho so Japan and S.Korea choose to associate with scum? When japan was on the mainland korea didn't exist. The whole reason korea divided was not wanting to be associated.

That's another thread. If you want to make it then I will happily debate without merits there.

Fixed that for you.

It's amazing how many people cannot grasp the gravity of maniacs with access to weapons that can reduce entire cities to dust.

I know, but as the USA is the only nation to ever use such weapons, and for dubious political reasons at that, refused to engage in disarmament, and has the largest stockpile of such weapons and is increasingly developing more weapons, not to mention weaponising space with military shuttles and starting a new global arms race with its push for a missile defense system.....

I'd be careful trying to take the moral high ground on this issue.

I highly suggest you read up more on the Cold War and the concept of MAD before posting on that topic again.

if they really attacked the usa do you really think the usa would be reluctant to retaliate? :S

i was too predictable

The USA never used them on anyone that didn't really deserve it.

People crying for Germany or Japan and the atrocities they committed during WW2 really ought get a perspective on things.

They did bad things so we can do them too?

[Crashdummy]

when you're country is as secretive and openly provocative as it is it you should expect that people will be filling in the blanks with their own ideas. If N. Korea were more open then we might not be in this situation. We might even be friends.

NK is less secretive than US, and just as provocative.

I'm really scarred they are gonna do a "missile test." Be kinda funny if we had a ship shoot down their missile when they tested it just to prove a point to them. They don't have anything close to our missile technology.

Using the nukes actually in all probability saved Japanese lives.

You never cared about the "atrocities" Japan committed, you were just butthurt about pearl harbor and how they totally trashed you there.

How about no.

[Rukentuts]

How about no.

Yes, that's why I have linked sources and you have not.

[Wikko]

Why should only the US have nukes? It makes no sense to keep your own and keep shouting at else for having them. There are some crazy people in power in USA aswell.

Its not another thread, since its the same subject. The right every nation has to develop weapons to defend themselves. Today we have an hipocrit system that allows some nations to develop this kind of weapons and others cant.

Check the quote again for sources. Don't see any.

The USA is far from the only country with nukes.

Check the post again, I clearly see a hyperlink.

Are you going to refute it or not?

If Pyongyang managed to nuke Anchorage, or even Seattle, would the US be justified in nuking the hell out of Pyongyang? If we didn't respond that quickly and decisively, would it result in additional US cities being hit?
