listen guys, no matter what u hear about NK and their nukes that can hit the USA, they would never ever launch at us, its jus unthinkable. they are jus trying to be all tough, that whole little crap hole would be vaporized by about 100 of our own missiles be4 any fo theirs came withing 30 min of hawaii or the west coast. besides we do have that missile defense system that isnt perfect yet, but this september their adding more interceptor missiles to NORAD facility and to the bases in Alaska. so rest assured...

I think it's best for North Korea not to collapse.
North Korea will take everything else down with it. If it's about to collapse, somebody will do something funny and boom boom, some really bad stuff will happen.

I doubt they've got the balls to do that, and anyhow, there's no point in doing it. It's a no win situation for the NK regime, no matter what they do, and even if they do nothing at all, they'll loose

Why hasn't China established a base in Mexico or even in somewhere like Siberia?

hey, sorry this a a bit long, a couple yrs old i think but interesting:
Chinese Control of the Canal (panama) will give China the ability to block vital food and oil shipments to the U.S....prevent deployment of our navy in times of national emergency...and create an enemy beachhead within striking distance of our cities. Red Chinese J-11 attack jets � each of which can drop 13,000 pounds of bombs � launched from Panama can strike our cities.

i dont know how much of that article was exact in its statements but ill tel u this, if china gets its armed forces in panama, it will be a threat to the continental US, it would be able to stop the us navy from trafficing to the pacific and with all the # in the mideast or where ever it could be a problem, plus theres always the cuban missile theory where china could put long range missiles theere, maybe not nuclear but any missile isnt good.. jus my thoughts...

bro, it is our right or even responsibility as the super power. we have to police the world- ever since the usa became dominent (srry spelling im typin fast and im lazy) after ww2, europe has been peaceful and so has the pacific- remember what the world was like before the usa was a strong power- also lest we forget that the usa isnt trying to nuke the world. we use our nukes only as a deterrence, besides, why should china have to have troops and such near the continental usa? they arent policing the world-infact they have the biggest army in the world so what would they even be worried about? the usa shows no agression-its the rest of the world-dont u realize the usa never goes to war unless it has to (excluding iraq recently i kno but thats terrorism and different)

only 17% or so of USA troops are stationed around the world-suprising isnt it, considering how far stretched thin we are since we only have 1,000,000 or so troops, we have 80,000 or so in germ, 100,000 in iraq (not counted in that i believe) 30 or so in korea, but our troops arent a threat unless attacked-thats the usa troop stance, dont fire unless fired upon. we arent at war, we are at peace. we r trying to stop terrorism, anyway china has no reason to station missiles or such near the continetal usa, which is my point...
