I'm pretty sure the US has enough problems to deal with internally already, without the need for attacking a country that is more than 30 years behind just about everyone else. What is there to fear about North Korea? Ever thought about how people outside the US view us already? We need another war like we need another 100 million people to go on welfare.

Starting wars with weak countries and still somehow still always lose . Using drones over countries in it's self should be an act of war . Using said drones hurting more innocent than targets . Without the consent of nations who's air space they are invading ..
The terrorist state of America abducts people around the world for what ever reason they choose use torture .
They detain people for war crimes but the hypocrite think they are free of such crimes. They breed hate around the world and are a disease on this planet.
Also these terrorists Americans can never afford to repay their debts and resort to just stealing.
DOWN WITH THE TERRORIST STATE OF AMERICA .

So far they are just mouthing off and blowing up their own ordnance.. If they get out of hand, I would think that the countries closer to them would be inclined to deal with them first. How are they a threat to us, really? China is a much bigger threat, if not the biggest. We should destroy them first, right? Oh yeah, they make all our stuff. Can't do that. I guess since NK doesn't manufacture anything expect bombs and propaganda, they are much more expendable.

North Korea scares me more than Iran and Afghanistan, to be honest.

its people are NOT to blaim for the situation, so I don't agree with doing them
for example
the bankers were invested in both the bolshevic and the chines communist revolutions...
the rhetoric justifies a huge US presence that many south Koreans wish would leave...
i wonder what slave labour in a concentration camp might be manufacturing and for whom
someone has to be building the secret ai drone robot army...where could you get more corporate security then in NK?
I just can't helping thinking there is more to this then meets the eye

War will not make things better,NOT EVER. I do realize that violence has been the normal state of affairs for the whole of human history and that fact will never change(some may actually deserve it-90% of us do not). If that MUST be the way we solve our our problems;then I suggest that we do it in the most civilized/honorable way we can-with our bare hands.Or in a manner in which we can at least look each other in the eyes as we bludgeon,stab,dismember,and slaughter each other for no good reason. We can kill each other like civilized monsters;or we can destroy the whole planet.

So you are against war but you don't mind if your beloved country would take out another country swift and quickly just because you feel they are treat. WELL.....I can say a lot of bad things now, but I won't. You need to come of your high horse and back come into reality. Luckily you are not in any position of power, nor will you ever be when you talk like this.

My instincts tell me that we are going to collectively cross "the line". There will be no turning back and I see a storm in front of us. This will unleash the MOB(democracy in it's truest form); an unstoppable force that will rearrange the face of this planet. If we go down this dark road it may be said with certainty that ALL BETS ARE OFF!

I agree with that. North Korea is not in our neighborhood. Just because they are tinkering with nukes doesn't mean they're a threat to the U.S.. They've been ruffling China's feathers lately, let China put them in their place.
All this fear mongering about Iran and North Korea is really just that. I would wager neither Iran nor North Korea's governments are that psychotic as to launch a nuke at the U.S.. Every government in the world today, including China and Russia, know the devastating consequences a nuke attack on the U.S. would be on their country.
The U.S. also knows the devastating consequences if they nuked China or Russia. It's a no brainer, and government officials of these countries all know that. Don't let political posturing by North Korea cause world instability, and call for pressure by the U.S. to react which we will regret later. We're in no position to start another confrontation when our economy is in dire straits. Starting another war will seal our economic doom. We will no longer have a country to defend.
