Sometime yesterday North Korea shot off 4 missles, today they supposedly shot off around 7. The missles cannot cross continents reportedly. Can the United States afford to go to war with North Korea? North Korea is basically in my eyes mocking the US, daring us to fuck with them, and I see no reason for Barack Obama to try and prove the United State's power by getting involved. The dust is just barely settling on the war in Iraq with our troops supposed to be pulling out in a couple years. I've always wondered why the United States was such a nosy state. Thoughts? Opinions?
They're trying to build up the succession of Kim Jong Il's son. They're totally going to say "Look at your new leader. He's spitting in the face of the evil United States." And they'll believe it, because they're told to worship their dictators as gods. When they're taught math, they're taught "You throw a grenade and kill 2 Americans. If you throw another grenade and kill 3 more Americans, how many have you killed?" The North Korean people are putty in the hands of their leaders, as they need to be. If they weren't they'd realize that they have to eat grass while their leaders are splurging on Mercedes and top of the line food. Revolt, much?
You know North Korea is going to far when China and Russia are telling them to stop, lulz. China doesn't want a new, joined Korea that is allies with the US on their doorstep, but they don't want North Korea making any more trouble than absolutely necessary. Russia has learned that North Korea isn't worth worsening ties with America.
There are two ways this ends. North Korea launces a rocket that flies into Hawaiian air space, and the United States fucking goes irrate. You know Obama wouldn't be able to reason the American people out of a war with North Korea if they shoot a missle over Hawaii. Either that, or North Korea finally backs the fuck down when their new leader takes the reigns. If he knows what is good for him, that's what he'll do. Or he's going to go too far, and Obama is going to shove those troops that are fresh from withdrawing out of Iraq up North Korea's ass.
Oh, and we're a nosy state because we're a motherfucking world power. In today's age, it's a global world. Everything everyone does is material. All Western powers are just as nosy. Bush got a little carried away with the Iraq war, true. But when we try to keep North Korea from subjecting South Korea to it's insanity? When we try to keep Iran from murdering it's own, legally protesting citizens? It's our right as a global power.
