I'm not worried about it...nothing I-as one person-can do about it.

Just continue on with life as planned.

Ignorance is bliss, indeed.

No need to throw insults..really.

I truly hope this won't happen. It could be a catastrophic error on NK's side. I am reading everything I get my hands on about this but I'm not going to alter my life over something that you and I--as individuals--really have no control over.

But each of us had a lot of control over it. You used your control the last time you went to the ballot box. You used your control when you did or didn't write to your congress people. You used your control when you did or didn't write that letter to the editor. You use your control when you buy stuff advertised on either faux or CNN and increase their ability to editorialize. Yes, you had control, but by now it is all on autopilot.

I'll disagree. Our vote does not specifically state how the administration will respond-it is entirely in the hands of our military leaders.

North Korea has declared the "Cease Fire" ended. This is a declaration of war.
The world is showing great restraint by not making pre-emptive strikes.

If he does release a rain of missiles, it will prove he is either crazy or stupid. I can see no positive outcome for North Korea in it.

Someone needs to make him a nice hot mug of calmthehelldown. Only question is will it be microwaved?

Just so's ya remember.
This was recorded by Lehrer back in about 2008.
And he wrote it years before then.
Who's next?
Realism is scary sh=t, eh?

The song rings true today......
'Who's next?'

Now we know......'Who's next.'

The message is clear to NK, stand down or suffer the consequences. Your choice.

That's all good & well when there are leaders with common sense inside, however when dealing with a megalomaniac, it's the people that suffer on all sides.

With their culture, saving face is all that matters!

I simply wonder if our press is unable to see his face enhancing exit strategy for all his BS.

Just what would that be, Gary?

It's OK....
Leaked report says that NK can arm a missile with a nuke.
But with 'low reliability'.
How much reliability do you need with a nuke, anyway?

And they are trying to downplay the leak...

they can load whatever they want on a missle. They don't have a reentry sheild that will work so anything that is sent up will just burn on reentry. Oh lets not forget that we currently have anti missile missiles that work superbly at knocking any satelite or missile out of the sky.

Never intended to do anything at all and he will proclaim victory when the scheduled war games end.

Let's all hope it ends as peacefully as that.

Amen to that, Chris.

Whereupon their high heeled soldiers can escort them to be regaled by their tales of bravery.

The 2 missiles he's got pointed east are supoosed to not have warheads on them ,1 report I read says that it's a product demo so he can sell them to Iran like he has done to that other backstabbing country Pakistan ! .As for the report he has a small nuke that can be put on a missile mmm sounds a bit like the C.I.A are up to there old tricks again remember Iraq had W.M.D until we got there
Why they are doing that is beyound me . The C.I.A . We all no he's a nutter send in the seal's or our special forces the S.A.S and be done with it I say before he get's to cosy with Iran or then we gona be in big do do
Shorely he doesn't think O'bama is gona sit there a just take it he would be better to remind himself or what O'bama did to Bin Laden I don't think he's a man to trifle with if push comes to shuv

All I can say is, Wow has this guy got some brass ones.

Glenn, the problem with taking him out is that the military in NK is also run by nutters..

All I can say is, Wow has this guy got some brass ones.

One can only hope they do not get too much for him to hold.

Barry Az I agree doesn't look like there are much choices but if he get's to cosy with Iran and we or the chinese go in then Iran mite start up and oh boy I don't even wish to think about what will happen and who else is going to join in

Pakistan is mainly a muslim country with nukes and the missiles to put them on even if there not I.C.B.M 's oh boy taking fat kim out now mite just make them all think again
