North Korea will conduct nuclear test

[Nicholas]

North Korea says it will conduct its first nuclear test to defend itself against the USA's "daily increasing threat of a nuclear war and its vicious sanction."

The statement came from the region’s foreign ministry, and was reported by Pyongyang's KCNA news agency.

Analysts predict the state, which shocked the region in July with a series of missile tests, has enough fissile material to make at least six to eight nuclear bombs but probably lacks the ability to make a weapon small enough to mount on a missile.

North Korea says however, it would never use atomic weapons first and remained committed to the denuclearisation of the Korean peninsula.

"The statement said: "The U.S. daily increasing threat of a nuclear war
When did the U.S threaten Korea with nuclear war?
and its vicious sanctions and pressure have caused a grave situation on the Korean peninsula
Of course the fact that the N.Korean Government is spending most of it's money on party confrences, and building up a second rate army, whilst it's people starve, has absolutely NOTHING to do with it?
Korean nation stands at the crossroads of life and death."
And who's fault is that?

Has any one else noticed that every time the N.Koreans get short on cash, they come up with these threats?

Then when the world agrees to feed their population AGAIN, so That idiot with the fantastic hair style can have even MORE toys and partys, the threat is withdrawn till next time he needs some pocket money?

"If a don't get a bag of sweeties, I'll scweem and scweem till I'm sick" springs to mind.

1953 I believe.

What can you do? Even if he is a pillock those are still men and women dying over there, we couldn't possibly go to war with N.Korea for 2 reasons.

1) China
2) We'd lose even without China.

The N.Koreans are insane, proper insane, I can't see a way around it short of levelling the place from space.

I am not talking ancient history, when have the U.S RECENTLY threatened N.Korea with Nuclear war?

Luckily the Chinese are just as concerned about this as the West. I do not think even Bush would complain TO vigirously, if the Chinese walked into N.Korea.

The Russians are the wild card in this. They seem to be stuck in the old Soviet mind frame. Ie that of "client states".

The Russians won't intercede militarily anywhere these days.

Do they even still have the power to project their military outside their immediate borders? I am not so sure.

[von-Scharnhorst]

They do not have to. The pieces of shit we laughingly call "government", have allowed them to take full control of Europes gas and 60% of it's oil (Heating oil, and that used to fuel power stations, NOT the same stuff as you put in cars) supply.

They have done it once and they are threatening Georgia, with cutting supplys, until Georgia does what they want. (Ukraine, I believe was the other).

They allready control our strategic resources. THAT is basically the first task of the military in any conflict.

So they d not NEED the army to work outside the borders. They just need someone who knows how to turn a tap.
