DPRK, Non-Aggression Pact, and Nukes

Post by jegs2 »

The following article reports on the request of the DPRK for a non-aggression pact between themselves and the US, prior to their dismantling their nuclear weapons program:

I voted to leave things as they are.

That's not entirely accurate though. I would hope that we'd keep a closer eye on NK but I definately don't think we should try and invade. Also, anything that pushes too much on NK's already weak economy could end up causing more problems. I'm not inclined to send them more financial or other sort of aid either. You don't reward people for lying to you.

In response to their desire to have a non-aggression treaty, our State Department should send them a fax with a drawing of a birdy finger on it.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Screw Iraq! We need to preemptive strike these assholes. I doubt anyone could give a reason why invading North Korea would be immoral?

This is a first, a non aggression pact while still at war..

North Korea can wait, in Iraq the guns have already been firing for four years. However I'd bet a load of B-61-11's has recently been assembled.

I don't think the US has any right to have at other nations for developing nuclear weapons or creating a stronger military. For gods sake, how can they criticise Iraq for allegedly creating NBC weapons when the US continues to have the worlds largest stockpiles of all of these?

And your evidance for that would be?

Lemme give you a hint though, Whos Invasion Plan Ten years Ago stilled Called for a Massive Chemical Attack before the rush of Tanks Forward?


Oh and it should be noted Wicked Pilot...

WHERE ARE WE GOING TO BASE FROM TO ATTACK NK!

SK has already said No(Press Realsed Yesterday) You must be High if you Think China Will...
So where does that leave us? Basing out of Japan?(Who does not want that because it makes them a target)

How do you purpose we get troops into NK given the fact we lack tremdious amounts of Anhibius Assets and China has already hinted they would support NK if we attacked?

Frankly lets get Saddam while we can and use the war to finance rebuilding the Military then worry about NK

Violation of the treaty that ended the Gulf War.

I know that its in violation of the treaty for Iraq to be developing NBC weapons...

However every time Shrub stands up and waxes lyrical about the danger of other, non United States-nations developing weapons of mass destruction I feel nauseous.

If you are really willing to volunteer to be one of the first troops in combat then I will give the thumbs up for being a person that puts their money where their mouth is.

Well, I'm in the Air Force, not the Army, so that isn't really possible. However, if given the chance, I'd volunteer to drive the first F-15 across the parallel.

You can only really know, what you would do when the situation arises. Dont be so eager for combat, wars get people killed. There is no spawn point, no coming back, no closure for those who lose loved ones. Especially, when very few people are supporting you.

Just on a curious note, do you really like the USAF? Do you mind telling me what you do? I just like to hear about peoples experiences.
