North Korea threatens to use nukes against the U.S.

[Gandalf]

Personally it always cracks me up when North Americans get really worked up about North Korea. It is all just rhetoric and nothing ever happens (almost). It seems unless you live in constant fear then you have no right to live and most of the people under the most 'threat' barely pay it any attention and I kind of agree with that. North Americans with their terrorists and fears. Always fear and panic. What are you scared of Mars? According to polls South Koreans fear America more than North Korea and I bet that applies globally. Clean up your own yard first after all Hiroshima was not carried out by North Korea and North Korea is not invading anyone else. They do however, treat their people like shit and that sucks. Only despicable nations torture and kill people without being charged with crimes.

Harsher UN sanctions for nuclear testing is just absurd. I mean look at the numbers of nuclear tests carried out in history by numerous nations, some in massive numbers and plenty of those nations rogue, and suddenly North Korea is mad and out of control. Terrible yes, but apply the same standards to all, and on more than nukes. If you steal my schoolbag too you can be sure I will call you 'cunt' and will shout a bit. Then a gang will come and beat me up properly. That is global politics. It is just about who is louder and stronger. Most just want to get on with life and do. It is a few bullies who want to control who are the issue. Telling them, 'do it our way, change your hair, and let us control your dinner money' isn't an option. Real change takes serious intentions and time investment.

I would urge the US to keep out and let China control this as China at least knows how to speak to North Korea. They know how to talk to the kid without making him stomp his feet too much and it is just grandstand footstomping at best. He knows he will be alright as he stole pretty much everything from the year below and knows he is tidied over. There is no point hurting all them more as well. Time and patience, teach the kid that better things can happen to those that evolve. Otherwise, it is just the status quo for now. If North Korea is to ever change it is the China model first. Not that I like the model, but it is the way it is.
