But North Korea is the topic of the conversation here. Israel doesn't make threats on a daily basis that they will nuke Iran into non-existence, so I don't know how your statement is relevant. | ||||

| AFAIK, Israel has never attacked Iran ever, and hasn't Iraq in almost 30 years. | ||||

| Common sense should have that India and Pakistan would be more likely to come to blows then either of those scenarios. Especially considering that Israel is a country what, roughly the size of New Jersey, and there's some 1000-odd miles between the two. Both sides would lose too much, Israel would be obliterated but Iran would be decimated, as no doubt Israels arsenal would be larger. As for NK, from what I've read their missile range doesn't yet include any American target, and we have ballistic defense measures in the Pacific, so any attempt from NK to nuke the US would likely just end up nuking the open ocean, followed by the consequences of such a suicidal move. | ||||

| NK cannot strike the US in any effective manner at the moment. While I completely disagree with what they are doing I find it odd that the world believes it should be able to tell NK not to develop nuclear weapons, but Pakistan is allowed. | ||||

Of course it has to be public. You ignorantly claimed that my statement was false implying that Israel "threatens" to "nuke" Iran on a "daily" basis. How is this relevant? That isn't even the argument. What the hell are you talking about? Last edited by The Great Catpiss; 06-27-2009 at 04:33 AM.. | ||||

| NK can strike the US and our allies with weapons more destructive than nukes. While they wont win any war with the US, they can certainly do enough damage. | ||||

Leave people alone, they have no reason to threaten us...attack us...bother us. | ||||

| No, you fail to see things you don't want to see. Your fear is apparently blocking all ability of your senses to operate. Originally Posted by The Great Catpiss What does that even matter?

You're telling us we have to be preemptive against a country that's not even a threat. Well Israel IS a threat to Iran and in your logical quagmire, Iran is justified for threatening Israel and attacking them preemptively. But I am 100% certain you think Iran bad Israel good. Hypocrisy. Idiocy. Call it what you want.

Israel has nukes. Israel has plans to strike Iran. Seems like a threat to me. Yay Iran! Destroy those bastards before then can do any damage! | ||||

| They will likely attack SK, and maybe Japan - and do a great deal of damage in terms of lives if they believe they are going to lose power. | ||||

| Unlike Iran, NK doesn't have strong reform movements (even if their reformers tend to only be Islamic-nationalist partisan distractions). Unlike Iran, NK has no youth movements looking to express themselves in new and progressive ways. Unlike Iran, NK has no large numbers of ppl looking toward a future of more social, cultural and economic liberalization. Unlike Iran, NK's ppl are heavily indoctrinated since birth to love Kim as their father and patron saint, and most importantly, unlike Iran, NK is completely cut off from the rest of the world. (This may change in Iran to a degree if things keep up, but even still, Iran's doors of change have been opened, and the ppl's foot has been inserted. In NK, they basically have a half Taliban-esque regime, half pseudo-religious wacko-cult, and worse still, its been that way for over 2 generations now. An invasion of NK, might be quite a difficult task, as its highly unlikely that any outside force could ever be greeted as liberators, and much more likely to be treated as inhuman monsters from the unholy world of capitalism. There may be few if any civilians, and worse off they have nuclear weapons now and are talking about using them, and moreover there's no way to be sure if they are serious or not, as they're not likely to be thinking in terms we can understand anymore... | ||||
