N. Korea: It can launch pre-emptive strike

Re: RE: N. Korea: It can launch pre-emptive strike

I suppose the North Koreans have reason to "bait" the United States....let's not forget the Korean War.
I happen to agree that if pre-emption is "good" for one country,there's no reason why another cannot adopt the same stance.
Canada cannot afford,militarily,to preempt any other nation....just don't have the manpower and firepower for it.(Though our taking over the Turks and Caicos has a certain panache about it,lol).
About a year ago,North Korea verbally ranted about their nuclear capability and George Bush said"Let's talk"....no threats of pre-emptive strikes or of ridding the world of an "evil" dictator.Of course,North Korea enjoys the protection of China, a nation certainly capable of pre-emptive strikes.

Yes let's not forget the Korean War. That is when tens of thousands of North Koreans invaded South Korea for no cause. And then they got their butts kicked all the way to China until the Chinese had to bail them out.

It was the N. Koreans that said "Let's talk" and not Bush. The US has refused unilateral discussions with N. Korea.

North Korea has an insane approach to international relations. Take for example their famine. They were starving to death and instead of reaching out to the world community for help they threaten war.

"Feed us or else!"

That is N. Korea for you.

With you lot it's, Oil us or else!

Re: RE: N. Korea: It can laun

Wouldn't it be O/K for your good buddies Canukistan to have nukes EagleSmack, lend us some and see what it's like to live with loaded nieghbours, on hair triggers.

Why don't you build your own?

Why are you always looking for a hand out?

Are you saying that if you did have them you would have hair trigger fingers?

We don't need nukes... just intimate that we've got them. It's not like US intelligence would know one way or the other. :wink:

This is what we were going to do, but because of your security leak we can't trust that they won't catch on.

But Laraby was hiding under the Desk, and Agent 13 was in the bookcase...

The term "preemptive" means to strike and preempt the enemy from retaliating. Korea have maybe a half dozen nukes if they have any. If they launched their six nukes against the states, they would likely get 38 back in the next half hour. Russia or the U.S. were not capable of preemptive attacks on each other and they had thousands of nukes. North Korea doesn't have a hope.
