There's very little that can be said to make me feel comfortable about being only 600 miles from Korea right now.

The situation there is uncomfortable enough for me here in Utah. I can't imagine what it's like for you and MBN."Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy; its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery." - Winston Churchill

I have to wonder if the American troops in South Korea actually really protect North Korea more. South Korea's GDP is like 30 times more than North Korea's. Given that economic advantage North Korea would be crazy to mess with South Korea even if the US military didn't have a presence there. Of course, their leader is crazy.

The problem is, the crazy NKs have over 10,000 pieces of heavy artillery aimed at Seoul, and could do incredible damage with a conventional 'first strike' before anyone could do anything in retaliation. Kim claims to be able to level the SK capital in a few hours. That claim may not be that over the top...Originally posted by Ted Nugent View PostI have to wonder if the American troops in South Korea actually really protect North Korea more.

Yes, their leader is an absolute nutjob, and he's an evil little bastard who has kept his people repressed and impoverished so he can retain power. He spends so much on his military, that he literally cannot feed his people. But he's a nutjob who wields amazing power over his enemy's capital. It'd take a coordinated series of tactical nukes to take out his conventional hold on Seoul. Good luck with that...Comment

Why do you think the Chinese aren't putting their foot down on this guy. Surely a flare up wouldn't be in their best interest.Comment

Unfortunately, china holds enough of our currency that were we to piss them off financially, they could dump it and make the dollar worth next to nothing.Originally posted by byu71 View PostTe Occidere Possunt Sed Te Edere Non Possunt Nefas Est.Comment

High stakes poker. I don't think the Chinese people would be too happy having the taste of middle class benefits and their leaders throwing it all away to invade Taiwan.Originally posted by camleish View Post
The problem with ideologues though is you never know what extent they would go to for the end results.Comment

Assuming that would be the outcome, aside from all hell breaking lose worldwide, the price of Chinese goods would skyrocket, kicking the Chinese right back in the nuts.Originally posted by camleish View Post
In a weird kind of way we have the Chinese over a barrell; they loan us the money that we then use to buy their stuff which fuels their economy. They pull the plug and they take a hit.Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!
