Topaz Posted April 6, 2017 Report Posted April 6, 2017 On the news yesterday, an US Intel.military agent said that a nuke war is very close to happening and that clock is at 3 minutes before 12 and many people don't realize this. Do u believe this? Quote
betsy Posted April 6, 2017 Report Posted April 6, 2017 (edited) It's hard not to believe it. North Korea has been provided with time - as the UN go through with its bureaucracy of trying to get everyone to agree what to do, and the endless sanctions they'd given to N Korea (which obviously doesn't work on N Korea) - we can't really say if indeed N Korea can hit any nation with its nuke or not. We're talking a really nasty scenario of mass destruction, that could wipe out a small country and bring such devastation to everyone. If intel says yes, Quote North Korean Defector Tells Lester Holt ‘World Should Be Ready’ http://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/north-korean-defector-tells-lester-holt-world-should-be-ready-n741901 I think we have to believe that it can, on the side of caution. To assume that yes, N Korea is very much close to being capable. Edited April 6, 2017 by betsy Quote
Altai Posted April 6, 2017 Report Posted April 6, 2017 Ofcourse no, I believe that someones are planning to shot some countries with nukes using the name of North Korea. So North Korea is just a tool. 1 Quote "You cant ask people about their belief, its none of your business, its between them and their God but you have to ask them whether or not they need something or they have a problem to be solved."

PIK Posted April 6, 2017 Report Posted April 6, 2017 NK should have been bombed along time ago, but now we have to deal with a idiot with nukes. If Israel had never took out Iraqs nuclear program, I wonder how things would be today. Quote Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.
Topaz Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Posted April 6, 2017 Apparently, US presidents have to take some blame of what N.Korea is today., but the biggest fear is what will China and Russia reactions be IF the US goes alone, militarily? http://nypost.com/2016/01/06/you-can-thank-jimmy-carter-and-bill-clinton-for-north-koreas-nukes/ Quote

Topaz Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Posted April 6, 2017 BC....did u read my link...it WASN'T Canada that gave them 2 reactors, it was the US! Quote

Right...Canada gave other countries reactors that became nuclear powers already (Pakistan, India). Either way, why is it a U.S. problem only to stop DPRK nukes ? What is Canada doing about it ? Update: The Agreement Framework replaced graphite based reactors (easier plutonium) with light water reactors. Edited April 6, 2017 by bush_cheney2004 Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

The problem is that South Korea, Japan, and even China would/could be attacked with massive conventional forces (artillery, rockets). Quote Economics trumps Virtue.

I don't think it's a coincidence that N Korea is acting up in the prelude to China's president coming to see Trump. No doubt he will offer to quiet them down in exchange for Trump ignoring all that stuff about trade imbalances he's been talking about.
