You do sound a little like a TV character from many moons ago.. Kenny Everett's General Cheeseburger..

I can't believe it.....

North Korea has murdered so many, continues to murder, (not to mention it's own people), threatens everything under the sun, respects nothing or no one, freely kidnaps and kills with impunity, proliferates nuclear material to terrorists and nobody has the guts to stand up against it.

It is only a matter of time before Seoul gets nuked and what about those lives? Why is it wiser to allow these maniacs to grow stronger and more devious as they threaten ever more and with greater ferocity?

How is cowering better? How long do we cower? Why don’t so many of YOU want to stand up to this constant and ever growing threat against innocent people? Is it because it’s not local to your homes and your lives? You don’t care about the people of South Korea? About Japan? Taiwan? Should the world turn their backs on you when aggression threatens?

We have become pathetic.

Abductions of foreign nationals by North Korea

Here are some links which just go to show how foul the North korean regime is. I have been following the subject for a number of years and the first link in particular.

Megumi Yokota - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Korean abductions of Japanese - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
North Korean abductions of South Koreans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Korean POWs detained in North Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

How on earth did they manage to get kidnapped people from Europe to North Korea!
Most of you are probably aware of the above links but thought I would post them anyhow.

If you could remove the anti flash glasses for a moment, read and inwardly digest some of what has been written above, you MAY find some enlightenment that sways your war mongering stance.

FYI I don't believe anyone who has posted so far actually purports to SUPPORT North Korea either.............

North Korea is China's business. Let them deal with it.

I am sorry Chin Mae.....

We have become too fat and lazy to fight. My people are afraid. It is our shame not yours.

If I could leave my wheelchair, I would fight with you my son....like my father did before me.

Be careful what you wish for Spadhampton. It it turns into the shooting war you are so enthusiastic about starting, God only knows where it will lead to. A bit like World War One, I don't think anyone could predict which direction world events might take - except to say it will be totally unpredictable with enormous 'collateral damage' in areas far, far away from Korea.

Far from being a troll, Spad is obviously a music critic:

Uh-huh. Acid house is clearly the way forward. All is clear!

It may have escaped your notice but most of our 'pathetic' armed forces are a little busy right now.

How about the people of South Korea, Japan and Taiwan give us a bit of a helping hand in Afghanistan. When we are finished there we can then pop over to Korea and sort that out for you!

Your posts are extremely insulting to the memories of all the US, British and Commonwealth servicemen who died 60 years ago fighting for the bloody place. My late Auntie would have much preferred her husband to have returned in a wheelchair rather than a bodybag.

So please take your warmongering elsewhere.

Spad, lets be honest, nobody wants to go decommissioning Trident over the North - stating to use buckets of sunshine anywhere these days is a sign that something truly catastrophic is about to go down. Its just not sensible these days.

The big danger here is that the sinking of the Chenoan is a result of the military side of the regime getting pissed off and acting of their own accord, and that old "Herro" didnt actually order the attack himself. They then start doing things how they want them to be done, and thats how wars are started.

Any conflict involving S. Korea will almost certainly involve the US getting dragged in one way or another, thus leading to things being iffy with China. Nobody, in Washington or Beijing wants this. Its just too damned dangerous.

Things in the North are dire enough as they are without them kicking off and getting into a scrap. They are on the verge of a biblically large famine, they have two-fifths of f*ck-all fuel reserves left, they are low on arable land available, and China has told them to do one the last time they asked for an increase in food aid. The World Food Programme estimates that food aid will run out at the end of next month.

They arent in any position to launch a sustainable campaign for the reunification of the Korean peninsular. That doesnt mean they wont - but what it more likely means is that the country will crumble.

The danger is that the military might start doing their own thing (See 2nd paragraph). An unstable country with unstable leadership and a big bloody defence force toe-to-toe with its biggest rivals who are already twitchy enough as it is may turn out to be a recipe for disaster.

I dont think the South will be the ones to initiate any form of action. If its anything, imho, sanctions against the North will force them to take some action against the South.

Going to be an interesting few months.
Matt.

No time to be "careful".....

North Korea WILL attack. It's only a matter of time.

So do we give them the advantage or not? If we give them the advantage more South Koreans will die than if we take the advantage.

It is inhumane to expect people to live under such constant and growing threat. You people that publicly demonstrate for one thing or another comforter need to stand up and demonstrate for the protection of the South Korean People. Life is basic. Way of life, unfortunately, must be defended. These are primary, not abstract.

I'm sorry to say I was wrong (wong). After this little tirade, Spad has let the mask slip just a shade too much:

No time to be "careful".....
North Korea WILL attack. It's only a matter of time.

So do we give them the advantage or not? If we give them the advantage more South Koreans will die than if we take the advantage.

Way of life, unfortunately, must be defended. These are primary, not abstract.
From this, I understand that Spad is demanding that we attack the DPRK immediately. This is presumably only in the interest of the DPRK and therefore, ladies and gentlemen, as the DPRK is an authoritarian state, I conclude that Spad is in fact the nom-de-Pprune of Kim Jong-Il himself.

Therefore, on behalf of us all, may I be the first to welcome "Dear Leader" to our humble forum......

Great theory Squirrel 41.

However, I suggest you have a look at some previous posts by aforementioned Spad.

Seems it isn't just N Korea he wants to wipe off the map, but some parts of Africa apparently deserve the same treatment.

So he could be Robert Mugabe!

Have you ever seen Kim Jong-Il and Mugabe in the same room? We should be told!

Well...reports from South Korea say....

that the average South Korean citizen is not worried about the North attacking because they "have heard all this before" coming from the north.

Well then....Never Mind.

;-)

South Korean citizens have lived with the North threatening to invade and to destroy Seoul every year for the past 50 odd. It's what the North does.
In return the South looks at the North as a weak and sickly brother that can not help what it does because it knows no better and deserves pity.
I'm sure you are familiar (? I doubt it) with the statue at the war museum in Seoul which illustrates this mind set?
