North Korea test denotates nuclear bomb :(

North Korea test detonates nuclear bomb

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/asiapcf/10/09/korea.nuclear.test/index.html

This can only be bad, and may lead to a new arms race in the area. Iv'e even heard rumor that Japan may develop thier own nuke in response, yikes all around!

:noooo:

 

It's been on the news here today. North Korea is run by probably the biggest nut case yet. As for Japan making a nuke, nothing has been mentioned here.

Why can't we all just get along

When you see pictures like THIS they don't look like such a threat

 

Thanks for that link, joehax. Very intersting pictures there. That Hotel was amazing. Looks liek they had almost completed the outter shell.

until some countries will make wars for bringing order and democracy in other places, the weak places will go for self defence with nukes (think about india and PAKISTAN).

 

Up until I saw those pictures I thought N.Korea was some sort of military powerhouse, then after seeing that I understand why the US doesn't seem too bothered by what they're doing (yes that was over simplified but you get the picture :033

 

Nice link joehax. It was very interesting to see a country under dictatorship (dubbed communism ) and how every citizen puts up with that instead of rioting

 

This is kinda funny (in a bizarre way). Iran wants to mess with nuclear stuff and North Korea test a nuclear bomb and the world go: "WTF?! We need to stop them"

I ask myself everytime i hear stuff like that. Why can't Iran have a nuclear weapon? And North Korean? Because they are "crazy"?!

Well, the USA can have nuclear weapons spreaded from "Utah to Mississipi". And aren't they just as equally crazy? What about India and Pakistan? Why they are called "allieds"? Who is the one who decides who can or can't have a nuclear bomb? What makes this world, so called "civilized", to be sure that an American nuclear bomb is harmless and North Korean bomb threatening?

It's so disturbing that UN as an organization is now a complete joke. They can't help Africa the way they should, they didn't stop Bush invading Iraq without proves (actually this is funny, because they ended up messing on a wasp nest), and they can't even make people discuss this subject in a decent and impartial way.

It's a crazy world. :shrug:

 

Johny, I was wondering the same thing. Iran is a HUGE country with great need in electrical energy. A country like the UK has got so many nuclear powerstations, and it's smaller than Iran. It is understandable that they wish to have access to such energy considering their huge needs based on the population.

You saw the fiasco that happened at Iraq with Sadam's supposed dangerous weapons, now the US are desperate in pulling a Sadam out of the hat for Iran's "dangerous nuclear power"

 

You guys probably don't know this but North Korea set that test off today for a reason. That reason being the wind direction. Yep, today's wind was heading straight across to northern Japan. The place the North Koreans hate the most. The scientists said we'll be ok though since the test was successful. If it was a failure though Japan could receive North Korea's nuke waste in 2 days.

Which is truly no good. For all, not only Japan.

 

I read they did testing and didn't find any leaks....but it's getting harder and harder to trust the early reports these days.

 

Iran has every economic right to pursue nuclear enrichment. What makes it 'threatening' is that they only want to pursue it in a way that can give them other abilities in the future, such as enriching weapons grade uranium. However, that specific way in enriching it to such high quality is also less expensive compared to the newer technology that is out there that UN offered to give to Iran at reduced costs with US footing most of the money for the discount.

The world is crazy, it has been and always will be. Its just a matter of who is crazy enough to blow this place to bits, really. I don't see N. Korea doing the same. The people in N. Korea support Kim because he's doing what he can to keep his country and regime alive, even at the expense of some citizens. You will find the same patriotism in that country you will find in the US and every other country, the same with people who oppose their government and their policies.

It is true that the UN should start focusing less on such political threats (because that is exactly what these things are at the moment, political threats that can lead to actual war) and concentrate on more important things like Africa, Global diseases, conserving natural resources, etc.

 

Why do the N-Koreans hate Northern Japan more than the rest of Japan ?

Ps. They are saying that there isn't a radiation come free.

 

"Who is the one who decides who can or can't have a nuclear bomb? What makes this world, so called "civilized", to be sure that an American nuclear bomb is harmless and North Korean bomb threatening?"

So that's your reasoning for letting North Korea go nuclear....so we can have more nukes in the world because it's only fair? Uh, who are you trying to spite with that logic? Everyone, including yourself?

Let's not pretend that North Korea having a nuke is the same as India or France or America having a nuke. It doesn't matter how creative you can make your argument, it's just not going to overcome common sense.

 

Prob one of the most amazing sets of pictures ive seen. Ive always wanted to visit north korea and now i do even more! Now lets just hope america dont bomb the shit out of them.

Why isnt it? How many countries have actually droped a nuclear bomb on someone? Wouldnt mind seeing a list. I can only think of 1.

 

Simple:
The US, Pakistan, etc. are willing to play by the U.N.'s rules. They have nukes, but only as a "You don't push your button we won't push ours" kinda way.

N. Korea is crazy. Seriously, I know people hate Bush and what not, but he isn't straight up PSYCHOTIC like Kim Jong Il. With such power in his hands, N. Korea attacking Japan or something with said weapons is a VERY possible thing. They don't care about the rest of the world, and if you didn't already gather it from their pictures, they really don't care about their own country either.

Same thing with Iran, they hate Isreal so much that its a very realistic idea that they would use such weapons against them. And once again, their leader is a complete islamic nut job.

Like I said, I know most everyone hates Bush these days, but I doubt he would just start shooting nukes at someone because he hates them. The same cannot be said of N.Korea and Iran. So really, we're just trying to make sure Japan and Isreal don't become parking lots in the next decade.

 

I'm not saying that. And i hope you don't think i'm protecting them. (I'm not that crazy).

I just think it's very wrong to say they are "the bad guys" when the whole world accepts what Mr. Bush does. Trying to rule the whole world, acting like "World Police", ... This is UN job, not USA.

Don't forget because acting like that, stuff like 9/11 happened. And let's not forget trying to solve other people's problem, Vietnam and Iraq are showing that making peace by force is not easy.

Another example of the "World police": Brazil has 2 old Nuclear Power Plants in Rio de Janeiro and the Brazilian army is developing a Nuclear submarine. Still, Bush wanted us to cease this nuclear use or else... they even said it was mandatory a inspection made by them. WTF?

 

I don't think the world "accepts" what Bush does, I think the world just "leaves him alone". They know he won't be in power forever.

 

Sorry Johnny, I can't buy it. I didn't vote for Bush and I was pretty upset when he won, but using the North Korean test to single out criticism of Bush isn't really going to do anything. Neither will bringing up 9/11 which, like the North Korean nuclear issue, came up during the Clinton presidency (yes, I voted for Clinton). Two different foreign policies, same result. It didn't matter what the US did.

And Kim Jong Il is the bad guy...
