So, can we just give North Korea to China? We should call up China and tell them that they can have the whole country, as long as they replace the leadership.

Why on earth would the Chinese want NC when they already own us and they didn't have to lift a finger?
We blew it in North Korea just like we're blowing it with Iran.
I believe in preemptive strikes. I know a lot of you will strongly disagree with me. Sorry. It's much easier to defend against a nuclear warhead before it's manufactured than it is to deal with it after it's been launched.
North Korea, Iran, Pakistan.......... Does anyone really believe that their nuclear programs/weapons will never be used by a fanatic at some point in time?
We live in a really nasty world, and self defense is our right against insane regimes that tell us that they want to destroy us BEFORE they even have the capacity to do so. World opinion be damned. Eliminating a real threat is not immoral - it's common sense. Period.
I make no apologies. What should we do? Negotiate ANOTHER agreement and pay them off while givng them more time to break yet another agreement? Call the police and tell them that they're threatening us? Wait until Anchorage gets melted?
We need to galvanize the sane world and act as one. Just because we're unable (read:clueless) to do that doesn't mean we should abandon diplomacy entirely and resort to a unilateral strike. I don't like the global state of affairs any more than you do Ken, but we are no longer powerful enough or unified enough to withstand the $hit storm that kind of action is bound bring right back to us.Quote:

This will give them a tiny but of land to spread out and also to test all their new military stuff. It will give us a chance to see how they use their new toys without being on the receiving end. And, at the end of the day, we will be left with the same amount of countries with nuclear capability and one less threat.Quote:

Don't know if you're kidding, FM (it is funny) but just in case you're not...
Last I recall, we don't own NC, so how would we exactly give it to China? In fact if China wanted it, China would take it without asking us for permission.
I'd say we've got bigger fish to fry right here at home and in few other locales where our people are paying with their lives for exactly nothing.
Yes, mostly said tongue in cheek. I guess I am more curious as to why China hasn't already done it. Are we holding them back? Do they want a buffer, or an easily maintained thorn in our side? Can we at least just tell China that it is okay with us if they wanted to add a little land?
Actually we do own NC. I realize of course that some of 2D's antics have the politicians rethinking that. Now ---- NK on the other hand.:innocent:Quote:

Their use of cyber espionage and technological/scientific thievery makes them even more dangerous than your usual thug suspects like Iran and NK.
That's why I'm sick to my stomach that we're in debt to them. If I see a product with "Made in China" on it, it stays in the store.Quote:

At this point, I'd rather do without.
I still can't beleive that the north Korea leader Kim, is threatening us with war! We could stomp the snot out of them in 2 hours, then spend the next 4 years rebuilding their infrastructure! Boy that would teach them!
My biggest concern is all of the chemical artillery shells that would land on Seoul.Quote:

It's estimated that they have several thousand chemical weapons, many of which are artillery fired. They've had them for over 2 decades. They also have some biologicals. The nukes are their newest WMD.Quote:

Then just pull back and say, Okay kim, the next time we have to come over here we will bomb everything!Quote:
