49th Parallel
Things are starting to look a bit dicey in that part of the world.

Re: 49th Parallel
i think that's what he's refering to and if so i agree it's not looking good at all at the moment!

Re: 49th Parallel
i know what you mean, but if it does go ape i really do think we could end up with nasty repocussions for us and those who live in the part of the world. even though we are on the other side of the world.

Re: 49th Parallel
I don't think much will come from it. Although the north are nuts I don't think they're stupid enough to actually go through with anything as they're facing being whiped off the earth within a matter of hours. All they've ever done is make threats and small actions to provoke a response. I don't know why the yanks don't just send an assassin in a pop that kim jong nob head off, same for that other nut case in Iran

Re: 49th Parallel
I think we're pretty much ok. If it's gonna go it is better it does it sooner since their rockets are only improving. Right now they'd be hard pressed to hit much but china and Siberia..

Re: 49th Parallel
It is simply sabre rattling and posturing in order to demand the world relaxes the sanctions if they then wind down their threats of military action. Every one breathes a little easier and North Korea continues as the last Stalinist state.
The issue with any military action is it will drag in China. China doesn't want to get involved, there is no benefit to them. But it cannot be seen to abandon its neighbour. Whilst we think North Korea would be a push over to modern warfare. Add China to the equation and things look a lot different.

Re: 49th Parallel
Also the US has been to war with Korea. It was not a foregone conclusion, and not very popular at home.
