Korea? - The Firearms Forum

Any thoughts on the current sabre rattling by N Korea?

Vladimir · 03-09-2009, 02:32 PM

North what?

The proof of the pudding will be in what the US does if N. Korea fires that missile. There's not much doubt we can take it out; the question is whether Obama has the cajones to give the order. I'm betting he doesn't . . . and so are the N. Koreans.

They can see that he is a weak president and the rest of our enemies can too. And his mistreatment of the U.K. doesn't help our situation any. Unfortunately we will be the ones who pay. His presidency is an open invitation to terrorists.

All the "un-friendly" nations are testing the new administration....not only the North Koreans, but the Chinese messed with some of our Navy ships this weekend. Obama's statigy of appeasment will get us in trouble and only signal that we are weak.

Personally I don't believe that little midget over there hasn't the stomache for a fight. However I do believe that the little nun-chuck swinging pee ant may just start one by accident. North Korea has a lot of soldiers that these days would translate into a lot of bodies should they try and take on he west.

So, you dont think much of him then?

jacksonco · 03-09-2009, 03:39 PM

He has thought that he has the US and the rest of the world under his heel since he came to power after his old man died. One would have to doubt the true readyness of his armies. It takes a huge bank roll to finance any army of that size. They are poor beyond misery over there. But in reality they are more of a 1950 style fighting force and would fail miserably against a modern army.

However, He may make a good party guest because it seems he is good at playing games.

The children of the gray kingdom are testing their new babysitter to see how annoying they can be without getting slapped on the butt.

I see it as "We are still broke. Send more money and we'll behave (for awhile.)"

Help a socialist: Give him money so he doesn't have to work for a living.

PO a socialist: Spend your own money on frivolous things like food, rent, fuel, housing, etc.

They're trying to see if they can get some food. That's about all there is to it. Worked with Clinton.

I think that little S.O.B. is crazier than a sprayed roach!!! I would not at all put it past him to think NOW is the perfect time to create an 'incident' where he can try to achieve N.Korea's long held goal of 'unifying' the two Korea's. He sees we have a weak president, and he sees we have a lot of our military assets tied up in Iraq and Afghanistan. He probably thinks that barry would do little or nothing, not that we couldn't, but because our 'great' leader would not want to piss off China. Plus, barry would not want to deal with another Socialist state when he is so busy creating his own!
