lovelomsak Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) You have to give this country respect. They refuse to be told what they can do by any nation.We maynot agree with them on how they see the world,but must respect them for saying they will defend their right to do it their way.The country may not be liked but should get respect for not letting foreign countries boss them around.They have their policies on governing and will defend it. The big powers need a roque nation like this to remind them they cannot control the whole world.They certainly do not kiss ass. They feel they can be heard too and keep peace as long as no one makes problems in their area of the world.

oneday Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Keep the peace? Oh, thank goodness, I thought they wanted to bomb the US. I feel so much better now. Respect?

I wonder if the NK people would agree with how their country is being run. Well actually USA is the only country to have ever used nuclear weapons. They used them after their opponents already surrendered and they used them on civilian populations. Since then the USA have engaged directly or indirectly in over 2 dozens major wars and invaded several nations. So my question is: How brainwashed are you?

asiabill Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 America made plans to use nuclear weapons against N. Korea during the Korean War. The war has never ended, America's plans have never been rescinded and every year the Americans practice their bombing runs. The American reaction to the North's bomb test? To practice another bombing run with a B52 bomber. North Korea is just so irrationally paranoid, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
