What is North Korea Capable Of?

So don't push them? They've done a test, oh well, we do tests all the time. Why should Korea not be allowed to test nukes, just because they aren't in America's little circle of friends?

Actually, I think a while ago the UN assigned 5 nations with the veto power. Along with that came the right to possess nuclear power. Those countries are Great Britain, United States, China, France, and Russia. So obviously, North Korea isnt one of them. It wasnt the USA's decision who holds the power, it was the UN.

So that's why North Korea apparently shouldn't be testing nukes, because it shouldnt even have them.

dey can stick their bombs up their bum holes, and rotate on them.

They fought and won the Vietnam War for nuclear power, I think that entitles them to use it.

Well if you think that's the problem, then you have a problem with UN regulations, not the USA's "little circle of friends"

[BL!NKEY]

NK was making a point when they tested the nuke.

They want to have a one on one discussion with the US

we dont want to do that because it gives them leverage as a country and makes them look like a super power.

We dont want to recognize NK as a country.

The UN are the US's circle of friends.

Anyway, the UN shouldn't have control over which countries can have certain types of power, that's like saying we shouldn't give aid to 3rd world countries in case they become self sufficient.

Um.. did you see what happened when Bush wanted support in Iraq? Nothing until much later. The UN didnt rush to support him. How is that friendly? England/Blair is more like a friend to Bush cuz they/he supported him from the start.

I disagree.

I think it is good to have a group of the super powers who run the world. It is not healthy for the world to have part of a country with a crazy dictator testing nukes.

And the UN does give aid to 3rd world countries. The UN is supposed to be the world peace maker.

yeah i agree. The UN is designed to be a peace keepers. That includes supervising powers like that.
