Looks like war may escalate between North Korea and UN, US over nuclear testing issue.

North Korea just reminds me of Singaporean gangsters... always creating problem for us.

Gates to Discuss North Korea's 'Potential Game Changer' at Singapore Conference By Al Pessin
Washington
27 May 2009

U.S. officials say North Korea's recent moves will be a key topic for Defense Secretary Robert Gates as he heads to Singapore late Wednesday, arriving Friday morning, to attend an annual regional defense conference.

Maybe the regions could possibily send Ah Kim some DVD so that he don't play too much of the buttons.

Kim Jong IL will be assasinated soon and China should turn the other way around and pretend they dont know what is happening

I wish u r accurate in your comments but it's more complex than that.

Being nuke positive is to keep up with the Joneses & it all boils down to one thing - military might.

Whether it's for defence, deterrence or mad (mutual assured destruction) or a combo, the issue of nuclearization will always be argued, quarrelled & threatened.

Logically one can ask this question: "why u can have it & I cant?".

Militarily the answer is: "You cant because we dont want too many to have nukes"

Logically: "Is that equitable? - a more sensible thing is all should not have it at all".

For ordinary folks like many of us, we should tell all these f..xx.kkbas..taks: "Please dont play play with humanity!"

It is unforgivable and a crime for the political leadership of any country to spend its meagre resources and wealth to develop the nuclear weapon, while letting the population to rot in famine and economic backwardness.

Should the World Community come to the aid of the North Koreans - with food, material and money - when the successive North Korean governments have ignored the plights of their own citizens, and also ignored the voices from the World ?

richong 3216 SG

1. If that is the case especially "population to rot in famine & economic backwardness", why are they still around as a country?

2. What ever it is they are still doggedly going on with or without "the World Community come to the aid of the North Koreans ................ and also ignored the voices from the World?" as can be seen by the latest nuclear test & missile launches.

N. Korea is mad!

They have withdrawn from the armistice signed in 1953 in the war with S.Korea which means both States are at war now!

And what do nuclear power states do when they go to war? Application of nukes, not just one, to cause destruction on a massive scale. Perhaps the mad leader is aware that he cannot survive a nuke war, so what the hell - threaten to send one to beijing, send one to jap, and to hell with S korea with their remaining 3 nukes

Better start getting your refund for the june holiday trips to Japan and korea or Beijing.

Kim Jong Il is not teenager.

At least they didn't kill people in other countries.

Israeli air strikes' in Sudan killed 119 people

DPRK in what way creates problems for us?

They're not mad, it's just tactics.

A country can exist even with famine - but what is the quality of life for the citizens when the politics of the country takes precedence over the people's well-being ?

Yes, with or without "the World Community coming to the aid of the North Koreans" - they will doggedly and blindly support their Leader who has been promoted to pop star status by their propaganda machinery.

If the humanitarian sense of the World Community did not intervene during the harsh periods in the early 1990s, and again in early 2001 - the North Korean political system would have imploded, as their traditional allies in China and Russia have both already adopted the market economic system.

Try digesting the following articles to get an insight of the North Korean politics.

I hope you are right. Currently, the US and S Korea inspects ships plying the N Korean route for carrying nuke material. N.Korea has officially stated that any further such actions will be deem acts of war.

Words had been officially stated and stands made. All it takes is just one more search and the whole thing goes BOOM!

Another Perry of Japan or gulf of tonkin incident awaiting to happen? You think US is gonna back down and be threatened or bullied by this nuthead, stop their searches and let nuke material be further supplied to make more bombs?

Either nutcase Kim fires first or US will simply just drop a few nukes to end their nuclear capabilities. Furthermore, what do you think the N korean spies/commando sleeper cells in S Korea will do when war is re-activated? Sleeping will be the last thing that they do.

Ah Chia SG

Either nutcase Kim fires first

He nutcase, long time ago nuke USA already.

Long time ago end truce already.

Long time ago invade South Korea already.

Don't have to wait until now.

Ah Chia SG

When it comes to North Korea, USA usually backs down.

They have nukes after all.

Unless someone in USA is a nutcase.

Iraq and DPRK, you attack who?

One has nukes, the other no nukes.

USA is not a nutcase, although they like to pretend.

Ah Chia SG

So is Israel also a nutcase?

"If Iran continues with its programme for developing nuclear weapons, we will attack it. The sanctions are ineffective," Mr Mofaz told Yediot Ahronot.

Backing down is one thing.

But the crux of the whole excercise is to get aid. N.Korea, just like every nation is Earth, is most definately hurting from the present crisis. Hunger, poverty and starvation may be worse.

In the past, US can afford to be generous, but NOT anymore. They have their own people to feed. So who can afford to feed the N.Koreans? China? with problems of their own?

Perhaps the rich middle east? Doubt so, their mentality would rather N. Korea get its nukes so that they too will get some, hell if the koreans starve. Other treasury rich nations such as Asean members? No way will any of us support using our own wealth to feed foreigners! We have our own mouths to feed.

So what is N. Korea is suppose to do? Best course of action - rob S.Korea to feed its people or let war kill off millions of hungry mouths for better utilisation of its resources.

I may be wrong, but it seems this is the gameplan.

Ah Chia SG

I may be wrong, but it seems this is the gameplan.

You are wrong.

Their target is USA.

I think you read too much propaganda from USA pundits.

Hey I am going to Singapore in June but you know what? When the shit do hit the fan it wont miss a spot and the little red dot could be the next little brown dot.

Why don't have a change and switch to DPRK propaganda pundit?

Everytime propaganda from USA pundit also sian right?
