Again, you just feel like arguing for arguments' sake, huh.
OK thanks for that opinion of how things may go.
I have not ADVOCATED an attack or invasion of North Korea. [Who said the US would invade the North Anyway]? You in your hypothetical scenarios?
Remember North Korea has been the one which has for Decades been threatening their neighbors not the other way around. South Korean and US forces have been demonstrating restraint. Have we all forgotten the very real history of the past 40 to 50 years or so of who exactly of the two Korea's which one has been the loudest chest pounder in the region?

North Korea not preparing for extended campaign: US
beta.ca.news.yahoo.com...
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States believes North Korea's artillery attack on a South Korean island this week was an isolated action and Pyongyang is not preparing for an extended military campaign, the State Department said on Wednesday.
There you have it. NK is not prepping up and neither will the US/SK, even in spite of these actions.
If NK planned to attack the South during these upcoming war games, they certainly would mobilize troops.
[Yes I realized the mobilized tens of thousands of troops on DMZ back in March]

what's it going to take for korean war 2 to start.
n. korea is iching for a fight. i bet as soon as kim jung il realizes he doesn't have long on this planet he is going to order a full on assualt.
i bet he can't wait to try one of his nukes on seoul and take out 20,000 american troops.
a cornered tiger they say is the most dangerous. when n. korea realizes it can't sustain it's power and it's society is crumbling and their military is becoming obselete they have 2 options: fade away or fight back.

For the record, there is no proof that NK sunk the ship. That is conjecture. The 'torpedo' was german made.

Yes we have the Strongest econommy our GDP ration is 2nd to non
we have the best military because we equip our men with the best. body armor, night vision, M16's equipt with night vision scopes and red dots. A1M1 abrum tanks, F-22, State of the art nuculer powered Aircraft cariers. satilite logistics. The highest in comunications from the front lines to the comand centers. it imposible to list it all. the question is can you list the resons why we are not number one here.
can you provide some information with these arguments? sounds like im doing all the back ups here. tell me why we suck so much?edit on 24-11-2010 by camaro68ss because: (no reason given)edit on 24-11-2010 by camaro68ss because: (no reason given)
Make excuses all you want. You are still talking about wars in which we were not even able to achieve our goals, let alone win(although, no one wins a war).
So your measurement of strongest economy is based ONLY on GDP? There's a heck of alot more to it than that. How can you possibly be so simplistic? And, according to the IMF and the CIA Wold Factbook, the US is second to someone (the EU).
There is far more to strength of economy than GDP however. I'm not going to get into economics here, as it is very in depth and I am by no means an expert, but sufficed to say, if you think it is only GDP, you have A LOT of learning to do.
Again, you throw out generic examples of why 'we are the best' Best body armour? Sorry, thats tech every country has. Night vision? Old hat. M16's arent even standard anymore. Red dots? You mean laser sighting? Again, that is VERY old tech that everyone has. Not to mention based on your previous statement non of these things should matter, as we 'will blow them out of the sky', remember?
Tanks, planes-everyones got em. Sattelite and comm? We arent the only ones. Seems you think every other country is living in the stoneage.
Reason we arent #1? I'll say it again-Afghanistan. Also, the whole idea of who is #1 is irrelevant. The intangibles in place in a war, especially on foreign soil, are so many that they cant even be listed.
I personally never said we 'suck so much', but i have to commend you on your eloquent wording. ALl I have said is that the idea that no one is a match for us is absurd.
Again, I suggest you step away from CoD and Rambo, and look at the real world.

You made the claim, Prove it.
Also You are the one posting Bogus information. remember who added the claim of They have at least 46,000 battle ships and 110,000 military jets. then retracted it. So who is really adding anything of value to the discussion?
I have provided links when i provide information.edit on 24-11-2010 by SLAYER69 because: (no reason given)
