Country:  | North Korea test moves 'continuing'
North Korea is stepping up preparations to test fire a long-range missile, regional media reports say.
Workers have moved fuel tanks and booster rockets to a launch site in the north-east of the country, a South Korean daily reported.
Officials believe Pyongyang is planning to test the Taepodong-2, which has a range of up to 6,000km (3,700 miles) and is capable of reaching the US.
On Friday, the US warned North Korea such a move would be "provocative".
Officials from South Korea, the US and Japan have all warned in recent days that a launch could be imminent.

Country:  | They do that **** all the time. Some day the old piece of **** running the government there will have a heart attack and the people will riot and revoke until the south and north are reunited.
I truely believe that in the next 10 years we will se the same thing in Korea that we saw with East and West Germany.

| The South Korean government secretly dreads reunification, it will cost them an absolute fortune, they actually give aid and prop up the North to try and avoid it, but inevitably it will happen.

Country:  | Just nuke them and stop with this peace bull. I would not warn and warn, I would take action and wipe it of the face of the earth, but that is me.

| I wish I could agree with you, but I don't see it happening. The people in power have to much to lose and wouldn't mind slaughtering a few thousand people who dare to raise their head above the parapet.
Any country that happily lets a couple of million people die of starvation, rather than admit to errors, isn't going to even blink before killing a few thousand more. | |

Country: | No Adler I did not say it makes me better than them. It is my opinion and I just said that I would not take **** from all these scum bags. I can see what you mean but they do these things because they know there would be no war or the US would not Nuke them.
This is the same way Hitler came to have so much power and get what he want, with talks. I agree with Adler that he would die and the people will revolt and get someone else in power, but it can again come out the same way with just a other one.

Country: | No N. Korea is basically held in check right now and if he started a war he would lose and he knows it. The best thing to do is wait it out and not cause a war that will kill thousands when it is not necessary at the moment.

Country:  | The problem with nuking ANY country is that the fallout will not stay confined to the intended target. I disagree with Henk that we have to nuke them for many reasons. BUt if memory serves correctly, the prevailing winds from that would push the fallout right over Japan.

Country: | Yup, I know that mate I just said what I would do, and I sure as hell is not the right person to rule a country. I agree with you Adler and it would be great to see the day when he dies.
I am crazy when it comes to being in charge of a country. LOL

Country: | One way to stop the fallout is to make the bomb detonate underground. It stops most of the fallout from shifting.
