Just to allay some ppls fears there will NOT be a fourth world war.

Trust me there are greater forces out there at work than there are on earth.

There will be some minor squirmishes but nothing of any great import.

Buy 100 F22's? Does Lockheed take food coupons? Lets see, 360 million USD per aircraft times 100 minus food coupons, carry the 1 = Not Effing Likely.

Over the horizon radar is great, means we can see the nuke heading in and then we can.... then we can.... do what exactly?

Less Nintendo, Less reading Tom Clancy, more observation of reality.

I believe we have nothing to worry about.

Alexander Downer has given the NK ambassador a severe dressing down over the nucluar testing. I doubt the NK government would do anything to risk another one of those.

Buy on get one free. Order now and you get a free set of steak knives and 2 Sidewinder air to air missles. Limited to one per customer, not valid for use by family members of Lockheed-Martin.

I heard on the radio at 11.30 that Japan reckons that N.K have fired another one.South Korea says they haven,t detected anything.I wonder if N.K just want to provoke a war of some kind because they have 1 million troops not doing anything and Kimmy has to feed them.

The third one seems to be pressing on most people's minds more.

NO I'm not God...however there are those that would ensure the comparitive safety of the world.

It needs to exist to further peace by whatever means..hence the minor squirmishes..e.g. N.K will not suceed in any attempt to attack any other nation.

Why because the rest of the world including China are ready to dispose of anything that threatens their economic benefit and china is NK closest allie.

Some of the other minor probs are the terroists but they are like Ireland used to be ...live training for our troops...we will win.

just as an aside we have yet to conquer the final frontier and this must be done in order to attain world peace.

Sorry for spelling can't be bothered fixing...very tired.

Ditto.

Its the World VS Kimmy and when you Have China, the USA, France, UK (ok, the worlds main super powers) All ready to pounce on North Korea,
One step too far in the wrong direction would be :gren: for the midget graced with God's good looks. Kimmy is just trying to puff his chest up...

All NK wants is for a decrease in economic sanctions by the US.. They are far too "Ronrey" the way it is.

You are correct there they will not succeed in any attacks.N.korea are not economically or financially as well off as, say germany was in ww2, and if they are not careful and do start something that regime will not only fall but be handled by a few other countries in the long run.

There is no way China will have anything to do with attacking N Korea. They are close allies and trading partners - just like the USA and Australia. Of course they expressed their disappointment towards the testing - If they agreed with it they might also face possible sanctions.
As far as N Korea not having any long range nuclear capable missiles able to go intercontinental - you forget that a commercial plane can carry cargo. It wouldnt even arouse suspicion and could be set to detinate over anywhere.
I believe ol' Kimmymeister is just trying to be all big and tough - he knows he would get smashed by any of the major 6 players, and also knows he is unable to feed his own people, yet alone fund a huge land and air offensive.
Give him a pat on the head and a scorcer of warm milk to drink. :

Pity the floods in Greece and China arent in North Korea instead washing Kim and his weapons away. That would be the best short term soloution we could wish for.

China will not attack or be part of an attack on N.k. China is frightened that if n.k goes to war it will suddenly have 1 million refugees to house and feed.

The comment regarding "there will be no 4th world war" alludes to the fact there would be no world after WW3.

WW1 = trenches
WW2 = tanks
WW3 = unholy death
WW4 = sticks, rocks

I think that it was Albert Einstein that said the 4th world war would be fought with sticks and rocks........

To all those that have posted a query regarding WW3,in response to my WW4 wont happen post.

We are at this very time fighting WW3..its called terrorism.

When we win this,which we will WW4 will not happen because we will have learnt and taught peace and harmony among the human race on this world is the only way we can survive.

you know there is a reason nukes are concidered a paradox as far as wepons go,

EX: country A fires a nuke at country B, country B fires in retaliation at country A, the nukes pass each other on the way and BAMM everybody is dead,

They are a system designed to stop warfare not start it, anyone running a country no matter how much they resemble minni ME will be able to work this out
