It's a difficult topic.
Concern is a legit thing.
And it's your government's job.
But this is rst and common folks discussion. The only point I was
making was isis nutjobs comparison that Stephen made and that's
completely, imo, ridiculous, and in a broader sense serves as
justification for your own warmongering. Like, they're crazy so
we should bomb them.
It's a dehumanization thing that Nazis did with Russians,
justifying their aggression that way.
You really think north Koreans are even slightly irrational? That
they'd just wake up one day and launch something?
So you believe that?
Don't go into security, geostrategic and other issues, whether
they should be allowed to have such weapon etc. That's for your
government to deal with. Simply personally, do you think Kim and
his regime would ever ever attack first and for no
reason?
Mine is no, but if your answer is yes, ask yourself these questions.
Why aren't Indians, Russians, Chinese, or even Europeans concerned
with North Korean threat the same why you are?
And two, why do you think their propaganda glorifying retaliation
and showing U.S. cities in flames is more disgusting/threatening
than your officials talking publicly about "military" solution?
I'd call that equally disturbing.
Maybe their posture has something to do with your posture, ever
since GWB declared them to be evil country, together with Iraq,
Iran etc. So it's been 15 years that they're on a shot list.
We know how some of these countries fared, facing total
destruction by the neocons, like Libya. Iraq, Syria etc.
And you're surprised that they're so belligerent when in fact
they're simply defensive. If I was Kim I'd pursue the same course
equally. It's the only logical thing.
Maybe if Trump destroys neocons completely and America guarantees
Koreans their sovereignty and abides by non regime change policy,
they'd be willing to cease their activities. No games with China
will do the trick, as it's a security issue. For them, and
they're simply making you aware of the same threats they've been
facing.
Either give them safety, or you'll have to attack them. But it is
you who are bad guys then. Not them.
I'm not being neither soft, nor pro korean, but these guy don't
even seem to be anti-American, culturally and so, remember them
welcoming Rodman etc.
Very unlikely that they're crazed motherfuckers zombie/Borg types.
