North Korea threatens to wipe out South Korean island Agence France-Presse | Updated: March 12, 2013 14:00 IST Seoul: North Korea leader Kim Jong-Un threatened to "wipe out" a South Korean island as Pyongyang came under new economic and diplomatic fire Tuesday from US sanctions and UN charges of gross rights abuses. It has also announced its unilateral shredding of the 60-year-old Korean War armistice and non-aggression pacts with Seoul in protest at a joint South Korean-US military exercise that began on Monday. While most of these statements have been dismissed as rhetorical bluster, the latest threat to the border island of Baengnyeong, which has around 5,000 civilian residents, appears credible and carries the weight of precedent. In 2010, the South Korean naval vessel Cheonan was sunk in the area of Baengnyeong with the loss of 46 lives, and later that year North Korea shelled the nearby island of Yeonpyeong, killing four people. On a visit on Monday to frontline artillery units, Kim Jong-Un briefed officers on their mission "to strike and wipe out the enemies" on Baengnyeong and turn the island into a "sea of fire". "Once an order is issued, you should break the waists of the crazy enemies, totally cut their windpipes and thus clearly show them what a real war is like," Kim was quoted as saying by the Korean Central News Agency. http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/north-korea-threatens-to-wipe-out-south-korean-island-341388
Aggressive, piss-ant bad-asses should be dealt with. Even nuked. The world doesn't need them. This philosophy includes the notion that the US needs to GET THE HELL OUT OF THE MIDDLE EAST and leave them to their own desires. We also need to close down 1,000 foreign military bases. We can't afford, nor should we philosophically be "policeman to the world" and/or impose our cultural values on others. What America NEEDS to do is protect and defend our own shores and support peaceful trade. The rest of our international policies are BS!
After 60 yrs don't you think it's time South Korea handled it's own security? I'm not saying we shouldn't offer assistance if China uses NK as a means of attack but we cannot win a conventional war. We can't win another proxy war with China. Hell we didn't have the balls to win even when we could. So having troops in SK is sheer folly.
What America needs to do? The Founding Fathers established this Nation on the principles and grace of a Sovereign God. History is witness to the rise of a small band of Colonies, who under the hedge of protection of that God, became the greatest of Nations, who in times past the world looked up to and sought refuge in. But that country turned it's back on the God of their Fathers taking His name from it's schools, government and laws. The Nation of Israel, founded by God did the exact same thing almost 3000 years ago, they forsook the God of their Fathers, breaking their covenant and God took his hand and protection off them, allowing them to be attacked by the Assyrians. Their response was one of arrogance and pride, ignoring the fact that the cause of their problems was their sin. Their response is recorded in Isiah 9:10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change [them into] cedars. In essence their God given possessions that were destroyed, they would rebuild by their own efforts bigger and better without God's help. God would allow calamity after calamity, growing in size, confounding their self-efforts in an attempt to turn their hearts back to him and show them the error of their ways, but their hearts grew more and more calloused to God until God finally allowed them to be over-run. This Nation was sent a warning on 9-11, from descendants of the same Assyrians that God used against the Nation of Israel. What was our response? From President Bush, Mayor Giuliani, Senators Schumer, Clinton, Kerry...... We Will Rebuild!, better, stronger. until finally Senator, Vice-Presentational Candidate, John Edwards repeated these words to the Congressional Black Caucus' Prayer Breakfast Sept. 11th 2004 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change [them into] cedars. And that's exactly what we did.... even down to the reconstruction and the trees planted at Ground Zero. Since that time this Country has fallen deeper and deeper, socially economically and spiritually..... it's a wake up call! What does this Country need to do? Get right with God !! If you want to have the hair raised on the back of your neck about what lies in store for this country get the book "The Harbinger" by Jonathan Cahn, it goes into great detail about the implications of America's Spiritual decline and how it all links into 9-11 and the problems we have experienced exactly paralleling them to the historical record and fall of OT Israel. Our efforts to fix it ourselves will be our undoing.
But the catch 22 is that if we pull out of the dangerous regions of the earth all those countries are going to want nukes to prevent being attacked by rogue neighbor states.
I don't see how we can "protect everybody from themselves"... attempting to do so can/will be our own undoing. (Besides... who are we to determine what is righteous for people to be protecting themselves from?? Them Middle Eastern bastards have been in religious war for 5,000 years. America, a 200 year-old country, has little right to "pontificate from our high horse", about how others should live/behave/believe.... They were all doing the same for MILLENIA before we were even born.... and likely will continue to do the same after we have destroyed ourselves and are gone.)
Just sayin' that's what's going to happen. I don't know why we don't just give those countries a bill for our services.
relax UFOs won't allow that to happen and north korea knows this. dogs who bark don't bite. besides, its just plain old stupid politics and mind control. they just want to produce some more fff fffff... ffeeeaaar in people!
