Many countries as well as the United states of America are on high alert. North korea may launch balistic missles (supposedly targeting new york city). You can find the web page and it explains all the information we have on the subject. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2004-10-26-nkorea-missiles_x.htm
North America has missle interception squads are positioned all over the boarders. If anymore information is found please post it here.
I thought they were only capable of hitting California.
apparently not. They are capable of hitting quite a few countries. We may have a war on our hands here. >:(
Sounds like a second Cold War. Only it's terrorism we're trying to stop instead of Communism.
O my god were all going to die, Ill get all my Zelda games and go to a safe place.
I think the only countries that pose a nuclear threat are North Korea and Iran. Although I think Iran decided to sit down and talk.
Do you know that for sure? :)
That's why I put down I think. I think I heard it on FNC.
Those dirty rats. They will fail.
OO, well theres know noing that for sure, just because the news said that.
I would check on this, but I'm getting a huge storm right now, so I'm keeping it on the local news.
That scares me..i'm really a baby when it comes to things like that
lol! i dont blame you. I think anyone would get the heeby jeebies knowing there was a balistic missle targeting your house! ;)
Why bother panicking about a missile, if it hits you, you won't know about it.
I heard that they could launch it whenever they wanted. It's armed and it's ready.
do you actually think they do? or do you think it could be more propaganda?
You can't question whether it is or not when it comes to a crisis like this.
Thanks for frightening me like that ZV.
Like Jack Fate said Don't worry be happy! I highly doubt they will, What is the point?? They would gain nothing from it.
True that, but still it frightened me for awhile.
I hate being bigheaded like this but... We are one of the most powerful countries in the world. If North Korea were to weaken us, it would prove that they're tough,and they could start some kind of plan for world domination.
Which if they did, Bush would put an end to it before they even started.
Well, Bush is facing pressure from the Democrats on this. If we intercept it ourselves, it will seem that we are a unilateral nation and we won't get much international help. However, the safety of the land is at risk.
DOWN with Bush!
No offence but I hate him!
Anyway If anyone had a reason to missile you it would be Japan, but it doesn't work that way I guess. Still North Korea would know that America would send troops there if there was a PROPER missile scare, any country would.
It actually launched the missle, and if you don't believe me, then search the Pacific Ocean. What will the UN do?
North Korea dosnt have any reason to target the US, its just the fact that a missle CAN reach us that is scary.
1. TwilightZelda, as a Bush supporter, I could get into a HUGE political debate right now. But if you insist, we'll take it to private messages.
2. MasterKey, if they hit us, it will show that we're weak, and other nations will respond to thier demands out of fear.
3. And whoever said that Japan is the only one who would bomb us, Japan can't even get a military because of the post World War 2 treaty we signed with them. I doubt they could have a missle.
Unless they breake the treaty.
It would be hard to raise an army without getting international attention.
Look back in history, how many times has the US broken their treaties? Honestly, its arrogant to assume that they will keep their word...
Yes but we don't know that for sure.
Can you refer to any specific treaties in particular. The fun in debating is that your opponent knows what they're talking about.
Yes, it is more fun if the other party knows what they are talking about gamefreak. That is why I am not holding my breath for you... But to fancy your notion.. The countless treaties the americans made with the indian tribes...
You still haven't told us?
Yes I have! I cannot name the particular treaty but there are many. Get off your arses and google it!
Well, the UN will surely do something, or it will end up like the League of Nations did, a failure.
1) Gamefreak has proven some great points.
2) Bush is the stupidest president that ever took office. http://blogs.warpedworld.org/seumas/archives/images/Bush-monkey.jpg (STRIKING SIMILARITIES HUH!)
3) If Korea were to launch a missle, it would start a big war, between all nations threatened by it. WORLD WAR 3!! lol! I doubt it, but it is still a possibility.
4) I didnt mean to scare you JDog. lol :D
Now ZV, there have been much dumber presidents(i.e. Jimmy Carter, Herbert Hoover). But if Korea were to launch a bomb we have tons of allies(Germany, England, Japan, etc.) Now notice how I didn't say France, yes they are an allie but it's like David shooting cheese balls at Goliath, it's useless. The french havent done any real help for use except for a few minor events. I mean they didn't want to help us enter Iraq but once we got Saddam they wanted to help rebuild in hopes they got some oil.
Quote3. And whoever said that Japan is the only one who would bomb us, Japan can't even get a military because of the post World War 2 treaty we signed with them. I doubt they could have a missle.
I meant that Japan have a reason you know Revenge!
I in no way think Japan would or would ever want to missile anyone since they are one of the richest and most well off countries anywhere.

Not really, even Germany is reluctant to help us in Iraq. And Japan isn't even alllowed to have an army. So I doubt they're doing much in Iraq.
Edit: Also I think we need to get back onto the topic of North Korea, if you want to argue over Iraq, go to the other topic that Zelda Veteran started.
you forget clinton. He was the worst of them.
Yeah sleeping with ur mom like that thats just low :D
back in topic, as ZV said there is still a posablity that the war may happen, and ZV, you still scared me even more after saying that.
And Germany does have an army, but it's only 36,000, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is in charge of all of them, while France is in charge of the protection of most of Germany.
O, that makes me fell better*Speaking Ironic*
That wasn't Irony JDog.

Why would Japan want revenge. I could see them being mad that we bombed them but we helped them rebuild.
:o another thing that bothers me... Why help them rebuild what we destroyed? It defeats the purpose
I really don't know why, most likely because if we didn't we'd be missing out on a lot of tech (like the GCN!) and japan is one of our major trade partners
We don't want to foster future enemies. That would be like asking, Why rebuild the Confederacy after the Civil War.
So you're saying, we help them rebuild to prevent harsh feelings?
pretty much yes.
But we would have already wrecked their country...
Wouldn't that be enough cause for harsh feelings?
Also we saw what Japan did during the age of imperialism(built powerful army while everyone else fought for land) so we knew making an ally of them would be like having Mike Tyson on your side in a fight, it would help a lot.
Even if Japan hated our souls, they aren't allowed to have a military so what are they going to do.
Yes but Japan still has a militia, we could crush them but they could still put up a fight
All Japan has, is a small force to defend themselves if they come under attack.
But the militia is not allowed to leave Japan legally while on duty.
But that small force could help if NK attacked, we did poorly against the koreans because of gureilla warfare(sp) which is the same technique Hideki Tojo's forces used so it's kind of like having a spy in th korean army, we now know how they fight for future reference
I agree.

Agreed.
North korea could be on the way to help start World War 3...missle launch threats by untrustworthy countries creates a very tense situation
With China, the only country that can beat the US, as North Korea's ally, it is possible NK will start WWIII !!!!!!
O masterkey, I thought you double posted, but that other person has the same avatar, sorry, and then USA would have to kick the crap out of them, like they do to every other country.
Yes, but we have no natural resources of our own, but China has many, and it controls much trade with the US. Losing its resources could be very bad for our economy, especially because a war between super powers is usually long.
I thoroughly believe the US can defend itslef against anybody. i mean look at WWII. The United Staes was the only country on the allies side. England was on the verge of defeat, and so was the Soviet Union. We had to defeat The Axis Powers, which was conquering the ENTIRE WORLD! But we won. i think that if we needed to, we could defend ourselves from the world (literally) again.
:-\hmmmmmm.... ben loden is in japan!!!
no one really knows were Bin Ladin is right now, actually...
WAIT north korea is lauching a missle so hes there
The USSR, the UK, and China were still free for natural reasons (oceans, storms, bad weather, mountains, etc.), Germany couldn't cross the seas with Britain's navy in the ocean, supply routes we extended, the Allies began to get the upper hand. The US joining was only the immediate reason the Allies won, like how Francis Ferdinand's assassination was the immediate cause of WWI, but the true causes were deep in Europe's history.
Yes, it is true that Britain only survived the Blitz because of its outstanding Navy.
I think this will be the sides in WWIII:
"Allies"
-United states
-Britain
-Saudi Arabia
-Israel
-Kuwait
-India
-Many more countries, i just dont know them all.
"Terrorists"
-Iran
-North korea
-China (possibly)
-Syria
-And many other countries, i just dont know them all.
Saudi Arabia is on our side. India is, too.
My bad. ill edit it. :-*
Pakistan could be an ally, but it's not for certain, but most likely. I think Turkey is, too.
Isn't Mexico on are side?
Many many MANY countires are on our side. if anyone wants, they can copy my list and edit it with what they think ;D
Yes but no ones there now ;D
Then we'll send them first followed by the Americans. and then the canadians, wait, canadians, go be for the americans, then southamerica after us, they won't see it coming.
Here's my list: Brazil, US, UK, Canada, Pakistan, South Korea, Australia, Taiwan, India, Germany, Israel, Saudi Arabia. Taiwan is added because it is still not 100% free from Chinese rule (the government ruling it is called the Republic of China), SK because it wouldn't feel safe knowing NK is on the offensive again, and Australia because it thinks that if NK should have missiles, why shouldn't they?, partly because of the major threat Japan put on the nation during WWII
Canada is on our side, right?! :-\
Yes, it is on our side. Other side, I call it the ??: China, North Korea, Russia?, Iran, Syria, Vietnam, Laos, Muslim terrorists, Egypt, Libya. Russia is a small but dangerous possibility.
Shouldn't you have US last? ;D
Order doesn't matter in this case.
Yes it does, ware them out with the weaker country's than go after them with the stronger countrys and USA is the strongest country.
Order doesn't matter when you just line up who's on what side.
Yes it does, it will weaken that country and then we come in for the kill.
Okay, forget order exists right now.
QuoteMuslim terrorists
What so all other terrorists are on your side right? The christian terrorists, the hindu terrorists, the jewish terrorists, the buddhist terrorists.
Surely terrorists in general, but no just the muslim ones. I am sorry but my cousin is muslim and I hate it when muslim terrorists are thought of as being the only terrorists.
And China is going to take over the world some day since they have the highest population, make half of the worlds stuff and they are generally awesome! :)

Russia wouldn't be on their side, they are one of are largest allies and have been scince they started a democratic government
Communism still holds alot of people in the Russian Federation, but it no longer has a say in government. Russia is slowly collasping, and it could eventually blame the US like every other country.
Russia wouldn't fight, theyd just bolt 3 things together and sell them to the highest bidder.
Russia would most likely, in my opinion, be neutral.
And when i say terrorists, it isnt right to just say Muslims. i mean all terrorists would be against us, no matter what ethnic backround they are.
Not entirely, we've made a humongous ally in russia and i believe they would help us.
Not really Truthinite.
1. Russia is supposedly slipping back into the old days.
2. They aren't helping us fight.
That is NOT good. They could really help us
Russia isn't that great of an ally. The only thing they would have an advantage of during a home front war would be having the largest landmass of any country, and horrible winters.
That's very true. Those winters destroyed both Hitler and Napoleon's troops
The co-advantage of that(did I just make up a word)? is that you probably couldn't conquer Russia, in one year. Therefore, unless you have really good equipment, the Winters would destroy you.
Plus taking over that much land would take quite some time.
I just said that. I said you wouldn't be able to take over Russia in a year. So you would get caught up in the Winters.
Well it could be possible to defeat them in less than a year depending on power, size, and will of both armies
if russia put its mind to it, it could be a global superpower. they need to stabilize themselves and help us fight to protect ourselves from terrorists AND north korea.
Germany could have defeated Russia in a year if it beat France first in WWI. Russia was on the verge of revolution and, even though it was a great power, had one of the worst armies in Europe. While Germany fought France, Austria-Hungary should defend Germany while conquering Serbia and its ally, Montenegro. Austria couldn't do both, so it failed to take Serbia three times. France, Britain, and Belgium all had their forces defending Paris offend at all times, causing Germany to retreat. Russia mobilized faster than expected, making Germany send several troops to fight Russia. Everything depended on speed and the enemies not being capable of joining together to become a force as powerful as the German army.
quite true, but they would have crumbled russia to dust if they were more prepared for the harsh weather

Are you saying that they never tried to become a Superpower?
To add to GF's point look at the cold war, it was a nueclear arms race between the Soviet Union(before gorbachev came in) and the U.S. That to me is trying to become a super power
You just got nailed!
This would be the point in which I would put in a "You just got own3d video" if I knew how to get one.
im not saying they never tried to become a superpower, im saying that they could do it again if they put their minds to it. Seriously, russia is falling apart!
Also MK Russia was a super power in WWII.
But you're right. Russia is falling and they need to grab the preverbial hand that will save them,*insert thing that could help them here*
just one qiestion:is russia a democracy at this point?
why :'( we don't need more war :'( :'( ???
Quote from: masterkey4892 on June 26, 2006, 09:59:51 AM
just one qiestion:is russia a democracy at this point?
Yes. But it's been hinted at that they're slipping back into the 60's. And I don't think ANYBODY wants to go back to the 60's
(Hippies)
no, i dont want more war! i just anted to say that if theyre slowly slipping away from a democracy, we should help them stabilize and become a firmer democracy.
Hippies are awesome! I am learning Russian at school and I am gonna learn Chinese next year so don't diss them! lol. jk. The 60's sounded awesome! we should all go back there...
i'd rather not go back to the 60's. The small ammount of potheads in my school frustrate me enough, i don't want to go to a time where use of pot was at it's peak!
oh c'mon the 60's werent that bad! its when we landed on the moon!
Late 60's. So it really doesn't count.
i dont like the sixties. Crappy music. But it is a big part of video game history. the very first video game was built called tennis for two. it was like pong, but on a huge computer system. it was built by a huge team of engineers. I did a report on it once for school. It was either early sixties or late fities.
1969 doesnt count??? :-\ LOL j/k.
Yea, id rather havelived in the 70's.
