Diplomats have said that North Korea has acknowledged having nuclear arms in private talks, but this is the first time the communist government has said so directly to the public.

“We had already taken the resolute action of pulling out of the (Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty) and have manufactured nukes for self-defense to cope with the Bush administration’s ever-more undisguised policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK,” the North Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by the state-run Korean Central News Agency.

DPRK refers to the country’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

North Korea’s “nuclear weapons will remain (a) nuclear deterrent for self-defense under any circumstances,” the ministry said. “The present reality proves that only powerful strength can protect justice and truth.

Well that about wraps it up for the world! lol am i rite?


Seriously. The fact that they are now making this information public can not be a good thing. Add in this with Bush's ever increasing desire to invade Iran, and the next four years are going to be a very hair raising time.

[Dilbert]

Freedom is on the MARCH, bitches!

 

[NLB2]

Haven't you guys realized this is a good thing? Nuclear proliferation = less wars. Population problems are forced to be solved by ways through wars, such as through better agricultural techniues.

 

[DSN2K]

China wont stand for this shit for long.

 

[Manabanana]

:lol I love this thread title. I imagine a Korean guy with glowing green tentacles saying something like, "Yeah, I got 'em! What about it?"

Micheal Jackson is weird, the sky is blue, water is wet, and sand feels rough on sensitive parts. This has been another edition of "No Shit Sherlock", now back to you Connie.

 

[Deleted member 1159]

China wont stand for this shit for long.

...and what exactly will they do about it? Invade and get nuked? Nuke and get nuked + get disowned from the world? Economic sanctions and starve them to death? Oh wait...

 

[Kobun Heat]

now back to you Connie.

"I'll dismantle that shit myself."

 

[Fresh Prince]

North Korea is an attention seeking bitch. :lol

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea

Pfft, so why are North Koreans climbing walls to leave? They live in a democracy!

 

[Macam]

Well, Bush has certainly lived up to his promise of making preventing nuclear proliferation the #1 priority for his administration as he promised in the debates. Guess his little brigade to China to pressure North Korea further earlier this week came a bit late...which is what happens when you have far too broad an agenda and tunnel vision.

 

[Triumph]

I can't wait until Freedom marches to North Korea and takes it's nuclear weapons.

 

[Kobun Heat]

I can't wait until Freedom marches to North Korea and takes it's nuclear weapons.

Cheers to that. Actually my cousin is stationed in South Korea, so maybe he can take one home as a prize.

 

[Malakhov]

I can't wait until Freedom marches to North Korea and takes it's nuclear weapons.

That will never happen.

 

[Socreges]

Yeah, Raoul. Get yer shit together.

 

[Eric-GCA]

"For Home! And for the prize!"

Why would China care?

 

[ChrisReid]

Haven't you guys realized this is a good thing? Nuclear proliferation = less wars.

Wow, so you trust North Korea to keep 100% tabs on all its nuclear material? The US/Russia can't do it, and not only will poor famine stricken North Korea be unable to do so, they'll have incentive to sell such devices to whomever can pay. Why nuke your enemies when you can just sell a bomb to the nearest terrorist group which happens to be an enemy of your enemy? Good job thinking this one through.

 

[DSN2K]

Why would China care?

because they have nuclear armed rogue country as a neighbor.

Who is a ally whose main focus right now is the united states

 

[White Man]

Who is a ally whose main focus right now is the united states

Last I heard, China wasn't very happy about the North Korean wackiness of the past several months.

 

[norinrad21]

 

[Drozmight]

Yeah, NK and China don't exactly see eye to eye. China's actually walling them off last I heard.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

Who is a ally whose main focus right now is the united states

not an ally. a nuisance.

 

[android]

Yeah they may dislike them even hate them but they wouldn't go to war with them. And them probably wouldn't allow the US to invade either. North Korea is too busy with the US, the South and Japan to want China's anger.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Who is a ally whose main focus right now is the united states

China has a booming economy at the moment, and who is their biggest buyer?

Plus nuclear wars aren't good for business.

Pfft, so why are North Koreans climbing walls to leave? They live in a democracy!

You are forgetting, the more adjectives describing a democracy or republic in the name, the more dangerous it is.

 

[Kobun Heat]

I was going to say something like that. Like, you know you're in the most oppressive communist awful place in the world when you look up the official name and it's The Liberal Democratic Happy Sunshine People's Republic of Craprainbowsoutyourassistan.

 

[android]

The Liberal Democratic Happy Sunshine People's Republic of Craprainbowsoutyourassistan

I'd like to live there. And I meant North Korea was focused on the US. China will kill them economically.

 

[Kobun Heat]

I'd like to live there.

You wouldn't live for very long.

Dude, you are so cynical, we would never do that. How bad do you think this administration is?









They would move a declaration on the 13th.

 

[boredJonathan]

I imagine the media would rather wait for the 14th, as that would give them lots of 'Valetine's Day Massacre' headlines to work with. Perhaps that would be too sensationalist though...


Nah.

 

[ConfusingJazz]

Well, I went to go watch CNN about this, to see if they had something interesting to say. Guess what they are covering instead?

The useless Prince Charles announced he was getting married again. Joy to the corporate media, you guys chose the right story to cover, once again.

 

[BlackMage]

I guess now I can sleep a little easier tonight.. oh wait.

[evil solrac v3.0]

:lol I love this thread title. I imagine a Korean guy with glowing green tentacles saying something like, "Yeah, I got 'em! What about it?"

:lol that was exactly what I thought.

[Drexon]

What I'm thinking about is all the South Korean gamers that'll get mutated by the nuclear fallout.

 

[Templar Wizard]

North Korea is the only country that still holds a piece of American Naval Hardware (a ship)as trophy. And it hasnt been reclaimed...

and now they have (revealed) nukes and a brainwashed army that will fight to the death.

i feel sorry for your countries soldiers who 'will only be doing their job'...

 

[Ill Saint]

The North Koreans definitely don't want a war. All they want is for the US to "stop threatening" them (they are constantly in this state of paranoia, and believe the US will attack them at any moment), and re-unify with the South.

Lots of huff and puff, that's all.

 

[speedpop]

I love you guys.. you make threads hilarious without going to extreme lengths.

edit: on a more serious note, do you think the North Korean soccer players for World Cup Qualifiers will be lynched by angry Japanese mobs now when they leave?

 

[CloudNL]

Where are the nuclear arms!?
WHERE ARE THE NUCLEAR ARMS!?!?
<shoots Korean guy in leg>
DAMMIT!

 

[AssMan]

Wow, so you trust North Korea to keep 100% tabs on all its nuclear material?

Blame the Clinton Adminstration for giving North Korea 6 billion dollars of foreign aid and Light Water Reactors. Yes, LWRs are for creating nuclear power, but they can create highly enriched uranium.

Blame the Bush administration for being a bunch of Ass Hats:

These clowns are so damn dumb, and the dumb ass's that elected them are even dumber.

 

[DonasaurusRex]

If any country should be worried its S.Korea and Japan,...time to release mega man. The problem with that is , if S Korea and Japan are threatened thats fuckin with China's money, which is fuckin with our money.

 

[Jr.]

I think we kne something serious was going to go down with this, I read somewhere recently that we were going to increase our troop numbers over there to some staggering amount.
