Well I guess Obama can't please everyone, but his latest move to send Stealth Bombers to South Korea is something I can get behind!
That fat little bastard Kim and his munchkin Generals need to know they can't threaten the United States without having to watch their backs. More and more I have been reading about NK's ambitions to do harm to the US and I was starting to wonder if Obama had lost his nerve. This latest move by the Obama Administration puts my mind at ease.
Although I might add... The US Military needs to keep the South Koreans far away from these Stealth Bombers lest we lose more technology to Asian competitors.. While they are our ally in a common goal, they are still competition and as such these Bombers should be parked on US carriers rather than SK soil!

Seems they brought the B-2's back home as quick as they took them there!
You don't think a B-2 could fit on a carrier PowerStroker? I don't think that is true, but then again I am no Navy expert either. I would imagine if needed they could land a B-2 SB on a carrier, but maybe not. You raise a good point!
Seems we have sent some stealth fighters over there also, which I think is also a good idea; however it would seem Russia is a little worried about all this showing off and decided to do a little showing off themselves. Apparently they had one of their tu-22M backfire bombers target our missile defence systems in Asia as a "practice strike" LOL! Guess they are still bitter about Cuba.
Then we have China bringing tanks to the North Korean boarder which I feel is more or less to keep the stampeed of immigrants from crossing the boarder when the shit hits the fan. Yet I still just don't trust China and who the hell really knows what they are thinking. They prolly don't like the fact we are tight with Japan and South Korea but let's be honest, who knows what way SK or Japan would go if all hell broke loose.
The big question on everyone's mind that no news outlet seems to want to talk about is this... What if we have to go to war with North Korea, can we really trust that the "axis of evil" will not band together for an all out World War? I mean we are talking about China, NK, Russia, Iran and we might as well throw in Iraq and Afghanistan. Do you feel Obama could handle such a big undertaking? I am starting to think we may find out.
Meanwhile we have people that seem to be disillusioned with some kind of "diplomatic" solution, but REALLY? We are talking about North Korea here! These people could NEVER live up to their word, let alone be trusted not to sell nuclear weapons to other nations. I would not trust one word North Korea said, and history has proven they constantly go back on their word.
No I think the only solution here is to liberate North Korea and let South Korea take it over. Look how well the South Koreans have done compared to the North. The South seems to be more true to their word and reasonable. People claiming that North Korea is not our problem need to realize these people are threatening the US with nuclear bombs! Who the fuck does something that stupid? A better question is who the hell else does something that stupid and gets away with it? I can only imagine North Korea has Russian, Chinese and other backing or they would not be talking such trash.
It would be a sad day to have to kick the shit out of North Korea, Russia AND China... Hell while we were at it we might as well level Iran, but be both know somewhere in the crazyness Isreal would beat us to it.
The question is "Why"? Why does it have to be this way? When the can (NK) gets opened there is going to be a vacuum; who gets sucked in is anyone's guess. The idea NK is talking nukes should be enough to make anyone in the region concerned, more so than the US because it's their back yards we will be nuking the hell out of.
Pass the popcorn PowerStroker, this could get interesting.

At the end of the day, we can all thank the Rosenbergers for their craft back in the 1950's...( Check them out if you don't know about them...),I won't go down that path, but today, what does it really matter ? We have Japan who a little over 12months ago let who-knows how much nuclear crap into our atmosphere and our oceans after the sunami hit...Try finding an up-date or conclusion as to the after-effects on that little(???) baby...Have they fixed the "over-due for replacement" pipework ?...Are they rethinking or closing down these below-standard nuclear plants..? It would appear that no-one gives a damn...Also, since the US developed and tested the thermonuclear device (code-named Mike) in 1952, many other teriffic and wonderfull nuclear devices have been invented...Some that have massive amounts of fall-out with minimal physical-damage, and others that will wipe out an entire city etc with little fall-out...So I guess it all depends on who wants what and who will get what after it's all said and done, & then divided up... I personally believe that in "reality", people generally become used to, or simply don't know any-better about their own place in the big-picture, and probably don't give a damn because they have their own day - to - day lives to get on with, eg go to work, pay bills, get the kids ready for for school, go shopping, etc etc etc. So the politicians start this bollox to justify their own existance ! I reckon to just let the "Big Boys play with their Big Toys ( and BIG MOUTHS )", and just worry about getting on with our own lives. Whatever happens will happen, without consideration of what we, or the people in countries that we're talking about think.
Cheers,
Rastus

I can't tell you how much of a distraction it has been since the 2008 elections. The total media blitz, all the bullshit that went with it... I am politicked off at the moment.
Now everyone in the guberment is laying low avoiding scandles, plus Obama does not have to campaign anymore. The end result? People are able to think about other things.
It's nice.
