North Korea wants to be an attention whore again...

Ummm... wow.... looking at the photos made me realize they are still stuck in 1953, when the war ended.... Could you imagine the surprise of the people when things finally change there? They will all have to receive history books on the last 60 to 70 years just to catch up.

Imagine seeing cell phones, and laptops, and spaceships, and all sorts of stuff, and learning what has happened in the world in the past decades. Such as, how America is playing the world police... (Somethings never change... just kidding)...

Remember how you always wish you could take someone from the past and bring them to the future to show what has happened? This could work with North Korea. In the end, I just feel upset by the fact that its still so backwards especially in Human Rights.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Seriously though, I have to agree with the title of this thread. North Korea is BEGGING for attention, and obviously, they are going to get it after doing this nuclear test. Although, I am disappointed... by now you would have thought the nuclear age is over.... What about Neuron bombs....? I mean Nuclear is sooooo 1945....

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Hmmm... I must have been thinking of Star Wars New Rebellion (Novel), where they used a Neuron bomb. Kills all the people by destroying their heads but leaves the buildings and infrastructure undamaged. I hear the Americans are researching a bomb such as that....

Yeah. LOL! Isn't South Korean the only other country on the pennisula. I think the analyst made a mistake one what was trying to really be said.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I seriously feel that N. Korea is going to try something. Just to test how rough the waters are. If the sanctions go through, N. Korea will have no choice but to do something. They have a hard enough time already trying to maintain the country. I don't think they are going to back down now and say "sorry".

Something might be going down in the next couple weeks. At the same time, I feel N. Korea is not going to survive much longer. I think its about time this stand off between North and South ends.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I think it pretty much a matter of waiting for N. Korea to make the bold move in order for the rest of the world to justify invasion or counter strike of some sort.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Interesting to see the Ambassador for North Korea walk out after the Security Council voted 15-0 in favour of sanction against them.

I wonder if they will declare actual war with the United States and possibly the world now.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Looks like the United States has confirmed that N. Korea had exploded a nuclear device. They say the bomb was probably less than a kiloton.

FELIPE NO

Well, the way things are going, something BIG is going to happen in the next few weeks to months. I really think the rest of the world is waiting for N. Korea to make the big move.

I get this feeling that Kim Jong Il is not healthy. In fact, I assume he is dying. Before he dies, I think he is going to do something crazy.

Just a theory...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

It could probably be all a public stunt to make the US people and possibly the rest of the world believe that N. Korea hates the world and wants to blow everything up, etc.

Kinda sad. But this could easily be seen as a propaganda tool, possibly for both sides.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Looks like North Korea is backing down from its stance by wanting to restart talks... Darn, I honestly thought something cool was going to happen. Geez, no more talk and more action!

There's nowhere I can't reach.
