Oh my Mr Bumble Bee

Some people are proof positive that a little knowledge in the wrong hands can be dangerous.....like a child that has figured out how to load a gun but no rhyme or reason where to shoot it.

If the tv watchers followed your dogma.....and waited for the book to come out.....we'd all be living in the past.

The daily news is about current affairs....not the accumulation of so called facts wrapped in a biased package that shows a comparison to the evolution of events and its possible outcome. And some tv documentaries ARE based on published literature w/ the author's involvement.

And we all know.....if its written and published.....it must be true!!! aaaaaaahahahahahahahaha

AND,don`t watch just 1 news channel,watch them all.I`m a news junkie,I get up in the morning and check every thing CBC,CNN,BBC,Sun,you name it.I`m sure that the same 2 guys don`t run them all.Also,you have to develop a bullsh1t filter.Don`t believe everything you hear or read but if there is a common thread from 20 different sources then maybe..............there is something to it.

The US do not have much to gain as there is no oil to take over and if there is the chinese have it. All they are doing is a self defense roll for SK.

In part....true

But the bigger picture is....If China supports NK....The US NEEEEEED China (China has the power to crush n crumble the USA)....and cannot afford to upset China......It's based on economics for the US

Default totally disagree ....

But the bigger picture is....If (not IF - how forcefully) China supports NK....The US NEEEEEED China (NO China needs the USA and all the export channels Via World markets provided by S Korea). China has the power to crush n crumble the USA ( I doubt it ) .... and cannot afford to upset China......It's based on economics for the US ( THE USA is china's biggest market - Europeans and Scandinavians have very little demand for China made products ... China holds the BULK of US bonds - if the USA goes South China loses hundreds of billions )

China does not NEED the US.....its not about import/export. It's the fact that the US is hugely indebted to China...China IS the World's economic stronghold and could rule the planet if they chose to.

The USA gotta kiss China's behind or risk gettin pooped on....and poop flows downhill.....then Canada will follow

You should go to China some time. I think you'd be surprised what you encounter just off the beaten path, even within the cities.

Goin to China nxt year....I'll report back

All cities have poverty....but what you may see on the surface doesn't always reflect the economical undercurrents. It only reflects on how the gov't runs the country and how some people live.

Stating China is going to run out out fresh water is absurd, any developed nation can filter water; there's lots of desalination plants feeding nations such as Saudi Arabia, Dubai, etc.

I am getting the feeling that NK is either actually going to do something, or Kim feels the need to rattle his saber more loudly than his predecessors, being that he's part of the FaceBook generation and all. He can't live without feedback from his adoring populace.

I know that the censorship has to be utterly rampant over there, but I wonder how much of the populace buys the propaganda and how much see him for the lunatic that he is . After all, with the abundant means of communication available, a lot of truth has to be filtering through to the NK people.

Is it not obvious that we are being transformed into a strict petro-state?
Is it not clear that the fall of the petro-dollar is driving our aggression against those states we are not benefiting from in this regard?

People believe NK is a threat?


good grief.

Why don't you do a little research into that assumption.

A few guys dont just own most televised news, they own print news as well.

Nothing I've written in this thread has been terribly outrageous, yet it certainly is hitting a nerve.

You can't just hide your head under a pillow mumbling, "It isn't true".

Cool

"The further a society drifts from the truth the more it will hate those that speak it." G, orwell.
which segment of business , government, or the media has not shown its self corrupt or untrust worthy to the common man. How exactly can nk effect an attack on north america air craft would be nutrilized, none of there missiles reach 3000k .
Imo short of a terrorist attack NK Cannot be held very seriously. Worrisome perhaps requiring a close eye with all our fine tech.
Seriously requiring a military respone bordering on absurd. To those that suggest a nuclear response where exactly do you think the fallout will settle . Lol

My cousin's daughter is going back into the Harbin area to try and assist the farmers in improving agriculteral techniques.

The last time she was there, dead bodies were left to rot along the roadside and the people were starving.

On her second upcoming visit, she does not expect life to be much better.

It is so nice to read the posts of the chattering class.
