Really interesting article I read today On how North Korean children are taught to hate America. During summer break school children visit an anti American museum.
Ridiculous and pathetic. Of course, we do the same thing only maybe a little more subtly.
What does the average American feel about North Koreans? I'm thinking many Americans, if not the majority, have a strong disliking for North Koreans. But what do we know about them? How many Americans know something as basic about NK as the fact that overall, NK women earn more money than men and more men stay home to raise the children than do women? Not many, is my guess.
Maybe if we just knew a bit more about each other, people in different parts of the world would find more interest in each other than hate. Maybe.

All your questions could be solved Blux if you took a trip to N. Korea. Go there and report your findings to this thread. There is nothing stopping you from going there right?

Yes, fear of flying!
But Henry has been there! What he says is very revealing. He criticizes the government there but is sympathetic of the people and describes them as very poor and fearful of their government.
My republican friend is all gung ho for bombing N. Korea. I try to tell him those are innocent people, babies, children, moms, dads etc. He doesn't care.

Does he care about South Koreans? Or are all yellow people expendable?

I would suggest he go live in NK for a while a get a taste of poverty and governmental repression. Weird how people judge an entire nation of people based on the injustices of a small minority there.

He doesn't hate the people. Just thinks it's the cost of doing business to get 'regime change'. Gotta crack a few eggs. Freedom bombs are coming your way.

And our children are brainwashed with Manifest Destiny and American Exceptionalism... among other things
How many people have been killed by American military adventures since the end of the Korean War? A few million in southeast Asia and a few million in the middle east maybe? And from what I can tell almost nobody gives a shit... speaking of brainwashing.

Washington (CNN)The US military has detected "highly unusual and unprecedented levels" of North Korean submarine activity and evidence of an "ejection test" in the days following Pyongyang's second intercontinental ballistic missile launch this month, a defense official told CNN on Monday.

And this administration instills a lot of confidence that no matter the crisis, it'll be handled intelligently and brilliantly.
Anyone else concerned about WMD's 2.0? Maybe Kelly was brought on to testify to their existence in front of Congress. We need to occupy a country in Asia according to the Magic 8 Ball, which I think is in line to replace Sessions or Tillerson.
Americans about the perceived threat from North Korea after it was revealed yesterday that they created a miniaturized ICBM missile capable of hitting the U.S.
"I do not believe that there is any imminent threat [from North Korea]," he said, per AP. "Americans should sleep well at night."
I lived in South Korea for over a year and did talk to many people who were born in North Korea and yes there is a big distrust of America there that still stems back to the original Korea war. The Korea people i met were great people and were liberal minded people but they even had a great dislike of America for what they perceived was america not caring about the people in N. Korea.
do you think Trump knows all the hype is over an anonymously sourced report in WAPO that nobody in our government has ever seen? Slow news week I guess

I have been to S. Korea several times, have many friends there and have met nobody who feels that way.

Anecdotal is great.
I am not saying that all people there feel this way at all but looking back at my post i can see why you would think I was saying that. should have been more clear.
Trump: "Terminal brain cancer is not contagious" McCain: "I don't know what he's saying and I've long ago given up trying to
interpret what he says,... That kind of rhetoric, I'm not sure how it helps."
"I take exception to the President's comments because you gotta be able
to do what you say you're gonna do," the Arizona Senator told KTAR radio
Tuesday, in an appearance with his daughter Meghan. " I don't think
that's a way you attack an issue and a challenge like this."

I'm not sure what the answer is to North Korea... nobody has been able to figure it out for like 60 years, as well as almost 25 of their nuke program.
I would say that a tangible and purposeful threat to launch missiles with indeterminable payloads to Guam should be reason to convene a meeting of the United Nations. Nobody wants "Fire and Fury" either way, so maybe a coalition can be formed to get the Jong Ils out of power once and for all and free those people. Like.... maybe Trump's threat was a good move if it was aimed more at our allies/UN? It caused Kim Jong Un to overplay the hand, justifying the need for gloabal intervention finally?

Here's one solution: Covertly smuggle in some great western music for the common N.K. person and download some of there's. Explain to them that you just want to share music and culture. We would get to hear some cool exotic sounds and they would get to hear some excellent western music. Finding common ground in cultural appreciation would ease tension between peoples.

North Korea WILL NEVER attack Guam or any other country.
Even crazy Kim knows they would be obliterated in seconds.

I tend to agree. I also have the "well, you never know - anything's possible - crazy things still happen" thoughts, but I still think the chances of the nut ever actually doing it are slim.

"but this time it's different..."
While North Korea regularly threatens to destroy the United States and its allies, the report was unusual in its detail.
