thats what im thinking, i dont think that anything will really be done...
were seeing the same threats the usa gave before the missile launches, and they didnt do anything then.. albeit a nuclear weapon is a different story than a missile that didnt work.

man can you just imagine how crazy the media will go if these test work. Especially the right wing, they'll look at that and have another reason to attack some obscure country, one that cant blow us up.

Indeed. The US only wants to go to war with "threats" that they can easily beat.

I don't think he was suggesting it. I think he's saying that's what the US response would be.

I think it depends on what stance China takes toward North Korea. If we can't get china to retract their support of north korea, then we'll whimper like a frightened puppy and take no action at all.
China, while not largely capable of mobilizing troops to other parts of the world, is wholly capable of ruthlessly kicking the ass of ANY country that comes into their region of the world. North korea is also heavily entrenched, heavily militarized, and if they have nukes, they're capable of defending themselves mercilessly.
If china chooses to support North Korea, we are entirely powerless.
If we have china's blessing, we might be capable of action, but we'd be wary and so would any potential allies, because we'd know that North Korea has nukes and their leaders are insane enough to use them. Even if we got china's blessing to act, I doubt we would get any direct support from china, because they'd be afraid of nuclear assault.
At the best, I think we'd wind up going down some retarded path of appeasement that will not wind up being effective.

Apparently, there's already been a nuke test done by N Korean. I say good for them, that's quite an accomplishment... and it gives the US something to focus on other than invading other countries. Hopefully they won't feel that world domination is an option anymore. Or something along those lines, whatever... more wine.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!! If you're in Canada. Otherwise, whatever... more wine.

Yin and Yang, hopefully it will cause a domino effect with enrichment in surrounding countries, without a cold war of course. This will help keep America from becoming world Police. Just my opinion though.
