How upset would the rest of the world be if China just went in and took out the N. Korea government? Another thing - why McCain and Graham fweeeping about Iran for with the Korean crap going on? Or are they in the camp that Hawaii is a foreign country?

Watch out what you wish for.

Watch out what you wish for. Those North Korean missiles aren't very accurate. Could Vancouver by mistake.

In reply to Why doesn't China just slap

I imagine that it is, but I don't think that China has all that much influence with North Korea anymore. They don't have a good way to slap 'em down other than siding with the U.S. at the Security Council. They're loathe to do that for fear of undermining the regime, which they prefer to a pro-Western alternative, and because of more general opposition to U.N. imposed sanctions. But they came pretty close in the last resolution.

Do we actually mind that much? I mean... Hawaii? Hell, if North Korea's got 2 missiles, why not send 'em the coordinates for Alaska. Let's see if Palin can see North Korea from her house.

Besides. You guys made it with 48 states before.

To summarize. Lighten up. It's not like they're threatening anything valuable. Like North Dakota.

Why doesn't China just slap 'em down? I would think the N.Korean foolishness is getting rather tedious for China.

I don't think Mega-shark will be insulted by anything Genghis has to say for long. Chomp chomp. Didn't you see that airplane? I'm not going anywhere near Philly until Genghis moves again.

Megashark cannot be trusted

Megashark cannot be trusted to execute sensitive diplomatic missions. He's more of a chomp-em-to-bits kinda fish.

This was comforting. "It is almost unheard of for nations to knowingly self-destruct." Cheers! Thanks for that, G!

You know, this is when you really do wish you had oceanic friends of unusual size, whether toothy or octopular in nature, just to lend a hand... flipper... sucker... to help.

"We're not sure what happened exactly, but it almost appears as if the Kang Nam has been... bitten in two."

But now, since we've spurned the hand-flipper-tooth-sucker of friendship, this is what we're left with. I told you. But nooooo, said the Genghoid, let's mock our potential Neptunian allies. What possible good could they do us? Insane.
