Its just another tantrum. Kim Jong Il may be crazy but if he does one thing well its protect his own ass. He's not going to do anything that could actually provoke retaliation because he knows he'd be completely obliterated before the missiles landed in Seoul.

That said, I'm moving to Seoul in the fall and this makes me a tad uneasy.
I'd turn gay for Baby.... wait, that came out wrong.

South Korea, US and other countries give in because they can't be bothered.

Both sides become happy.

Few months later, North Korea bitches again.

You're an ego-manic, power hungry dictator whose had power clamps on your society for years. You're now on your deathbed, you call your eldest son "girly" (which I assume is a bad name to call someone who might proceed you). What do you do. The process can't last forever, especially with a sickening KJI.

End off with a bang, I guess?

I was reading in a pro DPRK forum someone saying that North Korea would "sink the entire island of Japan" if it continued it's hostile imperialist stance towards the U.S. I think the entire forum was nothing but trolls, but it was on an official DPRK site.


There are historical reasons why Japan`s neighbours are hostile towards Japan. The crimes japanese did against them are horrible.

I was just thinking (which is rare for me).

I hope my cause of death is a nuke, how awesome would that look on an obituary.

Yeah, I'm sure.

I don't want to die in some pussy way like having a heart attack. Who even does that?

I want to be flexing at a nuclear explosion or something awesome when I go.

852 people died because of that. It is speculated that the techonology was VERY high tech communication/radar and missile system.

There are far more superior systems than a weak nuclear bomb that North Korea is building.

So the question you all should ask is why they are doing so? Is Taiwan next to be threatened? What about Iran?


Hey, I read something like this in a thriller by a Finnish author called Ilkka Remes. Interesting ^_^

I`ll post some more for you then. There are just some thoughts gathered from people who have talked about what might of happened. Something to think about. I wrote this earlier so the alien part is aimed at the guy who said it is plain conspiracy and nothing more.

Fact : weapons were smuggled with M/S Estonia. Swedish custom officials ( Lennart Henriksson i.e and Swedish court) and estonian officials have reported so.

Question : The question is that were the weapons smuggled during that night? And what kind of a weapons were smuggled? Overall weapons were smuggled not once, but multiple times. So civilians were set in danger multiple times. Now this is a fact. Why did they let this happen? For who and why?

What kind of a weapons would you smuggle using 900 civilians as a shield? Multiple times.

Truckloads of AK47-s perhaps? Grenades? Water guns and ice creams? Walkie talkies?


We don`t know nor will we ever know if the weapons were transported that night or if they were supposed to be transported in the near future (check the dates when confirmed smuggling took place and the date when M/S Estonia went down) or if it was just an act to show that "enough is enough" by Russians. Clearly the stakes were higher than 900 human lives and it was a criminal act by all means on both sides. And yet nobody is sent to prison for allowing it to do. Nobody. Even if you carry weapons once then it`s a crime behalf of the civilians, but this went on and on and on.

You can search the conspiracy; need to concrete the wreck and the need to keep some of the information as a secret and "9/11, aliens" stuff on your own. There is a reason why relatives of the people who lost their lives and people who made it still fight for the truth.


Swedish government has classified what kind of a weapons were transported. Now think why there was a need to cover it first with sand and then with concrete. I seriously doubt there are divers who would like to see ~700 dead bodies left in the wreck.

Dunno, this whole thing seems more like a way to maintain domestic confidence in the regime. When the tensions blow over, they'll be bragging to their people how the entire capitalist world backed down at the sight of mighty NK, all praise the party and their selfless leadership, etc etc.

If everything you say is so transparent estoniaboy then it should not be hard for you to come up with at least one source instead of zero point nada?

You can state "facts" all day long, if you don't back them up nobody will believe you. So, just post your sources so we can check it out for ourselves then we will all believe you.

I was thinking the same thing... You're taking these articles out of context of this conversations. Number one, these (2) articles isn't even about selling of nukes but other kinds of warheads - at least, they wasn't explicit. Secondly, we're talking about a country sellling to another, not officers smuggling and trying to sell these weapons. If your article (previous page) proved anything, it proves governments are not approved of these actions! The problem with N.Korea government selling nukes is not a parallel to these officers smuggling weapons. If anyone reads the articles carefully, especially the link you posted on the previous page, they are not even remotely the same issues.

One more problem, you claimed this is a common occurence, why post something that barely resembles this claim which just happened today? Any past "vast" archives of GOVERNMENT selling NUKES in a big way to others AFTER the various major nuclear non-proliferation agreements?
It's a comedy to claim thy superiority when it's anothers' inferiority which elevated thy mediocrity
