North Korea has a successful nuclear test (North Korea's Nuclear Weapons)

[Roostervier]

i can't say this for certain, but i'd have to think we've got some forms of agreement going on with occupied places that prevent us from just packing up and leaving. not to mention we use these places as a way to extend our military influence and response time in other regions of the world (leaving would then, therefore, be much more difficult). simply saying "let's leave" without thinking about the consequences isn't that great of an idea, although i think weaning ourselves off of foreign entanglements would be an alright idea (refusing to get involved in any future places, and finishing up where we are now).

Oh my, this could get ugly.

[ICEE]

All things considered, if North Korea does do something fucking retarded, Russia and China probably wouldn't destroy their ties with the U.S to help them. They're both too involved in the United States economy to risk going to war with us.

Then again, everyone's economy IS in the shitter, and WWII DID get us out of the Great Depression...

S. Korea isn't willing to risk war over one ship. There's too much at stake. Out of the economy's that took a hit, Seoul wasn't that badly affected.

/story.

Just talk's for now.

Only because of the War Factories that the US did and most of the women helping to fill in mens jobs for the time during WW2. Only because of war factories helped boost the economy to get us out of it. And there were more people back then that worked harder then today, since today most (not all) people want their stuff just handed to them and not working as hard.

And all the lazy people not wanting to get a job too is why the economy is doing bad. But that's off topic from Korea.
