BF2S Forums North Korea has a nuke that can reach the US.

we wouldn't retaliate with a nuke against NK even if they hit us first.  we would remove their government... it's not the people's fault he's a military dictator who would be committing suicide by launching a nuke, and we wouldn't punish them. 

our nuclear deterrent is solely for the reciprocity of mass scale attack by the soviets or china.

Bush also caused global warming by himself... notice how global warming stopped after he left office...lol
another 4 years with Bush and the Earth would have caught on fire...

Silly monkey. You can't start a post in this forum about US foreign policy without it turning into a Bush and/or Israel-bashing thread.

IF THIS IS TRUE, then its merely a form of saying "I don't want to be on the receiving end of USA's 'spreading of democracy'."

It is true. And you've missed the point. It was true long before Bush and Iraq.

It...has...nothing...to...do...with...Bush...or...Iraq.

Your argument is based on Bush's actions and rhetoric. nK's actions are not.

Don't tell me what my argument is about thank you.

Then perhaps you could be consistent in your argument.

Its not about Bush or Iraq and I am pretty sure i stated that.

I'm pretty sure you didn't. The closest you came was "Um Iraq is just an example". As an example, then it would be part of your argument.

Oh, and there's this pesky entry:

QED.

BN wrote:

Its about American foreign policy for the last 50 years.

ORLY? And just what "spreading of democracy" that would be viewed as a threat by nK has occurred? The only invasions ("invaded" being the word you used, btw) that have ostensibly been about "spreading democracy" occurred under Bush. Those would be Afghanistan and Iraq, with Iraq being the most controversial.

So tell me again how it's not about Bush or Iraq?

Edit: I havent seen any source for the claims that  NK has capability of hitting US. Please provide.

Here's something from a hard-to-find source:

It has been estimated to be able to reach 4600 miles, enough to hit the western states of the U.S.

And another:

The Taep'o-dong-2 (TD-2) is said to be a two or three stage missile with a range estimated at approximately 3,650-3,750 km with a 700-1,000 kg payload. Other sources credit the TD-2/NKSL-X-2** with a range in excess of 4,000-4,300 km.

And another:

The Taepodong-2 long-range missile is estimated to have a range of between 5,000 and 6,000 km, putting Alaska, Hawaii and parts of the west coast of the US within range.

There's this website. It's called Google. Give it a whirl.

Hey that's interesting. Pity they didn't come along for the rather costly ride like the rest of us.

That's because they knew it was bullshit.

The Iraq war was unneeded. It was founded on lies and bush should be tried and dealt with like what he is.

Don't make me say it.

You can get that too of what I said previously. The EMP will effect everything in America if shot at right.

It would have to hit power station grids and substations, at more than one location. No EMP in existence or well into the future could do that.

Read the quotes from the EMP Commission this was awhile back.
