It is not whether a single person is happy or not, it is whether the MASSES are happy or not that reflects on the government's effectiveness.

Sub seen returning to Israel via Suez
Due to the nuclear threat the Iranians pose, Israel will most likely be striking down some of their problematic military facilities and the United States will not be intervening as that this is a conflict between two independent nations in a different continent. Although Iran is making threats that they will launch an all-out counter-offensive if Israel dare pull of a military operation but chances are it could all just be a bluff. Quote:

As it is, China rejects all notions that the government created the mess. For a more informative read, try this. But here's the shocker. Quote:
DOGS!? In a Muslim area!? Nutjobs for sure they are. Maybe the biggest mistake China did was to make Xinjiang autonomous. When they did, Han Chinese flocked there to open shop, and then the Uighurs also wanted independence at the same time. THey should have just used the SAR system. |

IMO, the concept of the SAR system was brought up a little bit late to be put in use for Xinjiang. +Taiwan is a totally different story. BTW, according to CCTV, (if anyone still wants to believe), the deaths are mainly Han-Chinese. Pictures are also circled around the internet showing people soaked in blood, and dead little children.

Don't get me wrong, I'm here hoping something is done soon, but I can't help but find it funny that the US is always the go-to handyman everyone looks at when shit breaks down. It's like we're that very skilled but somewhat crude plumber that gets the job done, but won't take your Chihuahua out for a walk when she needs. Everyone looks at France with awe-inspired eyes for their defense of human rights and sensibility, so why don't they take out a few North Korean nuclear facilities and cuts the US some slack?

Obviously these people are history nuts or are born outside the Cold War's peak periods. Besides I think military intervention is the way to go, but everyone is looking for US to send their SOF in to clean up the mess (or create a mess Kim is never going to recover from). So it is pretty much like politically maneuvering someone else to do the shitjobs for your sake. * - These people don't think about the future of anime. The nearest allies of US NK can nuke are SK and Japan.

mmmm not really. There WAS a lot of support during the initial days.
You don't want your country be handy-man, then stop preaching about democracy and act like an honest self-serving empire without any pretense. Wage wars for oil? Ok fine, but say it as it is and do not make it sound like you're "liberating" oppressed peoples. |

The Green Beret's motto is "De Oppresso Liber" or "To liberate the oppressed" in Latin. Though their actions are not always welcome, their "liberating of the oppressed" should be welcomed if they didn't create a mess like Afghanistan in the 1970s or Vietnam. Nevertheless, each scenario should be treated separately before we can pass judgements about each and every special activities unit.

I tell you man, The USA will be much better off if it stops being the synonym of the words "liberator" or "democracy". They won't be pressured to "condemn" the "evildoers" everytime anymore and thus, would get rid of this stupid double standard that puts them at a disadvantage.
Beacon of freedom no more. Be the empire you really are. |

My point is that you can't be outraged at a slaughterhouse if you eat meat. It's pure hypocrisy. Likewise, you can't be outraged when the US takes action after you're outraged it's taking no action whatsoever. Unfortunately I can't give much insight into current World events, what the implications of a direct military action would mean to our economy and to the current administration's chain of command. I have no doubt that something will be done sooner or later. Better sooner than later, preferably before we have a nuke going out somewhere in the World. Be it Japan, South Korea, or even a bomb that went off prematurely or a missile that failed and ended up causing disaster to the North Koreans themselves.
