How Do You Solve A Problem Like Korea?

[Milsap]

I fail to see how any of this has to do with North Korea. I appreciate what I say may be a little misguided, but that's who I am, okay? Okay.

dont forget its not like the uk is one to talk about brainwashing and NATIONALISM and THE FLAG

Whilst I don't agree that Americans are being brainwashed, British people made less fuss over the Royal Wedding and stuff than America did, and it's not even Americas monarchy!

But Americans make just as big of a deal over their flag, and don't even get me started on July 4th...

(Edit: Also, just a small hate of mine, when Americans say 'God Bless America' in that southern accent, I heard a few people say it in California; it's almost cringeworthy... But I like America, it gave us Six Flags )

But, on the topic of Korea, I think America needs to step back a little, fair enough have a back-up plan, but I think a lot of the problem is Korea isn't coping with the pressure of having a superpower watching over them, just as a person wouldn't make sensible decisions if a gun was being pointed at them at all times.

You have a point there.

Kim Jong Un is paranoid. NK never grew out of that Imperialistic way of rule that the other Asian countries ditched just after WWII/Vietnam. You know they're getting out of hand when even China is telling them to grow up.

This is news to me

[NTN]

The same way cops enforce the law, and how honestly, nobody likes them, America tries to enforce rules, and nobody likes them for that. America should back off a bit, and I'm sure that's what we're starting to do. North Korea wouldn't go far with its threats, for in the beginning and in the end the country is alone.

[SirBlaziken]

Milsap and Draghost are right, its not like NK will start Korean War II.

[Spriter]

It seems like people aren't mentioning that Kim Jong Un is threatening that to win over the NK public and military, otherwise they would try and overthrow him. Apprently.

[Milsap]

They don't need winning over. They already think that HE is the God and the West is the bad guys.

[SirBlaziken]

It seems that NK is brainwashed, they think that no one can touch them, they think that the west is evil. It's not exactly helping my country's image when we are interfering and sticking our noses in at every chance we get. We (America) should allow them to solve their own problems, and maybe interfere if they threaten even more war than they do now. 

[Milsap]

North Korea is very isolated. They don't have the internet, they have a government-run internal network that only allows access to state news and the weather as well as an internal email system. Their reluctance to trade with anybody means the people are starving and a vast majority of people outside of Pyongyang are very poor.

The only people who can really save North Korea are the people going against the government. But that's difficult when your leader is God.
