    Took him down nearly 20%, with a 20% deposit. I'll wait until the report comes through, and show you what it is says. I'm hazy as **** at the moment, I'm not taking a lot in.

    Interesting. Everybody is saying it's North Korea's biggest test yet, and clear signs of big improvements.

    Not be long before the Yanks take him out.

    Well basically the north twatted the south & the ham shanks in the process.
    A bit like the Vietnamese did.
    The USA has won one solitary war on it's own.
    That unfortunately was against us.

    I didn't know this, I thought the UN occupied North Korea at some point, to be honest my knowledge on history with stuff like this is terrible, considering how much these things interest me I have no excuse really.

    Well I do, I hate reading books, I can't sit still and my mind wanders off on stupid little paths, on every page, it can take me 2 weeks to read a short book on holiday, usually they just get wet and put in the bin before I even finish them.

    The North Koreans were supported by Chinese troops in massive numbers I believe.

    I wonder how it'd pan out this time, the press seem to think the Chinese have NK's back, but do the Chinese want to shut down relations with their biggest customer? They couldn't afford to, let's put it that way, they'd ruin themselves for the sake of aiding a pathetic little deluded Choad.

    My guess is The US will give S.Korea all the equipment they need (they probably already have) to take NK out.

    I think the Chinese would be taking a more active role with their allies to try and keep **** from boiling over. NK are going to do what they want and could quickly escalate. I reckon the Chinese will see their involvement as something to which can implement cold war like stalling. If NK appear to be acting alone in their weapons programe I think the US would hit them sooner or late. China being involved would get the us to stand off a bit. The Chinese economy isn't as stable as it was a few years back and they have made great strides to link up with the western world. NK could blow all that for them so they need to stick close to them. I think China will be putting pressure on NK not to be so confrontational.

    As allies to NK they'd have to have their back. Last thing they'd want is anything leading to a war with the west imo. I think they'll be advising NK to cool their boots.

    That's my thinking as well mate, it just depends whether the Russians are poking the bear, so to speak.

    N.Korea is a funny one, these missiles they're testing is in my opinion to see what sort of protection S.Korea have got. We know they were looking at Israel's Iron Dome as protection from the nutter next door, but I think it'll more likely be the yanks implementing that sort of system into S.Korea.

    There's no way nutjob Kim is gonna wither away without at least attempting to cause trouble, whether he'll embarrass himself like a muppet, or get backing from a heavyweight nation, will decide his fate.

    The Russians are a worry though, hopefully they feel they've got enough on their hands already and discourage from their end. Don't think either would fold on their alliance obligations though so if the US get involved, which they will, there's a lot risk of this blowing up globally.

    China, Russia, N Korea and Iran, isn't a good combination, but that's what we would be up against.

    Think the original was by the Jolly Boys, they are still alive and kicking around Ocho Rios.
