Current Events > CEman in Europe, how do you feel about the North Korea situation?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I don't know how likely it is you guys would get pulled into this circus but are you guys scared? Amused? Other emotions? What?

Not scared for my own safety, but for the impending humanitarian crisis and what it would mean for a challenge to the power dynamics between Russia/USA/China.

It's amusing in a sardonic way. The idea that what stands between two of the world's biggest manchildren and their fingers on the nuke buttons is Dennis Rodman...I mean you couldn't even write that.

Is this how it was in the 60s??

I saw a reddit topic on this exact thing, asking people who lived through the cold war if it's comparable. They essentially said it was a hell of a lot worse back then, because Russia is a lot more scary than NK.

More like the 80's.

i mean there's no way NK will win if they went to war. they'd be annihilated

like pinky, not worried about personal safety but just wider implications (e.g. china and russia siding with NK)

although NK definitely needs to be taken down a peg

Yeah, what pink and Parappa said. Biggest concern is for the disaster and harm done to NK's neighbours who may likely suffer - and the innocent people of NK as well, if war does actually come or if NK acts out even more now that China has sided with sanctions.
