North Korea

How does everyone feel about this? I'm slightly worried, but the situation's nowhere near the stage of keeping me awake at night yet.

People keep looking toward the Middle East as a potential flash-point for the next world war. I have long said that Korea is far more likely.

I am more than slightly worried as this young fool appears unstable enough to just do something that we might end up regretting. At the very least, I think we will see some sort of resurgence of the cold war. And all at a time when the muppets in Westminster have decided that we can reduce our military capability!

I laughed when the PM said we still need Trident as North Korea can apparently land a missile on British territory (I didn't know we had territory in Western China); a true Blairism if I ever heard one!

I wonder if this 'young fool' as rebbonk describes him realises that he too will be in danger.
He looks a typical spoilt brat, used to having his own way. excitable and very dangerous.

Sadly, I think he's stupid and deluded enough to believe his own hype. I think we can only hope that the Chinese have a "quiet word" in his ear; unless, of course, they're behind it all!

I cant believe this chappie would welcome a word in the ear-quite possible he'd cut the wordees ear off. I made that up.

Things seem to have quietened down a bit over there. The media must've got bored.
