News Is North Korea's Defiance of U.N. Sanctions Pushing Us Closer to War?

[Vanadium 50]

Delusions of grandeur.

But still dangerous.

Consider this scenario - the DPRK again re-affirms that they are at war with the US. That day, they test-fire a missile into the Pacific, and due to a navigational failure, it heads towards Hawaii. At the same time, a Styx missile intended to be a warning against a US Navy frigate observing the launch from international waters (but inside the DPRK's self-proclaimed "exclusion zone") accidentally hits it, sinking it.

What do you think the US response would be?

Prove me wrong.

I can, but that is not how it works around here. You don't get to claim your unsupported statements stand until someone else does the work to show otherwise. You have made broad sweeping assertions, some of it directly counter to common knowledge. Please provide some evidence.

Edit: let's not go off track in response either to some other rant. I'm talking specifically about these claims:

Right now,..
the world is powerless, ..
we cannot enforce sanctions, ..
we cannot stop North Korea sharing nuclear technology with other states, ..
we cannot do anything

A couple of them are logically unsupportable for any fact base.

You are right. North Korean ships cannot be boarded if North Korea doesn't want that. ...

Unless you intended to qualify this to legalities only, this is nonsense.

The information has been provided in previous posts or maybe you should try reading the news, it is a good source of information.

Please enlighten me about what you think wrong about my assertions.

How can someone debate with another when the other keeps shaking his head, sighing in despair and not offering any counter arguments.

No, the only source provided was the Telegraph and AFP pieces on the latest ramblings from NK. They do not support your 4 assertions.

And that's trolling.
