North Korea declares war on US... For the lulz

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE66M10I20100724

This article states that North Korea said on Saturday it would begin a "sacred war" against the United States and South Korea at "any time necessary" based on its nuclear deterrent, in response to "reckless" military exercises by the allies.

Well, Kim Jong Il dun goofed. The North Koreans sank a South Korean ship in March, killing 46 people on board. Thus, South Korea and US forces have been training side by side. Should I be scared? I don't know. I'm just anxious to see whether or not North Korea will actually follow through. They claim to be fighting a war against imperialistic America. I can sympathize with a sort of want for liberation for the World Police mentality the American military has. I'm not entirely sure what the American sanctions on Korean nukes states. However, it always seems, politically, that we feel the need to oppress nations for doing the same things we did. Okay, okay.... Kim Jong Il is insane and oppressive. He destroys human rights and flushes civil rights down the toilet. The fact that North Korea feels the need to obtain and keep nuclear weapons just proves the fact that Kim Jong Il is insane.

This is a so-called retaliatory war. North Korea states, in this quote, an obvious thing: "The army and people of the DPRK will start a retaliatory sacred war of their own style based on nuclear deterrent any time necessary in order to counter the U.S. imperialists and the South Korean puppet forces deliberately pushing the situation to the brink of a war," the North's National Defense Commission said. The Defense Commission calls the US imperialist and the South Koreans a puppet force. The US ARE the World Police and are exploiting South Korea's geographical position to North Korea for their own use. The thing is, North Korea is only doing this to heighten the stakes of US nuclear sanctions.

Is this just Kim Jong Il being all "LOL watch what happens when I say war!"? Or is it a real cause for concern? I'm hoping it's the former. The US is already burned fighting terrorism (you cant defeat and idea) in Afghanistan. If North Korea decides to start a war, where will the resources come from to fight THAT war? Will we need a draft? Who knows. What I do know is that North Korea, through all of this media craziness, is making a bold statement. Although the statement was bold in a slightly irrational way, by declaring war, North Korea is saying "American military should really stop being the World Police. Like, seriously you guys. We're crazy, you know this. Why are you still trying to make Kimmy Il stop being crazy?". North Korea will always be a Fascist Authoritarian state cloaked under Communism. Kim Jong Il's son is set to become the next leader when the Korean succession takes place. Will this leader be less insane and more receptive to nuclear sanctions? Who knows? North Korea will constantly have problems politically and militarily. Should we be worried right now? I don't think so. It's probably just North Korean media scare tactics. I'm pretty sure North Korea has already declared war on us last year...

The U.N. should continue to sanction North Korea's nuclear weapons potential. War shouldn't be the answer but Kimmy Jong isn't listening. So, where do we go from here? Full on nuclear war? Do we invade their country? WIll they attack us? Should we be afraid? So many questions so little time. What we SHOULD do is talk to Kim's son, corrupt him and his regime, and then turn it into a touristy money-making Asian paradise. THE AMERICAN WAY!

AMERICA!
