The US doublespeak politics once again proves what I had said before. It pays to have nukes.

Seems like the NK strategy of building nukes to blackmail the US has worked once again.

The lesson to be learned here is simple. Cuba should start its own nuclear program as soon as possible.

Btw it was after the US did cut off the promised aid to NK that Kim gave green light to the nuclear project. NK won, and also China won: when the US screamed against the NK nuclear tests, Kim didn't flinch. China said stop, and they stopped.

No, stoping from creating nukes is not doing something good. Is stoping to do something bad.

Lesson... start a nuclear program, blackmail the world and youll get cookies if you stop, like NK.

If you dont have nukes youll get whacked!

The NATO only respects power.

Might makes right as the saying goes. Nuclear weapons are the equalizers on the national level. It doesn't matter how advanced your tanks, aircraft or ships are. They all still melt like hot wax when a nuclear weapon goes off nearby, and that usually makes those with much bigger armies sit up and take notice.

They were not a threat in 2001 either when Bush added them to the Axis of Evil. That was just a backup plan for more defense contracts if we had accidently captured Osama too fast.

Using a knife when invading Canada would be slightly different than using a nuke.

Same reason why the US never lifts a finger to stop Israel.

I can understand why they would be afraid of Iran getting a
"Can't touch this," bomb.

Err...

Could someone explain to me how the Cubans are on the "official baddies list", but the North Koreans aren't?

Seriously, this is super retarded.

Very easy. Cuba is the only country to cozy up to the USSR after getting the shaft from the US and had the audacity to not roll over and die when the USSR collapsed while having a military capacity that is, in comparison to the USA, simply pathetic.

Uhu... still not entirely sure why this makes them baddies tbqh.

"So are the North Koreans"

"no, we don't"

"Aye, Somalia, you're in there, you too Belarus"
"BUT WE'RE NOT FAI-"
"Haha, yes you are, aye, you too, Uganda"
"NO FAIR"
"Your country is pish"

:D Very well explained

The fact that Cuba has been able to hold the US back with pure diplomacy is one of the reasons that the US keep the blockade/tantrum.

Yeah, sorta like the bigger the chest of a male pigeon is, the more notice it gets from the females. You could call it nuclear mating season or the like.:p

Indeed. And Iran too. Any and all nations need nuclear weapons to prevent the possibility of the US invading them.

Not really. See how the US got in a big snit when France wouldn't go along with its Middle East adventures? Same thing here. Except since Cuba won't play lapdog and let US corporate interests own everything, they go in the "bad guys" list.

It's not like the US really cares if its friends are democracies or dictatorships after all. Only so long as they keep feeding it resources, it'll be happy buddies with you.

Amen.

I mean, nobody in the U.S. blinked as eye as Dubya ranted about the Evil Dictator Saddam Hussein who oppressed and tortured his own people- nevermind he'd been doing it for decades and we swept that under the rug while Iraq was an ally. Or that at the same time the country was kissing Saudi Arabia's oil-rich ass, despite the place being a theocratic monarchy run by the same hardline Islamic sect that brought us Al'Qaeda.

If you do anything in north korea that might inform you of the outside world you die. If your not part of the millitary you starve. If your part of the millitary you learn that you are trapped in a shit country that holds the world to ransom by developing nuclear weapons.

If there was one country I could remove from the face of the earth it would be North Korea. The world will be better off once the last country in the dark ages is finally removed

You have to understand the logic of American capitalist imperialism to understand it's relationship to to the 'third world'. American doesn't want to countries to create their own national industry, they should instead limit their production to agricultural and mineral raw materials, which were to be sent for industrial processing to America. In other words, they wanted less-developed economies to be a mere appendage of the American economy, it's rape, pure and simple.

Africa will NEVER have a skilled population and an independent industrial economy because America keeps corrupt dictators and kleptocrats in power, who keep the people living in the middle-ages with only enough 'technology' to rape the country of it's resources and send them abroad to give the ruling class more foreign currency to spend, no skills are transfered, nothing to given to develop the nation and improve the plight of the common people.

Africa will never develop under the current capitalist imperialism, it will remain forever a backwards quarry-nation for China and the West.
