Comments on: N. Korea Preparing For Another Nuke Test?

U.S. Intelligence Suggests North Koreans Might Test Again

We move our manufacturing to China, we buy there products, and they being flush with US currency finance our dept buy buying US Government issued bonds. This allows us to keep our government and economy afloat by financig our record budget deficit (8 trillion dollars). We basically have traded our prosperity and future for cheaper goods. They hold more US debt than any other country. If they called in what we owe them tomorow, our government would go bankrupt. Simple as that. One thing we can do is balance the budget and pay down this insane debt. Another is to stop giving US companies tax incentives to move their operations to China and other countries.

all americans KNOW the Chinese are not to be trusted---except you I guess!!!!

[laurieleemoo]

let me guess ellygunerma---you are chinese right?

[laurieleemoo]

ellygumera---what planet are you from---the Chinese have never been able to be trusted. We have just tolerated them as we do business with them----but don't you think for a minute that anyone has ever actually TRUSTED them.WHAT A JOKE!!!!!!!!

[laurieleemoo]

adventurapa---yes i am willing to pay a little more---small price to pay for diverting nuclear wars don't you think????? well--you tell that to your grandchildren will you---that they live in a nuclear world 'cause grandpa did not want to pay a few $ more. You would really be so selfish to use that excuse to your grandchildren when they are living in a highly dangerous, nuclear world full of nuclear wars---I'm sure that we go over well with them!

[ellygumera]

It's called TRUST...finally, we have gained the trust and confidence of the Chinese government - such that they are willing to help us make a better peaceful world where everyone enjoys abundance of peace and harmony.

This is one thing Great about the Chinese people, once you gained their trust and confidence - they become one of your most valuable friends! Remember the early Chinese in American built the railways for progress...looks like China is helping the West build another railway again - the railway for peace and prosperity for a better tomorrow for East & West.

The reason people buy chinese products is the price. They are less then American made products.
Be prepared to pay higher prices if we boycott Chinese products. That probably includes the computer your typing on.

The US cannot invade or attack North Korea because the troops are stuck in Iraq.
Can't use nukes because then everyone who has them will think it is ok to do the same to their enemy.

Talking and sanctions is the only option right now, other then bombing. Bombing means POW's and the threat of invasion of South Korea. And the beginning of the draft.
The answer is never that simple.

When the sanctions fail to make progress, the only option will be war.
Let's hope that's not something else Bush leaves for the next President to get us out of when he leaves office.

The only real answer is to put a stop to it now.
Just as John Kennedy did with Cuba.
Let the world know we will not accept North Korea with Nukes. Or Iran.
That is the only way to get action.
To put an end to it now.
Anyway you look at it, It's bad for all of us.

Funny,
If it was Denmark or Iceland, who wanted Nukes, would we be as worried?

[laurieleemoo]

oh and frankly6---i don't know about you---but i will do what i have to---i will go without if i have to in order to get the message thru to China. I am willing to sacrifice a little in order to keep nuclear weapons from spreading. It would be a small price to pay--don't you think? Maybe its too hard for you though---maybe you can not hang tuff with the rest of us.

[laurieleemoo]

yes, that is a good one janem4----you are right---according to the world------its all Bush' fault---and i guess according to the americans all our problems have arisen in the past 6 years. That is pretty funny, isn't it?

[laurieleemoo]

i don't think ford's problem is where they do business---its the fact that there sales are way down---everyone is buying Japanese cars---they are better built. Ford may do themselves some good to build a better car. If americans learn to buy american cars also---that would help. Also, have you ever wondered how much money this country would have if were weren't always giving all our money to these other nations. People say we over spend----well that may be, but we have also over donated over the past 50 years. We aren't the world's answer to all the world's problems

[patriotic9]

Laurieleemoo
Ford company is goin to lay off about 30,000 employees in five years from USA.It's because they have built the same industry in INDIA.The same Mechanical Engineer they pay about $8,0000 a month in US,they will pay $800 a month in INDIA.Do they care about people in USA loosing their jobs.Hell no.It's just one example.How many things we gonna stop buying due to this reason?

[laurieleemoo]

I bet people said the same thing about Japan when I was growing up as everything was made in Japan then----This situation with China being the monopoly in product can change just like it did with Japan. According to people like you though--i guess its impossible, huh???? Wrong!!! You know---however do you accomplish anything in life with an attitude like that???

[laurieleemoo]

and who's got you brainwashed anyway----that we "can't" and that China's investment in our economy is holding us together----do you know what the TRADE DEFICIT is with China. I hate to tell you but they we import way more than we export to China. Haven't you noticed they have little by little taken THEIR business elsewhere.

[laurieleemoo]

FRANKLY6-----there goes someone using that word again "CAN'T" . You are telling me we CAN'T????? Are you actually trying to tell me that i HAVE to buy CHINA'S PRODUCTS??????? oh yeah----well watch me and watch everyone else who doesn't buy from them either. WHAT ARE THEY GONNA DO----ARREST US. you see---i never use the word "can't' when it comes to doing something i intent to be successful in....No, sorry ----the word 'CAN'T" IS NOT EVEN IN MY VOCABULARY. i was raised that I CAN do anything I put my mind to......SO WATCH ME----AND JUST TRY AND STOP ME-----'cause my mission now in life is to make sure the americans stop buying chinese products. i CAN stop buying CHINA'S products and NO ONE can stop me or anyone else who wants tojoin in on the BOYCOTT.

[laurieleemoo]

would you make an agreement with someone you have had experience in dealing with and know they don't keep their agreements. Would that not be called a FUTILE EFFORT. And exactly how many times should we try this---okay you say we should try one more time---and there will be the people who would never learn and want to try over and over. I mean where to these endless, good for nothing talks end. Why do we keep going thru this over and over again. What the first basketball was not good enough. What he just wants to keep talking with us til he gets his BASKETBALL COLLECTION. ???????

[frankly6]

Can't stop buying China's products. Their investment in US debt is the only thing holding our economy together. Welcome to the new Chinese cetury courtesy of the GOP and an 8 trillion dollar defecit.

As for not moving factories from the USA to China, there are actually tax incentives, courtesty of the GOP, that actually encourage American companies to move manufacturing oversees.

[laurieleemoo]

yeah right verzz--why don't we sit down and make an agreement with someone who we have already been there-done that with. Yes, why don't we just stick our finger right back in the socket and get burned again. All you people who want to go back to six party talks----where have you been----WE HAVE ALREADY DONE THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laurieleemoo]

all this other *** is merely POLITICAL RHETORIC-----Enough already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laurieleemoo]

hey verrz---when are you going to stop blaming our government and take some responsibility as an American. WE ARE THE PROBLEM---WE THE PEOPLE, BY THE PRODUCTS FROM CHINA----If you have ever bought a chinese product---then you are part of the problem---well, not just you per say, of course we all are---we the american people buy the products and no one forces us to do so.

[laurieleemoo]

hey three o six----all the more reason to BOYCOTT CHINA'S PRODUCTS. When you look at a disease a good doctor will try to treat the illness itself and not just the symptons. In this case N. Korea is the symtpon and CHINA is the disease!!!!!! If we want to deal with N. Korea----we have to SLAM the pressure down on CHINA-----the main culprit in all this!!!!!!!!!
