#1 Won't be long now! The US will soon have to reach for the ankles, and at that point will realize the only viable option would be to introduce counter nukes to South Korea (provided they don't freak out from the prospect of 'Detente' having to quickly take shape)!! The stock market will fall atleast 2 to 3 hundred points in one day, when their Trinity Test occur! Japan will damand a US umbrella coverage within the first week!! You heard it here first!!

#3 smn, what on earth makes you think we would trust the South Koreans with nukes? or that we'd need to place our own there in order for them to be effective?

Japan is adjusting their statutes deliberately and will respond as need be.

#4 SK doesn't need US nukes. They have the technology and materials to build bombs at anytime. They already generate almost 1/2 of their electricity with nuclear power.

#5 smn, we have no need to entrust the South Koreans with nukes -- we already have many, many nukes that can reach North Korea at any time. Some are on subs, some are on stealth bombers, and if all else fails, some are on ICBMs. The only thing to hold us back is fallout -- radioactive and political.

#6 We all know that the US will not preimptively launch a nuclear strike against North Korea unless we're targeted first. Lil Kim considers the south as a freebe; just as it's puppet master consider Taiwan a freebe (as did Hong Kong)! North Korea is mired in the Chicom's social, political and economic projections. And if you had to choose between arming South Korea and Japan with simultaneous nuclear capacity or shutting down Walmart, what would you do?

#9 I would arm Tiawan and Japan with nukes and anti-ballistic missles, shop at Wal-Mart and tell China and N.Korea to hate the game, not the player.

#16 "2 to 3 hundred points in one day"
Well, smn, a 200 point drop would put us where we were last month. A 300 point drop would put us where we were last October. A 2,000 point drop would put us where we were a couple of years ago. You need a new very deep source -- this one's got his hand deep in your pocket (on your wallet).
