North Korea: Is it staged? Or do we actually have an unhinged maniac with his finger on the button?

For all we know, the North Koreans may not even know this shit is going on.

No it doesn't.

There may be no dichotomy...

That was obligatory. ;-)

i really am beginning to believe he was just birdwatching or somert

The drawback to incessant conspiracy theorizing is the subconscious belief that whatever's going on in the world is the part of some larger, controlled "agenda."

What I'm asking is: What if this is outside of the boundaries of that?

What if this is just a guy who, without a small nuclear arsenal at his disposal, would simply run into a crowd at a local college and stab 20 innocent bystanders? But because he DOES have a small nuclear arsenal at his disposal expresses his craziness by setting off a nuclear war...?

or stabbing someone with a nuclear missile

that too LOL

yes 2 sugars please

there is genuine concern that NK scientist could create a nuclear knife out of this thread

to believe that a person or persons have complete control of all disasters or "events" would be nuts.

to say that there are people who would capitalize on virtually every single one of them is entirely different.

Lil kimmy may be a fruitcake

He may also be just what someone needed in order to get something done

never let a good crisis go to waste?

distractions serve a larger purpose also

my friend just said why arsenal and not manchester united?
a fucking nuclear manchester united , anything at all is possible on GLP

That's a hell of a gamble..

wouldn't everton have something to say about that? ;-)

never let a good fruitcake go to waste neither

the nuclear premiership , they earn a bomb those guy s, the energy they radiate is dynamite, the whole crowd explodes when they hit target en score , ref always gets blamed

To answer your question in simple terms is this....

What would that fucking whack job gain other than trying to in some small freaking way to make a name for himself in the name of his ass-clown father-child?

Let's just say he pushes that old fucked off rusty button made in china and the fireworks go off.... One, they get shot to shit, no boom-boom. Two, that country is wide open for full on ass whopping like nobody has ever seen... Wait!! That won't happen cause "O" is in office. So, he does this.... We meet with the UN and apologize for everything we've done in the past to make this happen (because God knows, its our fault) and everyone here suffers the consequences.

He's a pawn with a big mouth that won't do a damn thing!!

Def con Doom Down......

I don't think it's that much a gamble.

Worse case scenario; Lil fat kimmy fires off a nuke or 6. Anything of short range would likely soil the region and eventually spread, do some peripheral damage, and subside.

Long range? They never hit target. Again, mess things up a bit but nothing globally severe.

In either case, N.K. gets pounded into oblivion by every single side ~ including from across the Chinese border.

What concerns me much more is what is going on at home while we're all distracted by the Pillsbury doughboys latest antics.

bear in mind when I say that, I have a kid in the region.

I DO NOT wish for conflict.

Pretty sure it's all being designed and fronted by chinese and united states businessmen. The media is hyping it up too much.

More obama stuff...honestly, it's not even funny anymore.

What does the person who shoots up a movie theater have to gain from doing so? A name? Doubtful. More likely that they just wanted to kill people.

Say that's Kim's game...same thing, instead of killing his own people in a movie theater, he invites a military in to commit hard core mass murder.

The idea that he's a "pawn" is unlikely.

Now the Taiwanese are getting involved
