cap28:

what point are you trying to make here?

China has every right to develop a military defence system and if that means developing nuclear capability to defend its sovereignty - so be it.

the united states is the only nation that has used nuclear weapons against its enemy - they are therefore the loose canons in this whole situation.

You clearly haven't read my piece or you may have had trouble understanding it. Where in it did i state that the Chinese do not have a right to develop a nuclear capability?

My point is just a reflection of my frustrations with people who couldn't be bothered to reason their arguments through before attemtping to force their unreasonable logic down the throat of the rest of the world.

Someone says "US to wage Nuke War on China, Russia" another one supports this line of reasoning based on the fact that "US is concerned about Chinese growth and the only way to stop it is to nuke the Chinese" ... Jesus wept! are people such dumb-asses?

If China knows that US has any slight chance of waging a Nuclear war against it in the near future, anyone with half a brain will think Chinese policy makers would be stockpiling on their nuclear arsenal - which they are not, or spending a lot on development of second strike capability - which they are not. China at the moment, seem to be concerned about Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands, if you think someone will nuke you in the near future, you should be doing something else.

People talk about nuclear wars like it is something out of some hollywood fiction. Thank goodness the guys in charge of these nukes don't think like dumbasses. There are several ways to sabotage another country's economy, dropping nukes on them isn't one. What a childish senseless silly thought.

Rossikk: It's not actually inferiority complex that's worrying them. Their problem is that the rise of China will eclipse US economic dominance, something that would lead to a catastrophic drop in US living standards. The reason the US is so 'mighty' today is that other nations trade in the dollar. Commodities like oil and gas are traded in dollars. This keeps the dollar in great demand and its value artificially high, whereas it should be very low since the US is producing so little, at uncompetitive prices. As China's economy expands and stabilizes at world number 1, other nations will eventually adopt the Chinese currency as the global trading instrument of choice. So an attack on China - a nuclear attack on China - is seen by the Americans as the only way to avert the impending 'disaster'.

So Chinese Policy makers knew the US wants to wage a nuclear war against it in the future and it is not currently stockpiling its nuclear arsenal in huge amount for that D-date? except perhaps, those guys in china don't really know, only this Poster does.

A nuclear war isn't one of those eroti.c scenes you watch on the tv with soap in your hand. Any nuclear war between major powers - NATO, Russia or china will bring a devastating effect that will see more than a quarter of mankind perish, if you don't know this simple stuff, then by all means, i encourage you to stick to the jokes section

The nuclear confrontation began two decades ago.

In 1994, it brought the small, crowded, heavily urbanised Korean peninsula close to a potentially cataclysmic war.

In the Spring of that year, the Clinton administration seriously considered air strikes on North Korea's small nuclear reactor at Yongbyon.

US military chiefs planned a massive reinforcement of American military forces in South Korea - a process that risked provoking the pre-emptive North Korean strike that it was designed to forestall.

After months of crisis, Washington finally agreed to direct talks with Pyongyang - a long term North Korean goal - and an agreement was reached that traded a nuclear freeze for economic aid diplomatic concessions.

It is debatable who blinked first. But two decades later, North Korea has a small and possibly growing stockpile of nuclear weapons - and the United States no longer contemplates going to war to stop it.

Kim Jong-il was celebrated in North Korea as a military genius who had humbled a superpower.

He also claimed a famous victory during another major confrontation with the US in 2002.

President George W Bush accused him publicly of cheating on the nuclear freeze - by developing a separate uranium enrichment programme - and spoke of North Korea as part of an "axis of Evil" at a time when talk of regime change was much in the air in Washington.

North Korea scrapped the nuclear deal and threatened retribution and war.

But once again, the crisis ended in talks - this time with North Korea's neighbours at the table as well - including Russia and its principal backer, China.

While the talks dragged on inconclusively, North Korea built up its nuclear arsenal and missile technology.

The North Korean leadership appears to have drawn an important lesson from these experiences.

It concluded that threats of chaos and war - in the midst of one of the world's must dynamic industrial regions - would always force adversaries to back down and grant concessions.

The bluff requires two ingredients: North Korea's threats must be credible. The leadership in Pyongyang must appear wild and irrational enough to risk a suicidal war.

And, North Korea's adversaries - in effect the United States - must have ruled out the threat of war as an ingredient in coercive diplomacy.

That effectively happened in 1994, when the Pentagon looked at a potential war on the Korean peninsula and concluded that it would lead to hundreds of thousands of casualties in a few days, and the destruction of one of the world's largest cities.

The new leadership
Kim Jong-un appears in a hurry to establish his credentials as a military leader - and poker player - in the mould of his father and grandfather.


Unlike his father, Kim Jong-un has been keen to appear in public
He was unknown to the North Korean public just two years before he was appointed supreme ruler of the country and its million man army.

He now styles himself a great general, appearing in the front line and making very specific military threats - a dramatic contrast with his enigmatic father, who never made a public speech during his 17 years in power.

In the past, North Korea has relied on other regional players to lose their nerve and intervene with the United States, persuading it that war is too big a risk to take and that North Korea will respond well to incentives.

That may yet happen again. South Korea stands to lose the most from a conflict, Japan is within range of North Korean missiles and China wants to avoid chaos and the possible destruction of a buffer state on a key frontier.

But Kim Jong-un will first have to convince them that there is some substance to his threats.

His bellicose style and almost daily threats of war have gone well beyond the rhetoric employed by Kim Jong-il and Kim Il-sung.

Any military action would be sure to meet a determined response from South Korea and the United States.

China could yet intervene by cutting a crucial oil pipeline and other economic aid and trade if it concluded the new leader was out of control and bent on self destruction.

Kim Jong-un and his advisers are relying on an old script to bolster their position at home and abroad. It is far from clear that this time they will succeed.

Orikinla: [size=15pt]ILLITERACY IS ACTUALLY THE CAUSE OF MOST ROAD ACCIDENTS IN NIGERIA.
MAJORITY OF THE DRIVERS ON NIGERIAN ROADS ARE LARGELY UNEDUCATED.[/size]

Education does not stop accidents from happening. Good roads and enforced laws do.

I've said it time without number; they need to do something about:

1) the high number of useless tokunmbo trucks/buses on our roads; reached the end of their lives and written off in saner climes, and then bought by some greedy Nigerian importers to sell back home. Most times it's break failure that causes this carnage.

Spot on!

What i actually find difficulty in understanding is the fact that the federal government levies higher charges on importation and clearing of new cars/buses at the ports compared to old cars/buses. So in effect, it is cheaper to import old written off cars into the country than it is to bring in new ones. You have to wonder at the logic of policy makers in this country.

In other countries, policy makers keep out the trash and make it easier for citizens to bring in new stuffs, in Nigeria, it is the other way round. Little wonder the streets of England are flush with the most recent vehicles by year of manufacture. The benefits are immense - safer road, cleaner air and better quality of life.

North Korea has nothing to lose by acting as a regional spoiler. Pyongyang's first assessment is that the larger neighborhood prefers that there be no disruption to the flow of commerce -- and this is a club that can be wielded not only against South Korea and Japan but against China and Russia as well. A North Korea that plunges the region into war would release flows of refugees crossing into China and Russia for sanctuary; it would jeopardize China's own economy, starting with the massive disruptions that any conflict would create; it would imperil Russian President Vladimir Putin's announced plans for a new "eastern vector" for the Russian economy, including the development of new pipelines and energy assets in the Far East.
The DPRK's assessment is that it has consistently been cheaper for the surrounding countries to pay Pyongyang off -- and to restrain the United States from trying to take action -- than to risk the damage that a more sustained military conflict would bring.

In the end, i suspect North Korea will eventually get what it wants from everyone.

shymexx: Lmao... Everyone is just sabre-rattling and blowing everything out of proportion...

Just shut up already - this is getting boring now...

I know right!

Now when you have two big boys telling you to stop acting like a spoilt child, what the hell are you gonna do huh?

Russia has condemned North Korea's actions in the intensifying standoff with South Korea and the United States.

Moscow has declared that North Korea is showing a "categorically unacceptable" contempt of UN resolutions.

"For Russia, Pyongyang's neglect of UN resolutions (on nuclear non-proliferation) is categorically unacceptable," Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich told reporters, as cited by The Voice of Russia.

He added that North Korea’s actions "complicate, if not practically rule out the chances of resuming" six party talks to ease tensions on the Korean peninsula.

It emerged on Thursday that North Korea has deployed a missile to its east coast. Even though the missile has a “considerable” range, it would not capable of reaching the United States, according to South Korean defense officials.

Pyongyang's latest missile deployment has prompted the US to move its THAAD advanced missile defense system along with radar systems to a base on the Pacific Ocean island of Guam.

On Wednesday, the North Korean army said it had received approval to launch a “merciless” attack on the United States, including possible nuclear strikes

[size=15pt]Pyongyang aggravating situation is unacceptable – Moscow [/size]

North Korea’s intention to legally claim its nuclear status aggravates the situation, and blocks the prospects for the six-party talks, says the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“We have to state the escalation of tension on the Korean peninsula continues. The situation is extremely difficult,” the Ministry’s spokesperson Aleksandr Lukashevich said on Thursday.

Pyongyang’s announcement to legally secure a status of a state “that possesses nuclear weapons for defensive purposes,” may significantly aggravate or even “block the prospects for the resumption of the six-party talks,” the diplomat pointed out.

“For Russia – which is a member of United Nation’s Security Council – this is completely unacceptable ,” Lukashevich underlined.

“The situation cannot be resolved through escalation, ” he added.

Moscow has been “in a broad and intensive dialogue” with all its partners in the six-party talks: North Korea, South Korea, Japan, the US, and China. The forum is aimed at finding a diplomatic solution with Pyongyang to halt its nuclear weapons program.

“Dangerous manoeuvres and rhetoric” should be stopped as soon as possible, and conditions to resolve the six-party talks should be created, the Russian Foreign Ministry said. That is the only venue where problems regarding “the de-nuclearization of the Korean Peninsula can be addressed,” Moscow insists.

Pyongyang quit the talks in 2009, shortly before it carried out a second nuclear weapon test.

Relations between North and South Korea have been tense for over 60 years, since the end of World War II, which was followed by the division of the country.

The latest stand-off began after the North Korea launched a long-range rocket in December and carried out its third (since 2006) nuclear test on February 12. This was followed by a new set of UN sanctions against the republic approved on March 7.

Pyongyang, in response, stated it had the right to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on the US. Several days later - as the US began annual joint military drills with the South Korea – the North announced its withdrawal from the armistice ending the Korean War in 1953. The UN, however, said the document is still valid since it cannot be ended unilaterally. Shortly after that, the US deployed F-22 Raptor stealth fighters to the region.

You are the First so What?

What if your dad had passed away when you were kid, won't you have your own life to live?

He likes your younger brother more, so what? how does that add or subtract anything from you? are you by any chance attached to your father by the rectum?

You need to grow some pair and start acting like a man. If someone comes to your home and disrespects you, tell them they would no longer be welcomed there.

If all of these weeping and whinning is because of the fear that you may lose out of inheritance to your brother in case popsy passes on then you should sit down and consider how much of your life you've thrown down the bin.

The USS McCain, named after the father and grandfather of Senator John McCain, was dispatched Monday from its port in Japan and ordered to sail for Korea.

The 505-foot guided-missile destroyer carries the U.S. Navy's advanced Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System, a sophisticated radar system designed to target enemy missiles and launch precision rockets to intercept and destroy them.

The Navy also shifted the SBX-1, a $900million floating radar platform that has even more powerful equipment for tracking missiles.





Eye on the skies: The $900million SBX-1 radar, which specializes in tracking enemy missiles, was also dispatched to Korea




The two pieces of Navy hardware join an unknown number of F-22 stealth fighter jets that the US Air Force sent to South Korea as both a show of force against the North and a pledge of support for its allies in Seoul.
The Air Force has previously flown B-2 Spirit and B-52 Stratofortress bombers over the Korean peninsula with the same aim.

South Korean officials, meanwhile, responded to threats from the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un by saying that any attack would receive a 'strong response.'

North Korea will rebuild and restart nuclear facilities including a mothballed uranium enrichment facility and a 5 MW reactor, both in Yongbyon, KCNA quoted a spokesman at its atomic energy agency as saying.
Pyongyang is estimated to have enough fissile material to build up to eight nuclear bombs, although estimates vary.
According to estimates from the Institute for Science and International Security from late 2012, North could have enough weapons grade uranium for 21-32 nuclear weapons by 2016 if it used one centrifuge at its Yongbyon nuclear plant to enrich uranium to weapons-grade.
'The General Department of Atomic Energy...decided to adjust and alter the uses of the existing nuclear facilities, to begin with,' KCNA reported.
It said the nuclear facilities would be used for both electricity and military uses.
It was not clear how long it would take to restart the reactor, whose cooling tower was blown up in a made-for-TV event in 2008 under an agreement to suspend the atomic complex.




There have been reports of construction work near where the tower once stood but it was not clear whether the North was rebuilding it.
On Saturday, North Korea said it was entering a 'state of war' with South Korea but the statement was played down by Seoul and the US as the latest piece of 'tough talk' from Pyongyang.
Today the U.N. chief says he fears North Korea is on a collision course with other nations that could lead to war.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says the isolated Asian nation appears to be 'on a collision course with the international community' amid rising tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Ban, a former South Korean foreign minister, said Tuesday in Andorra 'the current crisis has already gone too far' because of escalating tensions raised by North Korea's threats of war almost daily against the United States and South Korea.
He said international negotiations are urgently needed but he is 'convinced that no one intends to attack' North Korea.
Pyongyang has sought disarmament-for-aid talks with Washington and more domestic loyalty by portraying North Korean leader Kim Jong Un as a powerful commander.

The United States has responded to the threats by sending F-22 Raptors to join South Korean military exercises (file photo)

Always use your credit card chaps! It's the best way to stay safe

Go look through the autos forum, and see if you may be able to get across to major dealers like Inspired, Fhemmmmy & Co. They themselves may not be able to help you directly, but since importing cars is all they do, they might be able to link you up with some of their buddies.

chaircover: if everyone were to be like me, UK ticket agents will pack up. All the airlines that I use allow you to book online on their websites but you have to pay in one go, rather than the dribs and drabs that agents allow but at least you are 100% secure that you are making a valid booking.

I know of at least 4 people who lost their money when agents disappeared into thin air before the travel date and i forsee this happening a lot more now that all the airlines have drastically increased their ticket prices and people will be falling for cheaper but at a risk of being scammed offers.

Read the Post again. OP wasn't trying to buy tickets via agents, OP intended to buy his tickets via what he thought was Arik Air's original website which turned out to be scam!

niggaman: I bet Bunky W is smashing her

Adults have intimacy, deal with it.

No answer to my question?

chiover: Nice move, it is called "catch them young" I hope they charge the baby according to the laws of our sweet country.

LOL!

A huge reform is necessary in the Police. I seriously don't understand the sense in arresting someone in lieu of another.

This is bizarre but true. A two-month -old girl was arrested and paraded in lieu of her father who was suspected to be a dare-devil robber. The mother was taken into custody along the toddler identified as Oyinkansola. It happened in Ogun State.

Policemen stormed the residence of the alleged armed robber, Ismail Adeosun, at Ago-Ika in Abeokuta North local government area and, because they could not find the suspect, they arrested every Adeosun available.

Oyinkansola was celebrated with wide media coverage, but in a grotesque manner.

Tongues are wagging over the propriety of the action of the police. Many are asking what offence the baby committed to warrant the treatment. .

Little Oyinkansola was among six suspects paraded by the Ogun State Police Command at its headquarters in Eleweran, Abeokuta, the state capital, in connection with alleged armed robbery and murder cases which have claimed the lives of no fewer than six people.


Justifying the action, the police said Oyinkansola’s father, Ismail, 26, who was at large, was identified as the ring leader of an armed robbery team.

The mother,Fausat, 19 , was said to be the armourer of the team, Oyinkasola’s uncle and aunt, Tobi Adeosun, 15, and Iyabode Adeosun respectively, were also not spared as the whole family were cooling their feet in police custody. When challenged on the allegation leveled against her by the police, Oyinkansola’s mother denied the knowledge of her husband’s robbery business but said that he (Ismail) operated a film house in Igbo-Ora area of Oyo State.

She told Sunday Vanguard that when she noticed that a gun was brought to the house, her husband threatened to kill her if she informed anybody about it. “On Sunday, he came to me and I asked him whether he had removed his gun from my house because we don’t live together but he said he and his friend, Danladi, were around to pick the gun, I never knew he was a thief until he brought the gun to my house”,she said.

“He asked me whether I had told anybody and even threatened to kill me if I had informed anybody and that he will run away and leave me to suffer on his behalf, but I told him I never informed anyone.

“Unfortunately, the police came on Monday and asked me about the gun but I told them his brother had taken the gun away. That was how I was arrested,” she said.

Sunday Vanguard gathered that two other members of the gang, Danladi Musa and Taiwo Muse, were arrested by the police when, according to the state police commissioner, Ikemefuna Okoye, the police stormed the residence of the suspects where locally made guns and other ammunition were recovered.

Okoye explained that his men acted on information provided by a member of the
gang who had earlier been arrested and stormed the residence of the suspects where Oyinkansola and others were arrested.

The commissioner said investigation was on and that the suspects would be charged to court upon completion of the investigation. “This woman has been keeping gun for her husband and his 15- year- old brother is also the armourer of the gang,” he said.

Speaking with Sunday Vanguard, Ismail’s younger brother, Tobi, narrated that it was his brother who the police were looking for before they arrested all the family members including the two months old baby. But the police commissioner insisted that Tobi is the armourer of the gang while Ismail’s wife has also been keeping her husband’s arms and ammunition before luck ran out on them.

Tobi, who was allegedly arrested with some ammunition in his possession,wassaid tohave confessed to the police that it was Ismail’s wife that had been keeping the gun for her husband, adding that he was only brought to the scene to relocate the arms when the police invaded the house. “It was his wife who has been helping him to watch over his guns. That day when the police came, his wife, Fausat,called me to hide the gun behind a block beside the house, it was wrapped inside a cloth and, when the police came, I told them everything and even took them to where the gun was hidden,”he said.

“At first, I lied to the police because I was scared and I had never experienced such, I never knew my brother was a thief until that day.”

One of the two suspected members of the gang in police net, Danladi, confessed his involvement in some robbery cases, while he further narrated that no fewer than five people lost their lives during the operations.

When asked how he was caught by the police, the suspect said it was in the process of stealing a car in Sango area of Ogun State. He said he was introduced into the business about a year ago.

“I am here because I stole a Golf car at Sango area of the state, I am an armed robber, a friend introduced me to the work in January last year”,he said “I have mistakenly killed someone in the process of my work, it wasn’t my intention to kill the person but he was dragging ammunition with me and i mistakenly fired the shot. It was the same person who introduced me to the work that gave me the ammunition. His name is Ismail but he is at large.

“I didn’t know the person I killed but he was dragging the ammunition with me, probably he thought the gun was empty. We were in the same car in November last year when the incident happened. I have stolen about five cars and the driver of our gang by name Abati was the one in charge of the cars. I don’t know where the cars are now but Abati has also escaped.”

The other member of the gang who was also nabbed by the police, Taiwo, confessed that no fewer than five people had been killed during the operations in which he participated. He said that all his effort was because of N30, 000 promised by the alleged gang leader, Ismail, that made him to join the group

slimyem: I for one hate bodies touching me in public places.
What's wrong if i choose to tell a friend on chat that I feel uncomfortable with the person sitting next to me?
That dude just making it sound like the girl did more than chat with her friend on phone or like she spat on the old man's face.

It's about the most bizarre scenes of amebo I have seen in my life. You pried into a strangers phone conversation and you think you have a right to be angry at the subject of discussion? What the hell! What an unpleasant human being!

I for one would have made sure the dude had the most unpleasant flight experience of his life i had caught him sneeking through my phone.

He somehow made it sound like being an old man is enough excuse being untidy and also as if being young somehow meant you must endure long haul flights with an unpleasant smell as long as the person sitting next to you is old.

shior.

cupid4ig: smh its people like u that he is talking about .

What sort of rubbish is he talking about?

You don't go about reading people's private messages regardless of what stupid excuses you might have for displaying such unruly and unsocial trait.

NessaFresh:

I hate long posts but because of ur comment I decided to read his post and I must AGREE with him. That Girl IS A MOTHERFU!CKIN Disgrace to womanhood and a BIG FO!OL!! His anger in his post is justified thoroughly!

His anger is justified? How?

He read the girl's private messages, that is RUDE!

We all have different smell receptors, and if the girl thought the old man sitting next to her had some body odours, then there's nothing she could have done to stop herself smelling what she smelt. She even had the courtesy of asking for another sit. If you wet your pants and you ooze, I shouldn't have to feel guilty for perceiving odours! But the dude reading her private messages and thinking he somehow earned the right to become angry is obnoxious and rude!

lafflaff123: No habits by anybody annoys me in the plane and as my friend told me BUY FIRST CLASS if you can't stand the things you see in the economy class and until then,i will continue taking in the good,the bad and the ugly of the economy class.

And at POSTER i don't know how often you travel,but if you travel a lot like me then you should have out grown looking out for faults or habits in other's as people can not be like you,act like you or be like you want them to be.

Just want to add an experience i had sometime last year and it was sad.

As a veteran of ECONOMY CLASS i was coming from Nigeria via Delta to the US and on getting to my sit there was a young girl(later discovered she is yoruba)on my space,looked at the boarding pass and number to be sure and told her excuse me please that's my sit.

I always take a sit by the aisle because i am tall and so can stretch my legs,she had the middle sit and on the third sit there was a very old man and i said hi to him then sat down.

Just siiting down and noticed this girl was restless and kept closing her nose with her hands and chatting fervently on her blackberry,raised her head up and asked me if we can change sits and i told her no. She started looking around urgently for an air hostess,spotted one and asked her if they can move her and they told her the plane was full and all this happening while the plane had not even taxied yet.

So i am wondering what's up with this girl as her restlessness was starting to bother me,especially as she had that first timer traveller look(over dressed to impress or give the impression they are well to do to the immigration at the port of entry)and after a few minutes she stood up to use the rest room and left her BB by my arm rest but i did not notice it.

Later looked at what was poking me and it was her phone glowing with her BB Chat open. Did not mean to read but the first message there caught my attention and this girl had been busy bashing the old man and texting,chatting and telling everybody via her phone that they put a smelly old man close to her.

I did not smell anything so wondering what the girl was smelling. But above all as an African i have respect for old people and even in my private thoughts i dont disrespect them let alone what the girl was doing by holding up her nose and blatantly insulting the old man by letting the old man know she does not want to be close to him.

We all eventually become old and i hope when she gets old people will run away from her.

She tried to make small banters with me but i ignored her and later when we were filling up our landing card,this stupid girl brought out her passport to fill and it was a fresh Nigerian passport and her first Visa was the US one and the old man she was calling a smelly old man brought out his US Passport.

So i am thinking this stupid girl has this attitude and have never even left Nigeria before and how will she behave when she starts living outside Nigeria.

This might sound mean but i prayed she ran into problems at the port of entry with the immigration people,but since she followed the line at the immigration point for visa holders i did not know how it ended.

Why did i get angry and still angry?my parents are very old and travel at least once a year to visit me for medicals and stuff and just the thought that one supid girl will call my parents SMELLY OLD PEOPLE just because they are OLD makes me get mad. That man did not stink and his only offence was being OLD.

What's the point to this stupid rant?


Are you trying to draw attention to yourself as a frequent flyer or you simply want us to know you are that dude who was fortunate enough not to fill landing cards?

So the girl was rude for calling the old man smelly, but din' yo mama teach you it is considered rude and obnoxious to read people's private messages? Notwithstanding how tempted you are to do so? Geez! right to some privacy, din' someone teach you that?

You lost the right to tag the girl as rude, and i can only imagine how extremely unpleasant you must be, probably with radical racist tendencies, since you believe including the girl's ethnic group is somehow relevant to your stupid rant

Different hiring managers look for different things on CVs. Some may like an objective, others don't. Some hiring managers may think a CV without elements of vague claims appear boring, others don't. CVs are reviewed by humans not robots! I want to see ALL of candidates experience on their CV. I can then easily match their strengths from ALL of their experience.

If someone wrote on their CV that they sold biscuits in a traffic at 5 years old to raise money for their education, then that immediately highlights to me a candidate who has enough determination to push through barriers to see an objective met. It also highlights to me that the person may have developed an ability to convince and win people, all of which are great strengths that can be highlighted from an event that took place several years earlier.


The most important thing when writing your CV is to make sure that your CV highlights your strengths in the best way possible for the job you are applying for. Don't fall for strict do's and don'ts, there can be a thousand and one conflicting views about the best way to write a CV.

Chei! No be this girl we do "Igba nla do gi e" bi this?

choi!

Second, I will admit that large numbers count in conflict or else why do nations carry out diplomatic relations to gain more friends? But I don't believe that in all situations sheer numbers are the magic. One million soldiers next door to SK should worry her but if one SK soldier can match five NK soldiers because of better training and better weaponry, can the SK not relax if she can field 250 000 troops?

This is NOT SPARTA! This is SOUTH KOREA!

shymexx:



Even the Nazis with all their ahead-of-time technology had to succumb to share numbers and determination of the Russians in Stalingrad... Every Field Marshal will tell you that technology and air-power will never win a war - infantry forces and determination will...

Gulf war was a war between a 3rd rate country and allied forces, what did you expect The Iraqis imported everything they used during that war from the soviet and no sane person expected them win that war... The war ended in a stalemate, anyway - and Saddam still ruled Iraq for a long time after that....

I just hope you're not a war strategist for Nigeria because the country will be captured before the war starts...

This is what i thought most people don't understand.

There's a reason why Israel conscripts. Everyone must serve in the military, which means at any point in time or the order, the numbers must be above a certain level. If Technology and Air superiority was all that was needed, it wouldn't bother sending in foot soldiers into Lebanon.

samkoro:

The British Empire was manned by relatively few soldiers.They could do it because they were ahead in technology and strategy.Modern warfare is not so much about numbers as is about sophistication.It takes only some stealth fighters to hit the north koreans blind by taking out their millitary communication network and sweep out their AK armed soldiers.The U.S has enough inteligence on north Korea but it will be difficult for them to have that on U.S.

It is very important to know that the U.S comes out with new technologies in every war.That has been the reason they were underated in WW1,WW2 ,cold war,gulf war;they were always rated on the past weapon as a result of which although they a superpower,there is always a little element of doubt.That was why Japan,Russia,Iraq,Afghanistan bit more than they could chew.North Korea will certainly experience the same.It will be a testing ground. What U.S did in Gulf war was a surprise to Europe.

Durring WW2 a Japanese colonel that schooled in Harvard warned the Japanese general abt their plan to attach U.S first.He told them that the U.S had a kind of strenght unkown to the world yet,a sleeping gaint.They refused to listen and the rest was history.

It is also worthy to note that U.S has something more than the stealth,that's why u can see stealth on film;because it has been declassified and considered out dated.

One of their latest laser weapons usualy make soldiers go temporarily blind in war front.If they insist on fighting,they are given permanent blindness. U.S is also comming with all that nano tech has to offer and not Imillion soldiers with Ak. 47

Let's assume China is only next doors to the United States of America, and the Chinese pemier orders it's 1.3billion citizen to match into USA and strangle every single person they see, what's your stealth gonna do huh?

The US already had a huge amount of technological superiority before striking Iraq, why do you suppose they needed to put boots on ground? It's simple, You can't fight forever in the air, you've got to come down at some point. The stealth fighters were not built to take out hostiles that are going to attack you on the streets with kitchen knife. 66 US troops were killed in a single month in Afganistan, what do you suppose the talibans were fighting with? Russian Jets?

In the Korean war, when the Chinese placed 500,000 soldiers in North Korea, they were able to push back the UN forces led by the United States. why do you suppose they were able to do this?

Bro Paul, it's almost one hour past your meds time. This is why you need to set the alarm.

shymexx:

Just like the Americans will continue to fly their B-2 bombers without biting...

Anyway, they're both sabre rattling for no reason, bunch of time wasters...

True this!

But bruv, those B2s is having a crazy psychological effect. The fact that the only way you can learn, that the US had just violated your airspace at will, is when you bothered to check your news station, has a tremendous psychological effect.

Leaving all the way from Missouri airbase, flying continuously for hours non stop, dropping a piece of dummy object and flying all the way back home, without anyone, save a couple of guys in Washington knowing of this, meant bro Kim would constantly have to worry about what's flying over his head.

Imagine, just not knowing that your enemy is up there, like an angry deity, ready to unleash a terrible anger on you! not a good thing for morale!
