North Korea Launches Missile and Tries To Jam GPS Signals (go.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Hours after North Korea fired a short-range missile into the sea in retaliation for ongoing U.S. join military drills with South Korea, they started jamming GPS navigation systems near its border with South Korea, affecting hundreds of fishing boats but not causing any immediate danger. There were no disruptions to drivers' satellite navigation system or air traffic, but warning messages were broadcast in affected areas warning ships not to rely on their GPS navigation. In a statement, the South Korean Ministry of National Defense said: "North Korea has been continuously disrupting GPS system since 7:30 pm [Thursday] and thereby interfering and hampering our military movements, which is threatening the safety of our people."
I wonder what is there to be gained by provoking them with militarily exercises?
People need to clean up their own shit. Who will save us if/when we will have a global dictatorship?
The little dog's owner is China, and even if the owner admits their dog is out of control, it is still their dog. No-one wants to kill China's dog.
I do like metaphors. They can stretch so many ways.
but who will "euthenize" nuclear armed "the little dog" ?
same pussy cats who got bent over and spanked by even the ak47 armed afgans and iraqis? lol
Part of the problem the US faces is that whenever it is talked about how such a bad idea the recent wars it undertook over in the Middle East all that is mentioned is the few thousand American troops lost and the money it cost the US to wage the wars. One almost never hears about the costs inflected on Afghanistan and Iraq.
Hundreds of thousands have died and many times that number have been maimed because of those actions. Millions upon millions of lives have been ruined. And yet all we hear from the US is the problems that the wars caused for them. Maybe the country would have more good will if it showed more sympathy towards the victims of its actions instead of showing support to politicians who propose carpet bombing areas of the Middle East.
When you maliciously poke someone in the eye with a sharp stick, you have no valid complaint if he pulls out a .44 magnum and blows your arm off.

Which is why you have nothing to complain about with regards to what happened on 9/11.
Your analogy only works if there was someone who poked you in the eye with a sharp stick. Or at least if you shot the person who poked you. In this case someone pokes you with a stick, you pull out a gun, shoot randomly into a crowd of people in the opposite direction, and then complain loudly about the ringing in your ears.
I believe both the original post and the first reply used the term "dog" (note: signular) to refer to the nation, not the term "dogs" to refer to the people. That would make them nationalist pieces of shit, not racist pieces of shit, you ignorant, race-baiting piece of shit.
