I'm also surprised no one brought this up (At least I don't think anyone did, I really didn't read the whole thread):

Yeah NK is part of the UN. So are we but we still develop bio weapons. UN doesn't mean as much as it did in the past.

Yeah but I don't think the UN will be really thrilled if NK nukes the US.

True.

What economic damage must be repaired?

America fights its wars overseas. We don't have to rebuild buildings, we rebuild the other nations using our methodology and with our infrastructure. We create new jobs and infrastructure... Repair what damage? The economy is not a car. We create jobs and GDP, we improve our economy during WW2.

I'm no saying war in general, but obviously America's wars helped it immensely. How do you think we came by Texas and Eastern regions? We took them... We only bought Alaska and Louisiana Purchase.

The world was different back then.

So I suppose we just beam them over there like it's star trek. Sending supplies, troops and munitions overseas is not free. We also need materials to produce the supplies and weapons. Then building airplanes and ships to transport the troops and supplies. It is not nearly as cheap as it sounds.

The natural resources found in those lands we took are was repaired the damages from the costs of war. Just like with new technologies developed for the purpose of war. It's the technologies that repaired damages from the costs of war.

The middle east, we are losing a lot of money and gaining nothing. No new land, no new technologies, and no end in sight. It isn't going to end well for our economy.

If NK nukes us and we retaliate, we will then be spending money on 2 wars.

netherlands too helping poor countries not only uk and germany. lol i go sleep then wake up 10 pages with text. aniway u ppl really heartless why would u want damn war for economic? killing ppl for money.

@ jocer atm america is the only one that really want to attack other countries.they also enjoys it and this not first time they attacking asian countries they attacked too afghanistan and irak (too asian countries)

I know english isn't your first language but do try read those posts about the economic side of war before opening your trap, because you completely missed the point.

And really, I'm sick of your stereotypical anti-american comments. Please for the love of god, science or whatever the hell it is you believe in, either take it somewhere else or keep it to your damn self.

There facts also writing text with and old alcatel is horrible lol. Economy might be good cus sellin weapons but it kills is what is bad..i just tell from what i see on the news the last 10 years and it was all time america that started the war instead of trying to talk . This time they should try to keep the peace on earth instead of the suprise attack their planning on north korea

Again pointing fingers at America. Do you simply have no self control?

Seriously, just don't come back to this thread. If you can't stop yourself, then avoiding threads discussing America is the next best thing.
