It doesn't really matter.
Not much oil + nukes = we're not going to war with them anyway.

I think we should arm both of them.
Oh wait, we did.

Cricket is the subcontinent's equivalent of war since nukes got involved

Is that why we're not at war with France at the minute?
Or is that just not a challenge any more?

The Daily Mail had an article about merging Southern England and France.
I don't buy the Mail, just glanced at it in the shop, honest.

Mont St Michel.
I drank Watney's Red Barrel there, the only time I'd ever seen it.

When we did our hitchhike year before last
I was repeatedly struck by how much beautiful countryside there is in France. And the people were actually really nice (to be fair, they were the sort of people who were generous enough to pick up hitchhikers, so not necessarily an accurate microcosm of society)

We should nuke the fuck out of North Korea

We're not going to war with NK any more than we'll go to war with Zimbabwe
Nothing of any worth there. Plus NK have nukes and the West isn't willing to fight anybody who's actually got the capacity to punch back with any weight.

Their nuclear capacity is basically air dropped.
They don't have any missiles capable so they're not actually a nuclear threat as the planes that carry them will be shot down.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 4 May 2011, 10:51, Reply)

Stupid question
and I apologise in advance for asking it. Surely if we shoot down a plane carrying a nuclear missile and it crashes, the explosion will be a bit... nuclear?
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 4 May 2011, 10:53, Reply)

Unlikely
unless the bomb was armed before the plane went down, which is possible. Nuclear bombs are quite stable unless deliberately set off.
(Bazongaloid, Wed 4 May 2011, 10:55, Reply)

There was a really interesting programme on the radio a while back
where a guy was talking about how if you let off a nuclear bomb in Central Park what sort of mega tonnes would reach what distance.

Nerp
there's a risk of the nuclear material escaping, but not a risk of the explosion being nuclear.
It's actually very difficult to make a bunch of plutonium/uranium blow up and requires a controlled implosion to make it all come together.

They do have an enormous and properly organised army, though.

Got to get it here though haven't they
We can basically engage in little brother tactics - standing making faces at them as all the American air bases between us and them blow them out of the sky

Or they could just invade SK and force us into a ground war.

Only if we decide we actually give a fuck about South Korea
and I don't see they have anything to offer us, other than counterfeit DVDs down at the Leyton branch of ASDA.

South Korea is an amazing country, from what little I saw of it last year
We wouldn't have to bother, if NK did invade the Yanks would be there in a shot. They're closer and fucking raring to go.
