Well, that's obviously true. North Korea is pretty bold, but I doubt it's ever going to launch a full-scale attack on anyone. But the United States performs actual actions again others. I don't think the United States actually wants to start anything big though, so the risk ought to be negligible, but I think it's still bigger than in North Korea's case.

Well, they definitely don't want to start anything huge because their economy depends on international trade, but they have no qualms over attacking regimes that are unfavourable to them.

Hmmm, let's see... OP is quoting Russian gov't officials, and has "Hands Off North Korea" in the avatar...

Conclusion:  Obvious troll is obvious.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

What a load of horseshit.

I wouldn't mind putting my hands on that military woman in his avatar.

So, both of you sincerely believe that North Korea is more dangerous than the United States? Have you even compared the death toll of the two countries? They're not even close.

Drone strikes have also killed many more militants. Militants do not always wear military uniforms to distinguish themselves from civilian counterparts so, regrettably, it's inevitable civilians be caught in the crossfire.

And while Pakistan may not be a war zone, it's also no stranger to harboring combatants. Osama Bin Laden himself was staying in a compound in Pakistan when he was killed.

USA is certainly not perfect. It unintentionally kills civilians in civil war-torn Syria (they're not the only ones killing civilians in Syria by the way) for example but ISIS makes it a point to kill combatant and civilian alike. USA and ISIS are not comparable.

Oh my damn effing goodness. USA has killed far more innocents in drone strikes than militants. Drone strikes are some of the most inefficient ways to kill targets and anyone with a bear in their 20s to 30s and of a certain height are targets. I could be killed by a damn drone strike. There has been research conducted on how inefficient it is and what the criteria for a strike is.

How does one distinguish between militant and civilian? It's not like militants always wear an official uniform. If I were a militant, I'd make sure not to wear a uniform so that I could blend in with the general public and make the opposition's job harder.

And breaking international law is not excusable in any way. There are terrorists in India UK and France and Europe and USA as well do you want drones in Europe and USA as well. The reason there are terrorists in Pakistan is because its so damn close to Afghanistan just like cartels are in America because its so close to Mexico. That does not give the USA any right to fire unsanctioned stupid inefficient innocent murdering drone strikes. We have one of the worlds best armies we can take care of ourselves these stupid drones have killed more innocents anyway. And USA has burned villages in Adghansi knowing full well that innocents are in those villages. There is nothing unintentional about the innocents it kills. You will have an excuse ready for every situation won't you. Even if that excuse is stupid and weak you'll still say something wrong just to try to justify the murders the USA has commuted. The US technically is a war criminal as well as an international criminal but like I said technicalities don't matter when you have the world's greatest army

As powerful as your army is, someone as notorious as Bin Laden has been able to take refuge across international lines. Bin Laden, someone who has INTENTIONALLY targeted innocents. There's been plenty of innocent deaths from all sides but not all sides target them intentionally.

America is only fighting with ISIS for the most part and it's been ruffling some feathers. It's honestly not gonna start a war or anything like that. NK has been pushing the limits of it's neigbors' tolerance with testing weapons and making big threats about nuking something.  Do I think NK is more of a threat to world peace than america? Of course.

I only read the headline, didn't read past it because the headline was such bullshit. America promotes peace by toppling evil regimes and attempting to set up democratic governments in their place. They are far from being a bigger threat to world peace than North Korea. 

Bottom line: America uses it's military power and technology for good. If North Korea succeeds in creating long range missiles, they will become the biggest threat to peace so far this decade.

So, how much history have you read? Guatemala: democratic government overthrown by the United States and replaced with a dictatorship. Chile: democratic government overthrown by the United States and replaced by a dictatorship. Iran: democraitc government overthrown by the United States and replaced by a dictatorship. Saudi Arabia: highly repressive government supported by the United States. The lsit goes on and on.

Uhh, it is a war. The United States has been almost constantly at war since 1941. They have troops stationed in Afghanistan, they're bombing seven different countries (Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Yemen, Libya), they have killed thousands of innocent people (which I know you don't care about), they support authoritarian regimes around the world, including Islamist ones like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
