North Korean sinking of a South Korean warship

[MrMalachiCrunch]

Google using these 4 words: british persian oil company

You should get about 932,000 results

If you go to advance search and use the exact phrase

“british-persian oil company”

You do get less results but over a 4000, albietly, many seem to be repeats.  Hmmm, I did a repeat of the search and now its only a few 100, strange.  It seems it was Anglo-Persian and some have changed it to British-Persian and its been repeated often enough to be almost right.  In any event, it was British and Iranian, then the brits got the CIA to overthrow a democratically elected government and replace it with the much hated shaw……  And now there ain’t much Perisan in BP anymore.  I don’t think this version of ‘America’ is much like that one, still, there are some echos from the past we must all be watchful for.

So I am not sure what version of Google we are using, must be the dot uh oh version, I hear its really buggy.  Never get version dot uh oh, wait until at least dot oh one…

Now as far as smaller nations wanting to sort it out.  What about treaties?  In any event, its probably not cheaper to have a nuclear arms race between 20 asian pacific countries if North Korea where given the green light to invade the south.  The only reason Japan has not gone nuclear (which they could in about 2 weeks or less) is the protection of the US.  The only reason China has only about 100 nukes that can hit the US is because nobody else is an existential threat to them.  Now if Japan and other nearby nations went nuclear how many nukes would China feel it would require for proper deterence?  I don’t see how allowing war to occur which would result in a nuclear arms race is cheaper in the long run.

@Funcioneta:

North Korea has a really bad ruler, true, but you have to apply the same rules for all bullies

I dont think the question should be who attacked who or who is a bully and who isnt. The question should  be which bully has the better system? which bully would you like to live under?

Once you know the nations worth living in, you also know the nations worth fighting for.

Blood and money makes the world go round, being morally outraged that nations would use force to resolve a dispute dosnt get around that.

It’s all relational.  Just think of yourself as the extreme, so-south-I’m-north southerner.

It appears that some Chinese were killed at the frontiers, which could isolate North Korea even more

The silly’s keep getting rid of my anti-south posts, so let me rephrase this, I’m not south!!!

One more thing Florida is nice, but the fact is it’s still south

I have seen anonymous on old, old, old posts like when I read Imperious Leader’s first few posts.

No Im just sick of all the smiley’s and terrible spelling. And getting people who don’t know that trolling is out of style.

It will always be a fad, but I don’t think there is much trolling going on around here…

Well, it depends what you can handle, like heres some examples and the rates of it

“what’s this game, can you fly in it?” Thats full trolling
“Is it Russia or USSR in the game?” That’s about 75 percent trolling
“Will Spain be playable, in Europe 40?” Thats about half trolling (maybe more.)

[MrMalachiCrunch]

What about asking the attack/defense values of units, is that trolling?

[calvinhobbesliker]

@MrMalachiCrunch:

If it’s infantry, yes. if it’s a tac bomber, it’s less trolling.

What is trolling is asking if there are any territories that border the UK, how many BB’s Russia has, or, in the case of someone(Any regular person on harris game design forums knows who) on HGD, asking for Poland to be a playable power, for ftrs to be able to target planes since he doesn’t want planes to be killed by inf, asking for south africa to be a separate player, to have the Caribbean have 8 spaces, Central America 9, South America 12, Russia 100, have a territory for each American state, having 5-7 different types of planes, and then calling everyone who says that these are not plausible in A&A arrogant people who think they know everything.

I’m not totally against Poland as a playable power in a '39 game. Does this make me a troll?

No, but if you wanted Polish pieces in a 1940 edition, or you wanted a Polish Air unit in the UK to represent Polish fighting in the RAF, then you’d be one.

What does this have to do with North Korea sinking a South Korea battleship?

I don’t think you know what trolling is.

Here, let me help you:

Risk is 10X better than A&A because it is too complicated.
North Korea should torpedo more ships because South Korea started it all back in the 50s.
