Yours Sincerely, Tony Blair

You may agree that that is quite a misleading title, but I laughed when I typed it. I don't know why I found the ending to a letter funny, but I did. Maybe it was because it had Tony Blair in it - two words that I frequently laugh at when placed together.

Either way, I am not here to mock Tony Blair, although  I would very much enjoy doing so. I am here to discuss the current situation in North Korea.

You should now agree that my title was misleading.

Those of you who own a brain and have used it within the week will have noticed on a number of news websites (for example, BBC News) a headline to do with satellites and ahem, North Korea. Yep, it's them again. Say hello once more to Kim Jong-Il! "Oh...Hewwo!"

To cut a rather large news story short, the US and South Korea are performing a military exercise which is designed to strengthen the co-operative skills of both nations' armed forces. Without these exercises, when the time comes for the nations to fight together, a lot could go wrong.

Interesting is an understatement but it turns out North Korea plan to launch a satellite some time in the very close future but the US and South Korea are certain that they plan to test a long-range missile under the disguise of a satellite.

North Korea, as per usual, feel threatened by this military exercise in which 50,000 US and S Korean troops are involved and have released an official warning stating that they have placed their military (which is one of the largest in the world) on full combat alert, which means that if at any one moment they feel threatened or pressured, war will ensue.

Yes, North Korea don't have quality...but they do have numbers and are a Communist country. I honestly think that if the population of the country ran by a 21st Century Hitler are needed in a war, they will be thrown into the armed forces without question. If they refused, they die.

But what else could come from this recent news?

The risk of World War 3 is now huge. Everyone is walking on thin ice and wondering who they can trust. We, the UK, have our strong allies, but also our weaker allies. We are also in NATO which is both a good thing, and a bad thing.

If N Korea does begin war, they have stated they will attack Japan, the US and S Korea with full force in retaliation. Now, because of our position in the world, having the Royal Air Force known to the population of the Earth as the best, (even if they don't admit it) aswell as a great Army and Navy, we will be roped into the battle and we would respond positively as we are a member of NATO.

It would also bring on a new Cold War. Russia, being another fucked-up Communist country, would publicise their allegience to the N Koreans in the fight against every other country. In addition to this, Ross @ The Confounder and I believe China will also get involved. Communism vs The Rest of the World. Bring it on!

I do not see war as a bad thing though, I welcome a war. Keeps the adrenaline pumping through your body. It would also mean that there will be a greater need for recruits in the UK Armed Forces - meaning it would be easier for me to get in.

To conclude however, I only need three words in which to offer the complete solution to North Korea and Russia...

NUKE

        AND

              FORGET.

Obviously though, leave China alone, just suppress them and make them do as we wish, simply because, they make nearly all of our toys.

Turah.
