    I know its "hip and cool" to hate the US nowadays, but theres no comparison with the other 3.

    No country is, they are just masses of land with imaginary lines. But definitely Syria.

    Israel has the potential to stir so much ****. The fúckers could cause all hell to break loose someday. Not that they care too much.

    The question should be 'what', not 'who', and the answer disparity in wealth.

    I think they've managed to do that already, many times.

    N Korea.

    Team America told me this to be true.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,798 ✭✭✭sxt


    The other thread was meant to have a poll, so this is that threat with a poll!

    I don't think Iran would wage war on a superior army in Israel and America , two nations that also happen to have nuclear arms..The western media might portray "Iran" as "mad" but they probablly would not be that "mad"?

    This is a bit of a stupid topic to be honest. Threat to world peace? I didn't know we had world peace to begin with. The greatest instigators of war/threat to international security are the U.S., Britain, Russia, China, Israel, and the EU.

    How many foreign countries have North Korea, Iraq, or Iran invaded? North Korea invaded South Korea, but since they were both the same country before WW2 it doesn't really count. Iraq invaded Kuwait, but again since they were the same country before the British/Europeans partitioned the region it doesn't count.

    Now how many foreign countries have the others invaded? It's not that difficult to understand, now is it?

    Iran.

    Being the last post on the page sucks. Also, I'd like to ask people's reasoning behind choosing Iran. What have they done to deserve this honor? They allegedly threaten to wipe Israel off the map? Meanwhile Israel is actually wiping Gaza and the West Bank off the map, or at least doing their best, as I type this.

    The U.S. is currently dumping hundreds of tons of depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan, the equivalent of exploding several "dirty bombs" in civilian areas. The Russians..well, the Russians are murdering thousands of people in the border regions. China has an atrocious human rights record in their own country (and Tibet) and supports the regime in Burma. The EU supports military dictatorships in Africa and Southeast Asia for resources.

    You are right in my opinion. "Iraq""Iran""North Korea" were the "Axis of evil" according to "the United States of America"


    I don't think they are or ever were a threat to "America" or "freedom" or "Democracy" in any shape or form.

    Ze Germans of course, has history thought you nothing :rolleyes:

    Ah, ok. I understand now. Well, it was George W. Bush who labelled these countries as the "Axis of Evil" but he also believe he's gonna be lifted out of his clothes when the apocalypse comes. Born again Christians are lunatics and I avoid listening to anything they have to say to be honest. :D

    I was in the U.S. for the 9/11 thing but came back to Ireland after Congress passed the Patriot Act. The U.S. has ironically become the least democratic country in western society. Watch this video to learn about what democracy in the U.S. has become. The first 40 seconds is all you really need to watch but the whole thing is very interesting.

    Which countries do you believe are a threat to "Freedom" and "Democracy" ?

    @the youtube video above:
    this is why electronic voting is not good AND a huge waste of money, and why it would fit in well with the irish political way, cant see why they ever scrapped it tbh :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭ValJester


    Surely Iraq represents no real threat considering it's now a US colony in all but name.Israel is the real threat.

    And by "world peace", I assume you mean the security of rich white people.

    You're a little behind the curve. Now that Obama's in charge, liking America is hip and cool again.

    You don't have to hate the US to realize that the combination of their malicious and inept foreign policies have damaged themselves and destabilized many countries around the world.

    The other three are no comparison in terms of their effect on the world. Their actions are largely inconsequential, despite their bluster and despite the media's best efforts to convince you otherwise.

    Depends on what perspective you're looking from and how you interpret 'world-peace'.

    Edit: i know that goes without saying and is a pointless post; but it really does and is a very complicated question.
    I should just remove this post; but i won't, because i'm drunk.
