Ragnell Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 What is, in you opinion, the biggest threat to global security at the moment? And don't just say "terrorism" or "pollution", be specific. I would say it is the really radical terrorists in the Middle East. They haven't done much recently, but I bet attacks will start up again once the U.S. and other countries back out. That or North Korea. They scare the crap out of me. Especially with the new missiles they claim to have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, global warming kinda scares me, though I aint scared of anything. Yep, this world will soon end... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruitloop Multipuck Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The United States is probably less likely to unleash something supremely devastating like a nuclear war than some other countries, but considering all the lesser devastation it's caused and will likely continue to cause...yeah, I'm gonna say we have met the enemy and it is us.

Fox Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 If climate change really comes into full swing, then we'll be looking at a pretty vast reshaping of the world's ecosystem and uh, landscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Spoon Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Why the fuck would North Korea scare you? I don't care what shit they say they have, they just have some nukes that they can't bother us with. There's kinda an ocean between us, and I doubt they'll be getting a nuke across it anytime soon by any means. Remember, this is the country where people are starving and not allowed to leave.

Actually, they just announced that they have missiles that can reach the US. If this is true, the government expects to see some tests within the next week or so. We're hoping we can shoot 'em down first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grandjackal Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Greatest threat to the world? Everything! The universe could collapse for all we know. So many ways to shatter global security, who gives a shit? At least we can do stuff to make sure it isnt' our faults...a whole 2 things of nuclear war and global warming. Nuclear war will happen eventually and we aren't gonna solve global warming. So what's the greatest threat? Our inability to enjoy anything.

Not Changed by VASM :( Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Global Warming is probably the biggest GLOBAL threat. There may be some more immediate danger to some countries, but world wide, Global Warming is easily the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defeatist Elitist Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Uh, I dunno, greatest threat? To be honest, the greatest threat to HUMANITY is probably Climate Change right now. I don't see how a bunch of extremists living in the Middle East (read as a fucking hellhole for EVERYONE living there, extremist or not) are going to be making much of a difference.

Der Kommissar Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Actually, they just announced that they have missiles that can reach the US. If North Korea were to claim that the sky was blue, I'd go outside and check. The word of the norks is less than worthless.

Very good point. North Korea is about as trustworthy as a toilet paper safety harness. Plus, there's the fact that they've been facing famine for several years now, which they adamantly deny is happening. At least they're not as fucked as Zimbabwe.

Kintenbo Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Actually, aren't tensions rising high between North and South Korea again? I hope they don't go to war, I know a girl from South Korea. I'd hate to know that she'd be in massive danger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kommissar Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 (edited) Actually, aren't tensions rising high between North and South Korea again? To my knowledge, yes. Of course, NK is unlikely to actually do anything. NK gets by in the modern world by being stereotyped as unpredictable and dangerous; going to war would pull back the curtain on that, and this time there would be no red Chinese army to save them. The men in charge aren't likely to risk their comfort. Edited February 19, 2009 by Der Kommissar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
