Are you worried about North Korea?

[Bear-Arms]

Considering our poor relationship with countries in the Middle East, especially with Iraq and Iran, do you worry about N. Korea at all? Obviously you probably don't lose sleep over N. Korea, but do you consider them a threat to our nation? To add a few questions: Is there a risk Mexico could elect someone that would side with Venezuela and Cuba? How would this effect us?

What threat does Venezuela pose to the U.S.? They have no empirical desires. The only thing I can see is that their pay very little for oil and gas and the makes our oil profiteers nervous. They also are threatening to switch from the U.S. dollar to the Euro for oil currency which could hurt the U.S. dollar.

Seriously, what other evils have Venezuela done? FYI - Their leader has an approval rating of over 80%.

Of the four countries mentioned, Mexico, Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea, who do you think poses a greater threat to the United States?

Mexico, hands down.

North Korea will never have enough nukes for us to worry about. The missle test they are threatening to have right now? Shoot that f***** down as soon it leaves North Korean airspace.

I don't know if the readers of the forum know this, but Cubans who come to the United States get a free pass. They are granted political asylum and allowed to remain in the United States indefinitely. If we changed our policy toward Cuba we could get rid of all these 'asylum' seekers and enjoy a good Cuban cigar once in a while. Seriously, what threat does Cuba pose to the United States? They can't attack us militarily, and they can't affect us economically.

Venezuela, well, Poop already broke that argument down. I see Venezuela as no threat to the U.S. either.

Mexico, on the other hand, with their unbridled support of illegal immigration, corrupt government support of the drug trade, meddling in U.S. affairs, and siphoning off of billions of dollars every year, IS a threat, primarily because they are our neighbor. If Mexico were located in Africa or South America, they wouldn't be much of a threat, either. The problem is we share one of the longest borders in the world with a bass-ackward third world nation posing as a first world government. Mexico should be the focus of our foreign policy right now, not the Middle East - Iraq and Iran, North Korea, or Venezuela.

Or Israel, either.

China is the biggest foreign threat. No question.
