Due to all the far-left socialist (and I mean that in the classic Marxist definition of the term, not Scandinavian social democracy) sites I visit, I'm sure that they're actively monitoring what I'm doing on my computer.

Huh. I live pretty close to the shoreline and don't remember any abnormally high waves.

I'm reading this in an RSS reader. It's not pleasant needing to go to the site for every new article.

There are 9 nuclear nations: France, the UK, China, Russia, the USA, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea. Out of those, the first 5 are all recognized in the NPT. India, Pakistan, and Israel never signed the NPT. North Korea withdrew. Which 4 are you talking about?

North Korea has a huge assortment of artillery buried in the mountain that's designed to survive almost short of a nuke. And speaking of nukes, they have those as well. I doubt they could cause much damage to the US, but they could cause a lot to South Korea, China, and Japan.

The US is more likely to attack Iran. It needs some war, but it would be easier to get away with one against a country with a supposed WMD program that is sponsoring terrorists than one that definitely has a WMD program. Also, all of the NK refugees would spill into China and SK. Neither of those countries could deal with them.

What is the RNK? Do you mean DPRK?

China is only supporting the DPRK as a buffer between it and South Korea. They would Abba abandon it as soon as a war starts. I'm sure they have having an unpredictable nuclear state on their border just as much as the ROK.

We could. Then, refugees would flood China and South Korea. Neither of those countries could deal with it.

Whenever we cut off aid, North Korea throws a tantrum and does a nuclear test. We promptly restore food shipments.

I wouldn't really say it's been working in China. The government's rich, but the average person is pretty bad off. I'd agree with you on the other places, though.

England should get the .en domain. Whales should get thu .wl domain. Northern Ireland should get a domain, but .ni is taken. .st, .sd, .so, and .st are taken, but I'm sure some domain could be thought of for Scotland.

Why can't there be a headline that doesn't make me want to move to Sweden?

Um, why is this News For Nerds?
