I’m a Pundit

North Korea has yet again begun to push the boundaries of nuclear testing as they launched an underground nuclear test with less than an hours warning to the rest of the world.  Their consistant tests of these weapons against all UN laws has sparked contraversy over the fact that maybe the American war against WMD’s would be better spent in these locations rather than say, those with no evidence of Weapons of Mass Distruction.

This is worrying though, as North Korea does not seem to have any qualms about their irresponsible use of nuclear power, especially in its military capacity.  Many people have now begun to question whether or not North Korea is infact a threat.  This is in my eyes particularly relevant considering how few people were concerned about the threat posed by other, low risk, countries.

For the meantime however there is little we can do other than watch and wait, although the real risk is an all out war developing between Japan and China versus North Korea.  This could cause real tension in the region where the two countries have often been held with a steady wary gaze from their neighbours. Both these world powers have expressed concern over the testing so close to their borders though, they have also warned the North Korean government with possible military action.

As some of you may be aware I was planning to head off to America for a while.  It all seemed to be going swimmingly up until I got through to customs at Detroit Airport.

Now let me back track a little bit first, I quit my job, moved out of my house and all that because I couldn’t keep a job going while I ws over in America and I couldn’t  afford to pay for a house while I was gone.  This didn’t really help me significantly, even though i have around £10,000 ready to spend, since apparently jacking in your house and job is a sure sign of an immigrant.  for this reason they took my bags and my passpot then threw me on to the next plane out of America with nothing but a bag of juice and a slim jim, slim jims are disguisting by the way (think pepperani mixed wtih hay), but after nearly a day without any proper food I wolfed it down!

This entire debacle has however fucked things up majorly for me, this has left me with veryfew options, I am however persuing them withdue haste.  Apparently it seems I got unlucky when I was talking to some people later on, American customs runs on a quota system, and with it being at the end of the month, and me being a traveller on the visa waiver program, I was easy pickings.  That and Detroit is apparently well known for its arsehole interigation crews at customs.

No matter how manytimes I have been told it wsa just luck however this does not remove the fact that it majorly fucked up my holiday, I have given up a lot for this trip and need to put some real effort in to getting some kind of payback on the high and mighty guys who so self righteously screwed me over.
