Take your pick ... of course then there are the poor EU countries in crisis threatening to bring down the whole EU and the good ol' USofA with a crisis of identity or Iran or Israel.... or China which is now producing most of the products of the western world, now that could be a future powder keg of monumental proportions .

The most dangerous country would be one that has its own agenda regardless of the laws and protocol accepted by the international community. One that accepts as just the idea that they alone hold the key to eternal peace, even if it means slaughtering anyone that dare challenge their inequities or errors in judgement.
Flyingstart: The USA is the most dangerous. Its foreign policy is the cause of most of the worlds major conflicts.
With the world in recession I think every other country is insecure.
Hasn't Obama, his administration, apologized enough for ya yet. We can't help it that everybody moved here, from all over the world, then sent money, and protection back to their home nations.

We live in difficult times.
Isn't the Chinese saying "We are or may soon be living in 'interesting times'" Anyone remember 'air raid' exercises'?

Already posted this in another thread... but it seems apropos for anyone who wants to blame all of our woes of the last 9 years on Obama... come on now...
In response to: None of them on on my list for a vacation this year..
... well put Paris, Greece and Thailand on the list of non vacation areas too... I keep waiting for Italy to belly up to some civil revolutionary disobedience.. but they might miss lunch... so you're safe there ... if you can afford it .

bjk68: I believe it's a chinese curse..... May you live in interesting times
Most Chinese scholars will not recognise the 'curse' as Chinese, because if it is of Chinese origin, it has somehow escaped mention in all of the ancient Chinese literature. It may, however, be a paraphrase of a liberal translation from a Chinese source, and therefore unrecognisable when translated back to Chinese. One possibility is a relation to the Chinese proverb, 'It's better to be a dog in a peaceful time than be a man in a chaotic period
lovingyou49: True, people talk but still come here
I'm still trying to figure out why some leave, then come back talking up a storm of why we need to be like the places they grew up in. I've been to the UK, South East Asia, South America, and they all wanna come home with me. I just can't figure it out.
Other, Pakistan. Not many countries of the world have a combination of an ongoing rebellion AND nuclear weapons. Does anybody REALLY want to see a fundamentalist 'pseudo-Islamic' state with Nuclear weapons?

I still say it is Anartica....those Emperor Penguins are very hard to get along with...and I still say it is very cold there so you need your wool socks
Good gosh this is a travisty....send us a map and we will bomb the narrow minded so and so's.....but we'll will need the backing of the United Nations first of course...
Without question the most dangerous country on earth has to be North Korea right now. They have been at war with South Korea since 1950? The Korean war never officially ended you know. It was just an armistice. An armistice is a situation in a war where the warring parties agree to stop fighting. It is not necessarily the end of a war, but may be just a cessation of fighting.
NK is ruled by Kim Jong-Il a dictator who shows very strong signs of paranoia with a God like self image. He has placed his country and its people squarely in the cross hairs of a super power who if pushed sufficiently has the power to turn the whole country into a radioactive wasteland. This makes for a very dangerous place to be. By developing nuclear weapons and missles and sinking ships on the high seas, he is playing the most dangerous game of brinksmanship. A game which if played out to its conclusion could spell disaster for him and his country.
