The Chinese massing on the 880mile long border with NKorea ain't sitting around roasting hotdogs.

They are clearing brush to give clear fields of fire, reinforcing barbwire fences, and planting more landmines to guarantee a proper welcome to anyone trying to flee into China from NK.

That's my reading of China's intent as well.

One of the comforts of being born in the US is knowing that we will crush anyone who stands in the way of us.

It's true, I've grown up never fearing another country.

Right now, there is a serious story on the nightly news about KFC. We are complacent. And fat. And lazy.

But we will crush all who oppose our decadent and finite lifestyles.

Why is this an American responsibility to clean up or police? Who Says? Why not let the Chinese deal with it? What if we stayed out of it entirely, withdrew the US troops and let them do whatever they needed to do - without us.

This guy's on the exact same wavelength as me. The US has to chill out a little. Now's not the time to try to take away the NK's nukes. It's a mistake to analyze it in terms of Kim-un's personality, age or whatever. It's the same policy their govt has had all along.

North Korea's Ghadaffi Nightmare

The way the North Koreans look at it, Gaddafi gave up his nuclear bomb, and lost his head. The lesson of Saddam Hussein’s end is another cautionary tale for the North Koreans. If Saddam had held onto his weapons of mass destruction–and lots of them–the Obama Administration would have had second thoughts about invading his country.

Because we have a treaty with our homies that we'll protect them.
And that guarantees us Hyundais for life. That's totally worth it, isn't it?

Largo you might get your wish

Ok! It has been known for quite a while South Koreans solders are placed in the North as North Korean Soldiers as the same the Northern Soldiers are placed in the South as South Koreans soldiers. Spooks. But they do not talk together.

But latest rumour is China in the last few weeks placed spooks in the North since there are America spooks from the US. But the difference is: these Chinese spooks are talking with the US spooks and setting up contingence plans if North Korea starts something and will fail with China/US intervention by other means than shooting and it will be quick.

Now this might be a first plus it solves everyone’s problems no clean-up of nuclear waste, solves refugee problem, health issues and brings stability to the region with China doing the work.

Now it is getting interesting.

Werner, I am American, and I am stupid. I am the village idiot, and proud of it. An idiot savant.

I just happen to live abroad.


Werner says:

Chuck Norris could just go to North Korea by himself in his underwear and little Kim would sh!t a brick and stop everything ......

Isn't that sort of the like the line in On Deadly Ground, where your man says about Steven Seagal:

"You could drop this guy off at the Arctic Circle wearing a pair of bikini underwear, without his toothbrush, and tomorrow afternoon he's going to show up at your pool side with a million dollar smile and fist full of pesos."

Forget about North Korea v South Korea. I'd like to see the 'winner' of a Seagal v Norris stand off.



Locker says:

We should send in a "Sniper" and toast that little rat bastard...

No argument here, but why did we not do that with Saddam Hussein and save a lot of Iraqi, American and Allied lives? And the big hit to the American economy, and others?

BASE, Coz and others are right, it is about feeding the beast of the military-industrial complex that generals Dwight D Eisenhower and Smedley Butler warned us about.

Relative to the global potential for wreaking havoc I'm way more worried about the outbreak of an H7N9 strain of avian flu in China than I am about NK.

Just joking dude.

Yeah a pandemic could certainly take out more lives than North Korea.

One almost certain outcome of all this is that Japan will rearm.


I've read estimates that Japan could produce a working nuke in less than six months if they ever wanted to.

They already have the delivery systems.

WAR generates MOOLA!!!...


War funnels the sweat and equity of common people into the hands of those running the military industrial complex. The fed generates money. Labor generates money. This is a siphon.
