North Korea and the little nuke…

Greetings, loyal minions. Your Maximum Leader knows that by now you’ve probably read piles of stuff on North Korea. Many of the big sites that have been linked by others, in turn link to various Korea bloggers. Some of whom……

Origami, I seriously doubt it. A lot of the top generals are his half-brothers (Kim Il Sung got around) and cousin (his uncles got around).

Is it just me or is little Kim getting a bit desperate? It seems like the end is getting very near for our dear dictator. It wouldn’t surprise me if the generals decides to take him behind the woodshed and do him in.

“Eh. How much did nukes change Pakistan and India? Sure, circumstances are different, but clearly people can adjust, even to nukes.”

That’s exactly what North Korea wants to happen in the long run…well, until it starts exporting nukes and producing missiles that can reach the US.

Not sure if this is just rhetoric and gamesmanship coming from the West, but increasingly it is looking like the NK’s nuke was no great success. Small, maybe quite faulty. I’m beginning to think the North Koreans build nukes the way South Koreans build cars — first rate for exports, but underpowered pieces of crap at home.

LOL DDA–I saw the news last night at Narita airport while we were waiting for our flight back to Seoul, so I guess I’m a tough guy for flying into the eye of the storm.

Sunbin’s probably right, the norks shot their wad with this one (time to bust out some counterfeit Viagra). Like their “intercontinental” missile that couldn’t leave the Sea of Petty Name Dispute. It reeks of desperation.

Time to crank up the sanctions, the only foreign policy that Bush is doing right.

“4. Koreans should not panic, things will back to normal in a couple of days.” Korea is never “normal,” but since you don’t live here how would you know?

I could see Bush’s fault in refusing to talk to North Korea, but it was Bill Cliton and Kim Dae Jung who groomed North Korea to expect aid in exchange of turning the nuclear program to peaceful uses.

Kim Jong Il probably wants enormous aid and a US guaranttee that there will be no invasions to North Korea, ever, under any circumstance. And, he wants a nuke to back up such a deal in paper.

So the ever fearful and anxiety ridden OCD Kim Jong Il is at fault. He wants it both ways. He wants a nuke. He wants a written deal. And he wants aid.

In this process of protecting mainly “himself” and serving the immediate interest of “himself” and some other loyal subjects, he destroyed a generation of North Koreans’s lives.

Bush is not the evil one. America had no incentive to keep pumping aid. That would be like hauling aid to Iran right now to make them stop their crap, but they would be building up WHILE receiving aid.

Fuck Kim Jong Il for actually testing a nuke. I hope he suffers in his later years.

> BUT. Korea will not be the same. We are talking flippin’ nukes.

Eh. How much did nukes change Pakistan and India? Sure, circumstances are different, but clearly people can adjust, even to nukes.
