It splits the difference between the ROK and DPRK relationships with Myanmar. Just as long as the Burmese don't get Scuds. This is just preparation for unification!

Korea hasn't been and isn't one of the main offenders. There are a lot of countries - and arms exporters who operate from within these countries - who have dealt arms to the scum of the earth.

The outgoing administration has much to account for, if not many documents to shred because there is definitely much more to this story that has not been written about yet.

Artillery shells are so easy to make that one guy could set up a factory with one hand tied behind his back, right? I have seen this kind of crap myself: "Surely it wouldn't be a problem to re-export these [U.S. State Dept. munitions-list items] to [country on banned list], would it?" There is simply no sense of right and wrong or even lawful and unlawful, only making more coin. But when you explain that their company would essentially go out of business for making such a mistake, they listen. #2: I was thinking the same thing.
