I Am Moving To North Korea

I gotta belive it's mostly about postioning with N. Korea right now.

Mike is correct, a long winter is coming and they need all the help they can get.

there will be a deal made, and ships carrying grain, food, etc will arrive.

yeah, but Todd... thats also extortion correct?

i dont think its right to support someone who say's "yeah well we are forced to develop nuclear weapons and may have to use them unless you are going to further finance our radically fucked up Communist dictatorship thats brought nothing but misery and starvation to our people"

i think that once someone tries to play the "nuclear card" - they should be vaporized. there is no military strategist on the planet that will say "hmmm... well, maybe they probably wont launch, so we should just wait and see"

here is the best part. "diplomacy" - the UN and all relevant parties will try to resolve this through diplomacy. But thats what North Korea wants and why they are doing this... that scenario to me is not much different than someone taking hostages and making demands. the two assumptions always have to be:

1) the intention is to kill the hostages and you lose
2) negotiating with the hostage takers will cause more of the same situations and you lose.

i would be willing to bet that the US is not going to be sending any aid to N Korea. this whole thing is happening because they already stopped sending aid.

they were referred to as part of an "Axis of Evil" by Bush. I thought that speach was way out of line and typical of Bush's "fuck you if you dont like it" abrasiveness. i now think it was more likely that he and his crew knew this moment was coming.

i dont think war is a good thing. but i am also not too naive to realize that peace throughout the entire history of civilization has only come through defeating the enemy... and peace is and ALWAYS has been only temporary.
