[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [qb] North Korea is a joke, they have been, always will be. They keep playing this game of saber rattling. The nation wants to act like the bad boy in town, but they really have nothing to back it up. They just want aid again since they can barely maintain their nation as it is. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yet they have a ready army of 750,000, thousands of cannons and missiles pointed directly across the DMZ at South Korea and have missiles that can reach Japan (if not, it seems, very relably). I heard an intriguing idea today on NPR today- the idea that NK is provoking some rebuke so they can withdraw from all talks and obligations- closing up like a clam untill they can sort out Kim's (eventual) replacment. That's coming soon and they dont want to look weak and disorganized if the little psycho kicks the bucket. It might also be a test of exactly what they can get away with just now- US forces are stretched incredibly thin and there's no way we could completely defend SK in an all-out shooting war- despite us having 28,500 troops [i]already[/i] stationed there to do just that. I guess we'll know things are going downhill if the US sends a carrier into the area. Hmmm...I wonder how this plays in Hapan just now, what with the movement to remove all US military bases from the country (and an odd nationalist revision of the history of WWII in some circles, painting Japan as the victim of US aggression).
