| I fail to see the logic behind believing North Korea will (or even CAN) attack anyone, much less the U.S. or one of our allies. If Kim Jong Mental Ill attacks Japan or anywhere else, I think the better part of the world will join together and roll right over the country, especially if NK acts first, as that should be enough to keep China out of the picture.
And if NK actually NUKES another country, it's all over for them. As placid as the rest of the civilized world appears, I think this would be their wake up call and move them to united action.
My personal take is that this is the usual ploy Korea trots out every few years to shore up its broken economy and keep the current regime in power. "Hey guys, lookee me. I have nukes and I'm gonna use them. (wait an appropriate amount of time) Hey guys, if you send me a boatload of moola I'll stop all this and let you watch me dismantle a couple of nuke plants."
We pay the little bum off as usual and Kim averts another revolution of his starving population by tossing the people a bone paid for by the U.S. and other nations.
It's not like it hasn't happened before.
Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots. |
