Korea
Japan’s reinvasion hysteria assailed
2003-04-07
Anti-Japanese guy hasn't gone on vacation yet. Maybe that's why he's all pissy...
The director general of Japan's Defence Agency recently said that if North Korea contemplates launching missiles over Japan, it will be not unconstitutional for Japan to make a preemptive attack on the launching site. Earlier, he told the security committee of the House of Representatives of Japan, clamoring for "missile threat" from the DPRK, that it is worth examining the "self-defence forces'" possible possession of capability to attack any other country's military base. Commenting on this assertion, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary:
The Japanese reactionaries are vociferous that Japan's security is threatened by the DPRK right now. But it is no more than a trick to find a pretext for Japan's reinvasion. Japan talked about "exclusive defence" in the past, but is now calling for legalization of preemptive attacks. This shows what dangerous phase its reinvasion hysteria has reached.
So invades first? Them, us, or the South Koreans?

Japanese officials are free to let loose very provocative outbursts that Japan may have a war with North Korea and Japan should make a preemptive attack on North Korea even with the help of the U.S. before the former is turned into a sea of fire.
Yeah! There it is! Sea of FIRE!!!

All the facts evidently tell that the Japanese reactionaries are keen to stage a comeback to Korea with the U.S. Iraqi war as an occasion. It is as clear as noonday what consequences Japan's reckless actions will produce. If Japan takes the road of reinvasion, dancing to the tune of the U.S. as it is doing so, its security cannot be guaranteed. Japan will get itself into a big trouble beyond imagination, if it acts like a puppy knowing no fear of the tiger.
These guys must get Kung Fu reruns on Pyongyang cable.

Ok, so I'm confused....who gets turned into a sea of fire? North Korea, Japan or the US? And is that before or after the puppy gets eaten by the tiger? (Quick, alert PETA!!)

This guy needs to frolic with the rainbows on Mt Paektu to rest and recharge......

#5  Gearing up for military production will also throw some juice into their economy.

I don't know what NKor tactics are like, but their strategy sucks.

#4  Remember the words Yamamoto was supposed to have said after Pearl Harbor? "I am afraid we have awakened a sleeping dragon, and filled it with a terrible resolve." I think North Korea is doing the same thing with Japan. If it is, the stupidity quotient is out of sight. The Japanese are finally discussing rebuilding and modernizing its national defense infrastructure to where they can protect themselves. Their economy may be "flat", but they have an industrial capability that is 100 times what North Korea can even try to put forth. Not to mention some ten times the population, and an education system that turns out some absolutely brilliant minds. I don't think China or Russia are going to be terribly pleased by Kim stirring up the Japanese and giving them something to unite around.
