| #4 There is also the question of whether a mad Kimmie would be obeyed if he uttered an irreversible order. After all, quite recently he disappeared from the news for a while, and his title was reduced to a mere "Leader Kim Jong Il." The Generals must know that they will have to clean up the mess afterward, so they have a double set of consequences to think about at each decision point.... |

| #3 2b---quite possibly mad. But he is also playing the old playbook. Make dire threats, withdraw the threats when appeasement comes through. Then make new dire threats for new agendas. Lather, rinse, repeat. We need to quit playing the game. By we I mean the US, Japan and South Korea, and Russia to some extent. The quicker Nork sinks, the better off everyone, including the North Korean people will be. The Chicoms will figure into this. If they keep Kimmie going, it will cost them big time, like a nuclear armed Japan. |
