#1 I am glad the Norks are the Chicoms' problem.

Question: if the Chicoms regime change the Norks, and the NY Times doesn't comment on it, did they make a sound?

2nd Question: Over-under on the Chicoms get disgusted and regime change the Norks?

#2 Sounds like Norks are hurting for stuff and are hijacking Chinese boats (targets of opportunity) to strip them of needed supplies and materials. And why not do some ransom action for cash in a cash strapped economy? There will be a tipping point for the Chinese; the question is what or how many hijacks will it take for action?

#3 Sounds like Norks are hurting for stuff and are hijacking Chinese boats

The question is whether it's institutional, or there's a breakdown occurring.

#4 Desperate people do desperate things. The problem for the Chicoms is if they aren't careful, they get this mess squarely in their laps. Always a balancing act to keep your trailed pack of curs hungry and loud but not willing to bite you, since once the taste blood and the smell of meat, the pack mentality kicks in and you have to eliminate them. The Norks give Nazi Germany a run for the money in evil given how many have endured so much for so long, and no one can fix it except the SKors, at huge cost in blood and treasure, and the Chicoms won't let that happen. Human tragedy on an epic scale.

#6 "he was 'worried that the North Koreans could abuse our sailors'"

You'd do better to worry they're going to EAT your sailors.

Just sayin' ....
