| Text from North Korea statement |
| 2010-05-25 |
| The following are key points from the text of the report issued by the North's KCNA news agency. "The Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea, accordingly, formally declares that from now on it will put into force the resolute measures to totally freeze the inter-Korean relations, totally abrogate the agreement on non-aggression between the north and the south and completely halt the inter-Korean cooperation. "In this connection, the following measures will be taken at the first phase: "1. All relations with the puppet authorities will be severed. "2. There will be neither dialogue nor contact between the authorities during (South Korean President) Lee Myung Bak's tenure of office. "3. The work of the Panmunjom Red Cross liaison representatives will be completely suspended. "4. All communication links between the north and the south will be cut off. "5. The Consultative Office for North-South Economic Cooperation in the Kaesong Industrial Zone will be frozen and dismantled and all the personnel concerned of the south side will be expelled without delay. "6. We will start all-out counterattack against the puppet group's 'psychological warfare against the north.' "7. The passage of south Korean ships and airliners through the territorial waters and air of our side will be totally banned. "8. All the issues arising in the inter-Korean relations will be handled under a wartime law. "There is no need to show any mercy or patience for such confrontation maniacs, sycophants and traitors and wicked warmongers as the (South Korean President) Lee Myung Bak group." |

| #9 My thoughts: 1) They are too embarrassed to talk and/or what they have to say is weak. It's easy to avoid all these little complications by cutting off communications. 2) The Norks just implemented sanctions against themselves. Ignore them completely from now on in the name of keeping the peace. Don't send them any humanitarian or other forms of aid because it will only extend the time before the government there collapses. 3) They shouldn't overtly go out of their way, but don't give the Norks an inch on use of SKor airspace and waters. 4) Make sure the psych war is one that keeps the Nork leadership stuck on the fence and frustrated and causes lots of internal argument. If that's possible. Maybe hold massive barbeques near the DMZ all the time, including lots of laughing, music and dancing. Maybe let the Norks know that they have so much extra food of all kinds that they are just dumping it into the sea to get rid of it. 5) Invent something that makes a wake like a torpedo and then just disappears. Shoot it at some of their ships and enjoy the reaction. If they shoot back, sink them. Might want to tell the world what happened, might not. Maybe now, maybe later, maybe never. Maybe get it on tape, maybe not. |

| #8 Can we say the "Supreme Leader" is certifiable? And that he has the nuclear trump card over South Korea? South Korea is going to need some counterbalancing force that is nuclear-armed such as us to prevent Kimmie from playing this trump card. Some leader, somewhere, sometime is going to have to put this tin horn dictator nut case back in his cage and keep him from gnawing through the straps again. I don't see the One doing that. |

| #6 Yes, they're in trouble. It's possible that only a north south war like our civil war will bring resolution after bloodshed. And President Obama's null and void thought process might still has him hoping that things like this just work themselves out. Well, things like this never just work themselves out. It's not human nature. Sad that when it kicks off we're going to did in their civil war. |

| #3 Has anyone thought to tell our "asleep at the wheel" Dumbo that he may have a war on his hands in Korea and that he should make plans to actually do something. If we do not defend S. Korea, the Japanese will defend them and rearm. Who wants a rearmed Japan? No one on this planet. |
