#19  Wonder what the tab will be after we nuke the living sh$$ out of them the next time they get "rambunctious". As for China, they cannot afford to have the US hit ONE CITY of theirs with a nuke, and there's no way in he$$ they can prevent it. They know it, we know it.

#17  NK5th Brigade killed all those Matabele in Zimbob-land, and he never paid you?

The Chinese did the 'leasing' for ZANU and probably didn't pay Kim much.

#16  What? NK 5th Brigade killed all those Matabele in Zimbob-land, and he never paid you? Seriously, there's a reason you have grass soup and tree-bark entrees, now for once do the decent thing and FOAD.

#15  Actually Just a misprint. Should be 64 dollars and 96 cents. Most of their yearly GDP.

#14  it sickens me, but i can easily imagine that 0bama would pay this in exchange for 'considerations' relating to the Norks continuing their nuke program.

#13  What the hell - put him on the list. There's millions of bills the US isn't going to pay.

#12  99.99% of this is probably "pain & suffering". Send Kim Il Sung the bill.

#8  See other link at this site.

At dawn, June 25th, 1950, North Korea under the dictatorship of Kim Il-sung began an unbroken string of provocations against South Korea starting with the invasion of South Korea in a surprise attack.


I'd say they are going to have to eat it.

CHINA WILL NOT SEND IN PLA FORCES UNLESS THE DPRK ATTACKS THE US-ROK, OR THE DPRK IS ITSELF ATTACKED BY THE US-ROK.


LOL, that just about covers all bases.

#3  ION MWF > "YELLOW SEA" MEANS WAR: THE BOTTOM LINE OF CHINA'S MILITARY DECREE BY SENIOR OFFICERS ON POST-CHEONAN PLA MILITARY INTERVENTION IN THE KOREAS. CHINA WILL NOT SEND IN PLA FORCES UNLESS THE DPRK ATTACKS THE US-ROK, OR THE DPRK IS ITSELF ATTACKED BY THE US-ROK. FOSTERING OF INTENSIVE SINO/CHINA-DPRK MILEXS, BILATERAL COOPERATION + MIL INTEGRATION, IS THE BEST WAY FOR BEIJING TO DETER REGIONAL WAR AND KEEP A WARY EYE ON NORTH KOREA.

IOW, DPRK = Kimmie won't be able anymore to do another "CHEONAN" = major incident widout de facto CHIN PLA CONSENT OR FORE-KNOWLEDGE.

* SAME > CHINA HAS NO FEAR OF DESTROYING THE "USS GEORGE WASHINGTON" US CARRIER: DURING THE THIRD TAIWAN CRISIS [late 1950's], CHINA BRAVELY FACED OFF AGZ SEVEN US FLEET CARRIERS AND 100 US NAVY WARSHIPS.

* SAME > PLA "SECOND ARTILLERY" + PLAAF WILL TARGET US NAVAL FLEETS FOR ATTACK IN THE SEA OF JAPAN + TAIWAN STRAIT.

* SAME > JAPAN EXTENDS ITS SDF "AIR DEFENSE IDENTIFICATION ZONE" [Japan F-15's] TO THE WEST SIDE OF YONAGUNI CLOSER TOWARDS TAIWAN AND MAINLAND CHINA.

#2  So that is how North Korea explains the people they "disappear". They must tell the people that the US "abducted" them.

#1  If they had surrendered, instead of just doing the cease fire thing, maybe they'd be like our previous defeated enemies, Japan & Germany.
