#1 As an XPert(s)-alleged CRIMINAL/MAFIA STATE + REGIME, the NorKors are the only Nation/State-level, Global? "Syndicate" or Mafia, etc. thats starving beyond starving.

#2 Whoever pushes Kimmie out is going to be a hero. Might as well be us.

Wasn't the same thing said about Sammy?

BTW: Where's the Human Rights Commission on this? Wheres Human Rights Watch? Where's AmNasty International? Too busy complaining about the temprature in a GITMO interrogation room I guess...

And since North Korea has no 5-star hotels (with 24 hour catering) the Vampire Vulture Elite of the UN don't give a shit either.

People will think Rwanda was a walk in the park when North Korea finally opens up and they see the truth.....

#3 The mentality seems to have 2 primary components:

1) You touch it, you own it. That implies nation-building - and I'm sure we're out of that business... at least until we have a DhimmiDonk Prez, then it'll be okie-fine.

2) Everyone waits for us to act because they're incapable of acting... which is beyond convenient when you haven't the stones in the first place which is why you haven't the capability in the second.

We are in a lose-lose position until we make it clear we are NOT the World Police and that we are permanently OUT of the Nation-Building game. We'll break what we find that's dangerous, and repeat as necessary. That's it.

My 2 cents.

#4 Where's the Human Rights Commission on this? Wheres Human Rights Watch? Where's AmNasty International?

1. There's no Western nation involved.

2. They're not the 'right kind of people'.

3. No matter how bad it is, it's still a "Worker's Paradise".

#10 Crazy Fool, what do you mean? They have that giant hotel in the middle of the capital. You must have seen the pictures!

#11 That giant hotel was never finished, the interior of the part that was finished is decaying, and the elevators are an iffy proposition. Which means if you are above the fifth floor, sucks to be you. Oh, the water supply in the Pyongyang is questionable too - all sorts of microbal visitors come in each glassful.

#12 Seems to me that with our technology we should be able to use the NKor's own radio and TV frequencies and override their own broadcasting facilities in order to share the real news.....even if they were to shut down or attempt to jam, we would still control it.
and Kimmie thoughtfully provided all those receivers already!!!! no need to air drop or otherwise smuggle any in!
