#2 The Norks keep acting like they don't give a darn about this kind of aid. Do they have other plans? Like China?

It'd be funny as hell if the SKors just parked the ship off their shore just outside their boundary near that island that they just shelled.

#3 And that idiot Ban Ki-moon, Secretary General of the U.N. wants to appease Kimmie and his spawn with even more food Aid.

And the U.S. pays 20% of the cost of the Useless Nitwits... Japan also pays a lot.

#4 Maybe someone should ask them if they think it's OK to stick chopsticks in their eyes.

#6 Uncle Phester: EXACTLY what I am thinking.

NK does not care if SK cuts food aid.

China feeds it.

Which is why this whole thing was pre-approved by China. The Hermit Kingdom would not burn their only ally, the hand that props them up and feeds them.

Beijing pre-approved this attack

It gives them leverage over the US

It means they can demand a softer stance from the US on exchange rates.

welcome to economic reality, China style.

Yes they own US$2.5 trillion of US Government bonds.

No they don't like seeing the US$ devalued - but they won't care so long as the Yuan goes down in lock-step peg so their exports are OK.

But what they will NOT tolerate is a rising Yuan to a falling US $

Because THAT would support US exports at the expense of Chinese exports. That would support US jobs at the expense of Chinese jobs.

They don't want that. And if you push them, then they will bring out the Hermit Kingdom to do the dirty work...

so we have to beg them to intervene.

You will NEVER read this kind of analysis in an Australian newspaper. All our media is controlled by either the Government (ABC), Rupert Murdoch, Fairfax or Kerry Stokes. Not many key figures for the grey men to call before stories don't come out or an agenda set. There is no free speech or truly independent media in Australia.

Thanks for posting that interesting link from the Epoch times.
