#1 Compare wid PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > ANALYSTS REVEAL "REAL" 2009 NORTH KOREAN DEFENCE BUDGET.

Its US$9.0Bilyuhn, not US$570.0Milyuhn as proclaimed by Pyongyang.

As compared to the DPRK's estimated = official GDP, IFF YOU'RE WONDERING WHY NORTH KOREA IS STARVING + OTHER, WONDER NO MORE!

#2 Explain to me again, State Department, why we are sending aid to this vile government instead of isolating it and toppling it?

#3 OS you have a point there, this regime would fall much quicker than Iraq and more complete. You have to wonder why the "civilized" world allows them to continue.

#4 For the same reason they give the Paleostinians money, barely prosecute wars so they go on forever, and allow terrorists carry out their lives and convert more to terrorism in their midst while they watch.

#5 PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > US SURPRISED AT HIGH LEVEL OF SOPHISTICATION [2nd Generation = P2 Centrifuge tech]IN NORTH KOREA'S URANIUM PLANT [Yongbyon]. NucPert SIEGFRIED HECKER.

HECKER states in Artic that NORTH KOREA ALREADY HAS [several = anumber of] NUCLEAR WEAPONS, hence in Pyongyang's view the US-WEST/UNIAEA claim that the North can produce enough HEU Nucmats at Yongbyon to produce one Uranium Bomb per annum is IRRELEVANT = OBSOLETE.

IIUC, HECKER > is indirectly arguing that NORTH KOREA is a DE FACTO NUCLEAR = NUCWEAPONS STATE that chooses to prioritize Militarized NucWeaps manufac over NucEnergy for Consumer,Industrial Purposes; + NORTH KOREA AS A "SOVEREIGN" WORLD STATE IS UNILATERALLY HOLDING ITSELF BACK AS PER PRODUC MORE URANIUM-OR-BETTER NUCBOMBS.

Read, DPRK FEAR OF CHINA'S MILITARY REACTION.

* SAME > RESHUFFLE OF MILITARY POWER LAYOUT IN NORTH EAST ASIA. Regional Balance-of-Power is a'changin for everyone.

ARTIC = Of all the Regional States in NEAsia + their various inter-relationships, RUSSIA'S MILITARY POWER + INFLUENCE IS VIEWED AS THE ONLY ONE TO BE IN STEADY DECLINE???

* SAME > NORTHEAST INDIANS WANT TO BE CHINESE!?

ARTIC = claims that Ethnic groups in NE India histor feel more ethnic/socio-culturally more related = kindred to China than to India, + WOULD HAVE MUCH BETTER CIVIL, PROPERTY RIGHTS + QUALITY-OF-LIFE UNDER CHIN THAN UNDER INDIA???

OTHER - ditto MYANMAR[Burma], BANGLADESH, + TIBET???
