#1 ION SPILLOVER, YONHAP > ARE EGYPT-STYLE UPHEAVALS POSSIBLE IN NORTH KOREA?

and

* SAME > ABSORPTION-BASED REUNIFICATION IS NOT AN OPTION: PRIME MINISTER [ROK PM Kim Hwang-sik].
The current Admin under ROK President LEE MYUNG-BAK FAVORS DPRK-ROK MUTUAL = BILATERAL CO-EXISTENCE + COOPERATION.

* WAFF > [Pravda]IS CHINA WORKING ON INTERVENTION IN NORTH KOREA?

Cold War "DETENTE'", ala US-VS-USSR???

Wehell, pragmatically RISING CHINA may be able to wait thru Year 2030-2050 to get its desired SOLE BASE RIGHTS VEE THE "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" - IN THE ABSENCE OF MASSIVE ROUTINE INTERNATIONAL AID [per annum until???], i.e. A "MARSHALL PLAN" BY + SOLELY FOR NORTH-KOREA-N-ONLY-NORTH-KOREA, ITS DUBIOUS IFF STARVING NORTH KOREA CAN WAIT 2015-2020/2025 TO GET OUT OF FAMINE + ECON MORASS???

Again, from yestiddy, NORTH KOREA'S ECON = described as International Observers as akin to POOR AFRICAN = SUB-SAHARAN STATES, IIUC worse than contemporary East Asian States.

VERSUS

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > SOUTH KOREA DROPS LEAFLETS [info, food, medicine, radio packages]ON NORTH ABOUT EGYPT, TUNISIA [Mideast "Jasmine" protests, Mubarak, etc.].

I don't think Pyongyang is gonna like this development.

THE ROK LEAFLETS ARE ONE THING, BUT IMO WHATS REALLY GONNA RILE/ANGER NORTH KOREA IS BEING COMPARED TO POOREST-OF-THE-POOR AFRICAN STATES, as ITO it means NOKOR is a [unofficial = undeclared] FAILED STATE, + that the NOKOR COMMIE-SOC MOVEMENT is ditto a FAILED IDEO, MOVEMENT that has achieved little-iff-anything since the end of the first 1950-1953 Korean War.

* SAME > NORTH KOREA + IRAN HOLD TALKS TO FIGHT THE US [share a common front as per Nucprogs].

* TOPIX > NORTH KOREA BLASTS JAPAN, accusnig Nippon of planning to use KOREA(S) CLAIMED DOKKDO ISLE FOR MIL AGGRESSION = ATTACKS AGZ NORTH KOREA.

Dokkdo = South Kuriles? Senkakus/Daoyus?

----------

ION PEOPLES DAILY FORUM > RUSSIA "MAY SEND" WARSHIP TO KURILS ISLANDS, to deter + defend agz Japan.

The Probs wid "MISTRALS".

* SAME > GLOBAL BELT-TIGHTENING DROPS JAPAN'S HOPES [Nippon econ recovery vee various overseas foreign infrastructure investment projects].

* SAME > CHINESE TO BECOME AMERICA'S THIRD LARGEST MINORITY GROUP [by 2020].

* SAME > ARCTIC GAME CHANGER? Inter-State/Regional Challenges as per NE Asia + NE Asian MILPOLECON Security may shift focii away from the SOUTH CHINA SEAS + INDIAN OCEAN REGIONS.
