#1 I am hoping that North Korea buys a lot more from Iran on credit.

#2 Any ideas on how long it'll be before Obama bails them out?

Oh he'll call it something like 'in exchange for [unverified] halting of their nuclear program' or some such rot...

#3 Oh yeah, you know its going to be a fancy name for it. Move along there's, nothing here that's important. "These aren't the drones you are looking for".

#4 $500,000 in ginseng for repayment. That's a good one. Will have to research who are the European banks who were stupid enough to loan the Norks money. The should be stuck with the worthless debt.

#5 I expect that NK will soon discover that approximately $9.99 will buy the Parker Brother's game Monopoly which includes probably $10K in currency. They wouldn't have to purchase all that many to games to pay off their Czech tab. They may also note that purchases of the game Life also include some stock and insurance certificates. The tin figurines in Monopoly could also be melted down and turned into something. Let Juche be your guide.

Alternately, Norks could tell their Czech creditors that they sent the check to the Slovak's.
