Re: The Inevitability of Korea (again...)

Why missiles?
Designing  a heavy bomber would be much cheaper.

Missiles are quicker, and can be installed in vertical silos within the
ground. Given the "expertise" of North Korean tunneling, this could
give them a possible advantage against a first-strike by the south.

A missile would also have more of a chance of hitting the U.S. west
coast then a fleet of bombers.

"Given the "expertise" of North Korean tunneling"
....with professional volunteers.

Bombers are slow and can be shot down. In the end they are far more expensive if you don't the advantage of a certain delivery a few times. MTA is right

Apparently they are almost ready to fire another long-range rocket.
Provocations will ensue, of course.

But will it turn into a full-scale war?

Without any real external allies the North Koreans are pretty much on their own. And now,
with the countries future in doubts over who will be the next leader, i think any clashes will
be bigger and bloodier then every before...

Yeah, his youngest son.

Maybe now things will calm down, but they are still preparing that long-range missile :S.

No wfs you are so wrong. They all live in peace and happiness because of their equality. The great leader only has a ceremonial function. If I could take a day of I visit the country. Non of their women are fat!

Its a monarchy of tyrannical and brutal rule. The idea of communism, in this instance anyway,
is merely propaganda used to control the helpless masses.

Well, they redistribute wealth. Thats pretty communist.

Its just that the poor don't RECEIVE the wealth...

Coincidentally this is a shared trait with every nation ever to claim any communist attributes. Total coincidence. Honest.

Not surprised by anything in this article except for the quaint insistence that NK has full ICBM capability. I do not see mention of SK,let alone a threat to it.

http://www.onekorea.org/research/030419.html
This one is unintelligible, the library PC hates it hmm



Taken from the one I can read:

"[...] Nevertheless, Western press and analysts distort the truth and depict North Korea as an "impoverished" nation, starving and on the brink of imminent collapse. [...]"

You want to know what else is distorted, or unsaid in this case? The desire for unification. The biggest threat to SK at this time may in fact be its relationship with America.

Just a thought.

How is the relationship gonna harm them except through the agency of North Korea?

You have to remember that everything America does is wrong (they're an evil democratic country where people have rights) and everything NK does wrong is America's fault.

"fault" is always a matter of opinion. Opinions are based on propaganda.

Also remember the U.S. doesn't have the best track record when it comes to
ensuring democracy and doing whats right for non-American citizens (E.g. in
Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, allowing the Saudis to thrive, etc).

Re: The Inevitability of Korea (again...)

While I'm the first to attack the US for such past actions (and it's not like much has changed), I do believe that any suggestion that the US is a serious problem whereas NK is not is just ridiculous.

Although i agree i can see the alternative argument:

North Korea is almost entirely inward. Whereas the U.S. pushes itself
outward (I mean, the north only hurts its own people whereas the U.S.
pushes its agenda anywhere it can).

The U.S. needs foreign policy changes, and North Korea needs to be wiped
off the map (so to speak).

Skoe, building a fleet and throwing missles around and aimin cannon over the border and repudiating a cease fire aren't domestic policy decisions

True, but to date they havn't sponsored something like SAVAK or attempted
to invade somewhere like Vietnam just to insert their own beliefs and political
agenda.

NK is only "inward" in that its capacity to act "outward" much is very, very limited by its neighbors and the USA. Dynamics are quickly changing.
