With the events unfolding in North Korea, just thought it was time for FR to have a live Asian thread also.
GREAT idea!!! thanks!
That great idea we don't know when Chia Pet act like 5 year old
There should also be an Asia pinglist, too. (there's one for Japan, but it is infrequent, and Japan is not all Asia). There could also be one for Latin America and a pan-European one.

Here's an Asian Bread logo
Could I be included on your ping list, please.
By the way,...caught a CSPAN video of a panel in Washington that was pretty good.....
Some new insights for me.....
One statement from the panel was that "the divisions between China and North Korea may be bigger than between us and North Korea"
The Chinese think they are crazy and are deeply concerned about the collapse of the regime, as is South Korea....more concerned on that as a possibilty than whether or not they have Nukes......
Ping to self.

The Atomic Genie- what we have about North Korea's Nuclear program

(AP) A North Korean official threatened "strong countermeasures" against Japan for new sanctions against the communist regime, Kyodo News agency reported from Pyongyang on Thursday. ...
"The specific contents will become clear if you keep watching. We never speak empty words," he added.
... Song said that Pyongyang considered Japan's measures as "more serious in nature" than other nations' because Tokyo has yet to adequately atone for its 1910-1945 colonization of the Korean Peninsula.
"We will be taking countermeasures by calculating that in," Song said.
""We will be taking countermeasures by calculating that in," Song said."
That doesn't sound good for Japan.
