MOSCOW – North Korea has advised foreign diplomats to consider evacuating their embassies there, in light of increasing tensions in the area, Russian and British diplomats said Friday. Russia’s foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, told reporters traveling with him in Uzbekistan Friday afternoon that Moscow was seeking more details about the North Korean statement before making a decision about whether to evacuate. Lavrov said Russia was treating the statement from Pyongyang as a suggestion and not an order.

Mobilization is what I look for. It means the leadership is committed to war. Either they’re about to go on the offensive, or they believe they’re under threat of an imminent attack or invasion.

If Tubby announces mobilization of the reserves and orders them to report for duty, trouble’s coming.

It could well be a big bluff, and so far, he’s playing it to the hilt - better than his father did, and much more like his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, who REALLY knew how to play geopolitical poker.

This latest round could also be nothing more that North Korea’s peculiar diplomatese dialect.

When they say, “We will destroy you puppet South regime and Yankee dog lackey of the imperialist classes!” what they’re really saying is, “Dude....I haven’t eaten in a couple of days, and I’m low on fundage; could you spot me for a couple of burritos?”

The Norkies daily bread and butter is ACTIN NUTZ. The torch was passed, and Junior has to make his bones —sssscary Embasy warrrrrnings are a major part of this act.

NOTHING is going to happen —at most some limited attack on some ship, or 2 or 3 cross-border shells, and if even that it would simply be cuz basketBum painted himself into a corner and finally had to actually DO SOMETHING.

GOTS TA GET PAIIIIIID....!!!!

If they make good and drop one a-bomb on ANY us target—all bets are off. The people will demand a nuclear reply—and a massive one. If Obama fails, a mob of angry citizens and soldiers will pull him from the White House and string him up. He will have no choice put to unload a Boomer sub’s rockers on the North— North Korea will cease to exist — Maybe China or the South will take over what is left.

Half the people in this country would be in the streets protesting against any kind of response. Why? Because it’s our fault that we got nuked. If we’d just bring all our troops home from everywhere and stop giving money to other nations, we’d all get along wonderfully.

Well, actually we do need to stop giving money away that we don’t have.
