nope, i don’t agree with the article.
“U.S. policy for dealing with the North Korean situation is inadequate because it focuses on North Korea in isolation as a rogue state, and naively seeks help from the Russians and Chinese to solve the problem. The North Korea situation and any future nuclear incident, wherever it occurs, must be seen against the background of Sino-Soviet ‘convergence’ strategy: the interaction of Russian and Chinese policy and the moves they make to derive strategic gains from critical situations should be closely studied.” — KGB Defector Major Anatoliy Golitsyn, “The Perestroika Deception”, March 1989, p. 46.
Today Michael Ledeen wrote something similar, that he is afraid that this is a distraction of sorts, to make us focus on N Korea. At such times, he advises, it would be well to look at the NORK’s allies, and see who stands to gain what.
This is absolutely ridiculous and the assumptions are flawed on many levels.
Exactly. Add to that that China forty years ago was very similar to North Korea - today they are very similar to South Korea, if not more advanced in some ways. They have moved on to a big corporate role and left their ugly little brother behind in the Communist orphanage. :)
If the Chinese are telling the Norks that dumBO will surrender to them, they have a point.
Now 2 Nork subs are unaccounted for.

You may be correct.
Could you elaborate a bit?
How do you say THRESHER in Korean?
