They want something (from the South but probably more specifically from USA). It may well be a tantrum. Conveniently two or three days before appeaser Obama arrives.

I think they are using the stick.

Right. Chia Head turned one of his aging navy boats into a Swiss cheese to make this little point. A pathetic loser.

The agency says that a South Korean warship fired a shot at a North Korean vessel which crossed the demarcation line off their western coast.

Very conveniently. NK creates an incident "defending" bogus and unrecognized claims to "territorial waters." The O-bot floats in on his magick carpit to "make peace," usually meaning posing for a glorious photo-op while the parties engage in "compromise." As usual in all compromises with evil, that means SK loses something.

The O-bot claims victory as the great peacemaker, NK gets a distraction as cover for its nuke program, and everybody is happy, except of course our lone ally in the picture.

The O-bot should send a thank you note to "The Il One" for making him look good.

Japan take note: Unless you gleefully sop up a lot more worthless US bonds than the Chinese, you are expendable.

We have a willfully destructive chump in the White House.

They are always doing something like this. Nothing new.

"I think they are using the stick."

I believe that to be the case, also. I appreciate your input.

I have a question for you. Why is the US so concentrated on Iran's possible nuclear weapons capabilities and ignoring North Korea's nukes? I don't get it.
