North Korean uniforms have been laughed at since the Korean War 1950-53. During the initial armistice talks at Panmunjom, U.S. personnel watched Red Chinese officers in their quilted Mao jackets laughing up their sleeves at the strutting Norks in their Stalin inspired finery. The Chicoms were especially amused by the “coffee can” hats worn by the Norks.
A Soviet fashion that persists to this day is the size of one’s “flying saucer” hat. The more rank, the wider the saucer part until a senior general’s hat looks ready to take wing & carry him away.
The photo of Norkie generals with so many badges that they cover their sleeves with them is a real hoot.
Anyway, these guys know that only the military in North Korea gets enough to eat, and their perks & privileges depend upon their going on living to enjoy them. Even Kim Jong Fatso wants to know where his next meal is coming from.
But if the Norkies want to throw it all away, then bring it. Unfortunately, the utter smashing of the North Korean armed forces will be instantly followed by something even worse than military invasion: millions of starving North Korean civilians streaming across the DMZ in search of food.
Why don’t the Norks use THAT as a threat???
Just how long would it take our AF to bomb NK “back to the Stone Age?”
Wait, they are back in the Stone Age.
Heard some guy saying from CSIS:
70% of N.Koreas Military is on or about the DMZ.
25% of the children are malnourished.
2/3rds of the entire population do not know where their next meal is coming from..if at all.
I realize these figures “drift from month to month...but I’m ‘beginning’ to think the vested nations are simply tired of dealing with the North and want it resolved.....regardless how it goes down. And I think those meeting next week are going to be looking at this differently then in previous years.
