I (and TLR) have been a central part of North Korean FR Threads for nearly 13 years, providing our informed insight and input from our close positions here in East Asia, very near the North Korean action (threats, troop movements, missile launches, underground nuke tests, border provocations and the like).

I just incredulously had (my) post #25 removed???!! What's wrong with FR removing my comment about North Korea, their lack of capabilities, and the other open source information I just supplied about the DPRK. (Shaking head). -AmericanInTokyo

Free speech doesn’t apply to the internet, that’s why. Doncha know?

I understand a profanity concern caused a deletion of AmericanInTokyo's post.

Is the original post by AmericanInTokyo okay to repost if he deletes the profanity?

I, for one, value news of North Korea here on Free Republic, considering that I have a number of relatives who not only are within range of the North Koreans but also would be in the South Korean military response to any North Korean aggression.

One good thing is that based on what I've seen, the South Koreans are quite capable of handling themselves regardless of what President Obama does or fails to do. If worse comes to worst and the North Koreans really do attack, even though the economy of the South will be devastated and millions of people will die, “reunification” under force of arms by Seoul might not be the worst possible outcome.

Unfortunately, that applies only if the Chinese decide they won't back the Pyongyang dynasty. If it were not for China, I would have no concern at all and would place the South Korean military in the same category as the Israelis — i.e., people **NOBODY** in the region wants to mess with.

But when you've got a billion people, like China does, certain issues of scale come into play.

Maybe the AM thought you stole secret info from the CIA or something.
