Christian Science Monitor ^ | 5/29/13 | Anna Mulrine

Anyone remember the 1955 novel & 1959 movie, “The Mouse That Roared”?

“The Duchy of Grand Fenwick decides that the only way to get out of their economic woes is to declare war on the United States, lose and accept foreign aid.”

We will just send Bill Clinton to make another lousy deal like he did before...

Clinton sent Madeleine Korbelová Albright who made the lousy deal and she sealed the deal with a toast with Kim the elder.

Oh, listen my children, a story you’ll hear.
A song I will sing you; ‘twill fill you with cheer.
A charming young maiden was wed in the Fall.
She married a man who had no b-lls at all.

No b-lls at all. No b-lls at all.
She married a man who had no b-lls at all.

It will be ugly early. About 60% of SK's population lives in range of conventional Arty right now, without moving anything.

SK has many hi-value targets from factories to poulation centers... NK, not so much.

Better to be a believer (which the North Koreans are not!) than an ignoramus!

Links, please, to support this assertion. The refugees from there say something entirely different.

Yeah, What if Un is being sly like a fox?

Could it be that he realizes that NORK is so far below human standards that the only viable option is to rattle sabers, then once attacked, fold like a $2 suitcase, before nukes are launched; thus forcing the world community to take care of him and his population???

There’s no way that NORK can climb out of their poverty and depravity within his lifetime, so fold, and let the vibrant South Korea rebuild his country.

The USSR did it with East Germany, why not in Korea????

(My wife thinks that I’m batshit, and probably so!)

There are folks here on this forum who live in Asia, study North Korea and frequently enlighten us about it. I forget their nicks at the moment, but you ought to ask them. You also need to familiarize yourself with the practices of Communist totalitarians, and how such rallies operate. In a word, they are not voluntary. In another word, punishment is severe. And finally, as one of those I mentioned told us, only the privileged supporters of the Kims are allowed to live in Pyongyang. As in every country including ours, there is always a privileged and corrupt class of supporters for the bloodiest of tyrants. To say that North Korean population supports their tyrant is absurd.
