I guess Kim’s not ronery any more.
Looks like he’s following Obama’s playbook, cause as much unemployment and pain for the little people to get his way. With Obama it was the sequestor (need money to give to poor starving people)and with Kim it’s the same thing.
“Hey Kim. This is you Comrade in the revolution Barack. I know you are new and need to show the world you are tough, I also could use a minor conflict to shore up my Commander in Chief cred. Need to start thinking “legacy” you know! So I have a plan. You start a bunch of threats and rabble rousing, which will culminate in you sinking a South Korean ship or firing a few shells on to one of our bases. Then I’ll fire some cruises missiles at one of your abandoned bases...oh you’ll make sure some political dissidents are at those bases, great killing two birds with one stone, I like it! Lol! Wish I could do that with the conservatives in this country! Then we will both go on TV with our respective compliant state run medias and take credit for a grand victory. It’s a win-win!”
This action, more so than any of the rhetoric from ‘lil Kim, is troubling. I’ve long thought that when the move is made to shut down this industrial region, it will be the true sign on imminent action. This is not going to end well.
Contrary to what a lot of people choose to make light of and joke about, DPRK can cause substantial problems in the region. The conventional armaments and biological / chemical munitions possessed by DPRK is on a scale that is not something to make light of.
Just in case we needed any more evidence that CNN was run by simpletons.

Don’t forget about diverting our attention from the economy, Benghazi, gun control etc. Rodman, the go-between did what he was told to do. Who would suspect a moron envoy passing info from obama to Lil Kim.
And please do me this favor, my Comrade... make sure they're dressed in military uniforms, so I can gain the credit I need to be seen as the Great Leader (oops.. strike that, your esteemed and beloved grandfather owns that one).. Glorious Leader that I believe I am.
In shared revolutionary fervor, Comrade Barack
And since they're still trading with their neighbors Communist China, this should get real interesting...
One thing I do know, is this government knows attempting to draft hundreds of thousands of Americans to run off to protect Japan, South Korea and or Taiwan in some ground war in Asia, ain't going to happen.
Just 3 years ago, the South Koreans had to pull their warship from the bottom of the ocean, after it was sunk by a north Korean submarine.
Those are some truly funky chapeaux on the clappers.
“they’re just bluffing, they don’t have the guts to fire anything.”
Your probably right, but what if NK launchs something that doesn’t go very far and the ChiComs or other evil outfit DOES launch something a few seconds later that DOES make it to some large population area and kills bigtime.
Our media may very well say it was launched from NK regardless of the source or the truth. Only those in the military will know the truth most likely.
they're just bluffing, they don't have the guts to fire anything.
3 years ago, raised from the bottom of the ocean, a South Korean 15,000 ton warship sunk by a North Korean submarine.
True dat.

I saw that too, and thought the same thing. I'm surprised the author didn't mention Kim Jong Un's "dope" weapons.
They are trading with PRC, yes, but there is a growing rift in that relationship. The new leadership in China is frustrated by the petulant behavior of Kim. China is massing troops at its border with DPRK, not to support them, but rather to stem the flow of refugees and to seal the border when hostilities commence. PRC cannot and will not deal with the mass influx of peasants fleeing DPRK - contrary to wide belief, they have enough internal problems to deal with.
What strikes me as odd, however, is the current timing. I would not put it past China to test the waters with the U.S. and the incompetence of our current leaders (Hagel, Obama, Kerry, et al) - China has the most to gain here by expanding their ring of influence and getting rid of Mao’s unresolved issue.
