That UN thing will bring nothing.

Currently, the sharpest weapon short of a military reaction or war (additionally to a total trading stop, and pointing all unlocked guns at them) would be - to remove all cameras and journalists from Korea, and not giving NK a single minute of TV broadcasting. Not one single headline in any newspaper. No article, no essay, no commenting. Not even a single three-liner on the last page of any regional paper nobody ever has heared of. No official reaction. No nothing. No strong speeches from the south, no official comment, no secret negotiations going on behind the diplomatic stage. NOTHING. Strangling their propaganda completely that way, making it simply disappearing from everybody's radar screen outside NK's borders. Let people do not realise that NK even does exist. Let it's hatefilled verbal sermons just puff out in a completly silent empty void. So that people not only ignore NK - but even do not know anymore that it is there. Do not even pay any attention at all to relief funds and NGOs and aid organsiations wanting to bring NK back to the mind of the world - silence these as well, so that nothing, nothing relates, reminds, points, refers to NK at all.

And blow everything up that moves beyond the border, of course. And in case of such incidents - not giving them any attention in public and media as well.

BTW, that would be my best advise for dealing with the Israeli-Palestine conflict as well: withdraw all, really all foreign NGOs and foreign relief organisations and all reporters and media as well (both the pro-Israeli and the pro-palestinian media), completely, totally ignore the place and issue alltogether, refusing to pay even one second of attention to it all (and I aim this at both sides).

We all get manipulated on several levels when paying attention to these things in the media. But neither must we like it, nor must we cooperate with the intention behind the manipulation. We can reject it. By right our attention-paying - we actively help to keep many of such conflicts alive, and assist many rogues to stay in power.
