Does this guy think he is playing a game of Risk? At all seems to be a game to Ryong.

It's my thought the new Kim in charge over there is just trying to assert his greatness to his subjects. In other words, i think its more saber rattleling, and more brinksmanship (something the DPRK can probably write a best selling book on), in order to assert and establish himself as a great leader, rather then live in the shadow of his father. Once he's established his greatness, and gets what he wants from the UN et all, he'll probably crawl back in his palace and occupy himself with booze and broads.

Oh, I thought this thread was going to be about you sticking a fork in an eletrical outlet.

NK are suffering from a total lack of credibility in the eyes of the world and I believe China can be included.

The next round of financial constraints will probably impact mostly on the civilian population and that is the only thing that bothers me.

He did that when he came to power. He continues the charade. The problem is he is stating things that might just get his arse in a sling.

I agree. However, credibility, IMO, is not obtained by idle threats.

Of that there is no doubt but I'm still hoping the tantrums doesn't escalate into something that triggers military action in the region.

You have found the word for it Jim, tantrums. This is how I see the guy. He is like a little kid waiting to "show you".

Herr-Berbunch · 02-19-13, 02:46 PM

South Korea are erratic.

I wonder when the DPRK will resort to Soylent Green, if it hasn't already. Population control and food products in one tasty package, and it can be sold as doing your bit to fight against the Imperialists!

The average DPRK citizen wouldn't know the difference...

If they do, they WILL loose. I think they know this as well as we do. Sure they have a large army, but it's far behind the curve in terms of modern technology.

On a side note, if they were to start a war via offensive action, id expect it in winter when the rice fields are frozen over. Makes it easier to roll tanks through. Last I checked, the ROK has only 3 major expressways, and they all run north to south. That would create quite the bottleneck.

Well let us hope they have the technology to create 'anti-freeze' for their armour

They're getting tiresome. I wish they'd either crap or get off the pot.
