Kim Jong Il Orders Military to Get Ready for Combat

[BenBurch]

Kim doesn't want a real war, he just wants his subjects to think it.

And if he opens fire on the propaganda transmitters?

I fully expect a "hot" war within the week now. This thing is going to be very, very bad.

That is statement from naive brain. You wrong. Very wrong. North Korea is mostly not big urgency in Jewish goals.

 

[BenBurch]

WTF?

I'm pretty sure it would be unconstitutional for japan to weaponise H-IIA. Equaly it seems unlikely that japan's level of spending on it's space program is really justifiable in any other context.

What about for launching satellites?

Heck, all countries' scientific space programs are somewhat unjustifiable white elephants.

Of course, Japan may have had in the back of their minds that these things could also be used as ICBMs in a pinch, although I doubt it was ever official policy, even secretly.

WTF?

Because of course The Joos are behind all wars. Duh.

 

[Pardalis]

Just report him for derailing.

Then the party is over for him. His life is much more comfortable for him personally as it is. Unless he has gone completely insane, which is entirely possible.

I do not believe that North Korea will be involved in a hot war in the next week, or the next month, or the next year.

He has a whole bunch of sabres, and they're very very rattly.

There isn't going to be a war.

Here's hoping you're right. However, if fortune-telling by Spotify is anything to go by (and who thinks it isn't?), we're screwed. Today started with "Suicide is Painless" and continued with "We will all go together when we go".

we the international community should drop tons of food in NK, so the people have enough to eat so they are fed enough to revolt.

 

[Undesired Walrus]

But then Kim would just spin a story about his powers dropping bundles of food from the heavens. They aren't sitting around waiting to revolt.

It's probably unworthy of me, but I keep thinking "Here's a hard-line Stalinist Communist state in deep, deep trouble - where's George Galloway when he's needed?"
- after all he doesn't have the distraction of being an MP any longer, and if he brokered a peace-deal ...

I'm not sure they even know what the word "revolt" means. I strongly suspect it's not in their dictionaries.

you are propably right

We need to find out how people from within the country have come to realise about how drastically their leaders lied to them. It's few reported, but a few, nonetheless.

What happened, and how can we increase this awareness?

Remember, he said he'd support the North if they went into war with the US!

 

[arthwollipot]

It would be hard. North Korea has stricter information controls than China. Or Australia.

 

[Undesired Walrus]

But does anyone have any idea what led to their awakening?
