    Yep, I read that. Apparently they've been feeding the crap to construction workers, among others, to make them work harder/faster.

    For China the main threat from North Korea is also economic. China wants to avoid chaos in North Korea because that would be bad for the Chinese economy and increase the threat of conflict with even more dangerous opponents like Japan, South Korea and the United States. The most extreme (but acceptable) measures China could try include literally taking control of North Korea, something which China has done in the distant past. Staging a coup in North

    Korea has always been a possibility but the paranoid (for good reason in this case) North Korean leadership has made it difficult for China to recruit enough North Korean officials to make this feasible. That said, the potential is still there and China could still go this route. Many North Koreans believe that the Chinese will just move in and take over if it appears that the North Korean government is about to fall apart or otherwise becoming too dangerous to China. The Chinese takeover plan apparently includes installing pro-Chinese North Koreans as head of a new "North Korean" government, and instituting the kind of economic reforms they have been urging the North Korean to undertake for over a decade. Fear of this sort of thing is apparently a major reason why Kim Jong Un had his older brother assassinated in February. The brother had frequently let it be known that he had no interest in running North Korea. China just wants a less self-destructive ruler in North Korea but there doesn’t appear to be any viable candidates.

    The Chinese do not want North Korea to merge with South Korea either. All the neighbours (especially China and South Korea) want North Korea to stay independent, and harmless. Thus China is willing to unofficially annex North Korea, knowing that the South Koreans would go along with this as long as the fiction of North Korean independence was maintained. South Korea won't admit this, but most South Koreans know that absorbing North Korea would put a big dent in South Korean living standards. That is more unpopular than any other outcome. While all Koreans would like a united Korea, far fewer are willing to pay the price.

    Russia is also massing troops on the border of North Korea
    vladivostok one of their largest bases is only 160 kms from the border.
    It might just be a lolly scamble.

    It's not just North Korea they ALL are a bunch of dirty crooked baskets
    Now ,might has right. These people are NOT ethical or even play in the same town let alone the same playing ground as u and I
    And I should know , I've been sitting here in this sand pit on me Todd for ages now
    So if might has right or has something u can use. Look at the countries that are quiet.
    Germany
    Russia
    And not just countries , what about people , organisations who gains what?
    I think America is just the puppet off some very nasty people and I think those people have some kind of weapon that does the business
    Drugs do play a major role in this
    ( Where does one get the opiums for medical use ? Synthetic? Or from abdul the afgani? )
    A lot more reading is required , A lot more
    But one thing for sure , this evvil has been with us since the dawn of time , this ain't nothing new
    The pelepelonian ( Sparta Greece)wars were over debt based money , Sparta wanting to remain on surplus based if I remember correctly). It wasn't nukes but it bankrupted Greece
    All in a day's work for the boys
    Can't remember the name of the painting but those ships Tyriens are they called , ain't cheap

    He is obviously a nut job but so far he hasn't actually ventured outside of his own fortress and harmed anybody - has he? - Compare his record with that of the USA!

    You used to be a balanced poster. (Well I am sick to death of all the bullshit war and destruction waged around the world by the USA!)

    Are you now old old old senile oldrider?
    Well probably yes to the last question but how does that equate to me supporting North Korea?

    The hypocrisy of the US is never ending - they have all the weapons of mass destruction imaginable and they are the most likely to indiscriminately use them!

    I'm sure Donald is studying up on North Korea and the previous war with them as we speak.

    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    Bet he's not. Hell I had to ask the wife which Colonel came first.
    Even as I looked at the picture of Season Ones cast.
    Poor old Henry didn't even get out of the area before his chopper was shot down and he was killed.
    Barstard bloody Nth Korean Gooks, I still hate them!
    Every day above ground is a good day!:
