This "kid" was raised in a Communist prison with little access to the remainder of the world. He has reportedly ONE MILLION troops, nuclear weapons and funding from Communist China. China is under the boot of the RED ARMY......we (USA) have reportedly 30,000 troops in South Korea and a Naval presence well established in the Western Pacific......including a sea based ABM asset. Time is on NKs side.......we are so weakned by our entitlement society and the oil tit of the Middle East we can ill afford another war in Korea......the CHICOMS are well aware. IF not now someday the Communists in North Korea supplied by China will attack US interests. The real scary outcome IMHO is a missile making it to Honolulu with a nuclear tip......this is a real possibility. China has the smaller nuclear warheads and easily can pass them to North Korea.......after the explosion it is most difficult to tell the origion of the warhead. Korea then would of course be destroyed but maybe they really do not care........death before dishonor.

"Little access to the remainder of the world"..........just curious,then HOW does Dennis Rodman's 'visit" to the "kid" play out? I find it
incongruous,but plausible,that the visit COULD impact his view and perhaps,his actions?

Good point. You have to wonder if Kim thinks Rodman is a mainstream American. I think I'd be a little more confident if my enemies were like that freak.

He attended college in "the remainder of the world", I believe he knows a lot more about that world than you give him credit for. He may even have a beef against the 'remainder of the world" stemming from those years......just a guess, but I doubt that he was a real popular guy.

There is the face thing but I doubt the guy will use nukes or launch a significant attack. Just enough to show he is dangerous. Like when they shelled that South Korean island.

I'm still kinda on the fence, but I was discussing this with some friends last night. He'll probably get right to the point of launching a strike and the UN will cave to whatever he wants. Either that or he'll start some sh**. Honestly I have no problem preemptively striking NK or send in some Black Ops and take out all the key leaders, but I'm extreme. Why let little Kim play around with daddies shotgun?

Then Korea could be unified? Although I'm not much for government interference, we're already in deep in the South.

When I was in Mexico a few months ago, they had that same song in Spanish, pretty funny.

Sorry, I had to..... Take it as a joke people.
