“Everyone wants to rush off to war, well not personally, they pay soldiers to bleed and die on their behalf. “

What she said was correct. Liberals always claim they hate war and they spit on soldiers but they are the first to demand use of military force to enforce their ways.

A free united Korean Peninsula will hopefully be the final outcome

I’m with you in spirit, but its never going to happen. China will never allow it. They want a buffer zone run by a state that they control. They cannot control freedom.

There is only one major railroad running North to South in North Korea which was built by the Japanese during WW2 and is it reportedly in poor condition by first world standards. Freight and passages traffic is often completely sidelined for military transport or Kim’s personal travel. Kim (like Hitler) never keeps to a predetermined schedule for security reasons, so the delays are often lengthy.

With that and potential war looming there might be a lot of profiteering in the transportation of materials and supplies for those with access to vehicles.

Other than the super elite, the only access to vehicles is for an upper management employee to register a through the institution they work for.they work and this is costly initially and on an ongoing basis.

Where does North Korea get its gasoline?

China? Then maybe the ChiComs are tightening the screws on Kim.

Fine by me. Keep it up.
