Some of y'all might actually want to do a bit of looking into the who and what of NK puppet mastering.

The NK was created by the USSR.
The USSR equipped, trained, organized the NK forces and lead them in the Korean War.
The NK system is based on an exaggerated Stalinist system.
The NK has never had any love for either China or Maoism.
The NK was a wholly owned subsidiary of the USSR up until the "fall of the wall".

Now, some may want to keep following along that rosy path that says because "communism was defeated" in the old USSR that Russia is now all civilized but that's pure, unadulterated, unprocessed manure.

Russia is as dangerous today as it has ever been. They may not have access to all the nukes they would never have used anyway, nor the deep ranks of tanks and artillery they couldn't supply well enough to have fielded in force anyway, but they are still waging war against "the west" by the very same proxies they've always used.

Ever wonder why this NK issue is so freekin similar to the "Cuban crisis"?

Same play-book is being used, so why shouldn't it be so similar in appearance and motivation?

Kim Il Sung always had his own agenda for Korea. He was very capable, dashing, and an enthusiastic leader. He was also ambitious, ruthless, and meglomaniacal. Even his own son, Kim Jong Il, would never dare dent his father's overwhelming domination of North Korea.



From Answers.com - Before Kim's death in 1994, he arranged for power to pass to his son, Kim Jong-il. In 1998 the younger Kim gave his father the posthumous title of "eternal president."

Ironic, but the Lord's Pray, "Our Father, who art in Heaven..." would work well under the radar in North Korea.
