This decree is arbitrary and impulsive, totally lacking sound rationale. It will earn Kim Jong-il more contempt among N. Korea elites. A bad move. This will have no effect on Japan, either. If he did this because he is mad at Japan, he is venting his frustration in the wrong direction.
A regime cannot function effectively if it is swayed by such an arbitary whim of its ruler.
On the other hand, such a move would not hurt us.

Sounds like a good market for the Mercedes/Dodge Sprinter Vans in N.korea.
Kim really sounds like he sould try detox maybe Britney Spears and him can team up.

Hey, the guys insane. He rules a country. He's short.
There's no logic to unravel because he's just making it up as he goes.

To even own a car in North Korea...you have to have a major status in the local community. I'm betting there are about 500 of these Japanese cars there...and half of them weren't acquired via Kim's government offices...but through some illegal pay-off. Go watch the videos of people who tour North Korea. In a 10-minute period...you might see one car travel down some main drag of town.

He probably just needs a part for his Camry. If it's an airbag he needs, all he has to do is go to the mirror.

So, is he going to pack both vehicles up and ship them back to Japan?

Fortunately for the Nork citizens there was no recall of broken down ox-carts.

and maintaining hard-line policy because of (Japanese) abductee issue.
No matter how much the media screams about NK tensions and nuclear ambitions, there are other, very serious issues to consider.
How do you negotiate with a regime that kidnaps the citizens from another country to fulfill a need or a whim of the ruler?
