US and China discuss North Korea contingency plan

Washington and Beijing are discussing potential courses of action should the North Korea regime implode and have previously come up with contingency plans before Kim Jong-il's death.

Washington and Beijing discussed possible scenarios in North Korea when it appeared that Kim Jong-il was close to death it is believe they are again discussing potential courses of action should the present regime implode.

In a recent report by the US Congressional Research Service, Kurt Campbell, the then assistant secretary of state, confirmed that the US and China were examining "every aspect" of possible scenarios in North Korea in 2009.

The discussions - which would have considered potential unrest should Kim not have an heir in place to continue the family dynasty - were kept secret at China's request because of Beijing's close ties with Pyongyang.

A definite possibility we should prepare for. 1) Bring saws to cut down those statues-a la saddam. Make the ‘criers’ watch. 2) Find out who the Lieutenants are and produce another deck of cards. 3) Parachute pallets of freeze-dried foods to the locals-keeps them where they are. Paint American flags on them. 4) Hang all the military Generals and promote lower ranked junior officers who buy into the new program. 5) Empty their Gulag and replace the prisoners with American scum.

Kim Jong Un (aka "Chia Chub") has been putting on considerable weight.

I think he already has diabetes, but is engaging in the same bad habits as Pa, ie. drinking alcohol and eating richly.

I saw evidence re: this fat bastard day before yesterday on Pyongyang TV, "inspecting the troops, on the spot guidance". Might be trying to get him up to Kim Il Sung class wrestling weight class. Without sanctions, Burger King could do a good business up there perhaps, feeding the fat pig.
