Does no one remember the 'Mouse That Roared'?
What is the NK situation right now? Starving population, totally dependent on an unreliable neighbor for money/food/everything; complete suppression of original thought so no chance of a creative solution internally; etc.
A casual read of Americas involvement in wars will show anyone that once we drop a bomb or shoot some bullets and the adversary surrenders America goes all gooey and wants to rebuild and help out to right the 'wrong' of war.
Any benefit here for NK to provoke an armed response? Free lunch for life, anyone?
Just say'n
Yes, I mentioned “The Mouse That Roared” as well, and it makes more and more sense.
Good points.
NK economically is doing much better lately. They ship a lot of labor to Chinese factories in Manchuria that are essentially slaves. Most of their wages get sent to the Chinese embassy in Pyongyang and handed over to the NK government.
The government then takes most of the money and sends about 20% to the workers’ families.
Next time you go to a $ store, made in China could be made by NK slave labor.
NK is also sending the same bonded labor to a number of other countries to get foreign currency.
Well, for worse or better by worldly standards, that is a Christian ideal.
Maybe Kim really is saying “Blow me down and pick me up.”
