Well if our region is capable of standing up on our own two
feet.. without the need to destroy each other..Who cares about
economic sanctions ?
I thought already stood up?
I think you exposed to too much USA mainstream propaganda.
Even the USA now come and beg China to keep buying U.S.
bonds.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is in China today, doing
whatever it takes–no matter how shameless and
sordid– to make sure that the Chinese don’t pull out of American
bonds, which are tanking in value thanks to
Geithner’s multi-trillion-dollar gift to Wall Street. The Chinese
are not happy, and since the Chinese loaned
America all the money it’s now blowing, they call the
shots.
The Tim Geithner lifting ass today in China sounds a lot
different from the Tim Geithner who recently played the role of
alpha Chinaman Dominator when he was trying to impress the wannabe
macho men in Congress...

USA can't even handle a small state like DPRK, how to handle
China?
Not bad this DPRK, teach the USA a lesson, like to invade other
people's country.
Good Kim Jong Il.
Very good.
A lot of states are afraid of the USA, but you Kim Jong Il USA
is secretly afraid of you. But they can't do anything about it.
So they hurl abuse at you everyday.
For one year, from September
of 1989 to September of 1990, I served in a high level intelligence
unit in South Korea called CSCT #1, or Combat Support Coordination
Team #1. Its mission was to act as a liaison unit between the US
8th Army and the South Korean 1st Army. What I learned while there,
from both classified and private sources, helps illustrate why a
war with Iraq is clearly not about the threat of Saddam Hussein and
weapons of mass destruction.
Before I was sent to my unit
I received a
classified briefing at Ft. Huachuca, Arizona that
was attended by all US Army personnel who had received similar
orders. Everyone there was informed of how grave the situation was
in South Korea. Riots, tear gas, and low level combat were all
possible. We were advised by one speaker to hope and pray that we
didn't receive orders for the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) because,
on average, about
eight American soldiers were killed there every year by North
Korean forces by sniper fire or in small
skirmishes.
Eight soldiers a year might
sound like a low number. But the important thing to note is that
this information, at least to my knowledge, has never been made
public before. The majority of soldiers who
were killed by North Korean forces were almost assuredly never
recognized for their ultimate sacrifice. In other
words, there could be approximately 400 families out there, and
perhaps more, who were never told that their son or daughter was
killed in combat. Most likely, they were told that they were swept
away in a flooded river or died by accident when a grenade or some
other weapon malfunctioned.
Multiple incidents, some
publicly known and others never before revealed, validate the eight
soldiers a year estimate.
In 1968, for example, one US
sailor from the captured USS Pueblo died (and may have been killed)
while in custody of the North Koreans. In 1976 two soldiers were
brutally killed with axes when they attempted to remove a tree that
was obstructing the vision of UN soldiers on the DMZ. In another
incident in 1984, one South Korean and three North Korean soldiers
were killed in a gun battle when a Soviet translator attempted to
defect by crossing the DMZ into South Korea. All three of these
incidents, among numerous others, are widely known, including the
axe murders which were captured on film by the US Army.
Far more astonishing are the
events about which the public was never told. These incidents are
particularly revealing as to how much effort the US has put into
avoiding going to full scale war since 1953.
For example, it's estimated
that North Korea has dug approximately 20 tunnels under the DMZ
into South Korea. These are invasion routes, two for every North
Korean combat infantry division along the border. In the late winter of 1990,
the same year that Iraq invaded Kuwait, one of these tunnels was
discovered by the US Army. This was the fourth such
tunnel that had been found since the beginning of the 1953
ceasefire. The official story offered by the US military at the
time was that only a few bomb sniffing dogs were killed by
mines.
However, a soldier I knew
who served in the unit which went down into the tunnel told me a
far different story. According to this man, US and
South Korean forces were confronted by an entire North Korean
company under the DMZ on the South Korean side.
What ensued was a firefight which resulted in the deaths of more
than 50 North Koreans as well as a half dozen or so American
soldiers. That same year, approximately two months after this
skirmish, it was announced that North Korea was finally releasing
the remains of several soldiers who had been killed during the
Korean War. According to my source, the North Koreans did this in
exchange for the bodies of all the men who were killed in the
invasion tunnel months earlier.
Another incident was
recently revealed to me at an anti-war presentation I was giving
where I met a man who served in the US Army in the early 1960s and
was stationed in South Korea on the DMZ. According to this man, one
of his buddies was killed by sniper fire while he was driving his
Jeep. The man's parents were told that he died when his vehicle
overturned on a slippery road. The casket, as is likely common in
deaths such as this, was sent home sealed according to my
source.
These public and hidden
events fit into a long history of hostility between North Korea and
the United States. Despite what the White House has stated, under
both Republican and Democratic presidents, North Korea has always
been militarily a far greater threat than Iraq. They have had more
soldiers under arms, have been committed to using those soldiers in
combat against South Korean and US soldiers for the past 50 years,
and have been controlled by an extreme and brutal isolationist,
Stalinist-style Communist regime that is responsible for hundreds
of thousands of civilian deaths. If we added up the numbers, the
North Korean government is responsible for far more deaths than
Saddam Hussein.
There has been much
controversy about the recent admission by North Korea that they
have nuclear weapons. However, in 1989 and 1990 US Army
Intelligence believed that they already had developed such weapons.
Around mid-1990 I also read an official ranking of military powers
across the globe. At that time President Bush Sr. stated that Iraq
had the "fourth largest" force in the world. However, classified US Army analysis indicated that
Iraq wasn't even in the top ten in
terms of strength - but North
Korea was. The Army had concluded even then,
when Iraq had a far stronger military than it does now, that North
Korea was a more powerful enemy. In other words, North Korea
is, and has been for many years, the threat that the US government
has been making Iraq out to be. Furthermore, while
Saddam Hussein was our ally in the Middle East for many years,
North Korea has always been our enemy - an enemy that's been
killing our soldiers and threatening invasion of South Korea for 50
years...

You are the real power that no U.S leader would dare to
touch.
Iraq this type of state with weak army, they dare to make noise,
they dare to attack.
But YOU ARE
THE REAL THREAT. You are THE REAL MILITARY
POWER.
They don't dare.
They diam diam.
Because they cannot touch you, they cannot attack you, they can
only launch propaganda attacks against you.
Turn public opinion against you.
But I understand Kim Jong Il.
I understand.
That is why you will always have my support.
