"You know who I really wanna stab in the face?"

Postby Evil Jim » 19 Dec 2011, 01:14

Kim Jong Il dies at 69

Is it strange that the first thing I thought of when I heard the news was Crapshots 30: The Hive?

I really hope this is a turn for the better for the country but of course, it's too early to tell. Speculation anyone?

I suspect its going to be worse for a year or two while his son rattles his saber, then diplomacy will prevail and he will realise he likes pizza and ipods and relations slowly build. 6 years the korean war officialy ends.

It doesn't look like his son will be leader for a while.

I guess it all comes down to just who will be leader - whether his son will assume the position immediately or if someone just as bad (or worse) will take it up til he's able to.

And now there's an excuse to go full rambo and "Liberate" Korea. like they "Liberated" Iraq. I was talking about this not too long ago with a guy in my course, the simple fact is, war is all America knows, it's simply instinct now. As soon as someone in Korea says or does something stupid America will go running in guns ablaze and cause another global fuck-up.

And yes I am aware you're in the American millitary, and I have nothing against you, but your government is run by morons in a time where people are finally starting to realise that they have no idea what they're doing. They need something big and flashy to distract everyone before things go from protest to revolution, and they are going to look at 9/11, and the start of the war in Iraq and think "Shit, everyone supported tht at the start, they should support this too!" not realising that doing such will make it worse.

Now I really should try and avoid bringing my politics into random threads...

Random thread? If anything, this one is a little apropos for politics, so well done.

And to be honest, I think you'll find you're hardly alone with the "Quick! Let's start a foreign war to keep the People's attention off of how badly we're governing domestically!" theory; my Inner Cynic™ wants to subscribe to your newsletter. :)

Ultimately, MY conjecture is gonna be "the more things change, the more they stay the same." At best there's gonna be a slight increase in detente between NKor and...the REST of the fucking world, and maybe in another generation or two and a handful of gradually more reasonable leaders, peace is declared, and it relaxes its borders and interacts with other nations more.

*pfft* Kim Jong Il isn't dead. He just abandoned his current host body so he could get into his rocketship and go back to Cockroach Planet, where he'll be biding his time and growing in power.

Clearly.

I disagree, we have thousands of troops in S. Korea, and over the past two years N. Korea has repeatedly antaganised the south, from the naval engaugement to artillery strikes. If someone was just waiting for a reason its been there. (forgive spelling im posting from my phone)


Further on the subject of iraq it should be noted that in addition to us troops there was a sizable contingient of U.K. New zeland, and austrialian troops amung others.

Lets leave the Iraq war out of this, as it's not particularly germane to the discussion at hand.

Actually, Empath, were a government to invade N. Korea in an effort to distract from how poorly they're governing, I would think it would be Canada.

I certainly hope not, as my brother-in-law is still in Afghanistan, but, you know. Jokes and such.

No no no, I'm in thrall of your sophisticated analysis of American foreign policy.

Except that this is a thread about North Korea. And, upon closer inspection, your idea of how American foreign policy works sounds alot more like how North Koreas does.

I hear the state news media's reports are a cover-up for SuperGraham having actually succeeded at stabbing him in the face. So hard that he died, in fact.

Well... he leaves some big shoes to fill.

Wait, actually, no, he doesn't. He leaves some almost comically small shoes to fill.

Hmmm... oh!

He leaves some big, tinted glasses to fill.

@bard
Explain to me first how you could possibly make money from such an invasion. It's a country full of decrepit soldery and starving folks. With China sitting next to it.
There's no money and no point in this.

In North Korea? They probably say

Our Dear Leaders feet are small enough to kick through the holes of the Western Imperialist cowardly armor. All feet should conform to the glorious standard of our leaders and anyone with large feet should be reported, as they've clearly been getting more than their proscribed rations to grow to that size. Now can I please see my family?
