    Looks like Jr is trying to show the world that he's not just a chubby cheeked little puch over.

    The North Korea saga just isn't going to end well. They have the potential to decimate South Korea and when they do launch an attack, the retaliation will be brutal. I'm just wondering when all of this is going to happen...

    IMO China has to be the one to stop NK, if NK strikes militarily then even more so.

    They are not going to attack South Korea. They have zero offensive capability and would be mopped up after killing a lot of people for nothing. They know this. All of this is just to try and have some relevance/leverage in the world, and to make sure that no one can ever invade them.

    You may get your wish according to this article from the populist Global Times with ties to the new administration in China. http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/760434.shtml.

    South Korea unveils missile it says can hit North's leaders

    South Korea unveiled a cruise missile on Thursday that it said can hit the office of North Korea's leaders, trying to address concerns that it is technologically behind its unpredictable rival which this week conducted its third nuclear test.

    South Korean officials declined to say the exact range of the missile but said it could hit targets anywhere in North Korea.

    The Defence Ministry released video footage of the missiles being launched from destroyers and submarines striking mock targets. The weapon was previewed in April last year and officials said deployment was now complete.

    "The cruise missile being unveiled today is a precision-guided weapon that can identify and strike the window of the office of North Korea's leadership," ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said told reporters.

    North Korean Women Encouraged to Choose from 18 Official Hairstyles, Men Get 10

    Men and women in North Korea may not be able to cut their hair in trendy, new styles, as the country has launched a campaign allowing women to choose from 18 different “officially sanctioned” hairstyles, while men get to choose from just 10.

    It was sparked by communist officials wanting to forbid western influences.

    Can someone explain to a politically uneducated person like myself, the reason why NK hates America so much, if there is even any logic behind it ?
    It's not like much of the rest of Asia and Middle East, that hates us for religious-related reasons.
    If I had to guess, I'd say it's because we support South Korea ?

    Cold War, capitalism vs communism, sanctions and of course we're the sole reason they're North Korea and not Korea Korea. They damn near conquered the south and united the entire Korean peninsula under their rule (even with us there) but we stopped them and drove them back. Then we nearly united the peninsula, until China stepped in and we got the two Korea's you see today. That whole Korean War thing. And with life so ****ty there, they tell their people it's our fault.

    As I sad in another response.. this is first year Basic Oppression and Propaganda 101.
    How To Control a Population.
    Rule 1. Create a common enemy.
    Rule 2. Blame them for ALL of your problems.
    Rule 3. convince the people that only the regime is strong enough to keep the enemy at bay.


    Make the people fear them more than they do you.

    Why are you hungry?
    Because the Americans poisoned our soil and prevents food shipments.
    Why are you cold?
    because the Americans destroy our ability to make heat and electricity.

    How did they do it?

    Who asked that? shoot them immediately! Shoot their entire family, for it's obvious they're sympathizers and subversives.
    Do you want to be shot? Then blame the Americans for what happened to your neighbor who questioned the wisdom of the Divine Leader.

    You know every time they launch a missile, whether it works or not, they tell their people it was launched to defend them from an act of aggression from us, and it was gloriously successful.
    A few years ago it came out that they had ordered a schoolbook supply of "the Diary of Anne frank" with the Nazis changed to Brits and Americans.

    They hate us because they're told to. And the regime hates us because they need to.. without that friction they begin to lose that grip of fear they've created in their people about us.
    And without fear, oppressed people soon revolt.

    So, basically the same thing that's going on in this country, only a bit more intense, huh ?
