A Message to North Korea – Go for it!



For what seems like decades now, the country of North Korea has pursued two national policies; a nuke on every missile and crushing poverty for its rank and file citizens. The latter has been achieved with stellar success while the former is now just within reach for the languorous and overweight leader Kim Jong Un. And of the two, the US seems most appalled at the idea of this nation having a nuclear capability, even if that ability will be measured in an arsenal that would make even a country like Uzbekistan chuckle out loud. 'Oh yeah baby - missiles away - as in the sum total of only two...'

My personal take on this pseudo-country that is lead by a group of men with their heads firmly lodged in their arses, would be for them to have at it! Seriously, why should the US (or its diminishing number of allies) give a rats ass as to what North Korea does now or in the future. This poster child of dismal economic failure poses much more of a threat to its neighbors directly to the south and to the north.

China, especially, needs to pay attention to movement along its border, as resistance there would be token at best. On the other hand, South Korea would actually benefit from armed action as it might lead to re-unification of the entire peninsula. A development I would actually like to see come to pass.
