North Korea declares war!

North Korea's young leader Kim Jong Un’s war rhetoric has going ballistic, in recent weeks, with him now declaring that both the North and South are in a ‘state of war’!

While neither the United States nor South Korea are taking Kim very seriously, they are somewhat worried that Kim Jong Un may be painting himself so far into a corner that he might feel compelled to act in order to save face. The problem is, even South Korea acting along could clean the North’s clock were a war to break out.

I have to wonder if there is anyone in leadership ability on that side of this divided country that is not a complete dingbat? And, do any of the citizens of this beleaguered country know that ‘war could break out at any moment’? I suspect not. I also suspect that about the best thing that could happen would be for Kim to actually make a misstep that would result in the complete and utter annihilation of his government. Perhaps then, more responsible (sane) people could step in, make steps toward a more democratic regime and then join with the South in a relationship that would be advantageous to both!

On such a day, the thin, sad and hungry faces of the North could then begin to look a little more like the round, jovial and well fed faces of the South!
