"in order to mantain the peace in the region the (no NK allys) will avoid further military practice (or whatever make NK angry) for the sake of humanity..." then NK leaders, Kim Jong Un and the military, will say to their people that the empire surrender to their power and enforce their leadership for 100 years | ||

I really don't think we're the ones to use those words. I think it actually takes away from our humanity that we as a race have allowed over 20 million people to live for several decades under an oppressive regime that fails to provide them with the food they need so that they are several inches shorter, on average, than their genetically similar brothers to the south and regularly have huge famines that kill off a part of the population. It takes away from our humanity that we as a race, after having seen the terrors of concentration camps, have allowed similar concentration camps to exist for decades in that country, knowing full well the horrors that go on there. It takes away from our humanity that for the sake of our petty geopolitical quarrels, the situation has remained unchanged and no real progress has been made for decades. If the North Korean population knew just how short the straw that's been pulled for them is, and if they knew how well off almost all of the rest of the world is in comparison, then they could say that they starve, get tortured and die for the sake of the rest of humanity. But if it were truly for the sake of our humanity as a whole, we'd have put aside our differences and made an end to the Kim regime long ago. Regrettably, it's all too human to let others suffer so that we can be better off, but that's not "for the sake of humanity", that's "for the sake of myself", and that's what the UN could say: "For the sake of us rich and lucky guys, let the Kims commit all sort of atrocities uninterrupted, so that we don't have to get involved". | ||

It's quite bad overall among the ranks of the "glorious leaders" in NK. at least 3 high generals who shares the overall command of the NK army has mysteriously vanished or died the over the past 5 months. | ||

Brazilian embassy received the same thing. They say the embassies who intend on removing their diplomats from NK should send a communication until April 10th. Not sure what happens after that date. | ||

Largely untested missiles going up against tested US/SK missile defense systems. Imagine it gets intercepted: SK/US get their bombing campaign, NK loses its last deterrent and faces humiliation at home after decades of military first and nothing to show for it. Agreed. This is what I think will happen. They just don't have any real way to threaten us and have us take it seriously. | ||

I don't think they'd be afraid to fire everything they have as last resort at the South and probably even their own soil . Thats something nobody would want especially the ally's around North Korea. Not to mention China thats already less than pleased with whats transpiring with NK . | ||

They've been doing tests for a few years but their reactor has been shut down for the last 3. It seems unlikely to me that they'd have any sort of stockpile but thats nothing more than wild speculation apparently enough for 12 warheads using uranium rather than plutonium | ||

It's a movie from a german movie maker camp 14 total control zone . It's not released on DVD yet and was only shown in a few selected cinemas a few months ago but there's trailer and other stuff about this and him. The movie also includes interviews with 2 of the wardens from these kinds of camps. Pretty extreme stuff. | ||
