"Field Trip to the DMZ"

ROKDrop and One Free Korea have this PBS video up. I thought I'd psot it here.



Shouting for their mothers was the saddest.

More Usless North Korean Threats

The problem here is that some people don't seem to understand that weaker countries and people who lose elections don't get to set the terms.

First, is the GOP and Rush Limbaugh (which I don't need to talk about as it's been all over US news)and second is North Korea.

A day after warning Washington against launching military exercises on South Korean soil, North Korea focused its rhetoric Thursday on its neighbor and warned of "powerful" retaliation if Seoul goes ahead with joint drills next week.

The U.S. and South Korean militaries are slated to begin 12 days of exercises at sites across South Korea on Monday — a joint annual effort the allies call routine defensive drills but that the North has condemned as preparations for an attack.


I understand that douche bags like Roh Moo-hyun and Kim Dae-jung allowed Kim Jong-il to dictate ROK's penisular policies and that KJI is rightly angry that Lee Myung-bak isn't an apologist, but guess what North Korea? You're the weaker nation and you don't get to make the call. The South isn't going to invade unless provoked, so shut it.

"North Korea has deployed new ballistic" -- Big Whoop

Let the speculation begin!

North Korea recently deployed a new type of medium-range ballistic missile capable of reaching northern Australia and the U.S. territory of Guam, South Korea's Defense Ministry said Monday.
Same old, same old, but I think the writer is wrong about this one:
South Korea is the most likely target of Scuds, which have a range of up to 310 miles (500 kilometers), while Japan is the likely focus for Nodongs. The North is believed to have more than 1,000 Nodong and Scud missiles in its arsenal.
Just because the South is the closest doesn't mean it's a target. For a regime whose soul purpose is survival, a cheap shot would seriously jepordize that mission, especially with the "Bulldozer" Lee Myung "Bulldozer" at the helm.
