China, N. Korea: Global Texas Hold'Em

USA deals.

China takes care of North Korea.

USA gets off China's arse regarding Taiwan.

What a hand.

I'm bluffing -- but what to do about North Korea?

Here's a plan: Air drop iPods and Blackberries -- and food -- over North Korea.

Full bellies and actual information from the outside world would work wonders. North Koreans could topple their own lunatic tyrant.

Read an interesting article on Taiwan in comparison to our own pre-Revolution colonies, from www.tripmastermonkey.com.

Read an article on China's response to North Korea, from the Hindustan Times.

We tried that shit in Iraq back during the first Bush presidency, and it just got people killed.
 
The North Koreans have never known anything but North Korea. They have no frame of reference for any kind of revolution, revolt, or coups. Even if they were "liberated" tommarrow, a interim "dictatorship" would have to be established to give them time to move from the 16th century to the 21st.
Freeing them outright would only give another tyrant a chance to enslave them.
The United States shows not enough sophistication in such matters as to be helpfull here.
 
Dropping iPods and Blackberries, and food. That's my solution. The VCR helped work wonders in Eastern Europe -- but, then, there were people alive who knew another way.

It's not the USA's job to lead everyone out of tyranny. But when they start lobbin' missiles our way ... I am always for diplomacy. But it's like the U.S. -- Quakers as well as the Army -- meeting the Lakotas.

And if Sitting Bull was trying to get the bomb, well, ...
 
ipods and food?! i LOVE that plan!

here's what i said about the launch over at red tory's blog:

"you mean, it wasn't whacked by us missiles while still on the launch pad? but what about the chimp's resolve to preemptively strike those "axis of evil" nations who present a threat to our security?

wmd? remember, chimp?"

the chimp's excuses for his wrong-headed invassion of iraq have just gotten that much flimsier....

Jee KEv, you think Bonzo would really risk an attempt at shooting down the North Korean missile? Remember our proportional score on hits with this anti-missile-shoot-down-system is four in five and that is with the target missle giveing off a locator beacon. I don't think North Korea would put a locator beacon on their missile for us. So it was all "Talk" anyway. What's pathetic is that the "news" media reported it like they (the administration) could actually do it and never asked if they could. We not only have a Chimp in the White House but Bobby and Babbet Baboon on the Boob-tube interpreting what he does.
