North Korea renders armistice null and void,cuts S.K Hotline

[The Mighty Warrior Horse]

There's been a distinctive lack of substantive analysis in this thread.

Agreed, but this happens,what,MONTHLY?

[Arglorand]

....What if Dokuritsu was Kimmy O:

Good God. It all makes sense now...

NationStates, your greatest goal has been achieved.

You have created an international incident.

[Rubiconic Crossings V2 rev 1f]

Iphone or Anrdoids?

Yeah, if they actually did that, we'd see a lot of carpal tunnel starting to pop up in N.K, but yeah Democracy as well.

This is exactly what's going to happen during the 2nd Korean War:

yeah not too sure about that...once again China will be involved and this time both sides plus the Norks have nukes...don't see a nuclear option but do see another stalemate...cannot see the US committing to another war that would require far more commitment than Iraq and Afghanistan combines...

[Gauthier]

I wonder where whats his name,Dokursto nippon(or something), our residential Glorious free supporter of Best Korea is, i thought he would be all over this thread by now.

He's banned.

When did he get banned?

[New Panti]

I searched this on Google and found a CNN article saying they were threatening to end the armistice. This by no means has happened yet, at least.

[Rubiconic Crossings V2 rev 1f]

Great minds and all that.

Re China...I think he's also trying to see how far he can go...he's not really all that concerned about the US nor the ROK...The UN sanctions are just a part of the game he's getting used to playing...all focused on his power and his power base. Really what matters is how people like Jang Song Thaek react to the new leader...when he takes on the old guard for real...which he will do...eventually...

Apparently there have been rumours of economic reform in the North. Similar to China in the 80's.

Guess we can look forward to "Socialism with Korean Characteristics" as well then....

Indeed -

He's banned.

When did he get banned?

He got deleted a few days ago after once again wishing death on The Tiger Kingdoms. But he is back with a new nation.

There's been a distinctive lack of substantive analysis in this thread.

Agreed, but this happens,what,MONTHLY?

And not a single one of those bi-monthly threads has produced anything substantial or meaningful. I understand that most analyses on North Korea will be based on a reasonable amount of speculation, but usually that speculation is derived from something grounded, like information, to name one. In these threads, anything that sounds remotely plausible, like "They're all totally insane" can be passed off as a thorough analysis.

[Arglorand]

I don't care that much for economic reform in NK.

First of all, there's gotta be actual democracy. The regime must end. Everything else comes second.

Looking through Moderation, he seems to have done it pretty regularly against people he considers to be "enemies of the working class" AKA they aren't in love with Dear Leader.

China got economic reform. Didn't help. Same with Vietnam and Laos.

If he doesn't change his attitude from the bleet, he might end up earning the name DoSuritsu Nippon.

No. China has always, ALWAYS, used buffer states. That policy is not going to change. It's the main reason it's lasted as a unified country for the last four thousand years.

[The Emerald Dawn]

There's a simple answer to this.

Just bombard North Korea's airband with one repeated word, for 24 hours straight, nothing but, "And?"

Which of course explains why China drafted the latest sanction on North Korea.

Well some of us do try...
