Kim Il Jong is officially dead. I stand corrected - thought he'd gone ages ago. Would ask what's next re: China, USA, nuclear arms etc... the son seems likely to be just as much a lunatic... but I think I'll leave that one to the group comedians. I do hope we get a 'serious' North Korea thread with as little bias as possible. Meanwhile, a link I just found... Bill Gates to develop nuclear reactor with China. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/bill-gates-developing-nuclear-reactor-104559477.html Point being, Kim will get the headlines this week... don't forget there is plenty else going on in the world! Condolences to the Il Jong family, and those North Koreans who idolised the man. Merry Christmas to my S.L.G family. Peace!

  3. I heard the son was in a college in Switzerland. Let's hope he is an intelligent young man with a bit of good education.

  5. The North Koreans are just like anybody else. No matter how bad it is, they are afraid of it getting worse, and if the guy in charge of your meager food supply just croaked I assume you would be crying over it.

    Besides, seeming like you care is probably a lot safer than seeming like you don't if you live there.

  6. "Condolences to the Il Jong family, and those North Koreans who idolised the man"
    It is refreshing to hear an expression of basic respect at the death of a human being. We often forget that celebrating when someone we don't like dies only mocks the real grief of friends and family, while the deceased is beyond hearing the insult.

  9. I see some really nasty times coming for North Korea. The successor, King Jong-Il's youngest son will be nothing more than a puppet of his uncle. The man married to Kin Jong-Il's youngest sister.

  11. Now seems the time for USA, NATO etc to 'encourage regime change' there, if we're going to at all. Not sure how that can work diplomatically if they continue to not talk at all. And any war would almost certainly end up involving China.

    Is that too melodramatic, or is there reason to be very concerned? I hope China can go the diplomatic route... thanks Wolf, will check out the uncle.

  12. Not too sure about that. To 'encourage' Regime change in that region could have some unforseeable 'Blowback' that might come back to haunt us. One must think such matters completely and fully, not using bias and politics as their divining-rod; but using logic and reason.
