He may fall into US Hands.
Since my writing of the Young-un Blog several readers have written to me challenging my worried assessment and saying that this is all just ‘old hat’ – it is North Korea simply once again “calling wolf”.
Hopefully those who think that are correct but I still am convinced the North’s position has gone well past mere posturing.
I say that for the following reasons:
first, the young-un is new to his position and must project himself strong in the face of opposition from within and without;
second, never before has the North revoked the July 27th armistice with the South (i.e. bluffing is to threaten to revoke and not to actually revoke it); and,
third, not since the 60 year old cease fire, has the North actually declared war on the South … until this past week that is (i.e. again – bluffing is to threaten to declare war …not to actually do it).
It has a million man army and just one spark would be enough to set things off …
That said, if the Young-un is not careful, he may be falling into a trap of his own making and one that the US may welcome.
There are two – (possibly three rogue nations if you count Pakistan) that have or are close to perfecting their nuclear capability. The US is on record – at last saying it will not allow Iran to join the nuclear club so that leaves North Korea.
The North – does have those weapons but does not have the capacity yet to deliver them to the continental United States. Now comes along the Young-un madness which gives the States the excuse it needs to ensure that they never gain that capability.
If I were the Young-un, I would be backpedalling for no other reason than that.
Will he? I am not so sure and hence the reason for my last Blog.
Should he? As stated, in his own interest he should.
One last comment, this is by far the most dangerous story out there and yet, from our own media, you would think that nothing is going on in the Koreas at all. It is all robo call and great issues such as that. Pathetic.
As I see it…
