RE: North Korean policy?
Not sure how declaring a state of war and threatening to nuke S. Korea, Japan, and the U.S. has much to do with protecting their sovereignty - I mean, it's not like we're marching on the fuckwits, eh?........... but okay. Honestly, if I was interested in protecting the sovereignty of my nation, or more specifically my government over that nation...that'd be about the last thing you'd ever hear pass from my lips.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

s. Korea even being on the DMZ with US troops is a act of war..

So long as each side stays on their side of the dotted line, everything should be just peachy. Eh? Peace does not require that the other side not have troops, or borders, or troops on their borders. It kind of does require that neither side declares war.......

Which, I note, one side has done, and the other side has not (rhetorically).

That is, unless the gentleman above you would care to produce evidence of ROK / US troops in the DMZ in violation of the armistice agreement?

Korea is a mess quite frankly. A mess that is equivalent to Margaret Thatcher's disasters. Its extremely unlikely we'll see a happy resolution to this problem within our lifetimes.

The worse thing you can do is isolate the north half of Korea further, it adds fuel to the fire that is their state paranoia and propaganda. The regime would gradually erode and collapse when its people realise the west aren't as "evil" as the government would have them believe.

Unfortunately, we are dealing with some rather speculator cretins in office lately, whose favorite current word is "sanction". Sanction this and sanction that. There's no end to the current 'regime' of stupidity that is burning bridges and bricking up doors that these politicians crave so.

North Korea exists because it is convenient to the US army.

To quote Ben Croshaw: "When society gets big, rich, and stupid enough, it actually starts to enjoy a good war."

I built more houses than I destroyed. I lay pavement. I cut down trees. I piled up rocks and rubble. It's a response to -anything- that the military might be able to respond to (so yes, that would obviously include military action). Isn't it a bit naive to think that S. Korea's permission would be a deciding factor if american interests required action and the most convenient troops on hand were in S. Korea? I mean, we have commitments, we're not saints.

I'm aware that the american presence in S. Korea is widely disliked (or at the least that such sentiment is expressed widely), I've been there. To be honest, we're widely disliked most of the places we're at and I've been to alot of places that fly the rw & b on foereign soil.....- but that doesn't change the mutually beneficial arrangement of the relationship, as you've so succinctly put it.


South Korea is not powerless. If US forces uses South Korea as base to operate against a third country against the desires of South Korea, we will likely find ourselves in a military confrontation with South Korea, where we would be substantially out numbered. We would also find all our agreements with South Korea abrogated. South Korea will throw us out, and we will be left with a choice between two of the worst possible options plus suffer from then on a total lack of ability to convince anyone else to hosts our troops again.

Let me ask you this - in the grand scheme of things, which thing is worse:

1) airdropping "propaganda" on your neighbors

2) threatening your neighbors with nuclear warfare.

Would 2) be a reasonable, rational, and measured response to 1)?

Why would they bother with flash drives? They have few computers and the ones they do rarely have electricity?
