This Morning’s News from Norkiland (Updated)
The late Kim Jong-Nam
Kim Jong-un is getting froggy. SoS Tillerson, during his recent visit to South Korea, indicated that China is not willing to clamp down on that small chunk of the Korean peninsula north of the DMZ line, despite the clear evidence that Fatty Kim da T’ird is bound and determined to punch anyone within striking distance of his NoDongs. (Puns are intentional.) The US is now saying the policy of ‘strategic patience’ is over. Military action is possible. The real problem there is getting China’s government to squelch the little bugger, but they’re dragging their feet because of that border thingy of theirs. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-39297031
Meantime, South Korea has appealed to the World Trade Organization that China is treating South Korean companies unfairly. So, what’s so new about that? http://www.bbc.com/news/business-39324536
Okay, we all know that the Norks are a not-quite-there version of the Keystone Cops, but only until they execute someone with an antiaircraft weapon when he pisses off Fatty Kim da T’ird for some minor infringement of some kind like buttoning the coat on the left instead of on the right or sneezing during formation. Then they become the slavering, drooling, tailwagging hunchdogs of an uncivilized, vicious, bad tempered megalomaniac spoiled brat who had his own brother murdered. That’s his bro’s picture at the top. I think he still has a sister. If she had any brains at all, she’d leave yesterday.
Meantime, Fatty Kim da T’ird is bound and determined to have a war, period. We are being warned that we should expect another missile launch soon, possibly this week? Month? Year?
Okay, I get it. Fatty Kim da T’ird wants a war to prove his ‘manhood’ or something, right? My take on this? If he launches even one missile and it goes further than the Norkiland coast, launch one or two THAADs to take it down, and at the same time, scramble a fighter squadron, bomb the living shit out of the Pueblo, and beat feet out of there. That’s just to let the Inglorious Little Basterd know that we know that he knows that we know that he knows that we can do that.
We could also target that 150-foot statue of Grandpa Kim, couldn’t we? That hideous “Ode to Inglorious Basterdie” sticks out like a sore thumb. It shows up on Google maps.
Fatty Kim da T’ird should be careful what he wishes for. Used ice cream is never as good as the fresh kind.
03-23-2017: this is an update to this post, an op-ed piece by Robert Gallucci, for the L.A. Times.
I’m surprised that the L.A. Times would present Mr. Gallucci’s op-ed, since it takes a lot to surprise me, but it is worth your time to read it. I question his opinion that we are not anti-ICBM missile capable, because we have definitely moved on from the 20th century when the Minuteman missile was our best response.
In addition, the Norks are now accusing Japan of spying on them, which may have something to do with Japan’s recent launch of a intelligence-gathering satellite. Ya think?

Think that is the part that should worry China – the batshit craziness. Asians tend to get very uncomfortable about people they cannot predict. Kim’s predecessors were nutty but predictable, hence OK – they twisted our tail, the Chinese smiled, all was good. Now – I’m just waiting for the first threat from Kim at China…fur will fly.
There was a missile launch this week, but as usual, the fat little pillsbury doughboy couldn’t get it up……err…the missile that is!
ANNNNNDDDDDD this always makes me giggle.

Ha! That’s going in my screen saver folder.
He’s gained back the ounces he lost, plus some. I doubt he can find his own nuts, never mind really doing anything else. The problem is very real, however, because he is so unpredictable.
As someone that has family in South Korea, I’m concerned about who takes over in the upcoming election. President Park Gyeun Hye, with her all faults did at least stand up to the Norks. The political insiders say that South Korea will most certainly elect a more liberal candidate. Which means, South Korea will start sending food shipments north under the pretext of feeding “starving North Koreans” but in reality it ends up in a North Korean infantry battalion’s mess hall.
I’m concerned because this little hot dog seems to be spoiling for a real fight. And per Jonn’s comment below, he tried to launch another one this morning but it
blew up.
I may make fun of that waddling crackpot, but I know he will do anything he wants to because he can get away with it.
I guess NDtBF launched a fizzle stick this morning that blew up upon launch. I suspect a bunch of rocket scientists will be missing by sundown.
I knew I should have stayed up later!
The bad news is that in rocket engineering it is said that you learn more from failure than from success.
Of course, in order to learn, you have to be alive.
True dat. The ‘scientists’ can’t learn from their failure if the penalty for their failure is a date with an anti-aircraft gun, or artillery piece.
Who will he attack? China? Bwhaaa
SoKo: Nope, we would come to their aid.
Who is left? He’s doing this to attempt to solidify the hatred his countrymen have against the West. His rocket supposedly blew up this AM on the launch pad. Rumor mills suggest it was US intervention that caused the failure. I guess we can do that.
So, who is he going to nuke? NOBODY. When his people get tired of eating turnips and tree bark, he’s in deep shit. I’m thinking the time may be near. Here’s hoping so.
Start a clock ticking, right in front of the Pentagon for the world to see, with a countdown to when we are going to fuck up the Norks. Give them a list of demands that can add time to that clock, e.g.;
Repatriation of the USS Pueblo buys them a week, reparations of $200k per civilian killed in indiscriminate shelling buys them a day per , etc.
Put the ball in firmly in their hands.
The US is lucky I don’t run foreign policy, I’d turn the DMZ into a green sea of land mines used as paving stones.
A couple years back, the rumors surrounding NDtBF’s hot sister said that she’s smarter and more cunning than he is. He apparently had her sidelined, but I wonder if she’s not just biding her time and waiting for the scared-of-their-own-shadows Nork generals to get on board with her program, at which point Fatboy could find himself on the wrong end of a ZSU.
Assuming, of course, that NDtBF hasn’t had her quietly clipped already.
I’m thinking that if NDtBF even thought his sister could add 2+2 and come up with a single digit answer, he may have had her wrapped in razor wire and dropped in a convenient mine shaft.
True, but then again, he’s an idiot. Plus, as dicked up as the Kim house is, I’d call it even money that he wants to tap Little Sis. Who knows?
Complicating this is the ouster of ROK’s Pres Park, partly fueled by liberal media created hysteria, and a huge swing in public sentiment to the progressive party candidates. The presidential election will be early May, with a likely return to the previous Sunshine reunification policy that (didn’t) work so well in the past. Coupled with China and ROK liberals anti-THAAD deployment issues makes this area pretty dicey for a missile or two or three from the NORKs. All Stuff you don’t read about in our newspapers, who are all focused on Trump.
Re: THAADs: they were sent and deployed last week to South Korea. It appears that those ‘liberals’ don’t have much say about it. It just makes China a bit nervous, because China says ITS territory is the real target of the Norks’ missiles.

I think Japan and SoKorea will have to work that issue out between themselves. Neither country should be left defenseless against that squatty little twatwaffle’s pokes and eye-gouges.
I could see a new ROK President un-deploy them if the public makes them the next protest target. We’ll see. I don’t think the conservative candidates have any chance at all this election, the Koreans who remember the war are passing on, and many millennials think things will be just dandy if America would just leave and they could get on with their reunification.
Yeah, well, who’s going to get rid of Fatty Kim for them? You?
Here’s hoping the NOKO midget doesn’t get a terminal disease. If he has to exit the earth, I’m thinking he might decide all bets are off and launch.
China is most interested in not having a united, democratic, US friendly Korea on it’s border, nor is it interested in coping with the flood of North Korean refugees that would result from the collapse of what passes for government there. So they play the middle game, and have been doing it well. So far, any way. NDtBF may just upset that apple cart. “May you live in interesting times.” is not a blessing.
NDtBF sucks fat ones.
I’d do it differently. Pull out of South Korea, and let the chips fall where they may. China may be more interested in NK if Americans aren’t readily available to die for SK. That’s another region of the world where I think we’re wasting our time.
In addition to the other news updates above, the Norks are now viewed as suspects in an $81 million dollar cybertheft from a Bangladesh central bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
The full story including a video is here.

I guess the money the Norks get from their southern counterparts is insufficient for the missile program.
