Rodong Sinmun Calls for Frustrating U.S. Carrot and Stick Policy
2005-04-03
Damn! They're on to us!
Pyongyang, April 1 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists have become more sinister and crafty in their carrot and stick policy towards the DPRK and other countries.
I think Condoleeza looks kinda comely with that cloak, though she does have to work on rubbing her hands together with just the right touch of anticipatory glee...
The U.S. could not behave as it pleased when the former Soviet Union stood firm against it.
Ah, the good old days! Brings a tear to your eye, don't it?
But when renegades of socialism came to power and made one concession after another, the U.S. took a tough attitude towards it and buckled down to bringing it to a collapse. Its carrot tactics succeeded in doing so.
Economic collapse helped, of course. Then again, the Soviet Union in economic collapse was kinda like NKor at its healthiest...
After the Gulf War, the U.S. put pressure upon Iraq in various aspects. When Iraq yielded to its pressure by making concessions in various fields, the U.S. set the no-fly zone in the air above the country as it pleased, sent a U.N. weapons inspection team there to scour all the targets including presidential palaces and succeeded in invading and occupying Iraq by force of arms with ease. Its stick tactics worked there.
Didn't they, though? And which do you think Kimmy's going to get eventually?
Rodong Sinmun Thursday in a signed article called for maintaining the utmost vigilance against the U.S. carrot tactics and building up forces strong enough to cope with its stick tactics.
If you don't want the carrot, and you don't want the stick, what would you like? A pony's not an option, mind you...
Aggression and plunder represent the invariable nature of the U.S. imperialists, the article observed, and went on: The U.S. imperialists have used the carrot tactics in order to appease and deceive their rival, weaken and calm down his anti-U.S. sentiment and create illusion about them. The U.S. has employed a variety of the carrot tactics such as "peace," "aid" and "cooperation" to cover up nooses and thorns hidden in them. The U.S. imperialists become coward before the strong but get ferocious before the weak. They dare not wield a stick before the countries strong in political and ideological capability and enormous in military muscle.
Like Iraq? Remember the "Fourth Largest Army in the World"?
For the last several decades they have left no means untried to stifle the DPRK. The basic method employed by them is to stifle it by force of arms.
Like the time we attacked... ummm... uhhh...
Their nukes, carrier flotillas, strategic bombers and various types of missiles are involved in this stick tactics.
"Yeah! They been flyin' back and forth and sailin' back and forth and... ummm..."
The U.S. says that it has "no intention to invade north Korea." But this only betrays its ambition to dominate the whole of Korea at any cost by applying the carrot and the stick to the DPRK.
"They have no intention of invading us! Oh, the perfidy of it all!"
The article called upon the world progressive countries and peoples to clearly see through the U.S. imperialists' tactics for aggression and check and frustrate their crafty and vicious moves for aggression.
No juche, no songun, not even a few running dogs, but still a clear demonstration of the almost Islamic level of NKor logic...

A nice, fully-grown Clydesdale. From 45,000 feet.Without a parachute. And Kimme has to catch it in his teeth.

#6  You know, these crazy Rodong Ding-Dongs have been spouting the same deranged bullshit my entire life; I passed the half-century mark eons ago, and I can't remember ANY time when they weren't jabbering like a buncha howler monkeys hopped up on PCP.

We need to whack these idiots; I'm sick and tired of hearing their crap.

#2  applying the carrot and the stick to the DPRK.

Let's see here, large phallic-shaped missiles in the picture, and endless discussion of carrots and sticks. It's more than food you're not getting enough of, isn't it?

#1  Carrot and stick soup would be a huge improvement over the only NKor food group - bark and grass. They should be so lucky.
