#4 I'm not really sure why they wouldn't just let the river be their barrier. They have enough troops to guard the north bank quite well.

#5 Maybe Kimmie and Fox can go to the UN together to protest this grave injustice on humanity.

#6 This is a huge embarrasment for China, afterall this is a Socialist state a protege, starving under socialism. Just like china, was before it was bailed out by classical market economics. China needs to grow up, they are getting ready to host the Olympics showing off thier new found wealth and power, yet they are unwilling to Help the starving socialists to the south. Out of Sight is not out of mind, this wall / fence serves to deprive the enslaved to perpetual enslavement. If china were a man, with a mature mind, it wouldnt proceed along this course at all.

Frankly chinas failure to stop the starvation and abuse of citizens says everything I want to know about this state, lipstick on a pig seems to be the appropriate characterization.

Until China has humanity, its just an imposter, a hitchhiker on the road to No where.

#7 Chuck, the river as barrier approach hasn't been working all that well thus far, and clearly China expects things to get much worse in the near future.

#8 #6 - you can't compare a large power like China or the US to an individual human with moral responsibilities. China would have no qualms about exterminating the entire population of NK if the leaders saw fit. Previous Chicom leadership has already done away with millions of their own people. Had the US encountered a six-month delay in developing its nuclear weapons in 1945, it would have incurred hundreds of thousands of dead GI's invading the Japanese home islands in 1945 and 1946, not to mention the murder of all Japanese prisoners civilian and military as was planned by the Empire. I imagine at that point under those circumstances the US would have had no qualms about nuking every square inch of Japan as fast as it could develop the weapons. Japan was lucky it was only nuked twice, and lucky Hirohito wasn't assassinated by his own enthusiasts when he decided to throw in the towel.
Anyway, everyone knows fences can't possibly work to secure borders.

#9 Actually, we probably would not have invaded the home islands. The plan at the time was to continue to mine the ports, blow up trains, and firebomb the cities. Millions of dead Japanese men, women, and children, but "only" a few thousand US dead. The only question was: would the American people wait 1-2 years for the blockade to work? Or would they want the war over with now, regardless of cost?

#10 The US gov was not going to blockade and starve the Japanese because they did not expect results until 1947. Operation Olympic, the invasion of Kyushu, was scheduled for Nov. 1, 1945. The invasion would have went ahead if the atomic bombs did not end the war.
