#1 Hmmm: "Minuscule island (or rocks) lost in Japan Sea between Japanese Oki island and Korean Ullungdo island. Though owing no trees and no waters, it has become the subject of a bitter political dispute between Japan and South Korea. It has been under de facto control of Korean army since 1952. Its total surface is 0.2 km2."

So why are the Norks chiming in at this late date?
Anyhow, paragraph 3 clearly indicates they put a top-notch ranter on the job.

I kind of miss the old school 'capitalist running dogs' rants myself, but that one's not too bad, given what we've seen from them recently.
