Long piece with lots of links, but perhaps the best analysis I've seen so far. His take is similar to that of the Burg: North Korea is a client state of China. It does little that China doesn't want it to do. The quickest way to control the Norks is to lean on China. China controls most of N. Korea's trade and finance, particularly oil and banking.
Why hasn't the U.S. leaned on China successfully? Because our current administration (and the last three) didn't want to. Simple as that.

The "status quo" in NE Asia may be changing sooner than anybody thinks.
As I've said or argued times before NOKOR desires to reunify wid SOKOR but China likely won't allow it until it first gets back de facto sovereign control over TAIWAN, i.e. China's future "US-style" CENTCOM into the far Pacific, + likely also de facto sovereign control of the presently Japanese-controlled Senkakus + Okinawa Archipelago to protect the Air-Sea, etc. approaches to, from Taiwan.
As a OWG Globalist, "US-style", "Co-Superpower" IN PAR NOT INFERIORITY TO THE US, CHINA WANTS "SOLE" OVERSEAS MILBASING RIGHTS FOR THE PLA VEE THE MOSTLY PRO-US "FIRST ISLAND CHAIN" INCLUDING CHINA SEAS + IOR BUT ISN'T GETTING IT.
There is little to no sign that China is amending or giving up its national or geopol agenda, hence the only way to get its "sole" overseas milbase rights + facilities is via UNILATERAL OR ASYMMETRIC MILPOL "CONFRONTATIONISM" + POTEN NOT WORSE/HIGHER-THAN-LIMITED-WAR, CONVENTIONAL ANDOR LIMITED NUCLEAR, AGZ US REGIONAL ALLIES + EVEN AGZ THE US ITSELF IN EAST ASIA-PACIFIC OR WESTPAC.
Anti-US US OWG Globalist POTUS Obama has PCorrectly-Deniably all but given China what it wanted in the South China Sea vee the Philippines, VN, + Indonesia, SO NOW CHINA HAS BEGUNS ASSERTING ITSELF AGZ US ALLIES JAPAN + SOKOR + TAIWAN IN NE ASIA. It strongly appears that China does not intend to attack Taiwan widout first isolating it as a Battlefield or Mil Theater-Front from Japan + SOKOR, ala the movement of "dual-use", Military-usable [staffed?] Oil-Gas Rigs on both sides of Taiwan + demanding that Japan give up all claims to the Senkaku + Okinawa islands.
NEITHER JAPAN NOR SOKOR IS "BUDGING", THUS THE LIKELIHOOD OF A CHINA OR PLA-LED MILITARY CLASH BETWEEN US REGIONAL ALLIES + ULTIMATELY AGZ THE US ITSELF IS STEADILY + EXPONENTIALLY RISING.
Again, it behooves China to make its moves in East Asia-Pacific/WESTPAC while POTUS Obama, aka the Pert, MSM-net verified weakest or worst US POTUS since Jimmy Carter or in US History, still occupies the Oval Office + sits atop the US National Command Authority. POTUS OBAMA WILL STILL BE IN OFFICE BETWEEN NOW THRU JAN. 2017.
Finally, after the so-called "FONOPS" by both the USS "Lassen" + the USS "Curtis Wilbur" DDGS in the SCS, PLA LEADERS ARE REPOR CALLING FOR A MUCH TOUGHER RESPONSE BY THE CPC/CCP IN BEIJING AGZ THE US "FONOP" INCURSIONS, OSTENSIBLY IN DEFENSE OF SOVEREIGN CHINESE TERRITORY + CHINESE NATIONAL, GEOPOL INTERESTS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.
Is it a mere coincidence that NOKOR's rocket [China-ordered, NOKOR-fired?] flew over or near to the Yellow Sea, ECS, Okinawa, + Northern Philippines - I DON'T THINK SO.
[Daily Caller] Republican presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz said Sunday proposing to force women to sign up for the draft is the result of dangerous political correctness, and if he were president, he would make sure to put a stop to it. If the 'All Volunteer Army' (VOLAR) is working so well, why is this even an issue? Rhetorical question of course.
Cruz's bold statements puts him in complete contrast to other GOP presidential candidates, The Wall Street Journal reports. At the Republican debate Saturday evening, Sen. Marco Rubio , former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stated if a military draft ever were to come into play again, women should have to sign up. I suspect 'Maggie' would agree with Ted.

It's not as much PC as the long march from social contract to legal contract and the logical conclusions that are the consequences. If you shelved all the federal laws and regulations in 1950 you'd probably take up an entire aisle in a good size library. Today That would take up the whole library because the bureaucrats, lawyers and pols (yes that redundant to a large extent) want to codify every little aspect of our lives, forcing all of us into set behaviors instead of allowing the natural course of human interaction govern behaviors (ie social contract).
The states rejected ratification of the Equal Rights Amendments with arguments about 'same sex bathrooms' and the 'draft of women' - social contract. Regardless, the oligarchs as manifested in SCOTUS have systematically imposed by interpretation 'legal' contract of that failed amendment. You're going to get it whether the people consent or not! Gee, and those same social arguments against it are now coming to pass.
The 'classical' liberal position was 'equal opportunity' allowing merit to sort things out. The socialist position is 'equal outcome' regardless of merit. America has made choices, now they shall bear the consequences.

And all the way includes the ladies. No reason we can't get them working in soup kitchens or retirement homes or the VA hospital, they don't have to serve in the military.
Article I, Section 8 - The Congress shall have Power...
To make Rules for the Government and Regulation of the land and naval Forces;
To provide for calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions;
To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;
They did that with the Militia Act of 1792, now manifested in Title X USC para 3.1.1. Militia.
It is not an alternate job program. There is no alternative service because it immediate runs roughshod against the 13th Amendment and involuntary servitude (though the Donks, now socialist, have always loved involuntary servitude). It was in the beginning having skin the game of the old republic. You get this 'democracy' but you have to protect it.
As for the draft, those of us who went through the early and late seventies with lots of desertions, drugs, race riots, loads of UCMJ actions, et al, remember the remnants of that last draft army. Better to have 8 men of a 12 man squad who are motivated than have to spend 80 percent of your time dealing with distractions of 4 malcontents.

@European Conservative, glad to hear my info is old. My ex-step father used to talk about his time, but that was during the cold war when a case for the service was a lot easier to justify.

Look again: Merkel was recorded talking to Zuckerberg about suppressing "anti-immigrant" postings. No idea what she would have done if he had said "No, go jump in a lake.", but he showed he had zero courage.
Weimar Germany -- to give just one example -- was replete with hate-speech laws intended to limit speech the state did not like. These laws did nothing whatsoever to limit the rise of extremism; it only made martyrs out of those it pursued, and persuaded an even larger number of people that the time for talking was over.
The sinister reality of a society in which the expression of majority opinion is being turned into a crime has already been seen across Europe. Just last week, reports from the Netherlands told of Dutch citizens being visited by the police and warned about posting anti-mass-immigration sentiments on Twitter and other social media.
Keep in mind the Fascist model (which the Germans perfected to a fine art): private companies own the means of production (the media equipment and what is said on it), but the government tells the private companies what to ban and what to allow to say. Voila! No violation of the First Amendment because the private companies did it "voluntarily"! Besides, its regulating companies, not "free" people. In Facebook's case, quite willingly. (And technically, if the government bans the sale of bullets to private individuals, then a "literal" reading of the Second Amendment would allow the ban since bullets are not "Arms". Clinton-style vocabulary definition-alteration.
The thing to do now is not talk about the "immigrant" invaders, but about the ban on talking about the "immigrant" invaders. When they ban talk about the ban, talk about the ban of taling about the ban on talk about the "immigrant" invaders.

About 3 weeks ago, Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) established a Facebook page. I simply put up a post on my profile pointing that out..no editorializing or anything of the sort. Just a friendly "welcome to FB" soo yeah some snark. Later that same day AQIS page was taken down along with my post. I received no notification from FB support. Someone there just decided to take it upon themselves to do it

The antidote to bad speech is more good speech. Banning speech is counter productive and violates personnel liberty.

The 'private company' is but a sock puppet.
The censorship regime was imposed by the government threatening the private actors with the application of the government's monopoly on power.
The censors are de facto government agents who are backed by the government's armed force. Yet they're pretending to be mere private citizens, free to act arbitrarily and capriciously.
Thus it is the the government that can apply power arbitrarily and capriciously and cannot be held accountable.
This state of affairs is alien to the principles of Western Democracy.

I'm as free speech as they come. But some comments on Facebook are truly sickening.
Try reporting a posting that recommends the reopening of gas chambers to solve the refugee crisis, and you get a standard reply from FB that this posting doesn't violate the standards of FB.
Report a bare female breast and it will be gone within one hour.

A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
