#1 Situation Summary (please suggest changes, deletions, etc.):

1) The Russians (now) wanna play cuz they think there's hard currency to be had... Fathers of the NorK "country" and culpable for abandoning them when they were merely young thugs.

2) China is being coy and enjoys its little game of thinking the US "needs" them - serves their fantasy of being a global power... Mommy of the delinquent NorKs and culpable for staying drunk on imagined importance instead of teaching the little shit any manners.

3) The NorKs are pretending to be insane - rather convincingly - in order to get aid so they don't have to eat dirt and can pretend they're a "big" and "important" country / regime / asylum and sit at the big table with the adults. Not happening. Ever.

4) The SKors will do anything, kiss anything, suck anything you place in front of them if it allows them to reunite with their NorK comrades thus destroying their economy for 20-30 yrs and allowing the oldies to visit the graves of ancestors and bark at the moon...

5) The Japanese do NOT like having pissants like the NorKs shooting missiles over the Japanese islands and developing / possessing nukes. Unhappy enough to change their constitution and rebuild their armed forces.

6) The US is not happy about the nukes, but unwilling to appease / kowtow / pay blackmail. Not our mess and not our problem. Fools want us to replay the disasterous policies that led us here. Dubya is not that stupid. Time to withdraw US troops from shitforbrains SKOR and let THEM defend themselves - they're not poor.

Looks like there should be 4-way talks: Russkies, Chinese, NorKs and Skors. No place or need for US or Japan to get involved - unless it's to apply a terminal solution.

We should whisper in Japan's ear: "Hey, these clowns are all nuts, let's blow this joint and find a good kareoke bar... whaddya say?"

#3 Sounds good to me, PD. I'd throw in that Mommy keeps getting hit up for cash and is too poor to help out but won't admit it.
