#6 Well, since dog is a frequent menu item in Korea, I guess turnabout is fair play.

I don't suppose there's one chance in hell.

#12 I'll believe the Chinese are serious when they close the oil pipeline valve and Kim's 100 inch flat screen goes dark. Or the train he's on blows up.

#15 ... and Jimmy Carter, Hildabeest, Kerry, and other lefty and State-Dept types would have us negotiate with this madman. Damned fools. They should be forced to sit there, clockwork-orange style and watch the video of the execution (and you know damned well that batsh*t crazy SOB recorded it).

Only one kind of negotiation works with this kind of person:

#16 Not only that OldSpook - they would rather sit around and circle-jerk each other while this mad dog develops a missile capable of carrying a nuke *and* of reaching the Continental U.S.

Your right about the video.

#19 I question the truthfulness of this. Good reading though.

#20 I have to agree wid #19 - "Dear Uncle" may had been more loyal to North Korea than spouse "Dear Auntie", but he was still "China's Man" - iff true, this action by Kim would only add to NOKOR's long list of hostile antagonisms agz overlord China, + inspire China to come down harder on the Kim regime.

Looks like other Perts feel similarly ...

* TOPIX > [WNYC] DID KIM JONG-UN FEED HIS UNCLE TO 120 DOGS? BE SKEPTICAL.

* SAME >[Time>com] A DOG OF A STORY? WHY KIM JONG-UN PROBABLY DID NOT FEED HIS UNCLE TO 120 HOUNDS!?

versus

* TOPIX > [Daily Star] AFTER AN EXECUTION, THE KIM DYNASTY'S LAST CHAPTER MAY HAD BEGUN.

NOKOR = Pudgy + Boyz facing a "perfect storm" ...

> "Post-US", "Mahanist" China's "Manifest Destiny" + its demand for strategic access reflecting such via the "First Island Chain" into WESTPAC.
> China's share of NOKOR trade, wid corresponding influence-n-control over NOKOR, likely to increase due to recent Sino-DPRK FTAS.
> China unlikely to support any sort of formal, sovereign inter-Korean Reunification unless its own reunification wid TAIWAN takes place. DITTO AS PER TRUE NOKOR SOVEREIGN INDEPENDENCE???
> Pervasive, lingering starvation in NOKOR proper to go on UNLESS THE COLD WAR-ERA STATUS QUO IS SOMEHOW CHANGED, FINALLY + FOREVER, WID OR WIDOUT RESORT TO INTER-KOREAN ANDOR REGIONAL MILITARY CONFLICT.

As things stand, NOKOR is an UN-ANNEXED CHINESE PROVINCE FACING DE FACTO ANNEXATION BY SAME IN LT, something that NOKOR, SOKOR, US, Japan + Russia don't wanna see happen. BUT YET, IFF THE STATUS QUO DOESN'T CHANGE, CHINA WILL TAKE OVER NOKOR ANYWAY AS THE INDIGENOUS NOKOR PEOPLE STARVE + DIE AWAY LEAVING THE LAND BARE FOR FOREIGN = NON-KOREAN? HABITATION. China is unlikely to favor SOKOR migrants into NOKOR over its own.

SOKOR will all that remains of the ancient Korean homelands, + it will still be at high MilPol risk from China-vs-US [Allied?] geopol competition + rivalry. THE THREAT OF CHINESE-LED OR NUCWAR-LED FINAL ANNIHILATION/DESTRUCTION OF THE KOREAN PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS HANG LIKE THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES OVER SOKOR.

IMO KJU is well-cognizant of the above - iff the Kim Family = "Sovereign" NOKOR is going to go down + be finally taken over by mainland China, HE INTENDS FOR THE REGIME TO GO DOWN TAKING CHINA + "STATUS QUO" + REGIONAL PEACE WID IT. PUDGY WILL FIND A WAY TO INITIATE GREAT POWER WAR IN NE ASIA.

IMO again the WORST-CASE SCENARIO for Pudgy is for a CHINA-JAPAN WAR OVER DISPUTED SENKAKUS/
DIAOYUS TO NOT TAKE PLACE, OR IN ALTERN FOR CHINA TO WIN = "NOT LOSE" IT VEE THE US OR US-ALLIES. Such a war is NOKOR's first real opportunity to remove China from obstructing or preventing inter-Korean reunification, over + besides the Taiwan issue.

* BIGNEWSNETWORK > JAPANESE GOVT WANTS SEA LANES AS PART OF SELF-DEFENSE, i.e. Japan's National Security Strategy.

So does Rising China on its part, as per strategic access for PLA into WESTPAC + SOPAC vee "First Island Chain", WHICH IS WHAT THE SENKAKUS/DIAOYU ISLANDS = EAST CHINA SEA, + SPRATLYS = SOUTH CHINA SEAS, DISPUTES IS REALLY ABOUT.

Yes to ECS + SCS Seafloor/UW Resources, but more to OWG Globalism China's rise to being a Global "Co-Superpower" wid the US, ETAL. + ultimately to take over as World #1.

#21 To be honest, these dictator/serial killer types have been around for 6000 years. These days the barbarians wear suits.

#23 * INDIAN DEFENCE FORUM > [Space Daily]CHINA, KOREAS IN MODERN CONFLICT OVER ANCIENT [Korean] KINGDOM.

Koguryo versus "post-US", "Mahanist" China.

* DEFENCE FORUM INDIA > RISING TENSIONS BETWEEN CHINA + JAPAN COULD BOIL OVER | IS WORLD WAR 3 ABOUT TO START .... BY ACCIDENT?, MAX HASTINGS ASKS WHETHER ... ... ...|MAIL ONLINE.

* SAME > [Forbes] AFTER YASUKUNI, CHINA CLOSES THE DOOR ON ABE - WHY IS HE SMILING?

ARTIC = ...
> Senkakus/Diaoyu dispute a "kamikaze" which may have had to be CREATED iff it didn't exist.
> US-Japan security aliance incompatible wid that of US-China relations as the US-desired "central organizing principle/base" for East Asia security.
> DEFENSE OF THE "STATUS QUO" MAY aggravate tensions + increase risks of conflict. Fundamental change is needed to Washington's mindset + strategy, OBAMA'S "PIVOT TO ASIA" SHOULD BE REVERSED.

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > ABE WANTS TO CHANGE TEXTBOOKS TO ILLUSTRATE MORE NATIONALISM - THE HINDU.

* WAFF > [Voice of Russia] AIRSEA BATTLE CONCEPT FOR US DEFEAT IN WAR WITH CHINA?

ARTIC = US' internal crisis + dearth of funds seriously jeopardizes its ability to support or maintain its overseas commitments SUCH THAT IT MAY ULTIMATELY "FORCE THE US TO [unilaterally]ACCEPT DEFEAT" IN ANY US-CHINA MIL CONFLICT.

Major US Allies in NE or East Asia may not be able to alter the outcome ...
> SOUTH KOREA = professional + well-trained but its Govt-Military focii is preventing mil attack from NORTH KOREA.
> JAPAN = JSDFS too small in number vee mainland China + PLA despite superb equipment.
> TAIWAN = highly sensitive to political factors, espec Ethnic-Cultural similarities wid Commie China. MAY REMAIN NEUTRAL IN US-CHINA WAR???

RELATED DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US-CHINA MILITARY CONFLICT COULD LEAD TO NUCLEAR WAR.

US-vs-China, or US-vs-Russia.

* VOICE OF RUSSIA > OBAMA IMPEACHMENT MAY BECOME AREALITY IN 2014: DNC RAISES FEAR IN NEW EMAIL.

Now, now, iff the Dems didn't remove POTUS Clinton for self-admitting his Presidency was illegitimate vee two-time election fraud, what makes them think POTUS Bammer will be removed for publicly lying about Obamacare + other.

AT WORST, OBAMA MAY BE IMPEACHED = "FOUND GUILTY" LIKE CLINTON, BUT THE DEMOCRATIC SENATE WON'T REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE.

No, IMO any formal impeachment + removal of the Bammer from political office MUST bebased on his very real weakness in Foreign Policy, i.e. violating his own "red lines" + sacrificing US overseas allies + pro-US, Western moderates for the sake of PCorrect-Deniable OWG Globalism.

VIOLATING "RED LINES" IN MIDDLE EAST = SYRIA + IRAN WIN = CHINA WILL WIN IN NE + EAST ASIA.
