One-upmanship on Obama...


I was OK but my son is a bit headstrong...
WOW, "Full war declaration statement from DPRK". Could this really happen or is it oneupmanship by the North Korea Supreme Command hoping Obama is as weak as he looks and sounds? Even if he is the South Koreans aren't a pushover. That said it really does sound like the Team America script writers have been at it:
"The era when the U.S. resorted to the policy of strength by brandishing nuclear weapons has gone. It is the resolute answer of the DPRK and its steadfast stand to counter the nuclear blackmail of the U.S. imperialists with merciless nuclear attack and their war of aggression with just all-out war. They should clearly know that in the era of Marshal Kim Jong Un, the greatest-ever commander, all things are different from what they used to be in the past. The hostile forces will clearly realize the iron will, matchless grit and extraordinary mettle of the brilliant commander of Mt. Paektu that the earth cannot exist without Songun Korea. Time has come to stage a do-or-die final battle."

There was a 'two minutes to midnight' scenario in the Sunday Times last week which had me having flashbacks to when I was a teenager.

Funniest thing I've seen this week, not intentionally funny, was on CNN when a American journalist of considerable experience and age was doing his Corporal Jones 'don't panic' impersonation.

China are the big concern here with all the power they currently have over so many aspects of international diplomacy - that said the North Korean broadcast on Friday night/Saturday morning was either the scariest thing you've seen somebody pull off with a straight face.

Yes, I think you are right re China: they can't 'support' NK this time because they have far too much to lose in global trade etc, they need to lean of little Kim and tell him to wind his neck in.
