North Korea: No Respect
Posted by Frank J. at 09:13 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (23)

I have to admit, it is kind of funny how, when Iraq claims to not have WMD's, we're jumping all over them and threatening war, but, when North Korea says it has nuclear weapons, we're like, "Sure you do, North Korea. We believe you, and we're all really scared and threatened too. We have just one question before we start making concessions to you: what kind of cardboard did you use to make your missile." And then we point and laugh at North Korea's funny looking dictator, who starts screaming, "I do to have nuclear missiles! I will kill all you evil imperialists! And then I will... Hey! Stop watching The Simpsons! Be threatened by me!"

North Korea seems to be the most pathetic remaining Communist country. I mean, at least I’ve actually heard of people visiting Vietnam. Even if North Korea has nuclear weapons, they're people are probably so starving that they don't even have enough energy to push the button. Still, they act just like the French trying to pretend they're of some importance in the world. When they found out we had them on a list for nuclear preemptive strikes, they proclaimed we had declared war on them and would respond in kind. Yeah, if we actually had declared war on them, they'd be making their next press release through an ouiji board. I mean, how long could an invasion of North Korea take? An afternoon? They'd all surrender first chance they got so they could get some food. Just bring a box of chicken wings from KFC and I think we could have a bloodless coup.

Silly Koreans, Nukes are for Kids.

What's the point of kicking commie ass if it's 'bloodless'? We're not France, we like violence.

Korea spends about 5 trillion dollars annually on it's military. That compares favorably with nations that have known WMD capabilities like Pakistan.

I don't believe there is any reasonable doubt that N. Korea has had such devices for years at this point.

N. Korea severely damaged US forces in the Korean war and if not for an incredibly risky maneuver by the American troops, we would have been forced completly off the penninsula, though there is expectation that they were heavily supported at that time by their continuing major ally, China.

North Korea is the major producer of exported single and multistage missles, the true factor in WMD delivery. From a 1997 congressional hearing:
http://www.fas.org/spp/starwars/congress/1997_h/s-hrg-105-241.htm

Because North Korea has exported every missile it has built, in some cases even before it has deployed them, it is not unreasonable to assume that it will export the two long-range missiles it is now developing, the 2000-kilometer Taepo-Dong 1 and the 6,000-kilometer Taepo-Dong 2. The Taepo-Dong 2's 6,000-kilometer range will make it capable of hitting the United States from North Korea.

I find your lack of fear disturbing.

This may have nothing to do with North Korea. This morning I heard that 'classic' early 70's hit "Signs" on the radio and immediately thought of Frank J.

...and the sign said "all trespassers will be shot on sight"...so I got up on the fence and yelled at the house "Hey! what gives you the...BLAM!...BLAM!...BLAM!...BLAM!...BLAM!...BLAM! (dead air)

As Dean Martin once said "It's Frank's world, we just live in it"

I'm having a great deal of trouble working up a good scare over something called the "Taepo-Dong". The North Koreans need to consult a native speaker on their product names if they really want to scare the infidels.

#5 - Posted by: Ian S. on November 18, 2002 08:36 PM

Insipid. Do you honestly believe what you write?

#6 - Posted by: JoshMedia on November 18, 2002 08:54 PM

Frank,

Actually, North Korea has a considerable military. All that food and money that the people are supposed to get is routed to the military.

Yes, they do have humorous (to us) names for missiles like the "No-Dong" (there are probably a few other -Dongs) but that doesn't make them any less deadly.

Kim isn't suicidal. He'll probably try to blackmail someone if he can but, then again, a threat to nuke S. Korea would ring hollow, as the two nations are so small and literally side by side--nuke one, get fallout in the other.

[He is pretty odd looking, I'll agree...something like an crazed old retired clown who just happens to be a Korean.]

i cannot get over the comment from the josh media. i mean isnt this parody? no wait, you're serious? c'mon those little guys are fn dangerous man! cool it, okay!

All abolitionists in good standing should welcome a North Korean liberation.

#9 - Posted by: Anna on November 18, 2002 10:20 PM

Frank,
If U MAO, do you get banned in China?

#10 - Posted by: Noel on November 18, 2002 10:58 PM

I just wish to clarify that I have no fear of any Goddamn commies or their stupid, socialism-produced nukes. In a worst case scenario, all they could ever hit is the West Coast, and I don't even like that coast.

Jim, that would be the coolest song ever if that's how the lyrics actually went.

Noel, of course not. How could they ban me if I MAO.

JoshMedia, uh... 5 trillion a year on their military? That's nearly 20 times what we spend on ours. Head for the hills!

#11 - Posted by: Frank J. on November 19, 2002 08:44 AM

JoshMedia, in the great words of the late Sam Kinison, "IT'S A JOKE, DUH!"

#12 - Posted by: Mrs. du Toit on November 19, 2002 09:35 PM

Don't bother. Josh has no sense of humour.

#13 - Posted by: The Iconoclast on November 20, 2002 12:27 AM

Wow. Imagine a Communist N.Korea (NK) becoming nuclearistlicly empowered by US democrat Clinton. Now we are paying the price.

We are now trying to stop Iraq from becoming the next NK. The difference is that Iraq is dictatorly controlled a lunatistic madman that has proven he has no discrimination about throwing around WMD.

So now a Korean person is standing up for the North Korean government. Something smells commie-rotten in here. Ill go grab a bucket of popcorn chicken right now...

#19 - Posted by: Greg on October 28, 2003 04:23 PM

To: Josh Media

The total annual budget of the US is $10 trillion. To say that North Korea, or any country (including ourselves), spends $5 trillion on it's military is preposterous. North Korea spends 30 percent of it's GDP on it's military, which figures out to about $1.43 billion.

What is possible would never have been achieved if, in this world, people had not repeatedly reached for the impossible.
