Love Your Enemies
Oyyyy.
Got a little headache this morning. My body, apparently, ain’t so friendly with beer anymore. Could be because my wife and I drank champagne like water during the two weeks around our wedding. Could be because I’m nearly 30. Could just be that I’m a bit lame.
Enough about me. Turns out North Korea, according to Retired Marine Corps Gen. James Jones, is not so much of a threat, after all.
Except, that is, for being led by a complete loony-bin, possessing nuclear wepaons, having a gigantic military, adhering to strict Marxist ideology and, most dangerously of all, a propensity for passing on its nuclear know-how to places such as Iran.
All in all, then, the DPRK is a wonderfully friendly and open place, but just has a slight image problem.
Gen. Jones is so sanguine about the threat posed by North Korea because, if you’re optimistic, (a) he has better info than we do about the imminent collapse of the regime there, or, if you’re pessimistic, (b) he knows that the US is soon to face a far more significant military challenge from, say, North Korea’s large northern neighbor.
[PS - I wanted another DPRK story to surface as, since my post yesterday, I've been checking out DPRK propaganda posters online. They're awesome! Ignore the abundant destruction of US symbols, and just admire the artistry and insanity.]
