Here's hoping they have some sort of nuclear accident that wipes their government off the face of the earth!

I was the President, I would start off tonight's State of the Union with this:

"Tonight, I want to speak directly to the Kim family in Pyongyang. Pyongyang, I want you to hear me clearly when I say 'Come at me bro' "

I did some of my research for my history degree on North Korea and let me tell you, they are screwed up. Millions starve, yet through brainwashing, they worship the "dear leader" as if he was a God. I know his grandson is in power now, but it's still like a cult over there. They will throw you into a prison camp for being an intellectual, an artist, etc. just like the Nazis did in WW2. For the humanitarian in me, I wish we would just go over there guns blazing. And really, I am a pacifist.

On a side note, have you ever google image searched "North Korea at Night." It's quite interesting.

I m just glad that the Chinese recently have moved over to our side on the issue.

I wouldn't take the Chinese at their word when all is said and done. They REALLY want North Korea, as demented as it is, to stay in place. They essentially need it almost as bad as DPRK needs China. I feel like they're going to agree with us just to the extent of political functionality without pulling their aid, which is the real thing that props up DPRK. Even though they have let sanctions fly, they haven't actually taken part in the sanctions.

yeah, as long as NK is around, China doesn't look all that bad. So it works in their favor.
