As onerous and alien to us as the Kim family regime is, there doesn't seem to be any mass underground insurgency fighting for freedom. I suspect that after so many generations of total control and brainwashing, the ability to resist is considerably diminished. At some point, totalitarian regimes, Nazis, fascists, Communists, crumble as the people decide enough is enough. But somehow, I suspect, NK is far far from that.

Why else would they be defecting? Defectors usually say what their new hosts expect them to say. And how many actually defect from NK? The controls are tight, the propaganda and brainwashing becomes in grained over generations. Would you gamble that the sizable military and mass population would turn against the regime quickly in the event of looming war? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapamita Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 NK is a pure example ,that the United Nations must be reformed ,to have the power to act more early and as well to prevent upcomming events. In my ideas,since 2 decades , i want the Un reform like following - Termination of Veto rights -a country key for voting rights, depending on size of the country, Residents of the country and economic power GDP - military interventions for prevention, under a force of the UN , by 2/3 of votes. due to veto rights the Un is a paper tiger, bcs in any conflict, their is a veto of any side..., so conflicts have time to growth . If 2/3 vote for premetive meassures, nobody can blame one country at the end. Many regimes ,would cooperate under this pressure, and wars would be prevented. and others would be less dangerous, bcs messures taken early. A strong Un with military power is the solution The NK cponflict would be not heated up to the satge of today ,and would be solved end of 80ths already but its just a dream... nor the us or cina or russia will give off, the VETO rights. with this stupid vetos ..the UN will be a paper tiger even in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminiscent of Goebbel's Olympic offerings perhaps? How do you know that control is lessening and that change is happening from within?

Control is and had been lessening since the appalling famine of the 90s and the breakdown of the public distribution system. More and more information is getting in all the time and the country is changing from within, just the way any country should. Times are changing. But more and more information is not getting in. Outside info is tightly controlled. Get your facts straight. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_North_Korea Quote Censorship in North Korea (the Democratic People's Republic of Korea) ranks among some of the most extreme in the world, with the government able to take strict control over communications. North Korea is routinely ranked at the bottom of Reporters Without Borders' annual Press Freedom Index, occupying the very last place in 2017.

ebean001 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Asia has clearly told Trump/USA that is USA starts a war, all Asian countries will ally with North Korea. Think about it. It makes sense if they want to survive. Following that promise, NK pointed all nuclear weapons to USA targets. Finally, from what I have read, USA cannot stop missiles. No one can. It is the way the world has decided to deter nuclear war...NO DEFENSE. Actually, the only defense is an offense. If you nuke us then you will get nuked. Only crazy people would send up nukes. USA has 6,800. Russia has 7,00, and China has 400. 400 is plenty since they cannot be stopped. Also, USA and Russia have 1,800 nukes in silos ready to fire at any moment.

This is just the media and their right wing stooges hyping it up to sell copies and frighten people. 'Ready for war with the U.S'.. crap, of course! Basically, like me saying "Well, I don't WANT to fight the worldheavyweight champion, but if he wants it, let's go!!' Why even bother spouting such shit? My understanding is that two weeks would be the time-line, nukes or not, for sweeping through NK to enact the 'regime change' even the Chinese would - secretly - welcome!! I personally think that Kim Wrong Un is a little more savvy than he lets on! He certainly has NO intention of getting blown off his pretend-family-throne and giving up his access to the country's wealth to use for his own amusement!! Yes he's totally paranoid and insists that his emissaries and envoys, etc - in fact every person in NK.. just see the docus! - put forth his warrior-king spouting like THEY believe it too, and this is also true of their ' total 'adoration' of their 'great leader' and even the public outpouring of grief for his dad and grandad!!.. but my 'take' is that he knows its just rhetoric which he thinks and hopes will keep DT and America at bay and also keeps his own people believing in his power!! Absolute <deleted>, really, and neither do I believe that the NK people really believe his propaganda, I don't believe they are nearly so gullible as they seem, but KNOW how they must be seen and heard by him and his 'henchmen'.. ridiculous fawning and cheering or crocodile tears, both hysterically conveyed in public, each NK citizen, especially on the front row, trying to outdo the next!!.. but, otherwise its prison, hard-labour, starvation, and probably a horrible death (quite likely for their families, too!!)... Its <deleted> up and shall remain so until he's gone, which will take either a highly unlikely massive climbdown, which would have to be done in such a way as to save this 'great ones' face, or possibly using some of them crazy big warheads none of us want to see deployed!!! That he doesn't, either, is my main point, my own feeling, but how far he will push his rhetoric before China backs away and says, "<deleted> it, America.. go for it!!' remains to be seen. Dodgy times, for sure as if it does all 'kick off' NK's going to be looking to take out as much of SK as possible before the dust settles!!!

Robbess Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Does anyone really think the empire is afraid of this little country? The empire’s biggest problem with NK is independence - it won’t be a little good boy and follow Washington’s diktats - such as owning it, taking advantage of its resources, cheap labor, and finally breaking it up like a cheap corporation.

Rangerdriver Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Nuclear war would be devastating to not just to Asia but to world trade and finacial markets. If the sh*t hits the fan life as all of us know it will be changed permanently. It is truly scary that two crazies are the ones that will determine our collective future. Only one crazy person the world truly fears. Good job the US has Donald Trump to defend the rest of the world from NK and he has plenty of support.Sent from my ASUS_Z002 using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
