The Summer of War
Tensions heighten on the Korean DMZ. North Korean media has claimed the USA has over 1000 atomic bombs in South Korea and Japan to counter the communist country's growing threat to regional stability, despite the 'fact' that the US atomic arsenal was removed from South Korea after the end of the Cold War. The Foreign Ministry has vowed to accelerate their nuclear ambition in reaction to Friday's UN resolution condemning North Korea's missile tests. No one seems capable of talking sense to the hermit nation. 60 years after the cessation of the Korean War they are more isolated than ever by their resolve to follow the path of Juche or self-reliance. The future is unpredictable, as Kim Jong-il or 'Dear Leader' has been in hiding after a minor stroke in 2008. Succession is unclear, although most observers have fingered 25 year-old Kim Jong-un as his replacement over his effeminate older brother.
Like Grandfather like father like son.
'Brilliant Comrade' is best known for his admiration of Michael Jordan.
25 years old with his finger on the trigger.
Personally I don't believe the North Korean have any A-bombs. They are bluffing like Iraq, but that's a hard hand to call with Seoul only 25 miles from the DMZ. Hawks in the Pentagon would love to nuke them, but Obama is a Bulls fan too and this war threat is only another device to psuh gas prices higher for the summer.
$3 a gallon by July.
