Red Lines, Syria and Incompetence

Posted on 30 April 2013 by

 Well thought out red lines can be drawn, successfully. Ill conceived red lines can easily make a bad situation much worse. An article from Stratfor is republished following my initial comments. My initial comments: Great care needs to be taken … Continue reading →

Do we know what’s happening? Probably not. But historical context may help. The following article from Stratfor, republished with permission, provides useful historical context for the current situations in Korea and its usual (apparent) ally, China. It spans many centuries.

Happy Birthday, Kim Il-sung

Posted on 13 April 2013 by

Well, sorta. Maybe it will be his last, but I wouldn’t count on it. Kim Il-sung was born (it is written and may even be true) on April 15, 1912. There are over 500 statues of Kim Il-sung in North … Continue reading →

Is the 1950 Korea Mess Relevant to the New Korean Mess?

Posted on 6 April 2013 by

Probably very little, beyond the differences. The North Korean invasion of South Korea began on June 25, 1950 when North Korean troops — many of them battle-hardened veterans of Mao’s fights against Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalists — crossed the thirty-eighth parallel to … Continue reading →

China, Iran and North Korea — a radioactive stew

Posted on 13 March 2013 by

It’s being prepared for our dinner. Should we eat it? How would it affect us and What should be done instead? Relations between China and North Korea seem, cosmetically, to be getting chillier. China joined the unanimous U.N. Security Council … Continue reading →

Having Tested One Nuclear Device this Month, What Might North Korea Do for an Encore?

Posted on 16 February 2013 by

More tests, probably, in partnership with Iran. Meanwhile, the U.S. and her allies want to limit North Korea’s access to gold while increasing Iran’s access, making them even happier sellers and buyers. On January 30th, I posted an article on … Continue reading →

North Korea, Kim Jong-un and the Big Bad Bomb

Posted on 27 May 2012 by

Unsuccessful negotiations with Iran to avoid nuclear weapons development have been much in the news.  Her frequent collaborator North Korea — which has already made and tested nuclear devices — is lurking in the background while we await her delayed … Continue reading →

More North Korean Threats. Next verse same as the first.

Posted on 24 April 2012 by

Why? Is North Korea serious or is she polishing her tarnished begging bowl yet again? The perception that North Korea is “almost ready” to conduct another nuclear test “soon” has been voiced since before the abortive missile test on Friday … Continue reading →

North Korea threatens retaliation

Posted on 17 April 2012 by

Here we go again. Maybe. On Tuesday (probably Wednesday morning, New York time) North Korea accused the U.S. of hostility . . .  for suspending an agreement to provide food aid following Pyongyang’s widely criticized rocket launch, and warned of … Continue reading →
