As North Korea ramps up it's 2,000 working centrifuges that processes uranium adaptable to the fueling of nuclear weapons, it also sticks it's collective thumb in the eyes of President Obama and the South Koreans. The weak response from the Obama Administration, just one day after the ferocious artillery barrage on Yeonpyeong Island, will only encourage Kim Jong Ill's deadly tantrums. North Korea shelled the South Korean Island for more than an hour, killing two ROK Marines and destroyed more than a dozen homes. This comes just eight months after the North sank a South Korean warship with barely a slap on the wrist from the international community. China, North Korea's principle ally, never condemns the retarded step-son for his belligerent actions, which, in turn only encourages more deadly behavior.
Japanese prime minister Naoto Kan has maintained to Obama that North Korea must not be allowed to get away with two armed attacks on the South in the space of eight months without a military response, but Obama has declined, claiming the attack was not a "crisis." The Obama Administration has just announced more military maneuvers with the South Korean armed forces in response to the North's provocation. This is the same response we always get from this President, and to expect a different result is just folly. It is time the United States considers the re-deployment of tactical nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula as a deterrent to the North. It is time that China realizes that the United States is serious about North Korea's provocations.
The Russians have condemned Kim Jong Ill's attack, which is encouraging, but it's not quite enough. China must reign in the North or face a possible war on their doorstep. China is certainly not our friend and they continue to support dangerous regimes around the globe. President Obama got his 3am phone call, actually 3:55am, and he dithered once again. This President is not feared by the bad guys, which only encourages more bad behavior. It is time for Mr. Obama to grow a set and put our enemies on notice. President Bush was not liked by our enemies for good reason. They knew he might just regulate them to the dustbin of history.
The reclusive North Korean regime of Kim Jong Il is reported to be close to an end. There are some reports by Korean experts that claim Kim is already dead and has been since 2003. There are other experts and various intelligence officials that claim the "Dear Leader" has suffered a stroke and is wheelchair bound. . All of these claims could be very good news or most likely bad news. Let me explain-North Korea is a communist hereditary dynasty and Kim has at least four children with three wife's. The eldest son, 37-year-old Jong Nam, would be one's guess as the presumed successor. No, Nam has a taste for Western toys which was illustrated when he tried to sneak into Japan using a fake Dominican passport in a bid to get to Tokyo's Disney resort in 2001. . His second son, 27-year-old Jong Chol, is believed to have spent part of his school years in Switzerland and probably has been Westernized to some degree, which could fare well for the world but not with the Communist Politburo. Youngest son, Jong Un, 24, who apparently looks and acts just like his father could be the favorite among the military. . I surmise that in the event that Kim is dead or on his way, there will be a collective junta resembling that of the Burmese junta that will rule behind the scenes and Jong Un as the figure head. Koreans are told that the Kim family are god's and should worshiped as such, so a collective military junta would not be looked upon kindly by the people. . America should hope that such a change would include one of the first two sons, as they are the most likely to shift from a policy of isolationism to a more open policy. There are reports that the Koreans are reconstructing their nuclear machine after being shuttered after the six nation negotiations. Let us hope that whoever takes the helm, they are not mentally ill as the last two Communist god's.
