[...] US, of course! This way, you don’t have to return to the armistice, and you can still have relative “peace” on the peninsula! Typical North Korean dramatic [...]

This is something I have opined before myself about how North Korea despite all the whinging to the contrary actually want USFK in Korea in order to legitimize why the Kim family regime has to implement their Songun policy and keep the country on a war footing. Then you have the South Koreans as well that want to keep USFK in place for the economic and political benefits from it along with being able to moderate US behavior in regards to North Korea. Then you have many people within USFK and in Congress due to inertia and a strong South Korean lobby that also want to keep USFK in place.

I talk about the reasons why USFK will not withdraw anytime soon from Korea here:

“…China would think twice about annexing N Korea.”

Why would anyone want to annex North Korea? It would be like inheriting a pit of one million vipers. I don’t think even China is interested in something like this.

I have a question. It seems that every time the US tries to pull out, or tries to get Seoul to defend itself, so they can pull out, N Korea ups the anti. It appears that N Korea actually WANTS the USFK in S Korea.

Now, I am of the opinion that should the US turn over war-time command, which would effectively allow troops to be withdrawn, the North would no longer have their Public Enemy No. 1, which would make it more difficult to persuade their people to spend all their resources on the militay rather than food, and also, so long as the US is actively engaged in S Korea, China would think twice about annexing N Korea.

I would be curious as to what you all think….

I don't think people even care anymore about North Korea. Even on this blog, there are more comments about Kimchi Curing Obesity and Don't Ask Don't Tell than about North Korea Testing Nukes.

I don't expect this to be much more than saber rattling for the POTUS. I hope I'm correct. Maby he will pull our people out of this useless duty assignment. I can only hope.

“‘Now that the South Korean puppets were so ridiculous as to join in the said racket and dare declare a war against compatriots,’ North Korea is ‘compelled to take a decisive measure,’ the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea said in a statement carried by state media.”

This paragraph sounds like the words of a bunch of desperate men living in a paranoid, delusional world. They would exhibit more wisdom if they first learned how to attach a miniaturized nuke to a missile before ‘excessively’ talking trash or doing something stupid.
