Yep, North Korea..... Again

No, the latest stand off isnt over yet. The two Koreas are still rattling their sabers, and the US is going to make sure that the South Koreans have a saber made out of pure 110% Classified Material. Hell, we will make sure they have two of them. In my previous blog I asked whether or not Obama would be able to stand fast (about 4 months after inauguration) and as we approach the end of his second year in office id say that he managed to show some force in the area following the North Korean artillery strikes on November 23rd, which I honestly thought was an appropriate showing.

Now the big time question here, is will North Korea go bonkers and invade the South, thus signing its own death warrant, or will it do what it has always done, piss off the South and the United States and sit down laughing like they are having a good ol time. Which will it be, who the hell knows. Its more likely that it will be the latter, I do think that whoever is in charge up there, Kim Jung Il, his surprisingly shorter son Kim Jong-Un, or even the Chinese, who ever it is is smart enough to know that a small handful of nuclear weapons wont stop the North from suffering the death of a nation if they are the aggressor in a war. Then again I said Obama wouldnt win the election after he picked Biden for a VP over Hillary. Just like how the economy took a crap before the 2008 election, something could happen that leads to war on the Korean Peninsula.

Now the South Koreans could in my quick study of their armed forces, easily crush any North Korean attack, and with thousands of US forces in the area, quickly take over the tragically impoverished nation. To put it this way, North Korea is a goner if they start anything. Or are they? Will the South Koreans really want to annex the conquered territories of the North after the war? North Korea is a nation full of almost 25 million impoverished and near starving people who have taken the back seat to an excessive military and nuclear program. Their GDP is about 40 Billion with a per capita of less than 2,000 US dollars. In comparison the South Korean economy has a GDP of almost 1 trillion, and its population of almost 50 million have a per capita of just over 20,000 US dollars. (Note, these numbers come from Wikipedia, so take them with a grain of salt). Would South Korea, as a nation really want to take on the burden of such an economically crippled country? Now let me note that that is not a comment on Communism, North Korea is not a communist state, North Korea in my view is a Military Dictatorship pretending to be a communist state.

But coming back to the here and now, all its going to take is one misplaced artillery shell, or one rouge general bent on glory, and then there will be war. Once invaded, the North Koreans will without a doubt use Nuclear Weapons to try and halt US-S Korean forces, then the US may retaliate by striking wherever the leadership is believed to be and major military positions. Now the good news, is that last I heard the North Korean nuclear bombs were far too big to be placed on the head of a missile (HA! like North Korea has a working missile program), so the expected use of the bombs would be defensive. IF they survived the initial US bombing campaign.

Now if the North decides to sit down and laugh. The western powers will to back to the negotiating table and pay attention to the poor little country. I believe that North Koreas provocations are nothing more than a cry for attention, a cry for attention from a small child with nuclear weapons. And as much as I want to slap the child or beat it with a baseball bat, I cant, because he will vaporize my ass. Oh well, I guess we will have to wait until Kim Jong gets really old, trips over his own bomb and takes North Korea down inadvertently

In other news!

I have the interview for my CU at the Capitol internship on Wednesday morning, we shall see how it goes, I got a good feeling, mainly cause 1) im awesome and 2) Its unpaid volunteer work so why wouldnt they take me

Did anyone else see the Avs- Blackhawks game this past monday, Hot Damn that was a good hockey game, the Avs won 7-5, if you have a chance try and catch the highlights on youtube or NHL.com

Another amazing thing about the Avalanche is that in the past 10 days they have out scored the Broncos 22-19... Big thanks to michellehayes19 for pointing that out on twitter, heh, I think its funnies!

Also, I noticed this tool on facebook the other night saying that Tim Tebow should have a chance to play for the Broncos because of his pro-life stance. yes I called him a tool, because he is one. The man is a professional athlete, it is how he plays on the field or that determines who he is as a Bronco, not how he votes or the causes that he argues for. This tool also went on to say something along the lines of "Support for Tebow is Support for beating women".... I went on to say, "Anyone against Tebow, is in support of murdering children", just to show how moronic and stupid he sounded trying to narrow down such a complex topic into one sweeping statement. end rant.

So next time im torn between talking about Wikileaks or the Health Care debate..... And I could also argue that this most recent congress was terrible long before the lame duck period.... choices choices......
