New Korean War

The USA will end up in a new Korean War very soon, it appears. Kim Il Sung is crazy, and the military is the only thing he has going in that ass-backwards regime. He has already declared North Korea no longer bound by the 1953 accords. This time he is working with missiles and possibly nuclear arms.

How will China react? We are their largest customer for manufactured goods. And our banks owe them a ton of money. Will they let the US eliminate this menace?

Think about it. They really might not mind having a nuclear capable ally between them and Japan. It depends on how much they have evolved in the last 55 years.

I predict the North Koreans will attack this week. And China will use their leverage for concessions on trade with the West.

See Max Hastings, The Korean War.

It will be interesting to see what happens with this.

"Think they'll call you back up if it turns into a war?" I says to Ian.

"I wonder," he says back.
