Re: [Marxism] The DPRK (north Korea) ends truce with ROK (south) over southern threats to shipping

[Adam Richmond <adambrichmond@xxxxxxxxx>]

What I am getting at is that the Cuban government has massive popular support, 
even militant support.  I don't think Kim Jong Il's government commands that 
same level of support. The question is political not military. Even with its 
relative poverty, Cuba acts as a beacon for hope in Latin America, apparently 
no one (any longer) views North Korea as a beacon of anti-imperialist 
aspirations for Asia.  Thus Cuba doesn't need to rely on nuclear weapons to 
protect itself.
