Re: [Marxism] Long Live the North Korean Nuclear Program!

[nada <dwaltersMIA@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, where I do agree with JB is the very, very latest around these 
"Short Range Missiles" (you have to capitalize the words for full 
effect). My first thought was "????". So????. Whattttt???? Every country 
in the world has "short range" missiles and can include anything from an 
RPG to an anti-air craft missile to what are essentially rockets going 
20 miles to deliver an explosion. It's essentially the SAME missiles you 
see every May Day when they trot out the trucks with the white-walled 
wheels. It's like spouting: "North Korean soldiers were Seen Firing 
their Assault Rifles...a Threat against the US??? Inquiring minds want 
to know".

I can't find it but I believe the Chinese also concur they detonated 
something big north the capital in N. Korea. I suppose one can parse all 
this out to see the conspiracy if there is one. It shouldn't matter, at 
all, except if it is true, they have unnecessarily heightened tensions.

As for the "embargo". Only the US embargoes. Everyone else trades. The 
US is not their natural market, China and Russia and Japan are. Those 
countries have diplomatic relations, the US doesn't. Who cares? The N. 
Koreans certainly don't.
