[Centurion40]

Apparently Dick is concerned:

Whatever comes next, I just love the photos accompanying the CNN story, linked above.

Photo #1:  The Dear Leader, high as a kite on meth, thinks that he's Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers movies.  "I want to eat yer baby!"  "Nooo Dear Leader, please no eat my baby!"



Photo #2:  The Dear Leader, still deliriously high, is escorted away, while a General tries to shoo-away small children.



Photo #3: The Dear Leader is whisked away from the children, coming down off the meth, he asks "Can we at least toss a net in and see if we can catch a sea baby?"

How can you take them seriously with those goofy "balloon" hats.  I know these guys are short but what about codpieces?
Dangerous whackjobs with balloon hats OMG.

[JasonPratt]

Costumes with glorious hats == World War Zero (Napoleonic War) + World War One (40 million casualties, worse than WW2).

Mock not the crazy costumes.

[Longdan]

I understand but who wants to be killed by comic opera clowns?  At least they should have fake noses and codpieces.
And drive around with 50 generals in a little tiny car.  Now that would be cool.

A possible change in China? The US and China have jointly declared NK should be nuke-free.

This has some good analysis on the issue: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/04/13/kerry-to-press-china-on-north-korea-amid-missile-test-concerns/

I can't believe this crowd had no comment on this article...

I snuck a peak at it while at work so I couldn't comment then.

I did wonder, however, if the Norks read the Duffle Blog and, if so, whether any of their analysts has the bad sense to show the story to Dear Fatso.

China finally steps up to the issue of NK.

Half of the people think Duffel blog is real news and the other half smile and nod

Here's an interesting perspective, hit the Norks first.

Out of curiosity, is anyone playing Shrapnel's Raging Tiger game yet?

I figure their sales on that game always take a jump when the Norks get mouthy, and Lord knows Shrapnel needs the money now that Illwinter took their toys to someone else's house.

IMO the nork nuclear facility is also a legit target after they have said they will attack the US.

The issue isn't really bombing the north. The problem is that Seoul will get pounded until we wipe out all their artillery. That could take time and cost a lot of civilian lives.

Also, *nobody* wants the NK regime to fall. No one. Well, maybe one guy in the Maldives but that's about it. So taking out their nuclear facility doesn't advance the interests of anyone.
