There, you have China and Russia ready to back up this new successor, hence North Korea once again makes the USA their bitch. You DO recall from whence their uranium came for their weapons programs? You DO recall who FEEDS the people of North Korea, thus allowing them to continue bullying the USA rather than starving them into submission, as you should do? I don't know of a single superpower in history that AIDED its enemy in war. Yours is the first. Well done, dumbasses. Kim Ding Dong will be LAUGHING, as will his allies.

Desperate people do crazy things. Making the 4th largest army armed with WMDs (that can hit parts of the US) and with the most artillery peaces in the world aimed almost exclusively at the 2nd largest city in the world desperate is a bad (suicidal) idea. Starving them makes them desperate. I'm sure even you can follow that to it's logical conclusion.

Except for the suffering of the people, including tens of thousands of kids starving to death, one would almost like to keep north korea around - the perfect example for all but the most militantly ignorant as to the ultimate consequences of socialism.

NK doesn't even pretend to be socialists. They have their own thing, "self-reliance" it translates as.

Too bad it's staying in the bloodline.

NK is a monarchy and the think the ruling family are living gods, why wouldn't it?

Nk is socialist, no ifs, buts, maybes, or perhapses.

Te removed all references to socialism and communism from their official records. They follow the Juche Idea, worker rule doesn't ever enter into the equation.

Look up the definition of socialist: government ownership of the means of production and distribution. In North Korea, the government owns of the means of production and distribution - they're socialist.

Socialism is worker control of the means of production. Most socialists are libertarians and anarchists (I'm not just to get that out in the open). Yes the state can facilitate this by nationalizing businesses and handing them over to the workers but that's hardly the way NK does things.

Sorry, your do-it-yourself definitions won't wash.

Merriam Webster:

socialism:
noun \ˈsō-shə-ˌli-zəm\
Any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.

Did you seriously just use a dictionary to define an entire economic model? You're a ****ing idiot.

North Korea does not own a single WMD that is capable of touching any part of the USA, you moron. Starve the ****ers into submission, and did you not read where I stated you Americans HANDED THEM some uranium, allowing them to produce plutonium? Are you really this stupid? The USA can destroy North Korea today without breaking a sweat if they would starve the NKs into submission. It is not North Korea you are afraid of, its CHINA, you dumb shit. North Korea's equipment is older than your momma.
