USPACOM Commander: NK crisis "worst I've ever seen"

I think even our most competitive Adversaries (China, Russia, et al) realize that Fatboy is not good for any of our interests. As they withdraw support...the chances of a coup increase by the day.

Trump should make a public offer to any Group who wastes Fatboy, that they will be guaranteed a respected and highly profitable position in the new NK. And the history books as well. Talk about bringing the heat...

I promise you China has ways of talking to the Generals

The brainwashing is very strong. All media is controlled by the state. There is no internet. State media only shows propoganda that makes the regime look good. They show no other programing, not even game shows of sitcoms or fiction. People can be imprisoned, even executed for watching a Hollywood movie. Unsanctioned international phone calls come with a penalty of death. Their classrooms only display maps that make North Korea look like a massive empire and the U.S. a tiny country. If anyone so much as thinks anything less than complimentary about the regime or about life in general in that country, they murder them, their entire family, their parents, their grandparents, and their children. Besides, the only jobs that keep people fed are with the regime.

Unless it's done by people in the privileged circles (military, etc.), the rest of the people are too hungry and focused on sheer survival to do anything like that.

It would be like if there was ONLY CNN, and no other media whatsover, no books, no newspapers, no radio, no other tv channels.
