I am not at all certain as to what the North Koreans thought they were going to gain by sinking the Cheonan. Relations with South Korea are now not much better than they were in the 1950s. Secretary of State Clinton is using the sinking as a wedge to try and pry China apart from North Korea and she may be gaining some ground, though progress in that is always hard to discern.
Watch what happens with the Kaesong industrial park, which is on the border of the two countries. It is in North Korea, it employs North Korean workers who work for South Korean companies, who run the factories there. If that shuts down, then things are getting truly bad. If it stays open, then both countries may be signaling that they will work through the sinking of the Cheonan and the deaths of those sailors killed when the Cheonan was torpedoes by a North Korean submarine.

If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
Give it a month, if the insane midget doesn't make amends, and Kaesang will close too, or at least it will be the beginning of the end.
ReplyDeleteYes, you really have to ask yourself what North Korea thought it was doing. I haven't a clue, and I can usually manage some plausible explanation for things like this.
